Pentecost Novena

Archbishop McMahon has asked parishioners to make a Novena of prayer between Ascension and Pentecost. The intention is to pray for the Eucharistic Congress in Liverpool this Sept and for the Synod 2020. Those sick at home may especially like to pray the novena. 

If you didn't manage to get hold of the Bookmark/prayer card there are still some in the porch.  If you can't get to the church porch the prayer is below

Novena Of Prayer For The Coming Of The Holy Spirit

In Preparation For The Eucharistic Congress and Synod 2020

Come Holy Spirit,

Fill our hearts with wisdom,

Love and courage.

Make us more like Christ

in our words and actions.

Bless the work of your Church.

Renew us all in the desire

to make Christ

known and loved

in the world today.

Bless the work of our parish.

Guide all that we do

so that our church is a place

of mercy and service

for all who are seeking you.

Deepen our love

for the Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

and guide us in prayer and action

as we journey towards Synod 2020

to become the Church

you are calling us to be.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
