Alleluia!
Remembrance Sunday
Lord, we remember those who died
when madness ruled the world and evil
dwelt on earth, those we knew and
those whose very name is lost. Because
of their sacrifice, may we renew our fight
against cruelty and injustice, against
prejudice, tyranny, and oppression.
Still we cry to God out of the darkness of
our divided world. Let not the hope of
men and women perish. Let not new
clouds rain death upon the earth. Turn
to yourself the hearts and wills of rulers
and peoples, so that a new world may
arise where men and women live as
friends in the bond of your peace.
In a world still troubled with war, hatred
and unrest, we pray for peace and unity... You have called us to be one, to live
in unity and harmony, and yet we are
divided; race from race, faith from faith,
rich from poor, old from young; neighbour from neighbour. O Lord, by whose
cross all enmity is brought to an end,
break down the walls that separate us,
tear down the fences of indifference and
hatred; forgive us the sins that divide us,
free us from pride and self-seeking;
overcome our prejudices and fears. Give
us courage to open ourselves to others,
and by the power of your Spirit make us
one.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
Amen.

FAITH IN FOCUS:
SOMETHING
W
e can always find
reasons to worry,
even when there’s nothing
to worry about. Some people love to be frightened
into thinking that every
flood, hurricane, war or
earthquake is somehow a
sign that the end of the
world is about to hit us.
They love to have something to worry about.
I
n today’s gospel
Jesus tells us to be
worried about three
things. But they’re not
the ones we expect to
hear.
First, he tells us to
worry about being deceived. Make sure
you’re not taken in by
claims about the end
of the world. If you
believe that the predictions
of Nostradamus or the
prophecies of Malachy are
true then it’s time to give in.
You should worry, says
Jesus, if you’re enticed by
these claims to know about
the future, by rumours, apparitions of gloom, or
plagues and revolutions as
forerunners of the end of

the world. Yes, worry. Because if you put your trust
in these predictions (which
are always explained away
when they fail to deliver)
then you’re far away from
trusting in God’s promises.
You’ve already been
tricked.
S
to worry, says Jesus, when
you begin to fear that natural disasters have a sinister
meaning. All sorts of fearful
things take place in this
world, but your endurance
will win you your lives.
T
hirdly, Jesus implicitly
tells us to worry if we

plea to get things into
perspective.
Where are our priorities? Are we living our
lives eating and drinking, so caught up in
the ordinariness of
daily existence, planning how to spend our
lottery win, how to improve our garden and
how to get the latest isound that we have
lost the plot? If you want
something to worry about,
then worry about how you
are preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus.
you. The fact that terrorists
exist doesn’t mean that one
lives next door to you. The
fact that people get shot
and knifed doesn’t mean
that it’s going to happen to
