Mass for Feast of St John XXIII
St John XXIII Feast Day Mass
As a school we gathered together to celebrate Mass on the occasion of the feast day of our school saint: Saint Pope John XXIII. Fr. Fergal celebrated the Mass with all children and reminded us that we too, like St John XIII are called to be saints.
Prayer for Strength by St John XXIII
Every day I need you, Lord, but today especially,
I need some extra strength to face whatever is to come.
This day, more than any other day, I need to feel you near me to strengthen my Courage and to overcome any fear.
By myself I cannot meet the challenge of the hour.
And so, dear Lord, hold my trembling hand.
Be with me, Lord, this day and stretch out your powerful arm to help me.
May your love be upon me as I place all my hope in you. Amen.
