Prayer of St. Alphonsus – (to be used when making spiritual communion)
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in this Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul so that. I may unite myself wholly to You now and forever. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Parishioners will receive the first name, job title and hospital location of an NHS Worker, whilst the NHS worker will receive your first name and parish name. No email addresses will be passed on at any point. If you would like to be involved email: rebekah.okeeffe@gmail.com with your name and parish name.
Please print off the screen shots of this newsletter and post it through the door of any parishioner you know without electronic access and make sure everyone feels okay and feels connected.
