The Lord holds us in the palm of His hands.
Come, let us adore The Lord.
A themed Evening of Reflection and Prayer
Led by Catherine NolanThe Spiritual Development Group
invited parishioners to spend a short time in prayer
to reflect and pray on the theme of
"Mary, Our Mother"
In this Holy month dedicated to Our Lady, we reflected on Mary as our mother through scripture, prayer and music. We reflected on the Mysteries of Light and what they meant for us in the world. We prayed one decade of the Rosary, focussing a little on its origins within the Dominican family
Prayer to St. Dominic and St. Catherine
O
holy Priest of God and glorious Patriarch,
Saint Dominic, thou who wast the friend,
the well-beloved son and the confidant
of the Queen of Heaven, and didst work
so many miracles by the power of the
Holy Rosary; and thou, Saint Catherine of Siena,
first daughter of this Order of the Rosary,
and powerful mediator at Mary's throne with
the Heart of Jesus, with whom thou didst exchange
thy heart; do you, my beloved Saints, have regard
to my necessities and pity the sad condition in which
I now find myself. On Earth you opened your hearts
to the miseries of your fellow-men and your hands
were strong to help them; now in Heaven your charity
hath not grown less nor hath your power waned.
Pray, ah, pray for me to the Mother of the Rosary
and to her divine Son, for I have great confidence
that through your assistance I shall obtain the
favour I so much desire. Amen
