Friends of His, friends of ours...

 "If love, even human love, gives so much

consolation here, 

what will love not be in heaven?" 

St Josemaria Escriva

 

 

 

 Collect (Today's Liturgy)

Grant, we pray, almighty God,

that the example of your Saints 

may spur us on to a better life, 

so that we, who celebrate the memory of 

Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,

may also imitate without ceasing their deeds.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, 

who lives and reigns with you in the unity 

of the Holy Spirit.

God, for ever and ever.

Prayer After Communion (Today's Liturgy) 

May the holy reception of the Body and Blood

of your Only Begotten Son, O Lord,

turn us away from the cares of this fallen world,

so that, following the example of Saints Martha,

Mary, and Lazarus

we may grow in sincere love for you on earth

and rejoice to behold you for eternity in heaven, 
Through Christ our Lord. 

 

Remembering today... 

Sts Martha, Mary and Lazarus
