Prayer Novena for the Papal Visit to UK Begins September 15th

The following was shared by Donal Foley:

September 24th is the Feast of Our Lady of Walsingham National Shrine of Our Lady in England, Mary's Dowry.

The Novena period which precedes the Feast begins on Wednesday

15th of September - Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.

As this Novena period surrounds the Papal Visit - (September 16th to 19th) it is suggested that people pray the Novena for the following intentions:

"For God's mighty blessing and protection upon the Papal Visit

and for the Holy Father's intentions".

For overseas readers, perhaps the best way of joining in the Novena is to say the Rosary each day, or at least one decade, for this intention.

For UK readers, a Poster advertising the Novena is available via: antoniavb(at)talktalk(dot)net. 

Perhaps ask in your Parishes that it be displayed and ask for the

Novena intentions to be published in next week's parish newsletters.

Also, the newly printed Novena Booklets are available individually or

in bulk from St. Paul's Bookshop by Westminster Cathedralin

London www.stpauls.org.uk (Tel: 0207 828 5582) or individually

from the Slipper Chapel Bookshop (Tel: 01328 821 794) at the

Roman Catholic National Shrine in Walsingham

For this Novena of Prayer to enfold the Papal Visit in an ocean

of prayer and protection it needs everyone of you to do what you can

to advertise it and forward it on to others. Thank you so much!

May Our Lady of Walsingham pray for us and place her loving and

protective mantle around our beloved Holy Father Pope Benedict

XVI.

Many thanks

Antonia

God Bless our Pope!
