Dromahair ~ Killargue ~ Newtownmanor Sunday 28th September 2014 ~ The 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Pope Francis has requested that today, Sunday 28th September, the whole Church should pray for the Third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops which begins on Sunday 5th October to discuss the topic: The Pastoral Challenoes of the Family In the Context of Evangelization. Prayer to the Holy Family for the Synod, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate the splendor of true love, to you we turn with trust. Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and small local Churches. Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again experience violence, rejection and division; may all who have been hurt or scandalized find comfort and healing. Holy Family of Nazareth, may the approaching Synod make, us once more, mindful of the sacredness of the family and its beauty in God's plan. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer. Amen.
