64TH Annual Citizenship Service At Christ Church Cathedral
Sunday, November 2, 2003
TRUST is a non-denominational and non-partisan organisation. However, from day to day TRUST is invited to participated in public meetings, church services and gatherings and seminars of all kinds. These invitations are generally accepted where an opportunity is provided to advocate on behalf of the needs of the outsiders on the margins of Irish society.
The 64th Annual Citizenship Service in Christ Church Cathedral was once such occasion when TRUST Director and Co-Founder Alice Leahy was asked to deliver a brief message in the form of a prayer:
Full text as delivered by Alice Leahy is as follows:
(For all who seek refuge in our land)
Almighty God, heavenly Father,
We commend to your mercy those for whom life does not spell freedom.
Bless the refugees who share our land
remember all who sleep rough on our streets;
help us to care for the young people of our nation,
especially for those addicted to drugs,
that, by the help and guidance of those dedicated to their welfare
hurts may be healed and faults forgiven.
Lord, in your mercy….
