‘All that the Father has is mine;
the Spirit will take what is mine
and declare it to you’
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which seeks to legalise assisted suicide, is fast approaching its decisive vote in the House of Commons which will likely take place this week (20th of June). The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales oppose this flawed bill both in principle and in practice. We urge Catholics, and all people of goodwill, to contact their MP and ask them to vote against this bill. We also ask you to pray that our representatives choose to protect the most vulnerable citizens of this country when they vote later this month. Write to MP to stop assisted suicide Bill -
Happy Father’s Day to all those who are celebrating this special day. We hope you have a blessed and enjoyable day with the family!
