Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Daniel Mullins, Bishop Emeritus of Menevia (in Wales). A relative of mine knew him and always spoke highly of him. I was surprised to learn that he was born in Kilfinane, Co. Limerick, because during his episcopacy he was the only Welsh Catholic bishop who could speak the language, so I always assumed he was Welsh-born. He was 91. What changes he must have seen, in one long lifetime...

Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Monsignor Ambrose Macaulay, historian of the Diocese of Down and Connor, former Chaplain to Queen's University Belfast, and PP of St Brigid's Church, Belfast, for most of the Troubles. He ran the race, he fought the good fight, he kept the Faith.

Your prayers are requested for all those affected, and yet to be affected, by the coronavirus epidemic. I would particularly commend to your prayers the Chinese people, who have so many evils to put up with already, including a president who has had several ministers of religion jailed for pointing out that he is not God.

During this present epidemic, I suggest prayer for our Holy Father, Pope Francis. He is an 83-year-old man with one lung, he already has a cold, and he has great burdens to bear.

Please pray for Boris Johnson, who is now in intensive care. People in ICU with Covid-19 have a 48% death rate, so he needs all the prayers he can get.

Whatever we may think of Boris Johnson, he is the elected leader of a great nation who has fallen ill while doing his duty, and much depends on him. Prayers also for all those infected.

Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Fr Liam Forde SM (Society of Mary - the Marists) formerly a teacher at the Catholic University School. He was one of the elderly retired priests who used to say EF Mass and hear Confession at St Kevin's, and before that at other indult locations. He was active into his nineties. Pray for the repose of this good and faithful servant.

Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of John Hume, who died today. His efforts in bringing peace to our country will never be forgotten. Perhaps he could be a candidate for canonisation in a few decades time... Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Very sorry to hear of the death of the former FG politician, Tom O'Donnell, who was very much a man of conviction.
