The gift we can offer others is so simple a thing as hope. Fr Daniel Berrigan S.J
Laudato Si’ - On Care for our Common Home - The technocratic paradigm also tends to dominate economic and political life. The economy accepts every advance in technology with a view to profit, without concern for its potentially negative impact on human beings. Finance overwhelms the real economy. (#109)
Remember Vocations this Easter - Annual Vigil for Vocations to the priesthood, deaconate and consecrated religious life on Thursday evening 8th May at 7p.m. - 9p.m. in Our Lady of Lourdes, Cardonald. The evening will commence with a concelebrated Mass followed by Eucharistic Adoration, guest speaker, refreshments and concluding with Night Prayer and Benediction around 9.00p.m. This is an opportunity to pray for more vocations for our Archdiocese and beyond. "The harvest is rich but the labourers are few." Luke 10:2.
