THE GOSPEL: Matthew 17.1-9
‘His face shone like the sun.
Matthew tells us that the disciples fall on their faces overcome with fear when they hear the voice of the Father. Only after the resurrection will their faith be perfected to the point that they can hold to both the majesty of God and his desire to save them by drawing them into his perfect love through Jesus.
PASTORAL LETTER ON THE ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL AT HOLYROOD
Our Bishops have issued a Pastoral Letter on assisted suicide. The letter is available by clicking on the download button below. On the back page of the letter, are details of how to contact our MSPs. It is very important that we continue to challenge the Bill in the Scottish Parliament and that we contact our MSPs and try to prevent the legislation at Holyrood from being passed.
It now looks as though the Assisted Suicide Bill at Westminster will fail as it is unlikely to be given the time necessary to return to the House of Commons.
