2. SPIRITUAL BOUQUET AT bloggingLOURDES

Message for PPL Flagship and all Captains
The whole of our Bouquet, gathered between October and Epiphany has now been added to the bL one. Everything apart from Fr Mark's Masses, 834 Rosaries and 24 Holy Communions, has been separately recorded by Fr Byers and will be sent to the Holy Father with the main Bouquet results.
He has all your URLS and has published them on the Bouquet page in thanks for our support and 'spreading the word'.

I don't yet know whether we will be able to send future offerings via Fr Byers, please keep sending to me until further notice. I will let you know as soon as possible. In the meantime, UNTIL LATE TODAY YOU CAN STILL REGISTER any Masses, Rosaries or Holy Communions you have accumulated since Epiphany. Repeated clicking of appropriate prayer category is necessary for each item. End message.


Message for everyone who supports Benedict through prayer and/or action.

PAPA HAS BEGGED FOR OUR PRAYERS. THEY ARE ALREADY BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE OFFERED. It will give him untold strength and encouragement if we share this knowledge with him.

Please do everything you can to support these two initiatives.
