Prayer of St. Alphonsus – 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.

As the virus strikes hard for a second time, let us be mindful of all that we can do to keep ourselves and each other safe. Let us also keep in prayer the brave medical staff who face danger in caring for those who have contracted the virus. They deserve our undying gratitude.
In our own church we are taking steps to adjust to the latest advice and also face the onset of colder weather during which we will have the church heating on. The church will be ‘vented’ between masses and for good measure, the door handles have received a special treatment to prevent the virus adhering to them. There can now be limited use of the toilets.
God Bless
