Celebrating Ss Peter and Paul

 

I attended Mass in honour of Ss Peter and Paul in the chapel of St Peter's International College in France. The College patrons include His Royal Highness Prince Charles-Philippe of Orléans, and His Excellency Jan Count Dobrzenský z Dobrzenicz K.C.S.G., so I am sat in choir with my St Lazarus hat on (literally!)

A few more photos on the college's Facebook site can be viewed here:

I took some photos of the chapel windows as well.

Summer Language School

St Peter's International College 

is running a language camp for boys and girls 

from 12th - 30th July.

The College is set in the beautiful Village of Saint-Pierre-de-Maillé in the Vienne region of France. Children can choose to study English or French and there will be plenty of lively activities for them to share in and practice their language skills in fun settings, including sports and visits out to local attractions. 

The nearest airport is Poitiers and train lines run even closer - the college will assist in helping you to arrange transport. 

Please share this post if you can.

This Friday and Saturday the Synod will be taking place for the Archdiocese of Liverpool. Because of Covid restrictions, it is taking place on-line - in virtual reality, make of that what you will in quips! Please pray for all those attending, that the Holy Spirit will truly guide us for the good of the Church and the evangelization of those who are yet to be be brought into Her saving fold. My thanks to those of us from the parish who have come along on the journey - our three "representatives" for parish and deanery.

Come, Holy Spirit, come!

And from your celestial home

Shed a ray of light divine!

Come, Father of the poor!

Come, source of all our store!

Come, within our bosoms shine.

You, of comforters the best;

You, the soul’s most welcome guest;

Sweet refreshment here below;

In our labor, rest most sweet;

Grateful coolness in the heat;

Solace in the midst of woe.

O most blessed Light divine,

May that light within us shine

And our inmost being fill!

Where you are not, we have naught,

Nothing good in deed or thought,

Nothing free from taint and ill.

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;

On our dryness pour your dew;

Wash the stains of guilt away:

Bend the stubborn heart and will;

Melt the frozen, warm the chill;

Guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful, who adore

And confess you, evermore

In your sevenfold gift descend;

Give them virtue’s sure reward;

Give them your salvation, Lord;

Give them joys that never end.

Amen. Alleluia.

*****

My Lord Jesus Christ,

who for the love you bear us,

remain night and day in this Sacrament,

full of compassion and of love,

awaiting, calling and welcoming

all who come to visit you.

I believe that you are present

in the Sacrament of the Altar.

I adore you from the abyss of my nothingness

and I thank you for all the graces

you have given me until now,

and in particular,

for having given me your Most Holy Mother Mary

as my advocate

and for having called me

to visit you in this church.

I now salute your Most Loving Heart,

and this for three ends:

first, in thanksgiving for this great gift;

second, to make amends to you for all the outrages

which you receive in this Sacrament

from all your enemies;

third, I intend by this visit to adore you

in all the places on earth

in which you are present in this Sacrament

and in which you are the least revered

and the most abandoned.

My Jesus, I love you with my heart.

I grieve for having until now so many times

offended your infinite goodness.

I purpose by your grace never more to offend you

for the time to come;

and now, miserable and unworthy though I am,

I consecrate myself to you without reserve.

I give you and renounce my entire will,

my affections, my desires, and all that I possess.

From now on, use me

and all that I have as you wish.

All I ask of you and desire is your holy love,

final perseverance

and the perfect accomplishment of your will.

I recommend to you the souls in Purgatory;

but especially those who had the greatest devotion

to the Most Blessed Sacrament

and to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary.

I also recommend to you all poor sinners.

And finally, my dear Saviour,

I unite all my affections with the affections

of your most loving Heart,

and I offer them with you to your Eternal Father

and beg him for your sake

and for love of you,

graciously to accept and grant them.
