A Call to Conversion and Healing.What is Suspended?It is with regret that ROUTINE VISITS TO THE SICK AND HOUSEBOUND are suspended at this time, on the advice of Public Health England. This is to protect not only the sick person, but also the visitor, many of whom themselves fall into an ‘at risk’ category. In the case of grave illness or danger of death, please contact Fr. Michael. If the parishioner is in hospital or a care home, permission must be obtained from the nurse in charge before contacting a priest. Any visits can only be made in an emergency at this time.Coronavirus PrayerLord Jesus Christ, you travelled through towns and villages curing every disease and illness. At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love. Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their health and strength.Heal us from our fear, which prevents neighbours from helping one another.Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.Good Lord, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.May those who have died from the virus rest in peace and rise in glory.Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair.Be with the doctors and nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace.Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with prudence and charity for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve.Stay with us Lord and grant us your peace.
