The Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes
On Friday the 57th Diocesan Pilgrimage sets off for Lourdes: the prayer intentions for the Pilgrimage are;
- that the Church may be an instrument of wisdom and a beacon of light in our World;
for sick pilgrims in Lourdes and all our sick that they may unite their sickness to the sufferings of Christ for the salvation of the World; - that as Christians we may grow together and become more effective in spreading the Gospel;
- that our young people may respond generously this week to the needs of others and be better witnesses to the presence and action of Christ in their lives;
- that those discerning their vocation in life may see more clearly the opportunities for a life of joy and service with God and the Church as priests, deacons and religious;
- that we may see the path that God has chosen for us in life and have the strength to follow him faithfully until death.
