All Christians should

always remember to walk

in the presence of the

Lord. This exercise would

guard all those who do it

faithfully from every sin;

moreover, it would make

them holy. (Rosmini)

Today is Peace Sunday

Pope Francis asks us to think about 'a culture of care as a path to peace' 'to strive daily, in practical ways, to form a community composed of brothers and sisters who accept and care for one another.' Pax Christi suggests we say the prayer of Pope Francis The peace Jesus gives us is a peace for today and for the future. May the Lord give us his peace, Full of hope That makes us fruitful, That makes us communicative with others, That creates community And that always looks to the definitive peace of Paradise. Amen.

Statement on the Treaty on the

Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

On Friday 22 January 2021 the

Treaty on the Prohibition of

Nuclear Weapons comes into

force. This is an historic milestone

on the path to nuclear

disarmament and an opportunity to

refocus on genuine peacebuilding

rooted in dialogue, justice, respect

for human dignity, and care for our

planet.

We can mitigate the effects

of climate change stop the

destruction of habitats and reverse

the decline of species worldwide. The

way we treat the earth today is

already affecting the poorest and

most vulnerable in the world and, in

time, will affect us all. I urgently

appeal, then, for a new dialogue

about how we are shaping the future

of our planet. We need a

conversation which includes

everyone, since the environmental

challenge we are undergoing, and its

human roots, concern and affect us

all.

Pope Francis, Laudato ‘si

The development of a

vaccine against COVID-19

presents an important

breakthrough in protecting others

as well as oneself from the virus; a

virus which has not only caused a

global pandemic and led to a huge

loss of life but has also placed a

great burden on healthcare

workers and systems. At present

the debate concerns the use of

the vaccines developed by Pfizer

& BioNTech, Moderna, and

AstraZeneca. Some have

questioned the use of the Astra

Zeneca vaccine since it has been

developed from cell-lines

originating from the cells of an

aborted foetus in

1983.The Congregation for the

Doctrine of the Faith and

the Pontifical Academy of

Life have expressed the view that

one may in good conscience and

for a grave reason receive a

vaccine sourced in this way,

provided that there is a sufficient

moral distance between the

present administration of the

vaccine and the original

wrongful action.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in 2021 has been prepared by the Monastic Community of Grandchamp in Switzerland. The theme that was chosen, “Abide in my love and you shall bear much fruit”, is based on John 15:1-17 and expresses Grandchamp Community’s vocation to prayer, reconciliation and unity in the Church and the human family.

Racial Justice Sunday 2021

This year’s Racial Justice Sunday, 31 January, is more important than ever. The effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, the killing of George Floyd, and the powerful message on

fraternity and equality by Pope Francis in Fratelli Tutti speak of the

need to actively oppose racism and pursue racial justice with renewed

vigour.
