Our Lady of Grace Conference

Meeting of Thursday 14/04/2016 

Since our last meeting our Vincentians have undertaken a total of 14 visits to people in the local community, providing support and companionship to the housebound, helping with shopping and supporting those in need by giving out grants or other help.

Opening prayers included a reading from the SVP manual “What is simplicity?”.   Members then discussed visits made, correspondence received and various other matters including initial plans for the mass for the sick and housebound in the autumn.

The meeting ended with prayers for the special intentions of the members, those who had asked for prayers and for a baby critically ill in hospital.

“Father we ask for Your healing touch on the lives of all babies who are critically ill.   Comfort them and ease their suffering and discomfort.
Give the doctors the wisdom to treat their illnesses correctly and quickly.

Strengthen and help their parents and all who are involved in the nursing care.

Give them all they may need to continue to look after such sick children, knowing that You care for little children and are the One who heals.”
