Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week – 17th May 2026
"In His solemn prayer for the Church’s unity, Christ Our Lord did not ask His Father to remove His disciples from the world: “I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil.” Let no man therefore imagine that a life of activity in the world is incompatible with spiritual perfection. The two can very well be harmonized."
Pope Saint John XXIII, Mater et Magistra, para 255
 
Laudato Si’ Quote - on new biological technologies
We forget that the inalienable worth of a human being transcends his or her degree of development. In the same way, when technology disregards the great ethical principles, it ends up considering any practice whatsoever as licit. As we have seen in this chapter, a technology severed from ethics will not easily be able to limit its own power. (#136)
 
Laudato Si’ Week - May 17 -24  marks the 11th anniversary of Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical on Care for our Common Home, and is a time to reflect on how we care for the world and the poor. 
This year’s theme invites us to move From Hope to Action, and you are invited to take one concrete action during the week to Care for Creation. Go to the Laudato Si’ Action Platform on https://laudatosiweek.org/ to find a list of personalised suggestions.
 
Laudato Si’ Week - May 17 – 24 plans for our parish include:
  • Rosary around the grounds at 4.30 p.m. Sunday 17th May,
  • A decade of the Rosary on Caring for Creation each morning at 9.30a.m.
  • And a challenge to all parishioners to take one concrete action during the week to care for Creation.
  • Why not sign up for the free newsletter of the Laudato Si’ Movement to find out what is going on this year: https://laudatosimovement.org/
 
Pray in May with Mary’s Meals:
  • During the month of May, as we take time to honour and celebrate Our Lady in a special way, please join us in praying for the hungry children who rely on our life-changing school meals, and for all the children and families around the world who live in poverty.
  • Visit www.marysmeals.org.uk/prayinmay to access our prayer resources.

Our volunteers:
  • Collect donations every evening from M&S Milngavie and deliver to St Gregory’s, Wyndford Foodbank and Aspire West End which helps people get back on their feet.
  • If you are interested in volunteering or even providing occasional holiday cover, please get in touch with Veronica McLaughlin by email at: [email protected]
