RESPONSORIAL PSALM: I rejoiced when I heard them say:

                                              ‘Let us go to God’s house’.

IMPULSES FOR PRAYER: Gn2:5-17;   Prov3:13-20;   Lk 2:22-32

MEDITATION: 

Blessed are you, O Lord,

Our light and our salvation,

Creator of the day and night.

We give you thanks for the light of Christ

Rising from the dead.

Dispel all darkness

And fill us with your Holy Spirit

That we may sing:

Glory to you O Father, the source of every light!

Glory to you Lord Jesus, the firstborn from the dead!

Glory to you O Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life!

To you, Most Holy Trinity, be praise and glory

On this day of resurrection

And for evermore.

Amen.       Prayer from the Glenstal Monastic Office

Please pray for the Snowflake Night Shelter for homeless people, a cause very close to

Fr Seamus’ heart: Jesus, help us to see your face in the eyes of every homeless person;

keep them safe from physical and emotional harm;

give them hope for a better future by the respect, kindness and love shown to them. Amen

Please also pray for those who transport beds and bedding from church to church each day.
