PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus
I believe you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul
so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen
YEAR OF ST JOSEPH.
With the Apostolic Letter “Patris corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis recalls the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To mark the occasion, the Holy Father has proclaimed a “Year of Saint Joseph” from 8 December 2020 to 8 December 2021. To celebrate this a special prayer to St Joseph will be recited after each Mass. You are encouraged to join in with the prayer above
Impact of Tier 4 Further Restrictions on Holy Cross ParishClosure of Churches for Public Worship In line with the Scottish Government restrictions Holy Cross Church is no longer open for public worship or private prayer until further notice. Each day of the week Mass is celebrated at 9.30am and is live-streamed on the parish YouTube channel. It can also be watched at any time as each Mass is recorded. All are invited to share this celebration until the parish is able to resume public worship. Funeral Masses can still take place but these are limited to 20 persons and the family of the deceased will be responsible for issuing invitations. Only those invited will be allowed admission.
Please at the moment check News Specials from the First Minister and also the Government Website for Updates as to when restrictions will be eased. it is a very difficult time. if we all adhere to the Restrictions hopefully that will be sooner rather than later.
