Parish Prayer 

A few minutes before Mass starts the congregation prays together so that we can approach Mass quietly and prayerfully.  A lovely prayer has been composed, shown below,  which we will use as our Parish Prayer.   

Thanks to Fr Peter Dutton for composing the parish prayer.

A prayer for Ukraine

Loving God,
We pray for the people of Ukraine,
for all those suffering or afraid,
that you will be close to them and protect them.
We pray for world leaders,
for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices.
We pray for the world
that in this moment of crisis,
we may reach out in solidarity
to our brothers and sisters in need.
May we walk in your ways
so that peace and justice
become a reality for the people of Ukraine
and for all the world.
Amen.
