St. Clare:

Clare, the founder of 2nd order of St. Francis. Feast day 11th August. She was born into a wealthy family in 1194. Her father wanted her to marry into a wealthy family at the age of 15 but she refused to cooperate with his plan. At 18, she escaped from her parental home and formed the fledgling group of Franciscans where she had her hair cut off as a sign of her commitment to the Franciscans order. Her father and brothers stormed the convent but she refused to leave and she clung to the altar. Sixteen days later her sister Agnes joined her in the convent as did many of her friends and they lived a life of complete seclusion. However she spent the last 27 years of her life in serious illness.

The Diocesan Launch of the World Meeting of Families will be held in St Ninnidh's Church Derrylin on Tuesday 21 August at 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and every parish in the diocese is asked to be represented. Every parish will be presented with a sapling tree to be planted in memory of the Pope's visit to Ireland. The ceremony will take the form of a beautiful Evening Prayer and will be followed by refreshments afterwards.

 Hymn:

This is the day, this is the day.                This is the day that the Lord has made.

That the Lord has made,                         We will rejoice and be glad in it.

That the Lord has made.                             This is the day, this is the day.

We will rejoice, We will rejoice,                 That the Lord has made.

And be glad in it, and be glad in it.

Offertory:

Be still for the presence of the Lord.       Be still for the glory of the Lord

The Holy One is here.                             Is shining all around.

Come bow before Him now                        He burns with holy fire.

With reverence and fear.                                    With splendor he is crowned.

In him no sin is found.                              How awesome is the sight.

We stand on holy ground.                         Our radiant King of light.

Be still for the presence of the Lord       Be still the glory of the Lord

The Holy one is here                               Is shining all around..

Communion

Lay your hands gently upon us,                    You were sent to free the broken hearted.

Let their touch render your peace,           You were sent to give sight to the blind.  

Let them bring your forgiveness and         You desire to heal all our illness.              

healing,  Lay your hands gently                  Lay your hands, gently lay your hands.

Lay your hands

As I Knee before you.         Chorus -

As I kneel before you,                 Ave Maria.                          All I have I give you,

As I bow my head in prayer,        Gratia plena,                     Every dream and wish are yours,

Take this day, make it yours                       Dominus tecum.                 Mother of Christ, Mother of mine,

and fill me with your love.           Benedicta tu.                      Present them to my Lord.
