POPE FRANCIS: REQUIESCAT IN PACE.

The Requiem Mass for Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square. concludes with the Ultima commendatio and the Valedictio, marking the beginning of the Novem diales, or nine days of mourning and Masses for the repose of Pope Francis’ soul.

The novem diales refers to a period of nine days of mourning following the death of the Supreme Pontiff. On the last day of the holy novena, all the cardinals then begin the conclave, where they will elect the next pope. Until then the Holy See is vacant: Apostolica sedes vacans. Represented by the closed umbraculum, instead of the Papal coat of arms. The umbraculum is the symbol of apostolic authority, from when one was carried over the Pope (or the bishop).

We will take our own small part in the novem diales by offering as a Requiem, teh daily Masses this coming week.

There is a pastoral letter from Archbishop Malcolm this Sunday encouraging everyone to write to their MP about the Assisted Suicide Bill in Parliament. There will be postcards available in church to assist you in doing so. A very suitable Lenten act to add to your prayer, fasting and almsgiving!

MOTHERING SUNDAY: While we honor our mothers on this day, we recall that the Church is also our Mother.  We also honour Our Blessed Lady as Mother of the Church and the mother of each one of us, committed to her by Our Lord from the Cross. Fittingly, children are invited to bring flowers TODAY at the 5pm Mass & the 10.30am Mass, and join Fr Simon in the procession at the start of Mass to present flowers before the statue of Our Lady. 

Children, please come to the sacristy before Mass.
