You are the Resurrection and the Life
A beautiful prayer for use in times of grief and mourning.
Here at CAFOD we hold all our supporters, volunteers, staff, and those we have worked alongside overseas who have died in our prayers.
We also pray for their friends and family and for all those who mourn, that they may find comfort in this difficult time.

The burden of grief

The light of God's promise

A step along the way
This beautiful reflection, with words often attributed to Saint Oscar Romero, encourages us to consider the contribution we can all make to build a brighter future for generations to come.
Hold me to your heart
