Monday 10 June 2024
“In our more reflective moments, and in our more desperate moments, we feel our need for prayer and try to go to that deep place. But, given our lack of trust and our lack of practice, we struggle to get there. We don’t know how to pray or how to sustain ourselves in prayer. But in this we are in good company, with Jesus’ disciples. And so a good beginning is to recognize what we need and where it is found. We need to begin with a plea: Lord teach us to pray!”

Prayer for D-Day Anniversary
On the eve of the eightieth anniversary of D-Day, let us pray.
Lord of the nations,
we honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who served.
Grant us similar courage to recognise and restrain evil in our own day,
and may those who lead the nations of the world
work together to defend human liberty,
that we may live peaceably one with another.
This we ask in the name of the Prince of Peace,
our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.

World Day for Children
Today is the Catholic Church’s first World Day for Children. Pope Francis announced this special day last year. The idea came from a nine-year-old boy, Alessandro, who wrote to Pope Francis with an idea to bring children together from different countries for a special event. Alessandro’s hope was that the children could get to know one another, play and pray together, and become friends. Pope Francis has written a letter to children. You will find it at the following link together with lots of resources to use at home:
