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

We are a proud member of Scottish Faiths Action for Refugees and we send our solidarity to people seeking asylum, refugees, friends of the Muslim faith and all who have been traumatised by the recent racist violence across the UK.🧡

SFAR has co-authored the statement below on behalf of all its member groups and we fully endorse its content. 👇

Although it was promising to see so many anti-racist gatherings last night and communities coming together in friendship and support, the sentiments, rhetoric and political influences that have led to the entrenchment of intolerance and hatred has not gone away.

Division must be replaced with dialogue, violence with peace, and intolerance with respect and understanding. 🕊
