Bishop MacDaid urges road users to be safe and recommends prayer for motorists.
Bishop Liam MacDaid, Bishop of Clogher, has called on all road users, motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, to take special care of themselves and their loved ones as they travel this August bank holiday weekend, which is the busiest weekend of the year on our roads.
Bishop MacDaid said “Ahead of our August bank holiday weekend, and in the wake of the most serious Irish road accident on record in Donegal on 12 July last, I ask that we exercise particular vigilance in terms of our road safety responsibilities over the next three days.
“As individuals we have an obligation to exercise a real duty of care to other road users by improving our driver behaviour, and at a public policy level, this improved behaviour needs to be matched with effective strategic planning and greater resourcing.
“Care for one another in the community is a basic value which travels across different cultures and different religions. This duty of care also applies to our road use and it is fundamental to the common good.”
Bishop MacDaid recommends the following dedicated prayer for motorists which they may wish to pray before driving:
Prayer for motorists before driving:
Before I take my place behind the wheel
I pray, O Sacred Heart - Guide me on my way.
Virgin Mary, Morning Star, from every danger guide this car.
Thou dear Lord who gave it to enjoy,
Grant that its purpose be to save and not destroy.
AMEN

Kids Corner. Cian and Bella are back after the summer!
Luke 14:25-33 • Going for Gold!
Bella: Hi there!
Cian: Hi Bella!
Bella: What’s the Gospel about today Cian, I’m not sure I understand it.
Cian: It’s actually not that hard to understand when you think about it Bella. Jesus is explaining to us that deciding to follow him is not about adding up every little thing we do and counting the cost, it is about taking the call to faith seriously and trying every day to live our Christianity. Look, take me and the team, being in the Championships was all we wanted, our manager told us that ‘Going for Gold’ was about being dedicated and working for that title! The Gospel today asks us to do the same thing! ‘Go for Gold’ as Christians means really working hard to be real followers of Jesus!
Are you listening to God’s call to faith? How will you respond today?
