Remembrance Sunday

Picture of a poppy standing out in a field of white and blue flowersRemembrance Sunday and Armistice Day stand as solemn reminders of the end of World War I and honour the sacrifices of those who served and continue to serve in armed conflicts worldwide.

It is a time of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance, acknowledging the profound impact of war on individuals, families, and nations. 

We pause to honour the courage and selflessness of the men and women who have bravely served their countries in times of war and conflict. We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, laying down their lives for the cause of peace and freedom. Their valour and dedication serve as a timeless testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring quest for peace.

As we reflect, let us also pray for peace in our troubled world. May the memory of past sacrifices inspire us to work tirelessly for reconciliation, justice, and healing. May we strive to build bridges of understanding and empathy, reaching across divides to create a more harmonious and compassionate society.

Heavenly Father, we lift up to you all those who have served and
sacrificed for the cause of peace. Grant them your comfort, strength,
and healing. Inspire us to be instruments of your peace in the world.
