A MESSAGE FROM THE CARDINAL:
After three years’ effort across the parishes of the Diocese, our Growing in Faith campaign is coming to a close. I want very much indeed to express my thanks to you for the attention and support you have given to its three key themes: strengthening parish life; supporting priests in formation and old age; and Caritas, our work with the poor. I thank you for your prayers, the work done by the volunteers and I thank all who have made financial contributions. In total, with gifts and pledges, a sum of £37 million has been given. This great achievement will do so much to enable us to meet our needs and look forward confidently. This is a marvellous measure of your great generosity and love for the Lord and His Church. Thank you so much.
I also want to take this opportunity to wish you a graceful and peaceful Christmas, full of the Lord’s blessings for you all and your family.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols
Archbishop of Westminster

PRAYER FOR THE THIRD
SUNDAY OF ADVENT
John the Baptist the messenger from God, prepares us for Jesus’ coming
Thank you, Father, for every messenger of yours who stands unbowed in the godless spirit of our age. Thank you for those who stand up for Justice and Truth before their own rights and freedom. May their example inspire us to the same faithfulness to Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
