HeartStone news 29th November ADVENT 1
ς∠
The government’s permission for churches to gather again for worship is conditional on ensuring safety with our strict protections and procedures. So all priests and people must stick to the guidelines of 5th Nov.
Also, the Bishops’ Conference have engaged the officials in the government with a call for evidence when they seek to restrict the rights of religious practice in our country, and together the State and the Church have embarked on the Faith Engagement Review:
“May your love be upon us O Lord, as we place all our hope in you”

- Magnificat
- My soul glorifies the Lord.
- My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
He looks on his servant in my lowliness; - Henceforth all ages will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me, Holy his name! - His mercy is from age to age, on those who revere him.
God puts forth his arm in strength and scatters the proud-hearted.
He casts the mighty from their thrones and raises the lowly. - God fills the starving with good things, sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel his servant, remembering his mercy,
the mercy promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and his offspring for ever. - Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. - Amen.
