Weekend Masses: Sat Vigil Mass 6pm S Sunday Morning Mass 10 am St Francis de Sales : (Feast Day 24th January ) U The holy saint provides a powerful prayer for all those who are N anxious about what could happen tomorrow ….. D Jesus constantly reminds us in the Gospels that we shouldn’t give-in A St. Patricks Church to these feelings and should always place our trust in God. Its not Y Tournafulla easy and that is why we should always pray to God whenever anxie- ty starts to overrun our lives. I Weekend Mass: Saturday Evening 7.30pm St. Francis de Sales wrote a beautiful prayer for such cases. It is a prayer that seeks to N calm our weary hearts, beckoning us to “be at peace.” O Do not look forward in fear to the changes and chances of this life; R Rather, look to them with full confidence that, as they arise, D God, to whom you belong will in His love enable you to profit by them. He has guided you thus far in life, and He will lead you safely through all trials; I Our Lady of the and when you cannot stand it, God will bury you in His arms. N Assumption Church. A Mountcollins Do not fear what may happen tomorrow; R the same everlasting Father who cares for you today Y Weekend Mass will take care of you then and every day. Sunday Morning 11am He will either shield you from suffering, or will give you unfailing strength to bear it. T I Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. Amen.
