The Ascension of the Lord/Year B
In the mass bulletin this week we are reminded of our
need to accept changes in order to give us a sense of purpose and provide direction in our day to day living. This year, Pope Francis is urging us to pray the Rosary through the month of May. The movement has the involvement of 30 Marian Shrines from across the world.
"The initiative will involve all the shrines of the world in a special way, so that they might encourage the faithful, families, and communities to recite the Rosary to pray for an end to the pandemic."
COVID-19 Prayer - Philippines and India
Heavenly Father,
You are the loving God of all the nations and peoples on this earth.
Please look with mercy and compassion on all you have created.
Deliver us we pray from the coronavirus and limit its impact on our global world.
We pray especially at this time for the nations of the Philippines and India.
In your mercy bring a swift end to this crisis. Heal and comfort those who are sick and suffering. Protect and guide the health professionals who are at the front line.
We ask that wisdom and courage be given to those who bear responsibility for confronting this challenge.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Catholic Schools' Week Celebrations
Next week is dedicated to Catholic Schools in Australia.
“Catholic schools have educated a significant proportion of the nation’s young people, offering a distinctive vision and values, complementing the state systems, and enabling choice and diversity in education.” - an excerpt from the Pastoral letter from Australian Bishops to leaders, staff, students and families of Catholic Education.
