PRAYER FOR THE SEASON OF CREATION:

Lord, show us how to change. Show us how to do things well today. So that others may not suffer, here and there, now and in the future. Show us how to make our contribution as we change the way we live. The way we travel. The way we make and consume. The way we distribute and sell. The way we use and reuse Energy and products. Show us how to do simple things well in our home, places of work and daily lives. Show us how to protect the world you made, with all its diversity and goodness. Help us to save it from our carbon emissions, global warming, climate change, rising temperatures and sea levels, the displacement of peoples, environmental poverty, harm and destruction. Show us how and show us why. So that alone and with others our contribution will make a difference. We offer this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen Robin Morrison (From “A Heart for Creation” Chris Polhill)

Hi everyone, myself and my son are hoping to come to Knock for Christmas 2024 but we are having difficulties finding somewhere to stay!


We have a car so could stay in a small guesthouse in Westport if there was one.


We would be most grateful if you could place this request in your parish newsletter in the hope that someone from your congregation may help us.


Thank you and God Bless.
