🇻🇦All at Justice & Peace Scotland offer prayers for our Holy Father, Pope Francis. May God grant him health, healing and peace.

We entrust our prayers for the Pope to Mary, to whom he has a great devotion, as in his own words: "Mary gives us hope!"

Our Lady of Lourdes, Health of the Sick, pray for him.

As we celebrate the Jubilee of Deacons, we give thanks for the dedication and service of those who have answered the call to this vital ministry. Deacons play a crucial role in the life of the Church, serving their communities with faith, compassion, and commitment.

Deacon Robert Mackie shares his experience of ministry and the joy he finds in serving his parish communities:

"I find the most fulfilling part of my ministry as a deacon is serving the people of the three parishes I’m appointed to—St John’s, Cumnock; St Thomas, Muirkirk; and Our Lady and St Patrick’s, Auchinleck—in collaboration with my parish priest, Fr Phillip. These are faith-filled parish communities, and I am privileged to support them, not only in the joyful moments of their lives but also in the difficult times. Celebrating the Eucharist together has been a great support in my ministry as a deacon."

Let us pray for the recovery of our Holy Father🙏


Although more fatigued, Pope Francis spends Saturday sitting in an armchair, as blood transfusions were necessary and the prognosis remains guarded.
