Prayer to St Wilfrid Heavenly Father, You gave us St. Wilfrid to be our patron, may he inspire in us a new faithfulness in witnessing to your son, Jesus Christ. We place our trust in you and may the prayers of St. Wilfrid come to our assistance. We praise you Lord, for the graces we receive from your hands. We pray for our parish and our schools, especially for our primary school which is under the patronage of St. Wilfrid. We pray that we may never neglect those who need our help and prayers. We pray for our families and friends and all whom we know. Give comfort and healing to all who are sick. Give peace to the dying and eternal rest to the dead. Amen. Lamb of God (to be sung at the 9.30am Mass) O let the Son of God enfold you, with his Spirit and his love, Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul. O let him have the things that hold you and his Spirit like a dove, will descend upon your life and make you whole. Refrain: Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs. (repeat) O come and sing this song with gladness as your hearts are filled with joy; lift your hands in sweet surrender to his name. O give him all your tears and sadness, give him all your years of pain, and you’ll enter into life in Jesus’ name. Refrain: Jesus, O Jesus, come and fill your lambs.
