We pray for our Bishop David in his work of shepherding the flock of Christ in this diocese, that he may feel upheld by the prayer of his people as we move towards the Assembly.
DID YOU KNOW: That Church teaching says that we should not only support those in poverty but also tackle the root causes of poverty? Pope Benedict XVI said that “Love — caritas — is an extraordinary force which leads people to opt for courageous and generous engagement in the field of justice and peace.” For decades CAFOD has spoken out against injustice. To find out more and get involved in tackling the root causes of poverty, please go to https://cafod.org.uk/campaign/latest-campaigns
POPE’S PRAYER INTENTION: For Church Movements and Groups. We pray that each day, Church movements and groups may rediscover their mission of evangelisation, placing their own charisms at the service of the world’s needs.
Seeing your Life through the Lens of the Gospel
Jesus showed his wounds to his friends. Moments of grace can occur when another shows us their vulnerable side, or when we do that with them. Let your memories speak of such experiences to you.
ADORATION: Tuesday from 10:15am to 6pm.
