Prayer Books

I hope you are finding helpful the prayer books I sent out to everyone in the parishes Lord I am not Worthy. They are designed to fit into your pocket and into the back of benches in church. There are more copies available as well as some splendid larger versions (A5-size) too: it you would like one, please email: events@portsmouthdiocese.org.uk. (There is a small charge for postage). The title of the book, Lord I am not Worthy, comes from those favourite words of the Mass that we say just before receiving Holy Communion and its aim is to help you keep the Six Holy Habits we speak about, especially during this Year of Prayer to the Holy Spirit. The book contains many well-known Catholic prayers and others too. I hope you will dip into it, like a bee seeking nectar, landing on whatever you find helpful. It gives a format for making a visit to the Blessed Sacrament and an easy, three-step guide on making a good Confession.

Do make sure you get your copy! And say a prayer for the army of volunteers who have helped to deliver it to your church.
