I have a family member (Joanne) who has struggled the last several years with Parkinson's disease along with Alzheimer's disease. She believes in the power of prayer and together with her husband (Dave) has a sense that God will completely heal her. Please pray for perseverance and comfort for them along with the wisdom, discernment and grace to accept whatever it is God has planned for them. Thank you in advance for your prayers for them.

What we’re wanting to do here is to shake up both over-familiarity (for those who have been reading the Bible for a long time) that can sometimes cause the Bible to feel stale, as well as to think more deeply about what some of the ancient words and metaphors really mean, and what they might look and sound like in our present day context.
Lament is an important – and beautiful – part of a life of faith...
St. Patrick was a follower of Jesus hundreds of years ago and was known for many things, one of which being this prayer. These words, written so long ago, still ring true today. When you struggle to find the words, allow this prayer to become a reflection and connect with the presence of Christ all around you.
