something you somehow haven’t to deserve. Robert Frost

LET US PRAY TOGETHER

God of life and promise, protect us, your pilgrim people.As we journey towards our home in heaven,bless us with a sense of adventure and a sense of security.

As we seek to be home-makers here on earth,with our loved ones and in our parish and regional community,may we create for each other an experience of Christian welcomethat puts us in touch with you and gives us a foretaste of what home will be like forever.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ,the Way, the Truth and the Lifenow and forever.

AMEN
