This week our theme of our liturgy has been remembrance culminating in today the 11th November when at the 11th minute of the 11th hour and the 11th day the guns ceased in World War 1 and we remember all those who died in that awful conflict and those who continue to die in war. Throughout the school the children have been wearing all different types of representations of poppies to honour the fallen and support the British Legion who look after those affected by war.
‘From the rising of the sun to its setting -we will remember them ‘
War can also affect people in other ways; we know from that from recent conflicts it can lead to people having to flee their homes and lead them to become refugees – this has been so sadly seen in the war in the Ukraine- at least 7 million people have had to leave their homes in order to escape what is happening.
In the Gospel on Sunday we hear about Jesus telling his disciples warns us that life will be difficult. The world will face wars and disasters, but we mustn’t lose hope he will guide us and save us.
Jesus, help us to put our faith and trust in you at all times. May we not be afraid but instead believe that you will always keep us safe. Amen.
