Bishop of Ferns Dr Denis Brennan has asked that prayers for fine weather be offered at all Masses in his diocese this month because of the difficulties being faced by many involved in agriculture.
Bishop Brennan said the current spell of very bad weather is causing added pain and anxiety to people already under pressure and it constitutes a real threat to the livelihoods and well-being of many in rural areas.
How about offering a prayer to the people who have been made redundant and are on the verge of losing their homes. There won't be an rescue packages for them.
