Pope Francis Lenten Message
Prayer Recited by the Pope
I prostrate myself at your feet, O my Jesus, and I offer You the repentance of my contrite heart, which abases itself in its nothingness in Your holy Presence. I adore You in the Sacrament of your Love, the ineffable Eucharist. I desire to receive You in the poor abode that my heart offers You; while waiting for the happiness of Sacramental Communion, I want to possess You in Spirit. Come to me, O my Jesus, that I may come to You. May your Love inflame my whole being in life and in death. I believe in You, I hope in You, I love You. Amen.

His holiness Pope Francis has made the decision not to celebrate the Chrism Mass during Holy Week this year on account of the Covid-19 virus. In solidarity with the Holy Father and along with other Dioceses our own Chrism Mass will therefore be postponed. The Chrism Mass is a very special celebration for us all, especially our priests as they renew their commitment to priestly service. Please keep them very specially in your prayers during the Wednesday of Holy Week.
Anyone wishing to live stream Holy Week from the Vatican can find the timetable of services on the Diocesean website.

Many of us are really missing being at church
Our Diocesan church family includes more than 70 parishes, offering spiritual enrichment and support at every stage of our lives. While many of our priests currently stream Mass online, their parishes are struggling financially. Our churches depend on cash donations for 50% of their income on average, in some cases this reliance can be as high as 90%. At this difficult time, when we are not able to attend Mass in church, you can support your parish by donating your offertory online through this JustGiving Page.
Please follow the guidance below:
1. When making your donation, please leave a message to indicate the name of your church or parish as well as its location. For example: I would like my donation to go to "Our Lady of Lourdes, Rottingdean" or to "St Patrick's Church, Woodingdean". This will ensure your donation is allocated to the correct parish.
2. Gift Aid helps our parishes to thrive. Please Gift Aid your donation, if you are eligible.
3. You will be asked by JustGiving whether you would like to share your details with the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton. Telling us who you are really helps, as it means we can share details of your donation with your parish.
Your details will be kept private and confidential. We comply with data protection regulation and the fundraising regulator code of practice. We will never sell your data to third parties. We will use your details to administer your gifts, occasionally send you news on the work of the Church, and give you the opportunity to support appeals. You can read our full privacy policy: https://www.dabnet.org/ContentDocuments/842.pdf
Thank you for your generosity of heart.
