Shrine Prayers (Intercessions) and Mass

Monday, January 18, 2021

Almighty Father, who didst inspired Simon Peter, first among the apostles, to confess Jesus as Messiah and Son of the living God: Keep thy Church steadfast upon the rock of this faith, so that in unity and peace we may proclaim the one truth and follow the one Lord, our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

12:00 p.m. | The Lady Chapel

The Chantry Chapel Reredos at Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue

Daily Shrine Prayers and Mass will be available via audio livestream.

On Mondays through Saturdays at 12pm we offer prayers and intercessions at the shrine of Our Lady of Fifth Avenue. These prayers precede the Eucharist and include the traditional recitation of the Angelus, prayers from the diocesan and Anglican cycle, and intercessions.

Intercessions can be left online (using the link below) or in the church itself. You can also have names added to the prayer list by purchasing a digital candle. Finally, we invite those of you who listen to this service online to make an act of spiritual communion, the text of which you can access below along with shrine prayer and candle lighting requests.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things,
and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
