The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of
the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within
both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil
vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen

“No” to Abortion Up to Birth -
action needed!
Labour MP, Tonia Antoniazzi, has tabled a
new extreme abortion up to birth

number of babies’ lives being ended
through late-term abortions carried out
at home. Please help us stop this!
Please take action now and visit
www.righttolife.org.uk/uptobirth to
email your MP - it takes just 30
seconds!
