Invitation to prayer at Holy Communion time for those not receiving Holy Communion
Do This in Memory of Me
During Mass, the priest says the Eucharistic prayer.
The priest asks the Holy Spirit to come down upon the bread and wine.
They then become the gift of the risen Jesus, the bread of life.
We then remember the Last Supper,
At the Last Supper, Jesus said,
‘Take this, all of you, and eat of it, for this is my Body, which will be given up for you’.
Afterwards He said, ‘
Take this, all of you, and drink from it, for this is the chalice of my Blood, the Blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.’
Jesus told his friends to ‘
Do this in memory of me.’
This is why we come together at Mass, to do what Jesus asked us to, in memory of him.
Invitation to prayer at Holy Communion time
“Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart”
For those who won’t or cannot receive Holy Communion during Mass – including babies or young children that have not yet received their first communion and are just coming up with the family (they often turn away before the priest or Eucharistic Minister can even say anything) or non Catholics who may be attending a funeral or wedding mass.
At communion time all are invited to approach the priest or Eucharistic Minister. Those not wishing to or able to receive the Eucharist should cross both hands across their chest.
In response the priest or minister will stretch out their empty hand and say a short prayer:
“May God bless you.” or “Jesus loves you.”
Masses for the Deaf - Signed Masses
As with many other parishes we now stream Masses on-line – but these are very difficult to follow for people with hearing impairment.
The Catholic Deaf Association provide access to information, and empower Deaf people to share and participate fully in the life of the Church.
Watch signed Mass on the CDA Facebook page
Fr. Paul Fletcher SJ signs these Masses. These are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Also SIGNED MASSES WITH DEAF PEOPLE @ 4 p.m. every Saturday: Emmaus Chapel, Deaf Village, Ratoath Road, Cabra West, Dublin 7, D07 V4KP
Mass can be viewed via www.churchservices.tv (enter Emmaus in the Find a Church box).
Volunteers invited

Matthew 9:37–38
Then he said to his disciples
“The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few;
therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.”
“No one can do everything
But everyone can do something”
Thank you to all who volunteer their time to the various areas that help our church and services function, including those who keep the church clean, choir, altar servers, collectors, ushers, readers and Eucharistic ministers.
Our teams have grown a little smaller through the years. Many new people have joined our worshipping community. Could you volunteer to help?
Please contact us if you feel you could make a contribution on a rota basis.

Unseen, unheard, but always near.
Jesus, thank you for destroying death so I may live forever!
