novena to the sacred heart
Novena overview
The parish of the Sacred Heart in Wimbledon has for over a century been a place of welcome and service. During this Novena of the Sacred Heart, I invite us all in thanking the Lord for the many graces he has given to us.
This Novena is designed to be prayed in your homes, in the morning, before or after the evening meal, or at bedtime, whatever is natural within your home. On each day a different aspect of service within the parish is highlighted. Please pray for these activities and all the people doing them and also for those they serve.
Please go to the website daily for a more detailed appreciation of the varied works within the parish.
The last day of the Novena will be Saturday 2 July 2011. On that day we will pray for the whole parish. On Sunday 3 July we will celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart at all the masses. However, we will have a special mass at 11:30 am to celebrate the feast and the parish. Our Archbishop, Peter Smith, will preside.
My hope is that through these nine days of prayer our community we be renewed and refreshed. I hope it gives us all a sense of gratitude of the myriad ways the Holy Spirit is alive and active within us. That sense of gratitude is constantly brought home to me. Let us all celebrate it in these nine days.
