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.

 CAFOD: India emergency Coronavirus appeal
Thy
Kingdom Come. Bishop Mark has taken the lead on this
evangelisation initiative,
video: The annual International Ecumenical
Initiative of Thy Kingdom Come is promoting a novena of prayer from
Ascension Thursday until Pentecost Sunday, introducing more people
to Jesus. This year it is encouraging us all to pray particularly
for a minimum of five nominated friends or relatives, on a daily
basis, that we wish to bring closer to Jesus. Information and
resources available at the Thy
Kingdom Come website.
Novena Prayer: Lord Jesus, We pray for the confidence to be
missionary disciples, sharing your Good News of salvation with
those we meet in our daily lives. We bring before you in prayer
those who have never known you, that the light of your truth may
penetrate their minds and hearts, and those who have grown lukewarm
in their faith that they may be reawakened to your graces. We
commend to you those in need of your mercy that they will know the
joy of your forgiveness (name the five people you want to pray
for). We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen. For novena daily intentions, see newsletter
9th May.

Medjugorje:
message
for the world via visionary Marija, April 25th 2021: “Dear
children! Today I am calling you to witness your faith in the
colours of spring. May this be a faith of hope and courage. May
your faith, little children, not waver in any situation , not even
in this time of trial. Go courageously with the risen Christ
towards Heaven, which is your goal. I am accompanying you on this
way of holiness and am placing all of you in my Immaculate Heart.
Thank you for having responded to my call.” ... more from Medjugorje
March 25th 2021: “Dear Children! Also today
I am with you to tell you: Little children, who prays does not fear
the future and does not lose hope. You are chosen to carry joy and
peace, because you are mine. I have come here with the name 'Queen
of Peace' because the devil wants peacelessness and war, he wants
to fill your heart with fear of the future - but the future is
God's. That is why, be humble and pray, and surrender everything
into the hands of the Most High Who created you. Thank you for
having responded to my call.”
An 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.”

Pope Francis: 'Let us make room in
our heart and in our day for the Lord. Each Christian family can
first of all - as Mary and Joseph did - welcome Jesus, listen to
Him, speak with Him, guard Him, protect Him, grow in Him; and in
this way improve the world'
From Pope Francis' Twitter
page ~ "All of us have spiritual infirmities that we cannot
heal on our own. We need Jesus’ healing, we need to present our
wounds to him and say: “Jesus, I am in your presence, with my sin,
with my sorrows. You can set me free. Heal my heart”.
