Prayer of the Day ~ by Fr. Gerry McFlynn

Monday

Lord, grant that I may meet this coming week with spiritual tranquility. In each day of the week, reveal your will to me. Whatever news may reach me this week, teach me to accept it with a calm soul, knowing that all is subject to your will. Direct my thoughts and feelings in all my words and actions. Give me the strength to bear the fatigue of the coming week with all that it shall bring. Direct my will and teach made to pray, to believe, to hope, to be patient, and to love. Amen.

Tuesday

On Hiroshima Day (6th Aug), we commemorated the 1st nuclear attack on human life. Today, we commemorate the 2nd such attack at Nagasaki (9th Aug). Our attention is drawn to the nuclear arms race, money spent & impact on those being deprived of life’s basic necessities in order to pay for it. Today’s stockpile of nuclear weapons is now enough to kill everyone on earth twelve times over!! Lord, lead us from Death to Life, from Falsehood to Truth. Lead us from Despair to Hope, from Fear to Trust. Lead us from Hate to Love, from War to Peace. Let Peace fill our hearts, our minds & our world.

Wednesday

All love comes from God. He does not give us a supply to last a lifetime… we have no place to store it. He gives it continually - if we take the time to reach out and receive it.And so today I hold out the bowl of my life asking for the love, the joy and the gentleness I need to share with all those whose lives touch mine.

Thursday

Father in heaven, all that we are and everything we have are your gifts to us. We thank you for this abundance of blessings. Fill us with your Spirit and help us to share all we have in our homes, in our parishes, in our places of work and in our wider communities. Help us to work together in recognising your gifts and your love in those with whom we share our lives. Together, may we bear much fruit as disciples of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Friday

I was hungry, you fed the arms race to protect my ‘freedom’. I was thirsty, you built armoured tanks instead of clean water tanks. I was homeless, you built fall-out shelters in your back gardens. I was naked, you clothed & trained the armed forces. I was sick but scientists were too busy perfecting new weapon’s systems. I was a prisoner of poverty, you argued that this was a necessary atonement for the sins of humankind. “I tell you most solemnly, in so far as you neglected to to do this to one of the least of these, you neglected to to do it to me” (Matthew 25).

Saturday

God of presence, in the midst of our fears and anxieties, enable us to create a space into which you might enter and find us, a space where we may find peace in you. Amen.

Sunday

Our faith is rooted in the truth that we, like Mary, will rise bodily from the dead. Today we give thanks and praise to God for Mary, our Mother. Her YES to God’s Will opened up the hope of eternal life. All powerful and ever living God, you raised the sinless Virgin Mary, mother of your Son, body and soul to the glory of heaven. May we see heaven as our final goal and come to share her glory.

My son Will

Please pray for help for my son who is suffering from a rare autoimmune disease causing damage to his brain. He is 7 years old and is suffering. He is such a kind, loving, and sweet boy and doesn’t deserve this. Please pray that the treatments work to restore him to full health and that we are able to keep it from recurring in the future.
Amen

Bill and Gordon

Please pray for Bill and Gordon, two friends and neighbours, both with severe health issues. They were able to support each other by visiting until they got too ill. They moved in together for companionship. Bill awaits two operations, Gordon has had toe amputations, but today I find that he has contracted sepsis. Bill is on his own now in much pain and worried about his friend and so many more worries.
Pray for strength, courage and blessings for them in all they face.

For David in hospital

Please pray for David who is in hospital at the moment and is due to come home soon. We pray for him to settle back quickly at home and know your healing and peace in the days ahead. Also, please pray for Rosa as she supports him. Thank you.
