A message from Fr John
Posted on: 16/09/2020
Dear Friends
Good morning
As you know we have celebrated a number of feast in honour of Our Lady recently:
the Assumption; the Queenship of Mary; Our Lady’s Birthday and Our Lady of Sorrows
We recognise the importance of Mary in our prayers; St Ignatius of Loyola in his Colloquy says that she is the one who accompanies us to Jesus and with Mary and Jesus we make our way to the Father.
And so …. One of my classmates has written a short Novena of prayer which I have attached. I think it might help us through this time.
St Joseph, spouse of the Mother of God, pray for us
Every blessing
Fr John
