Prayer to Our Lady of Knock
Our Lady of Knock, Queen of Ireland,
you gave hope to your people
in a time of distress
and comforted them in sorrow.
You have inspired countless pilgrims
to pray with confidence to your divine Son,
remembering His promise,
“Ask and you shall receive,
seek and you shall find”.
Help me to remember that we are all
pilgrims on the road to Heaven.
Fill me with love and concern for my brothers and sisters in Christ, especially those who live with me. Comfort me when I am sick,
lonely or depressed.
Teach me how to take part ever more reverently in the Holy Mass.
Give me a greater love of Jesus
in the Blessed Sacrament.
Pray for me now and at the end of my death.
Amen.

Tara to Slane pilgrim walk – Bealach an tSolais –
The annual pilgrim walk from the Hill of Tara to the Hill of Slane will take place on Saturday, 30th August.
This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the first pilgrimage for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000.
Tara is associated with our pre-Christian history while Slane, according to tradition, is the site where St. Patrick lit the Paschal Fire for the first time in Ireland. The walk is therefore a journey towards the Light of Christ, the source of hope on our pilgrim journey through life. The walk is 15 miles (24 kms) long and winds along country roads through Skryne, Walterstown, and Beauparc, before crossing the Boyne at Slane.
For information and registration, contact Navan Parish Office at 046-9027518 or office@navanparish.ie
