I ask You to heal those in pain, to encourage the hopeless, to console the sorrowing, and to provide for those in want. I ask You to reach out to the lonely. I especially plead for the many people suffering from great poverty and injustice.

Miraculous Infant, I believe that You love me and know all of my needs. I place them in Your hands, especially my present concerns
_(mention here)._

I trust in Your love and care. I want to honour and praise You, now and forever. Amen

Dear brothers & sisters and my dear children,

Good evening!

I’m sure many of you will have been watching the Prime Minister’s address to the nation this evening concerning the introduction of a new lockdown. Attached to this email are HM Government’s National Lockdown Guidance notes for England, page four of which relates specifically to places of worship:

Communal worship and life events - You can leave home to attend or visit a place of worship for communal worship, a funeral or event related to a death, a burial ground or a remembrance garden, or to attend a wedding ceremony. You should follow the guidance on the safe use of places of worship and must not mingle with anyone outside of your household or support bubble when attending a place of worship. Weddings, funerals and religious, belief-based or commemorative events linked to someone’s death are all subject to limits on the numbers that can attend, and weddings and civil ceremonies may only take place in exceptional circumstances.

This means there is no statutory obligation on places of worship to close at this time, and that the public celebration of the Sacraments, where all necessary stewarding and sanitisation measures are in place, may continue.

*So Mass and celebration of other sacraments will continue at St Boniface.*
