Our Lady of Grace Conference

Meeting of Thursday 23/04/2015

                                                                                                                         

Since our last meeting our Vincentians have undertaken a total of 9 visits to people in the local community and hospital providing companionship, helping with shopping and paying bills.   Easter grants were also distributed to eight of families in need, with a holiday grant being approved for one family.

                                                

At the end of the meeting prayers were offered for our own individual intentions, our families and all those who have asked for prayers to be said. 

As Saint Augustine prayed:

“Watch, dear Lord, with those who cannot sleep and those who weep.

Tend the sick, give rest to the weary and bless the dying.
Relieve those who are suffering, have pity on those in great distress,
and shield those who are happy.
Amen.”
