The Ascension of the Lord

Cycle A – 4th to 10th May 2008

Communications Sunday Prayer

O God, whose word is truth
and in whose light we see light,
guide those who tell the story of our times
through word and image.
Make them seekers after truth
and advocates of human dignity.
Grant discernment to all who rely on their labours,
and, as we confront the pain and promise of this world,
awaken in us a sense of wonder at your presence
and of longing for your peace.

UPDATING THE CATHEDRAL’S RECORDS

Family life seems to have change automatically built into it. To keep up to date with the details of all St Marie’s parishioners, we would like you to help by completing one of the blue forms you will receive with your newsletter. If you are a ‘regular’ here then do tell us (or confirm) your details. Please do not leave your forms in the Cathedral; either hand them to the priest or put them through the letter box at Cathedral House. We look forward to hearing from you!! Marie & Lynne

Human Fertilization and Embryology Bill

Parliament

Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor’s message last week brought the moral issues raise by the Human Fertilization and Embryology bill to our attention. You will find some postcards at the back of the Cathedral which are already set out for you to complete with your name and address and the name of your MP. Please do take one with you and vote against the issues Cardinal O’Connor has made us all aware of. “Now is the time to draw the line”

The content of the bill can be found at http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2007-08/humanfertilisationandembryol...
