Have you ever noticed the six-winged seraphim who guard the tabernacle of our church? They follow the description of the spirits guarding the throne of God in Isaiah’s vision (Is. 6:2–6). Now is a good time to ask your own guardian angel for help, while it is impossible to attend Mass:

O holy angel at my side, go to the church for me.
Kneel at my place at Holy Mass where I desire to be.
At the offertory in my stead, take all I am and own
and place it as a sacrifice upon the altar throne.
At holy consecration’s bell adore with the seraphs above
my Jesus hidden in the host come down from heaven above.
And pray for those I dearly love and those who cause me grief.
That Jesus’ heart may cleanse all hearts and suffering souls relieve.
And when the priest communion makes, O bring my Lord to me,
that his sweet heart may rest on mine and I his temple be.
Pray that this sacrifice divine may mankind’s sins efface
then bring thy blessing home, the pledge of every grace!

The rededication of England as Mary’s dowry is still taking place across the country today, in a slightly lower key format than originally planned. Join us in the dedication as we say the Prayer for England after Benediction this evening. #oxfordoratory

Observant followers will have noticed that we’re not streaming from the church! Instead we’re in the Guild Room that connects to the Porter’s Lodge (and has WiFi!). The room was originally built as another classroom for the primary school, and then became a meeting room for parish guilds (hence the name). It now serves as a small chapel that can be used for Mass with a small group, and it’s where the Fathers and Brothers meet every evening for ‘Oratory’ — the way of praying that St Philip taught his followers in Rome 500 years ago. #oxfordoratory
