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

📖Today we celebrate the feast day of the renowned Catholic theologian, philosopher, and writer St Thomas Aquinas.

💬In the highly charged political landscapes of 2025 where rhetoric and language is often hateful, and the willingness to dialogue with others of an opposing view is absent from both sides of the political spectrum, this quote from the Doctor of the Church reminds us of the value in engaging in respectful discussion and debate with those whom we disagree. Often there are many narratives that must be heard if we hope to get to the real truth of any disagreement or debate.

🕯️HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY 2025

This Holocaust Memorial Day marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.

We must never forget the horrors inflicted on the Jewish people by the Nazi regime. As we commemorate the horrors of the Holocaust, today is an appropriate day to commit ourselves anew to stand against anti-Semitism and all racial discrimination.
