Feast Of Our Lady of Knock

Our Lady appeared in Knock, Ireland. on the night of August 21, 1879. Though she never said a word, her appearance comforted many and gave a renewed vigour to the faith of those of the Emerald Isle, and encouraged many to turn to the Virgin Mary. The anniversary of this apparition is remembered each year at the Knock Shrine on August 21 with a special liturgy offered at the site of Mary’s appearance. However, the rest of Ireland celebrates Our Lady of Knock on August 17. It is classified as a “memorial,” and parishes around Ireland may celebrate Our Lady’s apparition on that day.  In Ireland the 21st August remains the feast day of St Pius X, the Pope of the Eucharist.

 PRAYER FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

God of Comfort,  send your Spirit to encompass all those whose lives are torn apart by violence and death in the Middle East. You are the Advocate of the oppressed and the One whose eye is on the sparrow.  Let arms reach out in healing, rather than aggression. Let hearts mourn rather than militarize.   **************************************************************************                    PRAYER FOR THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE

Loving God, we pray for the people of Ukraine,  for all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to them and protect them. We pray for world leaders, for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices. We pray for the world, that in this moment of crisis, we may reach out in solidarity to our brothers and sisters in need. May we walk in your ways so that peace and justice become a reality for the people of Ukraine and for all the world.    Amen.     Our Lady, Queen of Peace, pray for us!      Our Lady of Kyiv, pray for us!

                              PRAYER FOR THE BEREAVED                                                        Lord, comfort all who mourn, and strengthen them in the Hope of the Resurrection, where there will be no more sickness or mourning, but eternal peace and happiness in your Presence
