The New Digital Diocesan Newsletter Welcome to the October edition of 'The Clarion' the new Digital Diocesan Newsletter. Please click the button below to read the latest issue .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 Old copies of “The Tablet” Some old copies of “The Tablet” will be placed in the porch from time to time – to be taken away and read by anyone who would like to do so.For the hard-of-hearing
