For the prevention of suicide
Let us pray that those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts might find the support, care, and love they need in their community, and be open to the beauty of life.

SIGNIFICANT ANNIVERSARIES AND FEAST DAYS IN THE MARIST FAMILY

5 Nov: Anniversary of the death of Sr Marie de la Miséricorde, foundress of the Sisters of Our Lady of Oceania, 

           (Jeanne Marie Claudine Basset - Aleipata, Samoa, 1904)

15 Nov: Anniversary of the death of Jean-Claude Colin (1875)

15 Nov: Departure of Marie-Francoise Perroton for Oceania (1845)

Let us continue to remember in our prayers:

• Our elderly sisters, relatives and friends and those we know who are terminally ill.

• Those in formation at all stages that they may be open to grow in the spirit of Mary for the sake of the Kingdom.

• Those who have died recently-our sisters, loved ones and those who have died alone and forgotten.

• Peace in countries at war and an end to escalating violence and lawlessness in cities and towns.

• Ourselves that as we recall the anniversary of Marie-Francoise Perroton's departure for Oceania we may be instruments of unity and reconciliation, willing to go beyond our comfort zones and bearers of hope.

• The protection of children and the vulnerable and those who strive to promote a culture of human dignity and respect
