This Tuesday

The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales have urged the faithful to make the National Day of Reflection on COVID-19 a day of prayer as well as a day of reflection. Bishops are inviting Catholics to pray in front of the Blessed Sacrament on Tuesday 23 March. We have Adoration after every mass during the week. "For all who live by faith in God, reflection and prayer always go hand in hand. Prayer completes reflec-tion. Reflection informs prayer. Prayer opens our life to its true horizon."

Pope Francis released his Message for the 2021 World Day of Prayer for Vocations on March 19th – the Solemnity of St. Joseph – saying that Our Lord’s foster father and the Church’s protector “accomplished something extraordinary in the eyes of God,” by living “an ordinary life.”

The purpose of the day is to celebrate and foster vocations to ordained ministry and religious life. “God looks on the heart,” wrote Pope Francis in his 2021 Message, “and in Saint Joseph he recognized the heart of a father, able to give and generate life in the midst of daily routines. Vocations have this same goal: to beget and renew lives every day.”

Noting the Lord’s desire to shape the hearts of fathers and mothers, “hearts that are open, capable of great initiatives, generous in self-giving, compassionate in comforting anxieties and steadfast in strengthening hopes,” Pope Francis wrote: “The priesthood and the consecrated life greatly need these qualities nowadays, in times marked by fragility but also by the sufferings due to the pandemic, which has spawned uncertainties and fears about the future and the very meaning of life.” (Herald)

This series is highly acclaimed and we shall be able to hear and share with others who enjoyed it.

Catholic Bishops join

with other Church

leaders to oppose

growth in Nuclear

Arms.

“The Government’s decision

in the integrated review of

defence, security and foreign

policy to increase the number

of Trident nuclear warheads

the UK can stockpile by more

than 40 percent is a

retrograde step that will not

make any of us safer.

“Our Trident submarines already carry warheads that in total have an explosive yield equivalent to hundreds of the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima. It is immoral that the UK government is committing resources, which could be spent on the common good of our society, to stockpiling even more. ”https://www.cbcew.org.uk/

donations of food items to be

passed on to struggling families and
