SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR
Say this when you pray’
The ‘Our Father’ is the model of all prayer. Two versions of this prayer are recorded in the gospels, a longer form containing seven petitions in the Gospel of Matthew and a shorter form containing five petitions in the Gospel of Luke. It is a prayer that has inspired poets and philosophers, popes and politicians, prisoners and paupers in every corner of the world over the past two thousand years. Every time we pray we use a version of the ‘Our Father’. It is a complete programme of Christian living. It is a summary of the entire Gospel. It covers all of life. It covers our past sin: ‘forgive us our trespasses’. It covers our present need: ‘give us this day our daily bread’. It covers our future trials: ‘lead us not into temptation’. Most amazing of all, it ‘allows’ us to address God as ‘Father’. This is an extraordinary privilege, which would have been incomprehensible to the Jews of Jesus’ day. It’s a privilege that carries with it a challenging responsibility. If we ‘dare’ to call God ‘Father’, we must be prepared to act as His sons and daughters should. The ‘Our Father’ is meant to be lived.
Prayer is the pillow of religion. When we are on our knees we can’t stumble. ‘I tell God what I want quite simply and He always seems to understand’ (St. Thérese of Lisieux).

Prayer for a Church Lord keep this Church the right kind of Church that it is Keep it from being the wrong kind, the Church of the cold shoulder or the Church of the sharp tongue or the Church of the closed mind. Let it always be the Church of the open mind, a Church of care for the broken heart, a Church of mercy, for the faltering step, a Church that mirrors God’s love for his people and the timeless compassion of Mary, God’s Mother, help of the half defeated. May this Church be a Church that understands, “We must love one another of die”. Fr. Ronan Drury RIP.
PRAYER FOR A SAFE HOLIDAY “In the name of God we go on this holiday. May God the Father be with us, God the son protect us, And God the Holy spirit be by our side. Amen.” “Lord, be our guide and our protector on the holiday we are about to take. Watch over us. Protect us from accidents. Keep us free from harm to body and soul. Lord, support us with Your Grace as we celebrate with family and friends. Help us be patient with each other and in any trouble which may come our way. Keep us always mindful of Your presence and love. Amen.”
