In Memory of Josephine Gillan

Dear Lord,

The loss of our beloved Josephine Gillan is a weight and burden to us all.

Be our refuge and our strength to lift us from the darkness of grief to the peace and light of your presence.

Give us rest for ourselves and bring Josephine Gillan into your presence forever.

May we all be united one day in the love of your divine heart.

Amen

May eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and may perpetual light shine upon her.

May she rest in peace.

SOME TIPS TO CELEBRATE MASS AT HOME:

– get dressed as though you were going to church

– set up a Sacred Space with Holy Images and Cross or Crucifix and a Candle

– sing and pray along with the Priest by standing, sitting and kneeling when appropriate

– at the time of Concentration, make a spiritual act of Communion

Spiritual Act of Communion

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.
