THE MIRACLE PRAYER

Dear Heart of Jesus in the past I have asked you for many favours. This time I ask this you for this special favour. (mention it).

Say for three days and promise publication and favour will be granted no matter how impossible. D.M.

PRAYER TO ST. EXPEDITE

For urgent need...

In loving memory of Chrissie, who passed away on the 8th of February, 2009. R.I.P.

If roses grow in Heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me. Tell her I love her and miss her and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.

Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there is an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Always in our thoughts and sadly missed by her family and friends.

Anniversary Mass will be offered for Christina, John and deceased members of the Mullarkey family on Sunday, 19th February 2023 in St. Patrick’s Church, Ballinaheglish at 11am.

We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. But all we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your resting place we visit and put flowers there with care. But no one knows the heartache as we turn and leave you there. Forever loved and sadly missed by her family, friends and neighbours.

Pauline’s First Anniversary Mass will be celebrated in St. Patrick’s Church, Athleague on Saturday, 25th February 2023 at 12pm.

MONTH’S MIND MASS McCORMACK

John James (J.J.)

Jubilee Close, Roscommon Town, Roscommon. Who passed away on 25th January 2023

You held our hand when we were small, you caught us when we fell, the hero of our childhood and of latter years as well. Every time we think of you, our heart just fills with pride and though we always miss you, we know you’re by our side.

In laughter and in sorrow, in sunshine and in rain, we know you’re watching over us, until we meet again.

Sadly missed by your daughters Jackie and partner Tom Connolly, Karen and husband John Croghan, Mary and husband Mike Keane and Yvonne and partner P.J. Kennedy.

J.J.’s Month’s Mind Mass will be celebrated in the Sacred Heart Church, Roscommon on Sunday, 19th February 2023 at 11am.

On the First Anniversary of Anne’s passing, Anne’s daughter Mary would like to express sincere appreciation and gratitude for all the prayers, support and presence of family, neighbours and friends during our sad loss.

Thank you to all who attended the Removal, Funeral Mass and Burial, for the many mass cards, online condolences and phone calls. Thank you to all the neighbours who attended the Wake and brought refreshments and who helped in any way at the house. A special word of thanks to Fr. Eamonn O’Connor, Fr. Gannon and Fr. O’Flynn who celebrated Anne’s Mass. Also to Emer and Andrew Reynolds who provided the music.

Sincere thanks to Pat and Marion McHugh Funeral Directors for their guidance and professionalism. Thanks to the gravediggers who prepared Anne’s final resting place.

Thank you to the carers who provided care and assistance to Anne in her home during her final years.

To the doctors and nurses of Galway, Sligo and Roscommon Hospitals, and to all who provided such good care to Anne during her stays there in the last few years, thank you.

Sincere thank you to the Silver Eel for the provision of refreshments after Anne’s Funeral.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we trust you will accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our heartfelt gratitude.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass has been offered for your intentions.

Anne’s First Anniversary Mass will take place on Saturday, 18th February at 12 noon in The Parish Church, Strokestown, Co. Roscommon.

If daffodils grow in Heaven Lord, pick a bunch for us, place them in our Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from us. Tell her we love her and miss her and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Today, tomorrow our whole lives through we will always love and remember you. Loved and remembered by your daughter, Mary.

THE MIRACULOUS PRAYER

Dear Heart of Jesus in the past I have asked you for many favours. This time I ask this special one. (mention it). Take it Dear Heart of Jesus and place it within your own broken heart where your father sees it. Then in his merciful eyes it will become your own favour, not mine. Amen. Say this prayer three times, for three days, promise publication and favour will be granted. M.K.

Prayer For A Special Request

Pray for 3 days. Publish on the 3rd day. See what will happen on the 4th day. Oh! Dear Mother of God, Our Lady of Conception Aparecida! Oh! Saint Rita of Cassia and Saint Jude worker of miracles and helper of impossible causes pray for me. Saint Expedite, Saint of urgent causes. Saint Edwiges the Saint of the needy, you know how desperate I feel, please ask Jesus to help me. (Here mention your request). May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored and glorified for ever. Pray 1 Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be... Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. L.S.

Our dear martyr and protector, Saint Expedite, you who know what is necessary and what is urgently needed. I beg you to intercede before the Holy Trinity, that by your grace my request will be granted. (Clearly express what you want and ask him find a way to get it to you.) May I receive your blessings and favours. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. If Saint Expedite grants your request, place fresh flowers beside his statue in your home or in the church. Also place an ad in the newspaper thanking Saint Expedite, so that his name and fame will grow. M.C.
