Our Lady of Grace Conference

Meeting of Thursday 12/05/2016 

Since our last meeting our Vincentians have undertaken a total of 12 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 and clothes.

Opening prayers included a reading of the Year of Mercy prayer.   Members then discussed visits made and correspondence received.

The meeting ended with prayers for two parishioners who had just died, for their families and all those who are sick in our parish.  We pray for them and all those who are elderly or alone:

“Lord Jesus.
You called us to serve you and one another in
love.
Bless our sick so that they may bear their illness
in union with Jesus' sufferings and restore them quickly
to health.

Bless their families and all those who have grown old in your service.

Give them courage and strength in their faith

and lead us all to eternal glory.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Your Son, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever

Amen.”
