Our Lady of Grace Conference

Meeting of Thursday 07/07/2016 

Since our last meeting our Vincentians have undertaken a total of 8 visits to people in the local community, providing support and companionship to the housebound and those in care homes.  Members have also provided transport, helped with shopping and paid bills for the sick and housebound.

Opening prayers included a reading taken from “Be Happy” a book on the Beatitudes produced by the Augustinian Sisters.   Members then discussed visits made and holiday grants for distribution to families in need.

The meeting ended with prayers for a person who had recently died and for our country, especially those in charge.

God of power and might, wisdom and justice we ask for blessings on our leaders.

May those who are in positions of authority take their responsibility seriously and do their very best each day.

May they realise their need for you and for your direction, may they hear your voice as they make their decisions, and may they follow your guidance.

We ask all these things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen
