As I’ve listened to the news this week, it has prompted me to think about the difference it makes to any community whether people choose to keep what they have to themselves or to share it with others.

Prayer of the Week 31 January 2021

Christ the living word;
you are the source of all authority in heaven and on earth.
All that is and was, was made through you.
When you spoke in the synagogue, everyone was astonished by your authority
and the integrity of your words.
You spoke your sacrificial authority on the cross
and thereby broke the barriers created by sins.
Help us, who are imprisoned by the slavery of sin,
to speak with integrity and authority into the situations of life that demand your light.
By the authority of your name, help us to approach God’s Throne of Divine Mercy
knowing our sins are forgiven in your name.
Amen
