Night of Prayer
Our Night of Prayer is in progress as I write. It began at 10.00pm with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and prayers of intercession and Consecration to the Sacred Heart. It will conclude in the morning with a Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Mass at 6.00am. It seems somehow appropriate to have it covering the night of the First Friday and morning of the First Saturday.
The idea came from a parishioner who felt that, just as there are people working eight-hour shifts during the night, so we could do an eight-hour shift of prayer.
The intention of this Night of Prayer is "The Needs of our Parish." We might have futher "Nights of Prayer" if people request it. Those who have kept vigil in the church up to now have been delighted to have had the opportunity to pray before the Lord.

May many blessings flow to your parish and all its inhabitants. It seems a wonderful way to build a core community.
It's the best form of prayer many times. We look at God and He looks at us.
Oh great to see you Fr John!
