Helpful Mask Advice for Holy
Communion: When consuming the host, remember to slip the
elastic off one ear and return it without touching the front
of the mask with your hand. Touching the part you are breathing
through is where you are at most risk of picking up - and then
passing on the virus to surfaces that other people will also
touch.

Ten
suggestions from an enclosed Carmelite order on
how to get through these days in confinement and not perish
in the attempt!
'God of
life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders
and wear us down, when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies
grey and threatening; when our lives have no music in them, our
hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage. Flood the
path with light, we beseech thee, Lord, turn our eyes to where the
heavens are full of promise.' ~ St.
Augustine
Diocese: Homelessness - How can
we help? Meeting a homeless person on the streets, especially
if they have nowhere to go that night, can be quite shocking and
worrying. To think that an individual will be cold, wet and
vulnerable can invoke a host of emotions. Decision-making around
how we act for that person, however, needs to remain clear, needs
to keep the homeless person at the heart of any decision, but also
needs to keep you safe from harm. People experiencing homelessness
are among the most vulnerable to COVID-19. Any support needs to
minimise the risk of infection. Caritas Plymouth in partnership
with St Petrocs, Cornwall, has produced a guide 'Advice
On Engaging with People who are Homeless' for supporting people
who are homeless, - 'Love one another as I have loved you' (John
13:34-35) - available on the Diocesan website link
above.
Mary's Meals provide daily school meals to more than 1.6 million
children, in 19 countries across the globe. It costs only
£15.90 to feed a child for a whole school
year. Giving talks for churches
plays a huge part in raising awareness and raising vital funds.
While volunteers are currently unable to do so, founder, Magnus,
sends a video message
for church groups. Also, click links to watch
short films Child 31
and Generation
Hope. MM mission is to provide one daily meal in a place of
learning to attract chronically poor children into the classroom,
where they receive an education that can, in future, be a ladder
out of poverty. Watch video 2nd
June - how Mary’s Meals is feeding hungry children through this
pandemic and personal reflections on how faith is bringing hope and
comfort - and Latest video "Love Reaches
Everywhere".

Medjugorje: message for the world via visionary
Marija, August 25th 2020: “Dear children! This is a time of
grace. I am with you and anew am calling you, little children:
return to God and to prayer until prayer will be a joy for you.
Little children, you do not have a future or peace until your life
begins with a personal conversion and a change to the good. Evil
will cease and peace will begin to reign in your hearts and in the
world. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray. I am with you
and intercede before my Son Jesus for each of you. Thank you for
having responded to my call.” more from Medjugorje
A random older message: June 25, 1987 “Dear
children! Today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God's
peace. I want each one of you to experience in your heart that
peace which God gives. I want to bless you all today. I am blessing
you with God's blessing and I beseech you, dear children, to follow
and to live my way. I love you, dear children, and so not even
counting the number of times, I go on calling you and I thank you
for all that you are doing for my intentions. I beg you, help me to
present you to God and to save you. Thank you for having responded
to my call.”
