THE LIGHT IS ON FOR YOU: Please come to the Sacrament of Reconciliation this Lent – The Church encourages all
Catholics to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation frequently. In addition to our normal Saturday morning
confession time, St. Herbert’s and all the Catholic churches in the Diocese will be open for confessions on Wednesday
evenings in Lent – 29th February 2012 until 4th April 2012, 7 – 8 pm. Please take advantage of this opportunity to make a
good confession before Easter. Please also reach out to the Catholics you know who have been away from the regular
practice of our faith and invite them to seize this chance to begin anew. The diocesan web site:
www.lancasterdiocese.org.uk has resources to help everyone to make a good confession.
THE CREED After the homily, the priest invites us to stand and profess our faith. We do this by saying the Creed.
There are two creeds that can be said at Mass: the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. The Creed tells us simply
what we believe as members of the Church. We stand to show that we are proud to be followers and friends of Jesus.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL During this time, we pray for all our needs, particularly for the Church, the leaders of
our country, those who are sick and in need of God’s healing and those who have died. The Prayer of the Faithful is
normally spoken by the Minister of the Word on our behalf. At the end of each prayer there is a moment of silence and
then the Minister of the Word says: “Lord, hear us” or “We pray to the Lord”, and we answer: “Lord, graciously hear us”
or “Lord, hear our prayer”.
