Prayer for Trust in Jesus

O Christ Jesus,when all is darkness and we feel our weakness and helplessness,give us the sense of Your presence, Your love, and Your strength. Help us to have perfect trust in Your protecting love and strengthening power,so that nothing may frighten or worry us, for, living close to You, we shall see Your hand,Your purpose, Your will through all things.
Amen

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Someone Has Died

It’s very sad when people die, Jesus

but then you know that already...

Thank you for knowing how I feel

and for all the lovely memories that are left,

and thank you for giving me hope

Accord N.I. is organising courses for inter-church couples preparing for marriage. These courses are similar in content to the standard Accord courses and cover commitment, communication, conflict resolution, Church and children. The difference on an inter-church course is that we have a special session where representatives from the 4 main Christian Churches come together to present their Church’s official view on inter-church marriage. The courses run on Sundays (10.00am-5.00pm) and Tuesday evenings (7.00pm-10.00pm)

You must complete both days of the course. Dates for 2010 are June 27th/29th, September 26th/28th, October 24th/26th November 28th/30th. The venue for these dates is the Dunsilly Inn Hotel, Antrim. Fee £110. Book online www.accordni.com or contact Brenda Russell on 028 90233002 or email: brussell@accordni.com

Prayer of Spouses for Each Other

Lord Jesus, grant that I and my spouse may have a true and understanding love for each other. Grant that we may both be filled with faith and trust.

Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony.

May we always bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each other's strengths.

Help us to forgive one another's failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of self.

May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year.

Bring us both ever closer to You through our love for each other. Let our love grow to perfection. Amen.
