Divine Mercy & 40 Hours Devotion . . .


We have just completed our Divine Mercy Devotions in the parish with a very good attendance. It's very encouraging to see so many people praising Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

It was wonderful to hear people praying with fervour and trust in the Divine Mercy.  I'm sure there will be many graces for those who participated and for our parish. 

I was kept busy the whole time hearing Confessions - Thanks be to God.  In fact I had to schedule  a brief interlude out of the Confessional to confer Benediction.  I have a feeling that if we didn't have an evening Mass to prepare for, I would have been hearing Confessions for even longer.  

Jesus, we trust in you.

And, didn't you sing and pray beautifully!

It's time to think ahead a little now to our 40 Hours Devotion which will take place from Tuesday 19th May to Thursday 21st May. All are welcome of course.  

Do come and spend a little time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament exposed on the altar if you can.  Be it just a few minutes or a few hours, I assure you it will be a grace-filled experience.


To whet your appetite here are a few photos from last year's 40 Hours Devotion . . .

Divine Mercy Sunday



Divine Mercy is this Sunday

Our Blessed Lord appeared to Sr Faustina and revealed to her His Divine Mercy for the world. The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale rays represent Water which makes the soul righteous. The red rays represent Blood which is the life of souls. "These two rays issued forth from My Tender Mercy when My Agonised Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross."

This Sunday we will have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, veneration of the image of Divine Mercy, recitation of the Chaplet and an opportunity for Confession and we will conclude with Benediction.
