Praying the Mass with Archbishop John:
Advent is a time people return to Mass, sometimes after many years – for others Mass is the cornerstone of their spiritual lives. To help people, wherever they are on their spiritual journey, connect more prayerfully with the Lord Jesus, Archbishop John has recorded a message (tinyurl.com/prayingthemass) which guides us on how to pray through the Mass. Archbishop John said: ‘the Eucharist is at the very heart of the Mass, but also the Church. It is an invitation from the Lord Jesus to participate in His sacrifice’.
Southwark Archdiocese Rosary Prayer Project
Everyone is warmly invited to join this Archdiocese-wide prayer initiative, praying a decade of the Rosary each day for priests and parishes in their deanery.
For details see the poster on the noticeboard, pick up an invitation leaflet at the back of church or email southwarkrenewal@gmail.com.
Assisted Suicide
With only two weeks remaining until the parliamentary debate and vote, the Bishops urge Catholics and all who share our belief in the sanctity and value of every human life to contact their local MP, expressing their opposition and requesting that they either oppose or abstain from supporting the Bill.
Some of Archbishop John’s statements and his pastoral message on Assisted Suicide may be found here: https://www.cbcew.org.uk/archbishop-wilson-assisted-suicide-letter/
