Some Definite Service: Prayer

29/5/2021

 
Archbishop John is calling us to be an ‘evangelising and missionary archdiocese.’ None of this will be possible without prayer. As we pray for our Church, we also pray that we may be renewed ourselves. Let us pray that we may know more deeply the love of God for us and the hope he gives, so that others may also encounter him. Are you interested in joining our prayer partners praying for the mission of the archdiocese? Email [email protected].

SATURDAY 5TH JUNE – FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION

29/5/2021

The History of the Five First Saturday’s of the Month
On the 13th May 1917, Our Lady first mentioned devotion to her Immaculate Heart to the children of Fatima saying “You have seen hell, where souls of poor sinners go. To save them God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.”
On the 10th December 1925, Our Lady appeared to Lucia detailing how devotion to her Immaculate Heart was to be practiced.
These words are from Sr Lucia’s own account:
“... by her side, elevated on a luminous cloud, was a child. The most holy Virgin rested her hand on her shoulder, and as she did so, she showed her a heart encircled by thorns, which she was holding in her other hand. At the same time, the Child said:
“Have compassion on the Heart of your most holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them.”

Then the most holy Virgin said:
“Look, my daughter, at my Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce me every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least try to console me and say that I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me.”
On Saturday 5th June the first Saturday devotions will be celebrated:
  • 9am Adoration & First Saturday Devotions
  • 10am Holy Mass
  • Confessions will be available

NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA

29/5/2021

The novena to St. Anthony of Padua begins on Saturday 5th June.
Though St. Anthony first joined the Augustinian Order, he eventually left it when he was 26 years old and joined the Franciscan Order around 1220 in the hopes of becoming a martyr for his faith. Through his work in Padua in Italy, he became a loved and admired Saint in the Catholic Church, sharing the faith through simplicity — which led to him becoming a Doctor of the Church. St. Anthony’s Feast Day is traditionally celebrated on June 13th, but you can pray a novena to him any time. He is often invoked for helping to recover lost items, among other intentions.
Here are a couple of links to novenas to St. Anthony of Padua:
