It’s quite long, just under 50 minutes, but then a lot of our folk do have more time on their hands these days!
Prayer
Pope Francis offered the following prayer for Catholics wishing to make a spiritual communion:
At your feet, O my Lord Jesus I prostrate myself and offer you repentance of my contrite heart,
which is humbled in its nothingness and in your holy presence.
I adore you in the sacrament of your love.
I desire to receive you into the poor dwelling that my heart offers you.
While waiting for the happiness of sacramental communion, I wish to possess you in spirit.
Come to me, O my Jesus, since I for my part, am coming to you.
May your love embrace my whole being in life and death.
I believe in you, I hope in you, I love you. Amen

Stations of the Cross
In these difficult times it is often helpful to turn to time-honoured practices of prayer in the Catholic tradition. Our Vicar General, Monsignor Matthew Dickens, wrote these meditations in 2009 and they were subsequently published by the Carmelite Press in 2012. Monsignor Dickens has kindly offered them as a source of comfort and reassurance in the weeks and months ahead. Download here
