- Act of Spiritual Communion
When the faithful are unable to attend Mass due to extraordinary circumstances, they are able to make an Act of Spiritual Communion. This resource has been created by the daughter of one of our parishoners.
In light of the fact that many are unable to attend Mass, Magnificat is offering complimentary access to the online version of its prayer book. Magnificat includes the daily liturgy, saint of the day, spiritual reflections and prayers.
The liturgy of the Hours is the richest single prayer resource of the Christian Church, with prayers, psalms and readings for each of the Hours, changing each day and through the seasons.
Morning Prayer-at the start of the day's work and the coming of the light.
Daytime Prayer-at midmorning, noon and in the afternoon, to unite us with the one for whom and through whom we are working.
Evening Prayer-at the end of the day'swork, to offer up what we have done.
Night Prayer-last thing at night, to commend our souls to God.
While we face the coronavirus pandemic, let us turn to the face of God in prayer and ask for His healing, His help and His protection. We will pray for all who are affected, for all who are sick and suffering, for all those who work in the medical profession, and for those who have died as well as for their grieving family members.
