Irish Bishops call for prayer and fasting for Gaza
“From all over Ireland, parishioners are reporting their horror and helplessness on seeing images of death and communal destruction in Gaza. To see the relentless bombardment of civilian areas, the deliberate withholding of food from the starving, as well as the callous holding of hostages, it appears that humanity has lost its heart. We in Ireland must pray for a change of heart”.
In the face of these horrors, we invite everyone to turn to the heart of Jesus throughout the month of June, the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, by praying for the renewal of heart that our world so desperately needs. In particular, we call on all Catholics to make June 6th a day of prayer and fasting in solidarity with our sisters and brothers who are suffering at this time in the Holy Land.

Exam Prayer
Lord, I know that you are with me and love me.
Give me peace of mind as I prepare for this time of study.
Help me to focus on my books and notes.
Keep me from all distractions
so that I may make the best use of this time
that is available to me.
Give me insight that I might understand
what I am studying,
and help me to remember it when the time comes.
Above all, I thank you for the ability to be able to study
and for the many gifts and talents you have given me.
Help me always to use them
in such a way that they may honour you
and do justice to myself.
