GARMENT OF SUFFERING, HOPE & THANKSGIVING
As in previous years, from this weekend a basket will be place in front of the altar in both churches where you may put your piece of cloth, as you pray for your own pain or suffering or that of someone close to you. The prayer may also be one of Hope or Thanksgiving for favours received.
If you are bringing your own piece of cloth, please make it about 6 inches square, as it makes the sewing together of the pieces of cloth much easier. Spare pieces of cloth will be available in baskets in the main porches of our Churches.
The Garment will be placed on the cross on Good Friday.

Paidir Pádraig Naofa in ár dTeanga Féin
Críost Liom Críost romham,
Críost I mo dhiaidh, Críost istigh ionam,
Críost fúm, Críost os mo chionn,
Críost ar mo láimh dheas, Críost ar mo láimh chlé,
Ccríost mar a luífidh mé, Críost mar a suífidh mé,
Críost mar a seasfaidh mé,
Críost I gcroí gach duine atá ag cuimhneamh orm,
Críost I mbéal gach duine a labhraíonn liom,
Críost I ngach súil a fhéachann orm,
Críost I ngach chluas a éisteann liom.
