Your prayers are urgently requested for some close relatives of mine who are facing a likely bereavement, and for the good person who is dying.

Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Eddie McGrady, former SDLP MP for South Down, who has died. I used to see him sometimes at the prayer evenings for men in St Brigid's Church in South Belfast.

The ACP website reports that Ger Gleeson, a prominent lay supporter of theirs, has died. Whatever our differences with the ACP, let us join with them in offering condolences and prayers. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him...

Pray for the people of the Philippines at this terrible time. Donations to a suitable charity would also be appreciated, I'm sure. What led me to remember this was walking past the Mansion House on Thursday and seeing a sign that led me to a book of condolences with a Red Cross collecting bucket beside it. How shocking to realise that so much devastation on the other side of the world has so little impact on our lives - a scrap in the newspaper, a few seconds on a news website. How little we know about the Filipinos, considering how many of them come here to do the work we Irish increasingly can't spare the time to do (like looking after our elderly). Pray for them, and keep an eye out for suitable charitable appeals.

Your prayers are also requested for the repose of the soul of Fr Alec Reid CSSR, formerly of Clonard in Belfast, who has just died. Anyone of my age will recall the pictures of Fr Alec Reid beside the body of the British soldiers killed at the funeral - one of the defining issues of the Troubles. I might not have agreed with him about everything but he lived at the core of BElfast's "murder mile" when that took real courage, he put his life on the line for his people in what is a run-down and deprived area even without the Troubles, he went to the limit and reached out to people with whom he might not have been in political sympathy to try and bring peace, and devoted his last years to working for peace in other troubled parts of the world, notably the Basque Country. Blessed are the peacemakers. Rest in peace, valiant heart. www.rte.ie/news/2013/1122/488384-father-alec-reid/www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N7hNj2w9To

Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Alison Davis of No Less Human, the disabled members section of the British Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child, who has just died spuc-director.blogspot.ie/2013/12/alison-davis-leader-of-spucs-division.htmlDid she visit Ireland during the campaign for the 1983 referendum? The link above says she was active since 1982, and I think I remember her being in Ireland, but I may be mistaken.
