Weekly Prayer

This week, the month of May begins. The Catholic Church dedicates the month of May to Mary, the Mother of God.
In this busy time of our lives, let us take a moment to recognise the courage of Mary and the gift she gave the world through her bravery.

God we thank you
that you made yourself known
to someone without power, wealth or status;
and we praise you
for the courage of Mary,
this young woman from Galilee,
whose Yes to the shame and shock
of bearing your Son
let loose the unstoppable power of love
which changed the world.

Catholic Social Teaching

The Catholic social teaching principle of human dignity is about understanding that each of us is made in God’s image. Every person has an innate human dignity no one can take away.

The Catholic social teaching principle of solidarity is about recognising others as our brothers and sisters and actively working for their good. In our connected humanity, we are invited to build relationships - to understand what life is like for others who are different from us.

Commitment to the common good means respecting the rights and responsibilities of all people. No one should miss out on the opportunity to grow and fulfil their potential.

What individuals can accomplish by their own initiative and efforts should
not be taken from them by a higher authority.
