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

The atmosphere has been terrific during this Second Assembly. Last year we were strangers and initially unsure of the process and so it took a bit of time for us to settle in, although we did do so. This year has been completely different. The bonds of friendship and trust were immediately renewed. We picked up where we left off and it has been wonderful sharing with people from almost every country in the world. We are very aware of the privilege and responsibility we have as Synodal delegates. There is a determination to do our best. There is a genuine openness to the Spirit. The experience fills us with hope for the future of the Church.

Dunkeld Diocese held their annual Mission Day in Our Lady of Victories Dundee on Saturday 19th October. The annual event coincides with Mission Sunday and involves people across the diocese coming together to discuss a topic related to the areas of mission, justice and peace, or caritas and to consider how they can respond.

The theme for this year was "Persecuted Christians" and attendees were joined on the day by their new bishop, Bishop Andrew McKenzie, and Canon Kevin Golden, Fr Mike Freyne and Fr Tobias Okoro. Two of our Diocesan Commissioners at Justice & Peace Scotland, Sue and Nick, were involved on the day, too.

If you have a good news story about any justice and peace related work happening in your parish, school or diocese, we want to hear about it!
Drop us a message at Office@justiceandpeacescotland.org.uk and we will share your stories to help inspire others.

Our 5th module began today with a Day of Recollection. We started with Mass of the Holy Spirit in St Peter’s Basilica, under the beautiful stain glass window of the Holy Spirit. I always find this an inspiring image, especially when we are seeking the Spirit’s guidance. After a meditation delivered by Fr Timothy Radcliffe we were given the draft Final Report to read in silence. I headed off to the Vatican Gardens which was a beautiful setting for pondering the text in silence. The afternoon consisted of Conversation in the Spirit within our Small Group. Tomorrow we begin discussing the text and proposing changes.
