MYTON HOSPICE – Volunteers urgently needed for the Myton Hospice Shop on Trinity Street in Earlsdon. This is our local shop and if you
are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact the presbytery for an application form and role description details. Many families
have benefitted from the great work of Myton Hospice.
Make an Act of Spiritual Communion This can be done whilst you watch a live stream of Mass being offered by saying the following prayer: “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.” Sacrament of Reconciliation The Bishops have asked that all should make a Perfect Act of Contrition. Perfect contrition (or a Contrition of Charity) is true and real sorrow for our sins which is created when we realise the immense love of God for each one of us. We express this contrition when we realise how we offend God by our sinful words, deeds and omissions in contrast to the immeasurable love and mercy that He continually shows us. This requires us to be contrite of heart for what we have done, know and be overwhelmed by the love and mercy of God for His children, and to approach this grace with humility and resolution not to sin again. An Act of Contrition My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Saviour Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy.

These mass times have been agreed by the Deanery as we begin to open up churches for public
worship in accordance with Government and Church Guidelines.
You are encouraged to make use of webcam masses if this is still the best option for you. To consider
the masses during the week as there is no Sunday obligation and these masses are likely to be less
crowded. Perhaps, only think of coming to mass on Sunday if there is no other option.
The parishes will review mass times and frequency of masses over the next couple of weeks when we
have a chance to judge the numbers required moving forward.
Thanks for your co-operation. We are pleased that we can begin to come to church, but our safety
and the safety of others is still paramount and we hope that Priests, individuals and parish
communities do not feel under pressure to open churches in a way that puts people at risk.
