Please pray for the soul of Bobby Sands who died today 31 years ago, his family and friends and his 9 comrades who followed him to the grave. Thank you.
 
May Bobby rest with the Lord alongside all his IRA comrades. May their sacrifices eventually win out in procuring Ireland it’s unification. (sadly I think we’ll need to wait for the queen to croak before this can happen).
 
One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist.

I don’t wish ill of the dead, however, and will pray for the repose of his soul.
 
May Our Lord have mercy on Bobby Sands and all who have hungered or still hunger for peace in Ireland. Amen
 
By Thy resurrection from the dead, O Christ, death no longer hath dominion over those who die in holiness. So, we beseech Thee, give rest to Thy servants in Thy sanctuary and in Abraham’s bosom. Grant it to those, who from Adam until now have adored Thee with purity, to our fathers and brothers, to our kinsmen and friends, to all men who have lived by faith and passed on their road to Thee, by a thousand ways, and in all conditions, and make them worthy of the heavenly kingdom.
 
Im happy to pray for the repose of the soul of anyone who has died, May his soul rest in peace agus ar dheis de go raibh a anam dilis.
 
Thank you so much! I will pray for all of you and your families. 🙂

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

His is a sad story.

However, I consider it in poor taste to publicly commemorate, with a call for prayers, the legacy of someone who deliberately planned and carried out the taking of his own life in order to make a political statement, whether or not you intend to include several murderers who imitated him in their own suicides.

I’m sorry, I honestly didn’t mean to offend anyone. 😦 In my opinion everyone deserves prayers, even people you think are criminals.

Criminals are IMO, in most need of our prayers. That’s the reason mine is up there.
 
Eternal Father we ask Your mercy upon the souls of these dead.;
and consolation for their families.
Father we ask for charity and peace to prevail in their nation.
 
Please also pray for:

Bobby Sands
Francis Hughes
Raymond McCreesh
Patsy O’Hara
Joe McDonnell
Martin Hurson
Kevin Lynch
Kieran Doherty
Thomas McElwee
Michael Devine
 
Eternal rest grant them O Lord
And may Perpetual Light shine upon them
May their souls and the souls of all the failthful departed
through the mercy of God
Rest in peace
Amen.
