Pray for a poor priest in West Belfast who committed suicide - Fr Matt Wallace http://www.irishnews.com/news/people-s-priest-will-be-buried-in-the-city-where-he-belongs-1263226
O God, Thou didst raise Thy servant, Fr. Matt Wallace, to the sacred priesthood of Jesus Christ, according to the Order of Melchisedech, giving him the sublime power to offer the Eternal Sacrifice, to bring the Body and Blood of Thy Son Jesus Christ down upon the altar, and to absolve the sins of men in Thine own Holy Name. We beseech Thee to reward his faithfulness and to forget his faults, admitting him speedily into Thy Holy Presence, there to enjoy forever the recompense of his labours. This we ask through Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord. Amen. Eternal Rest grant unto him O Lord, and let Thy Perpetual Light shine upon him forever, may he rest in peace. Amen. May the souls of all the faithful departed through the Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Padraig, I hope you read this. You posted somewhere about Fr. Wallace was in purgatory. Since then he has been on my mind a lot. In Mass this morning, I ended up offering the Mass for him rather than for what I wanted to offer it for. he keeps intruding so to way. If you get ay furtherword about Fr. Wallace could you post it. I have to leave the board here for the next 55 days as I need to do several Rosary Novenas and I cannot do them and keep reading the board. Its like a big drink of wonderful cold water and I will miss it but the Novenas are really important. If I just knew that Fr. Wallace was doing OK it would be great.
