Dearly Beloved

A member of my small congregation read of your plight and passed on the information to me Pastor Ised. He asked if our church could help you in any way.

First of all we prayed for your safe deliverance from your illness .... please join us in our prayers

O MARY, conceived without stain, pray for us who fly thee. Refuge of sinners, Mother of those who are in their agony, leave us not in the hour of our death,but obtain for us perfect sorrow, sincere contrition, remission of oursins, a worthy reception of the most holy Viaticum, the strengtheningof the Sacrament of Extreme Unction, so that we may be able to standwith safety before the throne of the just but merciful Judge, our Godand our Redeemer. Amen.

and that if God so wills it your safe deliverance into his arms ....

GOD, WHO hast doomed all men to die, but hast concealed from all the hour of their death, grant that I may pass my days in the practice of holiness and justice, and that I may deserve to quit this world in the peace of a good conscience, and in the embraces of Thy love. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Psalm 30, verse 6. IN MANUS tuas, Domine, commendo spiritum meum.

and finally an invocation to Our Blessed Virgin Mary our church's patron and guiding spirit ....

O DOMINA mea! O Mater mea! Memento me esse tuum. Serva me, defende me, ut rem et possessionem tuam.
MY QUEEN! My Mother! Remember I am thine own. Keep me, guard me, as thy property and possession.

Our small congregration operate a charity by the grace of Our Lord, we raise funds by collections and donations from our members and appeals to those of greater wealth wishing to donate to worthy Christian causes.

The more money we can raise the more money we can give to those in need. We especially like to fund Christian churches, missions, homes for single mothers and orphaned children throughout Africa so that we may spread the word of God and the love of The Blessed Virgin Mary.We will be only to happy to make any donations in your name with a full dedication to you should you wish to give us any money, no matter how small. We are also happy to receive requests for donations from pastors and other lay persons needing help to do their work in the name of God and The Most Holy Mother The Blessed Virgin Mary.

May the good Lord bless you and keep you safe

your brother in prayer

Pastor Robert Ised

Gaudiumcum pace, emendationem vitae, spatium verae poenitentiae, gratiam etconsolationem Sancti Spiritus, perseverantiam in bonis operibus,tribuat nobis omnipotens et misericors Dominus. Amen.
