The Bishops' Conference of Scotland

The Roman Catholic Bishops in Scotland work together to undertake nationwide initiatives through their Commissions and Agencies.

The members of the Bishops' Conference are the Bishops of the eight Scottish Dioceses. Where appropriate the Bishops Emeriti (retired) provide a much welcomed contribution to the work of the conference. The Bishops' Conference of Scotland is a permanently constituted assembly which meets regularly throughout the year to address relevant business matters.

The Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. 

To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever.

Amen

☮️INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR DISARMAMENT AWARENESS

05 Mar, 2025 | Justice & Peace Scotland | Justice & Peace Scotland Facebook |
☮️INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR DISARMAMENT AWARENESS

March 5th marks the International Day for Disarmament Awareness which seeks to promote better awareness and understanding of disarmament issues among the public.

🎬Watch Archbishop Nolan's powerful reflection at Faslane, recorded at our last Christian Peace Vigil held there in August 2024, as he calls on the nine nuclear powers to stop mistakenly viewing weapons of mass destruction as comfort blankets and co-operate to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

✝️Today is also Ash Wednesday, so to mark both the holy day when we are called to repentance through turning away from sin and being faithful to the gospel and the International Day of Disarmament Awareness, Justice & Peace Scotland will join Glasgow Catholic Worker and Pax Christi Scotland this afternoon for an Ash Wednesday liturgy at Faslane, the home of the UK's weapons of mass destruction. Our guest of honour will be life-long Catholic peace activist, Martha Ines Romero, who is the Secretary General of Pax Christi International and is currently visiting Scotland on a Catholic peacebuilding and non-violence speaking tour.
