During November We Remember and we pray for our relatives and friends who have died. During the month of November we will have Memorial Spaces in our churches where you are welcome to place a memorial card or a photo.
If you would like to have the names of those belonging to you who have died included in this year’s November List of the Dead please take an Altar List of the Dead envelope and sheet (available from the back of the churches) and return them to the church sacristies after Mass or to the Parochial Houses. The names will be remembered in all Masses during November and in our First Friday Masses.
A Litany of Remembrance – We Remember Them
In the rising of the sun and in its going down we remember them;
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter we remember them;
In the opening of the buds and in the warmth of summer we remember them;
In the rustling of the leaves and the beauty of the autumn we remember them;
In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them;
When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them;
When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them.
So long as we live, they too shall live for they are now a part of us as we remember them. Jewish Reform Prayer Book ‘Gate of Prayer’ |
