Assisted Suicide
Catholics are urged to contact their MPs today to stop the legalisation of Assisted Suicide. The timing of the bill makes it probable that MPs will have a vote on assisted suicide before Christmas this year. This bill is not supported by the Church's teaching which is consistent with regard to the dignity of life. To find out more about the Bill and contact your MP please click here.

Homily - 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time 13th October
The opening prayer of Mass this Sunday takes us to the very core of the Christian faith. It is a teaching that is so important that without it we would not have Christianity but only at best a weak form of it and at worst a heresy. The teaching is about the grace of God.
Grace is receiving something good and loving that we don't deserve, that we cannot earn by anything we do.
Grace is God giving us undeservedly His love, His power, His Presence in our lives.
This is why we say that faith is a gift (a grace) of God. We did not and cannot pay money to have the gift of faith in Christ, we did not and cannot do any good acts to get the gift of faith. It is simply given by God by His love to us as a free gift.
Think about everything in our religion. Did we deserve Baptism? Did we have to pay for First Confession? Did we have to do lots of kind acts to make our First Holy Communion and be good? Did we merit our Confirmation? For all of these Sacraments and for everything in our spiritual lives it is all by the free grace of God given to us because He loves us and wants to be in a relationship with us.
Let us ever day in our prayers say - 'Thank you Lord, for your grace. I rely on nothing else but your grace. It is only by Your grace in me that I can be saved, in Your grace alone do I depend. Help me to be a grace centred person and not a me centred person, Amen.
