A WORD IN YOUR EAR: Schools are closed and families will be going on holidays. May everybody be safe on the roads and at the seaside during the Summer. We were saddened by the devastating loss of life in the terrible disaster that occurred in the Grenfell Tower fire in West London. Forest fires swept through European countries; the worst being in Portugal . This disaster brings home to us how important it is that we do everything we can to protect our environment our common home. Let us pray for those who have died and for their loved ones who are heartbroken. Lord your love for us has never failed. Lord your love has never failed us. Listen to our prayer and come to the aid of those who are suffering because of disaster and tragedy. Save us from all evil and help us in time of need. Amen
