Remembrance Day

On Monday our school community gathered in the church for a beautiful Remembrance Day liturgy.

You might like to pause and say a prayer for the fallen and for peace.

God of love and peace,

We thank you for the peace and security we enjoy.

We remember those who faithfully served their country in time of war

and we pray for them.

We remember those who are still serving, and we pray for them and their families.

We pray for all men, women and children caught up in today’s terribly conflicts.

We pray for leaders of countries to find peaceful resolutions.

We pray for the day to come soon when there is no war, only peace.

May we who enjoy freedom and peace,

make the most of every opportunity to spread kindness and love. 

Let this be our commitment – to strive for peace in our homes and our world.

This we pray in the name of Jesus who gave his life for the sake of the world:

Jesus Christ, our example of peace. Amen.

November – The Month of Holy Souls

We continue to pray for loved ones who have gone before us…

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace. Amen.

Dear God of Mercy, I pray this day for all souls,

both known and unknown to me,

who, although touched by death,

have not yet entered Your Heavenly Kingdom. AMEN
