The Divine Mercy Image:

• This will be blessed at the 10:00am Sunday Mass in OLW.
• Please ask a Priest to bless your own after any Sunday Mass.

Devotion to the Divine Mercy Jesus is based on the
writings of St Faustina and focuses on the grace poured forth in
Christ’s passion, death and resurrection and thus “the faithful
should be taught to understand this devotion” in order to obtain
the associated grace. Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy, 154

The miniature St Joseph’s Cincture
sacramental will be celebrated
during Mass on Wednesday, 1st May:
The Memorial of St Joseph the Worker

The Cincture of St Joseph dates to 1657
when a nun in Antwerp named Sister
Elizabeth received a miraculous healing
after beginning to wear a rope in honour
of St Joseph. The St Joseph’s Cincture is
akin to the one worn by a Priest at Mass,
by monks and nuns plus Consecrated Virgins as a sign of their call
to chastity. In AD 1859 the devotion was officially recognised by
the Church and Pope Pius IX enriched it with indulgences. There
are five elementary graces attached to this wonderful devotion:
1: St Joseph’s protection. 2: Purity of soul.
3: The grace of chastity. 4: Final perseverance.
5: Assistance at the hour of death.

The large St Joseph’s Cincture is worn on one’s body whereas the
miniature version is carried in a pocket or placed before a statue
of the saint at home. Those who undertake this pious act are to
daily offer one Gloria Patri (“Glory be…”) on each of the seven
knots of the cincture while pondering the “Seven Sorrows and
Seven Joys” (more details to follow in future newsletters).

We have commissioned 25 miniature St Joseph’s Cinctures and
so we ask for a £4.50 donation to cover costs. You can reserve
your miniature St Joseph’s Cincture by contacting Maggie at the
Parish Office. Payment for the cincture can be made after Mass
on 1st May (when they will be blessed using the official formula).

With the assurance of our prayers this Eastertide,
Fr Christopher, Fr Prasad & Fr Wayne
