Second Sunday in Lent 5th March 2023


Loving God,
there is so much darkness in my life and I hide from you.
Take my hand and lead me out of the shadows of my fear.
Help me to change my heart.
Bring me to your truth and help me to respond to your generous love.
Let me recognise the fullness of your love which will fill my life.
Free me from the darkness in my heart.
  Amen

 

R.I.P.

Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Clare Walsh, late of Leixlip and Whitecross, sister of Chrissie Brennan, Claristown. We ask parishioners to remember the bereaved in your prayers.
