On Thursday 14 May we celebrate the Ascension of Our Lord and it is an Holy Day of obligation. We have Mass at 10am and 7.30pm.
May is a month of devotion to Our Lady. We pray the Rosary after the 10am Mass every Friday. Why not join us during the month of May and do something special for Our Lady.
During this month of May we renew our trust in the power of Our Blessed Mother’s intercession.
The Memorare is one of the most beautiful prayers to Our Lady and expresses that deep confidence we have in Our Blessed Mother’s care for us.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
Fr Behr
