PRAYERS OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
When we are unable to receive Holy Communion sacra-mentally, we can receive great graces and blessings by ex-pressing our desire to do so in what is called a “spiritual Communion.”
This practice goes back many centuries and has a rich tradi-tion. There are different models for doing this, but they all have these steps in common:
Make an act of faith: Jesus, I believe that You are really pre-sent in the Holy Eucharist. . .
Make an act of love: Jesus, I love You because You are all-good and deserving of my love. . .
Make an act of desire: I want to receive You in Holy Com-munion, the Gift You have chosen above all others to share Yourself and Your life with me. . .
Invite Jesus to come into your heart: Please come into my heart, my life and everything I do. . .

PRIÈRE D’OUVERTURE
Dans ton amour infini, Dieu notre Père, tu as relevé ton
Fils de la mort et tu nous assures que nous aussi nous res-
susciterons pour vivre avec lui. Par l’écoute et
l’accueil de cette heureuse nouvelle, ouvre
notre cœur pour que nous entrions, comme les
premiers témoins de la résurrection, dans la
foi pascale. Par Jésus, le Ressuscité, vivant
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen.

LE DIMANCHE DE LA RÉSURRECTION DU SEIGNEUR
ENSEMBLE, GRANDIR AVEC LE RESSUSCITÉ TÉMOIS DU RESSUSCITÉ!
La résurrection du Christ projette un éclairage unique sur l’existence humaine et sur le monde. Voir dans le tom-beau vide l’annonce d’une vie nouvelle, c’est découvrir dans les réalités ordinaires et souvent difficiles de l’exis-tence les traces d’un relèvement.

L'Archevêque Miller vient d'an-noncer que toutes les messes publiques sont annulées à partir du 21 mars.
Pour plus d'information allez au rcav.org/coronavirus. Que Dieu vous garde!
(Excerpt from Archbishop J. Michael Miller’s Message last March 20, 2020
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
After further prayerful consideration; and after no small amount of sadness; and after hearing from senior pastors and others about the need for a single directive for the entire Archdiocese; and in keeping with the regulations of the other Dioceses of British Columbia; I direct that all Masses, whether Sunday or weekday, beginning on Saturday, March 21, are to be offered without a public congregation, until further notice. This likewise applies to other parish activities and celebrations, such as Stations of the Cross, and so on.
Consequently, all the faithful are dispensed, for the time being, from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass.
As this situation continues to evolve rapidly, we encourage you to sign up for email updates at rcav.org/coronavirus. For parish-related updates, please visit our parish website ourladyoffatima.ca or join us on Facebook at Our Lady of Fatima—Notre Dame de Fatima Coquitlam.
QUETES
Pour ceux et celles qui n’ont pas pris le service de dons pré autorisés et, qu’à cause de cette pandémie, ne peuvent assister à la messe à l’église, vous pouvez vous inscrire à donner à travers des dons pré autorisés en allant au le
site de l’archevêché : rcav.org/coronavirus. Cliquer “Sunday Offering” et choisissez de donner réguliè-rement ou qu’une fois. Ce lien est fiable et vos contri-butions seront incluses dans votre reçu d’impôt de votre paroisse. Merci de votre soutien durant ce temps si diffi-cile. Vous pouvez aussi laisser vos dons dans l’ouverture pour la poste à la porte du presbytère.
INTENTIONS
Si vous voulez une messe dite pour certaines intentions, envoyez un courriel au [email protected] ou laissez votre demande dans l’ouverture pour la poste à la porte du presbytère. Le coût est d’au moins 10,00$ Les messes sont dites en privé tous les jours.
PARTAGE CARÊME
Cette quête a été remise à plus tard à cause de la pandé-mie.
COMMUNION SPIRITUELLE
Puisqu’il est impossible d’assister à la messe durant cette pandémie, on vous conseille fortement d’assister aux messes diffusées de plusieurs paroisses et de la télévision. Voici une prière à dire lors de la communion qu’on ne peut recevoir.
« Mon Jésus, Je crois que vous êtes ici présent dans le
Saint Sacrement. Je vous aime par-dessus toutes choses
et je désire ardemment vous recevoir. Mais puisqu’en ce
moment, je ne peux le faire sacramentellement, venez au
moins spirituellement dans mon cœur. Comme si vous y
étiez déjà présent, je vous adore et je m’unis entièrement à
vous: ne permettez pas que je me sépare jamais de vous. »
MESSE EN DIFFUSION DIRECTE
La communauté francophone de Facebook a pu assister à la messe de 9h, le dimanche, grâce au Père Claude et diffusée à travers le groupe Our Lady of Fatima/Notre Dame de Fatima https://www.facebook.com/groups/459203820281/ Nous vous y invitons!
