Welcome to St Wilfrid's!
St Wilfrid's is now closed and all services are suspended until further notice. We encourage you all to pray at this difficult time. Please do stay at home for your own safety. If you need spiritual or emotional support, please contact Fr. Neil on 01243 251644 or email him at: njshaw1@icloud.com
Keep us, good Lord
under the shadow of your mercy.
Sustain and support the anxious, be with those who care for the sick,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may find comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen
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.
