Prayer to St Wilfrid
Heavenly Father,
You gave us St. Wilfrid
to be our patron,
may he inspire in us a
new faithfulness in
witnessing to your
son, Jesus Christ.
We place our trust in you and
may the prayers of St. Wilfrid
come to our assistance.
We praise you Lord, for the
graces we receive from your
hands.
We pray for our parish and our
schools, especially for our
primary school which is under
the patronage of St. Wilfrid.
We pray that we may never
neglect those who need our help
and prayers.
We pray for our families and
friends and all whom we know.
Give comfort and healing to
all who are sick.
Give peace to the dying and
eternal rest to the dead. Amen.
Lamb of God
(to be sung at the 9.30am Mass)
O let the Son of God enfold you,
with his Spirit and his love,
Let him fill your heart and
satisfy your soul.
O let him have the things that
hold you
and his Spirit like a dove,
will descend upon your life and
make you whole.
Refrain: Jesus, O Jesus, come
and fill your lambs. (repeat)
O come and sing this song with
gladness as your hearts are
filled with joy;
lift your hands in sweet
surrender to his name.
O give him all your tears and
sadness,
give him all your years of pain,
and you’ll enter into life in
Jesus’ name.
Refrain: Jesus, O Jesus, come
and fill your lambs. (repeat)

Talk at Worth Abbey
On Monday 20 October at
7.30pm. A talk by Charles
Wookey on the role of the
Bishops and the Dioceses within
the Catholic Church. Charles is
Assistant General Secretary of
the Catholic Bishops' Conference
of England and Wales. The role
of the bishops in the Church has
been a controversial area for
some time, are they leaders and
teachers on the model of the
Apostles or administrators
carrying out orders from the
Vatican? All welcome.
