NEVER CONSIDER AS WASTED THE TIME YOU SPEND IN PRAYER. YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT IN PRAYER GOD COMMUNICATES TO YOU THE LIGHT, STRENGTH AND GRACE YOU NEED…" (SR LUCIA DOS SANTOS)

PRAYER FOR ST COLUMBAN’S INTERCESSION

28FEB

O Blessed Columban,
who in your zeal to follow Christ
left your homeland as a wanderer
and spent your life in suffering and exile,
help and protect, we humbly ask you,
the missionaries of our day
who have devoted their lives
to preaching the Gospel
throughout the world.

Obtain for them, we ask you,
that same wisdom and fortitude
by which you overcame the dangers
which beset your path,
and that firm faith and ardent love
which enabled you to endure gladly
the privations of this life
for the love of Christ.

Assist and protect us, also,
dear Saint Columban,
so to live for God’s glory
that when our pilgrimage
through this life is over,
we may share with you
in the joy of our heavenly home,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

EVERYBODY IS WELCOME TO ATTEND.

GOING TO CONFESSION

To help those of you who have not been to confession for a long time, or those of you who do not have English as your first language, here is a form of words you can use when going to confession.

PRIEST AND PARISHIONER: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
PARISHIONER: Bless me Father for I have sinned. My last confession was
(? time) ago and these are my sins …… For these and all the sins I cannot now remember I am truly sorry.
The PRIEST will now say a few words of encouragement to help you in the Christian life. The PRIEST will also give you a simple PENANCE for you to do afterwards, which may be one of our well known prayers.
The PRIEST will say the words of ABSOLUTION and you will be invited to say your Act of Contrition (prayer of sorrow) as follows:
PARISHIONER: O my God, because you are so good, I am very sorry that I have sinned against you, and by the help of your grace I will not sin again.
The PRIEST will say a few words to end the ceremony and then you respond:
PARISHIONER: Thank you Father.
The PARISHIONER leaves and does their PENANCE.
