Archbishop’s message on Funeral Services; With the recent development of re-opening churches for private prayer, the Archbishop has permitted the celebration of funeral services in the churches which have fulfilled the conditions of re-opening for individual prayers. It will be service , not Mass, but limited to the few members of the family.

Make an Act of Spiritual Communion – This can be done whilst you watch a live stream of Mass by saying the following prayer:
“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.”
