Legalising Assisted Suicide Bill.

Hi, news reports suggest that our Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, is “paving the way” for a parliamentary vote before Christmas on legalising assisted suicide. Media outlets are reporting that the Government and assisted suicide lobbyists are putting intense pressure on MPs who were successful in the recent Private Members’ Bill ballot to introduce a Bill that would “rush into law” the legalisation of assisted suicide. If they are successful in persuading an MP to take a bill forward, a vote could be held within weeks! A Private Members’ Bill was the same mechanism used in Parliament to legalise abortion in 1967 and it appears Keir Starmer wishes to use a similar tactic to implement his personal desire for assisted suicide also to become legal. It’s vital that all MPs and the Government urgently see that there is a large number of voters in each constituency who don’t want to see an extreme change to our laws that would see the ending of many lives through assisted suicide. Please take action now and ask your MP to stop assisted suicide being rushed into law. It only takes 30 seconds using our easy-to-use tool: https://righttolife.org.uk/9ly2

Jubilee Year

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

Jubilee Year 2025

Jubilee Year –  The Holy Father has declared 2025 to be a Jubilee Year with the motto and theme “Pilgrims of  Hope.” There will be two Holy Doors in our Diocese, one at St. Mary’s Cathedral and one at St. Joseph’s Church, Hartlepool. The Bishop is very grateful to Canon Paul Douthwaite for agreeing his welcome to pilgrims at St. Joseph’s. The Holy Father has decreed that the Holy Doors are opened on Sunday 29th December. It is the Bishop’s intention to celebrate both openings that day. The Holy Doors will be closed on 6th January 2026. More information can be found via www.iubilaeum2025.va/en/applicazione.html  and will appear on the Diocesan, CBCEW  and Vatican websites in due course.
