Sunday July 11 is Sea Sunday on which we are encouraged to pray for Seafarers and the Port Chaplains who care for them. Faith Today spent a day with Ann Donnelly, the Port Chaplain at Teignmouth and Liuba Jeffs, a ship’s visitor to talk about their work and ministry.

A warm welcome in your parish?

As welcomes go, you’re surely assured of a warm one in your local Catholic parish.

Unfortunately, though, that’s not necessarily the case – as the Bishops of England and Wales discovered a few years ago when they carried out a survey of the needs of ordinary Catholics throughout the country.

Prisons Weeks - Holding Fast to Hope

The theme for Prisons Week (November 15-21) this year is ‘Holding Fast to Hope’. As the author of the Letter to the Hebrews says: ‘Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another’ (10:23-25).

Resurrection Joy

On the Day of Pentecost St Peter was a transformed man. He was once a coward; he was once weak, fearful and inarticulate; he was once easily confused, stubborn and dull to the truths of God. On the Day of Pentecost this changed forever.

The Power of the Resurrection

St Paul considered everything as utterly meaningless and worthless compared with possessing Christ. This brilliant and supremely able man, many years after his conversion, said that more than anything else he wanted to know Christ and the power of his resurrection (Phil. 3:10). He wanted the transforming power of Jesus’ resurrection life to be ever increasing within him so that God’s grace and power would permeate his life and radiate out through him, and he would attain the very likeness of Christ himself.

Pope Benedict on Church Unity

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an important event in the life of the Church. There are two very important ideas at the heart of this week and they are love and prayer. Love and prayer have to be at the heart of all our efforts and endeavours as we strive to be faithful to Jesus’ prayer ‘that they may be one even as we are one’ (John 17:22). Pope Benedict himself is a wonderful example of this ‘spiritual ecumenism’ rooted in love and prayer and we sit at his feet and learn from him. We invite you to pray on his words because they will lead you to pray more earnestly for unity and understand it as the gift of the Holy Spirit that it is.

Prison Facts

Prisons Week (November 16 – November 22) has as its theme : Talented or Worthless?  There is a view, prevalent in society at large, which holds to the view that a prisoner should be treated with contempt, locked away (and preferably with the key thrown away) and very much ‘out of sight, out of mind.’
This however is not the Christian view which always holds out the prospect of conversion, change and redemption. The truth is that there but for God’s grace we all go and we at Bible Alive uphold that every prisoner, just like every human being, is created in the image and likeness of God and has God given talents and abilities.

Celebrating St Paul - The virtue of love

29 June marked the beginning of the Year of St Paul. When Pope Benedict XVI announced this special Year, he explained that he intended it to be a year in which the Church celebrates St Paul’s life and dedicates itself to reflecting, praying and celebrating the lasting and outstanding contribution of this great witness, martyr and saint.
