“I am the Saviour of all people, says the Lord,
Whatever their troubles, I will answer their
Cry, and I will always be their Lord."


Vocations to the Priesthood—The year of Discernment begins in mid September.

“Seek the Lord while He may be found…”  While seeking Him in prayer and the sacraments, listen to Him.  Could it be you are being called by Jesus to serve as a priest, deracon, sister or brother?  If you think He may be offering you this grace, contact Fr. W. Donnelly, or the Archdiocesan Director of Priestly Vocation, Right Rev. Mgr John Gilmartin, 0141 882 1024, email at VG@rcag.org.uk or email Fr. Andrew McKenzie at Priest for Scotland : amckenzie@pfs.org.uk.  See www.priestsforscotland.org.uk

Liturgical Information:  The New Translation and why we need one—Until the early 1960s, Mass was celebrated in Latin throughout the world.  The Second Vatican Council agreed that the Mass could be celebrated in our own language and in 1970 Pope Paul V1 agreed the official Latin text that would be used.  This was then translated into different languages but because it was done so quickly some of the richness of the original Latin prayers was quite literally “lost in translation”.  This is why a further translation was needed which would keep the original words and the meaning and style of the Latin as far as possible.  The new translation will eventually mean a new missal with additional texts such as prayer for saints who have been added by the church to the liturgical calendar.
