Reflections on the relevance of religious life for young adults in Covid 2020s. Why not a few young people are attracted to it? How do they discern? Are they not afraid? Where is safe to apply? What if they fail or if their community is suppressed? And what about marriage? What if I still don’t know what to choose (the “Don’t-leave-me-behind-Syndrome”)?

Pro-life October

A message from Fr Philomeno James, of the Gosport Franciscans

+JMJ+

Ave Maria 

A MESSAGE TO HELPERS

We are trying to take the 40days Campaign onto a New level. This involves the training of Pavement Counsellors who can engage the Mother’s in “Crisis” at the  vigil. There are certain guidelines to follow. Perhaps Jesus and Mary are calling you to this most important ministry.

As part of your response to prayer, if you are called to be generous and try this vital apostolate, then we must mention some important points.

(1) The Necessity to have watched the Msr Philip Reilly Video on “Sidewalk Counselling” before the meeting on Sunday Night October 3rd at St. Mary’s Warrington, given by Justyna from GCN.

The link to the seminar is below:

(2) The generosity to spend 2 hours at the Vigil on either Tuesday October 05th or Wednesday October 06th to be trained as a LIVE Observer of Justyna who will attend the Vigil and provide “on the job” training. This may even involve you to make a shift swap or take some hours off if you work.

Please pray. Please be generous. Please give a voice to the voiceless, our poor brothers and sisters waiting for your “YES”.

God Bless and Mary Keep You All

Fr Philomeno James

—————————————————-

Prayer Vigil outside Liverpool abortuary from 6am-9pm until October 31st when the Autumn Campaign officially finishes.

Volunteers can contact Gabrielle Stanley at liverpool40daysforlife@gmail.com

or 07895128073 if you would like to participate in the Liverpool 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil or if you have any questions about the Prayer vigil.

Prevent suicide

Forthcoming Assisted Dying Bill – Bishop John Sherrington, Lead Bishop for Life Issues for the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has written an open letter inviting Catholics to pray for the defeat of the Assisted Dying Bill to be debated in the House of Lords in October.

It encourages them to write to peers at the House of Lords stating the reasons why they oppose this legislation and particularly explain from personal experience the reasons why this change in the law should be opposed. It urges discussion and communication about this important matter.

Bishop John’s Letter

In the next weeks, we face an unprecedented attack on the sanctity of life with Baroness Meacher’s ‘Assisted Dying Bill 2021’ is due its 2nd Reading in the House of Lords with full debate on Friday, 22 October.

The term ‘Assisted Dying’ is euphemistic, the truth is that this bill seeks to introduce Assisted Suicide. If legalised, this Bill would allow a terminally ill adult with less than 6 months to live to be assisted in committing suicide. Catholic teaching opposes assisting suicide, since life is a gift to be cared for and preserved until its natural death. The Church is clear that we cannot directly choose to take the life of another, even if they request it. The solidarity of praying and caring for the most vulnerable at this fragile time of their lives is a profoundly Christian act which imitates Our Lady’s prayer at the cross and Christ’s service to the weakest.

Those in favour of the bill are making good use of language to confuse the issue and call it a compassionate and caring approach to redefine the question and obscure the actual reality and consequences of such legislation. As Pope Francis has said, “Physician-assisted suicide is part of a ‘throwaway culture’ that offers a ‘false compassion’ and treats a human person as a problem… True compassion does not marginalise anyone, nor does it humiliate and exclude – much less considers the disappearance of a person as a good thing.” He criticised “those who hide behind an alleged compassion to justify and approve the death of a patient.”

Dangers of the introduction of Assisted Suicide

Importantly, at this stage we need to argue the dangers of the introduction of Assisted Suicide, which include the safety of people who are vulnerable due to external pressures, and the later liberalisation of the law which is evidenced by other countries which have introduced Assisted Suicide. Many voices from the world of disability-rights and other allies are also very fearful and fighting this bill. Whilst there are clear arguments to support Catholic teachings, it is important to remember that this position is not only a matter of faith but also human reason.

Later this month, the BMA will be debating whether to change their stance to support or neutrality on this matter. I hope that healthcare professionals will enter this debate and highlight the dangers of this Bill to change and skew the meaning of medicine.

Take action

There are three important actions in the next weeks: prayingwriting and sharing.

First, I ask you to pray that the Bill will be defeated.

Second, I ask you to write to the Peers from your personal experience and share stories which will argue the reasons for opposing the Bill as well as narrate the importance of precious time during the final stages of life.

The testimony of healthcare and legal professionals will also be important. This needs to be done before the Second Reading on 22 October.

Third, I ask you to engage and share stories and reasons against the Bill on social media.

Briefing papers will be available on the bishops’ conference website to assist you as this work develops.

Be assured of my prayers,

+John

We pray for our Holy Father and for all the bishops, as well as all those in authority in the Church who will have to make significant decisions regarding the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter in the near future. We pray for all the priests and seminarians of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter, that they may continue to carry out their ministry in the Church with fidelity, reverence and obedience, giving guidance to the faithful through a clear ecclesial and humble attitude. We pray for all the faithful in our apostolates and for all the people attached to the traditional Mass, that they will not lose heart, but will be able to accept this time of trial and, with the help of God’s grace, come out of it stronger.

Other Mass intentions are applied at Private Masses. Kindly ask Fr Stewart for details.

COMMUNAL SHRINE INTENTIONS: Consider offering your usual stipend for the following weekly Mass intentions, otherwise offered without a stipend: All St Mary’s Faithful; All St Mary’s penitents; FSSP seminarians or Clergy. Please write one of these intentions on the Mass envelope, insert your stipend and put it in the collection basket. Thank you.

HOW MUCH DOES A MASS COST: Holy Mass stipends do not pay for the infinite merits of the Sacrifice of the Mass, but for the sustenance of the clergy offering it. While our priests might offer Holy Mass without a stipend or with a smaller one, ten pounds (£10.00) is considered customary. Each priest retains the full amount of the stipend allocated for the Mass he offers on a given day; however no priest may retain more than one stipend per day, even if offering more than one Mass that day. Thank you.
