  • Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales
    CATHOLIC BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE Mass of Welcome Cardinal Vincent Nichols’ Homily westminster cathedral, 28 february 2014 Thank you, all, very much, for coming to this Mass of Welcome. You have certainly made me feel just that - most welcome and wonderfully supported by your prayers and good will. In return may I say a little about the marvellous events in Rome over last weekend. The public Consistory last Saturday was a moment of such exuberance. I enjoyed it thoroughly. And I also learned, immediately, the deep esteem and respect in which Cardinals are held. Salutes all around; a sharp clicking of heels from the Swiss Guards; freedom to wander anywhere within the Basilica of St Peter’s; endless smiles and joyful greetings! So I was able to make my way over to greet our own Cathedral Choir, singing alongside the Sistine Choir. What a special moment. Then, next day, our choir met Pope Francis personally and gave him a brief impromptu concert. He readily expressed his thanks and admiration. The choir sang on two occasions: the public Consistory on Saturday, when the 19 new cardinals were created, through the imposition of the red biretta and the giving of a ring, and the solemn celebration of Mass with the Holy Father on Sunday. I experienced these two emotional events as a real deepening of our bonds with the Holy Father, the successor of St Peter, around whose tomb we were actually gathered. They were also moments of infectious joy, shared, I believe, by all present. On the following day, Monday, we went to the tomb of St Paul, in the great Basilica just outside the walls of Rome.

The proposal is addressed to all religious leaders and to people around the world to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus (Covid- 19) pandemic. The appeal released on Sat- urday, 2 May, reads: “Our world is facing a great danger that threatens the lives of millions of people around the world due to the growing spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. While we reaffirm the role of medicine and scientific research in fighting this pandemic, we should not forget to seek refuge in God, the All-Creator, as we face such severe crisis. Therefore, we call on all peoples around the world to do good deeds, observe fast, pray, and make devout sup- plications to God Almighty to end this pandemic. Each one from wherever they are and ac- cording to the teachings of their religion, faith, or sect, should im- plore God to lift this pandemic off us and the entire world, to rescue us all from this adversity, to inspire scientists to find a cure that can turn back this disease, and to save the whole world from the health, economic, and human repercussions of this serious pan- demic.

  • An Introduction to the Theme of World Meeting of Families 2018 Pastoral
    An Introduction to the Theme of World Meeting of Families 2018 The theme for each World Meeting of Families is chosen by the Pope. In choosing The Gospel of the Family: Joy for the World, as the theme for the ninth World Meeting of Families in Dublin, Ireland, Pope Francis invites us to reflect on a theme that was central to the Synodal process that led to his post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia: On Love in the Family. ‘The Church and The Gospel of the Family’ was a key theme in the Preparatory Document for the III Extraordinary Assembly of Bishops in October 2014, a document that was the subject of unprecedented consultation among the faithful of the Church across the world. While the preparatory document does not give a specific definition of the term, ‘The Gospel of the Family’, it does convey at least three senses in which this relatively new phrase in the Church’s tradition can be understood: • The family, founded on the marriage of a man and woman, is part of God’s plan from the beginning. The ‘Good News’ of the family is therefore an indispensable part of the joyful message of the Gospel that the Church proclaims. • The family is the principal agent of evangelisation of its own members. As the first school of faith and love, the Christian family is often where we ourselves first come to know Jesus and his love. • The family proclaims the Gospel to the World. The Christian family, by its witness to the life and love of Jesus, is a principal agent of evangelisation to the world.

St Joseph’s primary school © Mazur/www.thepapalvisit.org.uk WWesham joined children from Catholic schools from Lancaster and all over the country at St Mary’s College, Twickenham for truly a day to remember! The event theme was “I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full”. The day was certainly a full one and was a celebration of living life to the full in so many ways. We left school at 2.00am and arrived in London at about 7.45am. By 8.00am we were through security and onto the sports field. Everyone received a ‘goody bag’ with such diverse items as a prayer card, order of service and a banana! (Is there a scriptural reference I’ve missed here?). The children were so excited, especially when we found that Lancaster Diocese were right at the front and to the left of the stage. For over an hour and a half the Master of Ceremonies - Andy Akinwolere from Blue Peter - A kept us entertained and informed until the moment arrived. Dayto We saw His Holiness arrive, visit the chapel for prayers and then start his entrance in the famous pope mobile. We sang and shouted and cheered as he went past and the children were certain he had waved just at them! Some of the responses from my four excited children were: Remember! “It was just so full of joy, I hope that one day in the future my own child might have the opportunity to do what I have done today” (Ellie), “Meeting the Pope was a memorable thing, I’m so very “ lucky because not everyone has had that opportunity” (Jack), ““When the Pope looked at me it made me feel really special as if he had really warmed to me” (Tom), Everyone was so happy and I thought about how my mum had met Pope John Paul II when he came to Wales and now it was my turn” (Ffion).

Th e Catholic Church in Liverpool also responded to urban redevelopment with ambition and innovation. As architectural expert Charles Reilly announced to readers of the New York Times in 1930, ‘ Liverpool is starting to build a second and even greater cathedral. Her new project, indeed, calls for the greatest cathedral in the world next to St Peter ’ s at Rome. ’1 Designed by Edwin Lutyens, ‘ arguably the greatest British architect of the twentieth century, ’ the planned Catholic cathedral, named the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ, was intended to be second largest in the world and expected to cost £ 3 million.2 Th e impact of the cathedral on the city and beyond was highly anticipated: ‘ I see the cathedral then, like a rainbow across the skies radiating the true and the good ’ , wrote one prominent member of Liverpool Archdiocese.3 For the Archdiocese and, in particular for the cathedral ’ s pioneer, Archbishop of Liverpool Richard Downey (1881 – 1953), it represented an opportunity to transform the way in which Catholicism was seen both in Britain and beyond.

  • A People Who Hope in Christ
    A People who Hope in Christ A Message from the Metropolitan Archbishops of the Catholic Church in England and Wales Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, The radiance of the risen Lord shines upon us. At a time when so many shadows are cast into our lives, and upon our world, the light of the resurrection shines forever to renew and restore our hope. In the words of our Holy Father, Pope Francis: ‘In the midst of isolation when we are suffering from a lack of tenderness and chances to meet up, and we experience the loss of so many things, let us once again listen to the proclamation that saves us: he is risen and is living by our side.’ (27 March 2020) The impact of Covid-19, both nationally and internationally, has been immense. So much of what we take for granted has changed. Our health and physical interaction, our capacity to travel and gather, have all been affected. There is uncertainty in our future, especially with work and the country’s economy. As we know, very sadly, large numbers of people have died because of the coronavirus, and others have been or remain seriously ill. Keyworkers, not least in the National Health Service and care sectors, are serving selflessly to sustain the life of our nation. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone who is suffering because of Covid-19, and to all those battling to overcome its effects. May those who have died rest in peace and those who are bereaved find comfort. When the Prime Minister announced the lockdown, this included places of worship and therefore Catholic churches.
