Pray For People Suffering From Famine In Southern Africa And Ethiopia

Many millions are starving to death in southern Africa and later this year more millions are estined to die in Ethiopia and Eritreya. Cafod are asking people to include the people of Africa in their prayers and suggest the following one:

Living God Our Strength and help. We turn to you in our distress. May the spirit of compassion Comfort and protect your people. In the parched lands and failed harvests We see you hungry. May the shadow of that hunger Be broken by the light of your hope. In our hearts we hold a vision Of a better world. May we, by our actions Bear witness to your love. AMEN

Those who would like to donate to CAFOD can do so with credit cards on 0500 85 88 85 or via the internet www.cafod.org.uk/southernafrica

Charismatic Priest's Easter Week Retreat
The speaker at this year's annual priests' retreat in Easter week is Fr Bob de Grandis from the United States. Fr Bob was responsible in the early years of Charismatic Renewal for helping people in England to move into and to understand the working of the charisms. Apart from the excellent and stimulating speakers they always manage to get, one of the attractions says Fr Mark White, one of the organising team, is simply the fellowship of being able to share with brother priests in the same situation. Why not offer to sponsor your parish priest to go? For further details see coming events.

SOS Telephone Prayer Line
The SOS Prayerline hours have been changed to 8pm to midnight. Those who man the telephones pray in front of the Blessed Sacrement while they wait for calls, and pray with people over the phone for any problems or difficulties they may be facing. They do not offer counselling advice, only prayer. The SOS Prayerline number is 01243 377331.
