MASS: Priests will continue to celebrate their Masses, without a congregation, for all the people of the diocese. Where possible this will be broadcast via parish radio or webcam / streaming. People are asked to consider setting aside a few minutes for prayer at 11 am on Sundays and St Patrick’s Day. Thus we all unite as one in prayer, uniting with all the Masses being celebrated privately. Also many people are deciding to pray the Rosary or a decade at home each evening.
Meanwhile the diocese will seek to consult widely and by Thursday will make decisions regarding the next few weeks.

TIME on your hands; Many are planning using the local nature trails, there are so many details on internet. Others are catching up on jobs which were on the long finger. Most families have old photographs and family memorabilia, now is the time to prepare a family tree and share it. Others have gardens neglected, despite the wet soil, we could be making preparations. The laying of the underground cables have exposed soil on ditches, which are now receptive to wild flower seed.
Many believe that our selfish ways, are a contributory factor in the spread of the disease, the leaders advise us to do as I say and not as I do. All over the world, schools are switching to online learning and home schooling.

Not so politicians and the media. They love playing to the gallery, as they do after every health scare and terrorist incident. Front pages are outrageous. No BBC presenter seems able to avoid the subject. Wash hands to save the nation. The BBC must be sponsored by the soap industry.
False Reports.
SOAP; You’re not just washing viruses down the drain. Soap destroys the coronavirus, a chemistry professor explains.
SALT: There is no evidence that regularly rinsing the nose with salt water (saline) protects you from coronavirus.
There is some limited evidence that regularly rinsing your nose with saline can help people recover more quickly from the common cold. But regularly rinsing the nose has not been shown to prevent respiratory infections.

TO NURSE LEPERS.
Auckland Star, Volume LVII, Issue 146, 22 June 1926
HEROIC NUNS IN SYDNEY. EN ROUTE TO MAKOGAL (From Our Own Correspondent.) SYDNEY, June I8. A tragic little party passed through Sydney this week —ten nuns and three priests—on their way to the islands of the Pacific, several of them to minister to the lepers exiled on Makogai Island, Fiji. From that island they can never return, yet they were happy to be on their way to do what they consider to be their duty. The party came on the liner Ville d’Amiens, and would not refer to their work ahead. Although they know they are going to a living death they refused to be downhearted.
Nearly 400 lepers from Fiji, Polynesia, India and China are segregated on Makogai, and are cared for by the Sisters of the Third Order Regular of Mary, with little native sisters as helpers. Only one-third of the patients are Roman Catholics, but religion does not enter into the work, than which nothing more humanitarian can be imagined.
ROMAN CATHOLIC STATICS.
Timaru Herald, Volume XXII, Issue 1208, 26 May 1875
(London Correspondent of The Scotsman) From the advance sheets of a brochure, about to be published, upon the present material condition of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the world, I take the following interesting statistics concerning this Church in the British Empire and in the United States — that is to say, in England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, British North America, Australia, New Zealand, Malta, British India, British Africa, the British West Indies, and the United States. In these countries there are 192 Roman Catholic archbishops and bishops— 23 of them being archbishops. Not all of these prelates, however, have sees, nine of them being either retired or acting as coadjutors. The whole number of priests, of all ranks below a bishop, is 12,592.
Please remember that all ceremonies held at the Sacred Heart Church are broadcasted on our website: www.institute-christ-king.ie.
