A quick recap of the Mass intentions during the week. Mass on Thursday was said for the intentions of J. H. and may be be blessed. Mass was said on Tuesday for our deceased Parishioners, on Wednesday for the Holy Souls, and on Friday for the deceased members of the Lloyd and Murphy families; may they be granted eternal rest in the embrace of the Holy One. Mass was said this today for all our Parishioners, which is at least a weekly event.
To all our sick, be well. I know some of you, but not all of you. To all of our dying, my good wishes and please pray for all the rest of us from your crosses, for we shall gain much from your prayers. You are all part of the daily prayer routine here at the parish church. This is the tail end of the great prayer of thanksgiving of the Church that I recite at least once a week on Sundays:
"...we therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants,
whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints, in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine heritage.
Govern them and lift them up for ever.
Day by day we magnify Thee;
And we worship Thy Name ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let Thy mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in Thee.
O Lord, in Thee have I trusted;
let me never be confounded."
