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.
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
If you intend to walk, please can you register beforehand and get sponsors. If you are not able to take part yourself, please consider sponsoring someone in the parish. If in doubt, Bishop John seeks more sponsors – he can be sponsored through the CAFOD office! The walk begins/ends at St Luke’s Church, Lodge Moor. Register between 9.45am and 10.30am at St Luke’s. You can set off on the walk between 10am and 10.40.am.
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”
