Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit of God,

visit now this soul of mine,

and dwell within it until the eventide.

Inspire all my thoughts.

Pervade all my imaginations.

Suggest all my decisions.

Lodge in my soul’s most inward citadel,

and order all my doings.

Be with me in silence and in my speech,

in my haste and in my leisure,

in company and in solitude,

in the freshness of the morning

and the weariness of the evening.

Give me grace at all times

to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.

Visiting the Sick and Housebound Unfortunately, due to the latest Covid restrictions, we will no longer be doing house visits at this time. These are the regulations that have been given to us by Bishop Brian, we will keep you updated. If however the person who is housebound is seriously unwell, and needing the sacraments we are able to visit.

 

Fr. Tim leaving Next Sunday will be the last mass I celebrate before I return to England.  When I arrived, I thought that I would only be here until Easter.  As we know everything changed in the most unusual way, but it was a real blessing for me to be in Lockdown in such a beautiful place surrounded by good people. It is not clear what my next mission will be, I am involved in some discussions, but It is not impossible that I may be able to come back and offer my services to the Bishop again. Please pray for me and I will keep you in my prayers.
