A prayer for conclave 

Heavenly Father,

Look upon your Church with love in these days of discernment.

Send your Holy Spirit to your servants convened in Conclave to guide them in the ways of truth, humility, service, and love for your pilgrims here on earth.

Grant them the grace to discern your will and unite them in a desire to serve you alone.

Through Christ, our Lord,

Amen

Happy Easter to all our parishioners.

"Kindle our lamps so that our personal darkness and the world's may be driven away" St Columban Sermon 12  

O God, Creator of heaven and earth:

Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
