We pray for the repose of the soul of Anne O’Neill, whose funeral will be on the 3rd July at the

graveside. Mr O’Neill asks that instead of flowers donations are to go the The Passage, who do

great work for the homeless:. See website: https://passage.org.uk

We pray for those who are ill at this unique time, and those who care for the sick. We pray for Karen Thompson, Joan Stevenson and Alexandria Namukasa, Fr. Henry’s mother.

Opening of the Church

We are able the open the church but there are strict guidelines. If the Church is to open more often in the day, there has to be a team of stewards for this to happen. Two stewards need to cover every hour. The duties are well outlined by the diocese and not complex.

The risk assessment guidelines given in this post give a clear idea of what is needed to be done. For the opening of the church next week there are two changes : Two hours in the morning, Monday – Friday: Next Sunday the Church will be open on Sunday afternoon for an extra hour, 3.30pm – 5.30pm. Today and next week after the 10.30am Mass the Church will be open for the times indicated but there will not be exposition.

For this week the Church will be open in the times given below.

Monday –Thursday 10.30am - 12.30am 5.00pm – 6.00pm

Friday 11.00am – 1.00pm, 5.00pm – 6.00pm

Saturday 11.00am – 1.00pm, 4.00pm – 5.00pm.

,Sunday 8.30am – 9.30am, 11.30am -12.30pm , 4.00pm – 5.00pm this week, 3.30pm -5.30pm (next week)

Friday evening devotions Friday 8.00pm - 9.00pm: Exposition, Stations of the Cross, Seven sorrows rosary devotions remain.

Promotion of watching Mass and services: www.churchservices.tv/dartford

We ask that people watch the Masses on the CCTV and make a spiritual communion on Sunday, and indeed also during the week. There are so many services during the week.

Many thanks to those who are making contributions to the parish at this time.

Monday

Miraculous Invocation to St. Therese

O Glorious St. Therese, whom Almighty God has raised up to aid and inspire the

human family, I implore your Miraculous Intercession. You are so powerful in

obtaining every need of body and spirit from the Heart of God. Holy Mother

Church proclaims you “Prodigy of Miracles… the greatest saint of Modern

Times.” Now I fervently beseech you to answer my petition (mention here) and

to carry out your promises of spending heaven doing good on earth… of letting

fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses. Little Flower, give me your childlike faith,

to see the Face of God in the people and experiences of my life, and to love

God with full confidence. St. Therese, my Carmelite Sister, I will fulfill your plea

“to be made known everywhere” and I will continue to lead others to Jesus

through you. Amen.

Tuesday

Unfailing Prayer to St. Anthony

Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints

St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for his creatures,

made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles

waited on your word, which you were ready to speak for those in trouble or

anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I ask you to obtain for me the favors that I

seek (mention your request here).

The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so, you are the Saint of

Miracles.

O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was full of sympathy, whisper my

petition into the ears of the Infant Jesus, who loved to be held in your arms; and

the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen

Wednesday

St. Joseph

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I

place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful

intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus

Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my

thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not

approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me

and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing

souls - Pray for me

Thursday

Prayer for the Intercession of St. Padre Pio

Dear God, You generously blessed Your servant,St. Pio of Pietrelcina,

with the gifts of the Spirit. You marked his body with the five wounds

of Christ Crucified, as a powerful witness to the saving Passion and Death of Your

Son. Endowed with the gift of discernment,

St. Pio labored endlessly in the confessional for the salvation of souls.

With reverence and intense devotion in the celebration of Mass,

he invited countless men and women to a greater union with Jesus Christ

in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

Through the intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina,I confidently beseech You to grant

me the grace of (here state your petition). Amen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,is

now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen (Say Glory be ...three times)

Friday:

O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you,

and with lively sorrow for my sins I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me

humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will. Grant, Good Jesus, that I

may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of danger. Comfort me in my

afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, your

blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen.

Saturday: Our Lady: The rosary

Sunday: Rosary before mass in May

O my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me forget myself entirely so to establish myself in you, unmovable and peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity. May nothing be able to trouble my peace or make me leave you, O my unchanging God, but may each minute bring me more deeply into your mystery! Grant my soul peace. Make it your heaven, your beloved dwelling and the place of your rest. May I never abandon you there, but may I be there, whole and entire, completely vigilant in my faith, entirely adoring, and wholly given over to your creative action. Amen
