‘What can we say the kingdom of God is like? What parable can we find for it?

Dear All,
As the situation keeps – hopefully – improving the bishops have today issued some updated guidance on the celebration of the liturgy, taking us back towards normal practice.
Please remember that the virus is primarily spread by air droplets and so it is important to ventilate the church. Open doors and windows when the church is in use in so far as you can.
Please keep observing the taking track & trace lists, the use of face coverings and hand sanitiser, social distancing, etc.
Liturgy
Level 2 or below (the whole Archdiocese just now):
-
Subject to social distancing and hand hygiene, altar servers and sacristans can resume their usual tasks, if it is safe to do so.
-
The Gloria, Creed, and Second Reading may resume (making sure that there is still enough time between Masses to clean the church)
-
The offertory procession may restart (those carrying the gifts should sanitise their hands, and the vessels must be closed)
-
At Holy Communion, the dialogue “Body of Christ”, “Amen” may resume if it has not already done so.
-
Holy Communion should still be distributed in the hand, but the priest may also distribute Communion on the tongue after Mass, with the priest sanitising his hands between each communicant.
-
Incense may now be used, but try to avoid excessive smoke.
Level 1
Where congregational singing is permitted, the bishops suggest either using disposable hymn sheets or giving each family a hymn book to take away and bring back for their own personal use. If you are using sheets please ensure compliance with copyright law.
It is hoped that social distancing may drop to 1m before too long, but this has not yet happened and until it does we still need to keep to 2m between household groups in church.
If any area goes back up to Level 3 or 4 the previous liturgical guidance should be followed and the above steps omitted.
Marriage
From today, the bride may be accompanied down the aisle by a person who is not in the same household without having to socially distance from that person. The groom too may be accompanied by someone who is not in the same household. The bride and groom do not need to wear face coverings; the people accompanying them are still to wear them.
Ask your MP to sign a Parliamentary motion to stop ‘DIY’ abortion:
Carla Lockhart MP has launched a parliamentary motion calling on the Government to end ‘DIY’ home abortion. If ‘DIY’ home abortions become permanent, this will be a very big change to abortion provision that will likely lead to the loss of many more lives - and it is likely that this will have a strong negative impact on the physical and emotional health of women.
Right To Life UK has launched an easy-to-use tool which makes it simple for you to send an email to your MP asking them to sign the motion. Please click the link below to contact your MP now. It only takes 30 seconds! www.righttolife.org.uk/DIYmotion

Prayer
O Mary,
You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the foot of the cross,
were united with Jesus’ suffering, and persevered in your faith.
“Protectress of the Roman people”, you know our needs, and we know that you will provide, so that, as at Cana in Galilee, joy and celebration may return
after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father
and to do what Jesus tells us. For he took upon himself our suffering,
and burdened himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the cross,
to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.
We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God;
Do not despise our petitions in our necessities,
but deliver us always from every danger,
O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.
Also available on the Vatican website.
Prayer to St. Roch
O God, who promised Saint Roch by an angel,
That all who have recourse to him should
Have nothing to fear from illness and disease.
Grant, we beseech you, that through his
Intercession, we may be delivered from all dangers of soul
And body. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen
(Cf. St. Roch’s Prayer book) To be prayed at all parish Masses
Our Father … Hail Mary… Glory be…
Prayer to St. Michael he Archangel
St. Michael Archangel defend us in the day of battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
