ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION (Prayer to be said before watching the Holy Mass on streaming) My Jesus, I believe that You are Present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen |

THE REDEDICATION
In 1381, England was dedicated to Mary by King Richard II and was 'set apart for her among the nations. This year, the Christians of England are called to make a personal dedication to Mary, taking up her example as Christ’s first disciple.History shows us that when the people pray a surrender to God’s will for their lives, society is transformed. By taking up this personal dedication in 2020, you can be a part of the renewal of this nation, drawing ourselves closer to the will of our loving God, through Mary.
Our beloved Archbishop John Wilson gives us an invitation to pray all together for England next Sunday 29 March 2020. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxkyWW-lcZE&feature=youtu.be

Prayer for a pandemic
May we who are merely inconvenienced
remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors
remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home
remember those who must choose between preserving their health or paying their rent.
May we who have flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips
remember those that have no safe place to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
remember those who have no margin at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine at home
remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country, let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other,
Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbours. Amen. (Cameron Bellm)

A MESSAGE FROM FATHER GRAZIANO: My dear parishioners I would like to share with you that by Decree of our Archibishop John Wilson, 0f 17 march 2020, I am now officially incardinated in the Archdiocese of Southwark. I hope you are happy to receive this news after so much bad news. Because we don't know when we will be able to celebrate Holy Mass together again, taking the idea from another Italian priest, I invite you to email me a selfie or a photo of your family at grazianodepalma@rcaos.org.uk or sittingborune@rcaos.org.uk. With your permission, I'd like to put your photos on the church benches. This initiative will allow you to feel united with me when I offer Holy Mass and me to feel less alone without you. :-)
