Tobernalt Holy Well
The Holy Family shrine was erected at
Tobernalt to honour the year of the family,
inaugurated by Pope Benedict in 2007/08.
The images of Our Lady, St. Joseph and
the teenager images of Jesus are presented
to us at the Shrine. The shrine is dedicated
to all families and represents all aspects of family life. The invitation at this
shrine is to offer in prayer the humanity and brokenness of our own family to
the Holy Family that walked on this earth. They too experienced the joys and
sorrows, the high and low points of life.

Prayer to Our Lady of Knock
Our Lady of Knock, Queen of Ireland, you gave hope to
People in a time of distress and comforted them in sorrow.
You Have inspired countless pilgrims to pray with confidence
to your
Divine Son, remembering His promise:
"Ask and you shall Receive, Seek and you shall find".
Help me to remember that we are all pilgrims on the road to Heaven.
Fill me with love and concern for my brothers and
Sisters in Christ, especially those who live with me.
Comfort me when I am sick or lonely or depressed.
Teach me how to take part ever more reverently in the Holy Mass.

3. Pray for me now, and at the hour of my death.
Amen
