June, the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

 

I have just seen this new prayer from Pope Leo to the Sacred Heart:

Pope Leo XIV's Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Lord, I come to your tender heart today,
to you who have words that set my heart ablaze,
to you who pour out compassion on the little ones and the poor,
on those who suffer, and on all human miseries. 

I desire to know you more, to contemplate you in the Gospel, to be with you

 and learn from you and from the charity with which you allowed yourself to be touched by all forms of poverty.

You showed us the Father’s love by loving us without measure
with your divine and human heart.

Grant all your children the grace of encountering you.
Change, shape, and transform our plans,
so that we seek only you in every circumstance:
in prayer, in work, in encounters, and in our daily routine. From this encounter, send us out on mission, a mission of compassion for the world in which you are the source from which all consolation flows. Amen.

Pentecost

 

Sunday is the Feast of Pentecost and is the birthday of the Church. Mass at St. Patrick's at 1.00 p.m. will be a Low Mass. There will be a red frontal on the altar in the lady chapel for the octave of Pentecost.

Last week after Mass, our server Paddy was able to send £350 (equivalent to 400 Euros) to the seminary in Griciliagno where Abbe James Baxter will be ordained to the diaconate in early July. I hope Deacon James will be able to join us at Mass in July. Thank you to all who contributed. the seminary gratefully acknowledged receipt of the donation.

Confessions available before Mass on Sunday.

Sunday after the Ascension

 Sunday's 1.00 p.m. Mass this week will be livestreamed. It will be a Low Mass. 

There will be a retiring collection for one of our three traditional seminarians who will be ordained to the diaconate in Griciliagno, Italy in June The cheque will be forwarded to the seminary to pay for his clerical garb. Thanks to one of our servers, Dr Paddy Spencer, for undertaking this.

UPDATE - Our camera operative is unwell today and so the Mass will not now be livestreamed today. We hope to be up and running again on the first Sunday of July. 

The Ascension

 

Thursday is a holy day of obligation to mark the ascension of Christ back to the Father in heaven. The paschal candle is extinguished immediately after the Gospel and hails the start of Ascensiontide.

Mass at St. Patrick's at 7.00 p.m. will be a Low Mass.

Easter IV

The 1.00 p.m. at St. Patrick's on Sunday will be a Low Mass. Fr Hall has to leave smartly after Mass for another engagement so there will be no confessions available after Mass.
