Thy Kingdom Come

You are invited to click on the link below and join in the world-wide novena of prayer of "Thy Kingdom Come" beginning May 21st, Ascension Thursday, and going to Pentecost, May 31st. The theme this year includes "Prayer and Care" as we read on the website

Care for those you are praying for, pray for those you are caring for During these difficult and trying times, we believe that now more than ever, presents an incredible opportunity for the Church worldwide, to unite in prayer so that our family, friends and neighbours will come to know the love and peace of Jesus Christ for themselves. One of our Key themes for Thy Kingdom Come is prayer and care. As we are praying for those we love to come to know the hope and love of Christ we also are encouraging all to see how they can show God’s love towards them. By caring for them.

Thy Kingdom Come commits the Church to share the joy and the beauty of Jesus Christ / Venha o Teu Reino compromete a Igreja a partilhar a alegria e a beleza de Cristo.' Bishop Jorge Pina Cabral - Bishop of the Lusitanian Church in Portugal

To not be together and to not receive Communion is the biggest sacrifice a Catholic can make, and we are being asked to make this sacrifice. We are asked to stay at home and we know that we can pray at home in solidarity with each other. In your prayers, I ask you to please join together in Spiritual Communion each day:

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Our Bishop reminds us of the great quote: remembering that “nothing can separate us from the love of God that comes to us in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:39).”
