We used this collection of pro-life quotes and pictures at our ‘Culture of Life’ evening, and quite a few people asked us to send it to them, so we thought we’d put it up here in case anyone found it useful.
The method by which PowerPoints are uploaded isn’t particularly helpful for downloading, so if anyone would like the original file just ask and we’ll send it.
We’re back in Glasgow after our trip to Rome. We spent a wonderful week, staying in a friend’s apartment and enjoying the sights and sounds of the city.
Visiting Rome is a great reminder that the Church is truly universal, and that this faith we possess is greater than just ourselves and our immediate environment, that it stretches across the world and throughout time. Being at the beating heart of the Church inspires us to share the beauty and majesty of the faith with all those we meet back home. Sometimes it’s just the impetus we need to see that, in fact we are not mad- the Church is alive and well.
We returned to Scotland yesterday afternoon where delays, a fire alarm and the pouring rain quickly reminded us that we were back, but we’re enjoying being at home after a hectic few weeks.
Does it get any better?
On the way into the Papal Audience on Wednesday, Sr Andrea was interviewed - in both English and Spanish - for Radio Vaticana.
“I therefore think that also by changing the form - many of our active female communities began in the 19th century with the specific social challenge of that period and today the challenges are a little different - the Church is making us understand that service to the suffering and the defence of life are vocations with a deep religious dimension and that there are forms [of Religious life] in which to live such vocations. So many new forms are springing up which make us hope that the Lord will grant the necessary vocations for the life of the Church and the world today. “
Quote from Pope Benedict XVI to clergy of Aosta, 25th July 2005
