The Bishops' Conference of Scotland

The Roman Catholic Bishops in Scotland work together to undertake nationwide initiatives through their Commissions and Agencies.

The members of the Bishops' Conference are the Bishops of the eight Scottish Dioceses. Where appropriate the Bishops Emeriti (retired) provide a much welcomed contribution to the work of the conference. The Bishops' Conference of Scotland is a permanently constituted assembly which meets regularly throughout the year to address relevant business matters.

The Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. 

To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever.

Amen

In message, pope thanks Italian movement for supporting culture of life
“A just society,” he said, “is not built by eliminating the unwanted unborn, the elderly who are no longer autonomous or the incurably ill.”
“The unborn child represents, par excellence, every man and woman who does not count and has no voice,” Pope Francis wrote. “Taking their side means being in solidarity with all the discarded of the world.”

I spent a very enjoyable day reflecting on the Holy Year with the school communities of St Andrew’s, Rothesay and then St Mun’s, Dunoon. I look forward to being with St Columba’s, Oban this Friday. If we want our youth to trust that Jesus is our Hope then let us encourage them not just by our words but by how we live our lives.
