Fifth and Sixth Class October Assembly
Opening Prayer
Remember those who kept the faith who always turned to pray
Who showed the love of Jesus in their lives from day to day.
Remember those this special time who live with God above,
All Saints, All Souls, and all our own who live with God in love.
Mr Kearnins
As we light our candle today we remember family and friends who have died. All Souls Day is celebrated on the 2nd of November in the church. Itis a tradition of honouring and respecting the memory of the faithful departed.I’m sure you all know people in your family who gone to heaven or who may be very sick, and also people that are special and important to you . We are going to pray in silence for a minute for all the people mentioned
.
Ms O’Halloran’s class read the prayers of the faithful
Prayer One
We pray for all those who have died, especially those whom we have known and loved. We pray they enjoy perfect happiness and total fulfilment in eternal life.
Prayer Two
We pray for our families. May our love for each other support us during good times and bad times. Our family should always be a very important part of our lives.
Prayer Three We pray for the sick and for those who care for them at home and in hospital. May they know the strength of God is always with them.
