St William's Resources for Palm Sunday

Two actions are suggested today as ways to express both our faith and our unity.

1. Today let's put a green branch on our front door. See here.

2. Each Sunday evening place a 'Light of Hope' in our window. 'I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life.] John 8:12 More in the bulletin.

Spiritual Communion using the prayer of St Alphonsus de Ligouri:

My Jesus, I believe in your presence in the Blessed Sacrament,

I love you above all things,

and I desire to have you in my soul.

Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally,

come, at least, spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as having already come

and I unite myself entirely to you.

Never let me be separated from you. Amen
