McGrory Confessions: Saturday,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please pray for the sick in our parish and those who have died: Jack Perkins; George Francis Morrison; Ivy Smallwood; Sr Clare Thérèse; Daisy May Gaynor (anniversaries). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last Week’s Collection: £343.66. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Following the invitation of the Bishops of England and Wales to make every Friday of May 2010 a Day of Prayer of Atonement and Reparation for the scandal of child abuse in the Catholic Church, there will be a Holy Hour this (and every) Friday between 7 and 8 o’clock. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on the altar and there will be an opportunity for silent prayer before the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May is traditionally a
month of devotion to Our Lady. At the
end of every Mass during the month we shall recite the following prayer,
which dates from the third century and is the oldest-known prayer to the
Blessed Virgin:- We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God. Despise not our prayers in our necessities,
but deliver us from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new English Translation of the Missal was given approval this week and will probably come into force on the First Sunday of Advent 2011. Before then, the texts will be promulgated and printed and there will be a period of preparation before they are finally implemented. No details are available as yet, but as they do become available, you will be fully informed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
