A prayer from the Holy Father for peace “Let us pray with one heart and one soul – Lord come to our aid, grant us peace, teach us peace, Open our eyes and our hearts and give us the courage to say: Never again war.’ Lord Hear Us.” “May the weapons be stopped: they will never lead to peace, and may the conflict not widen! Enough! Enough, brothers! In Gaza, let the wounded be rescued immediately, let civilians be protected, let far more humanitarian aid be allowed to reach that stricken population. May the hostages be freed, including the elderly and children. Every human being, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, of any people or religion, every human being is sacred, is precious in the eyes of God and has the right to live in peace. Let us not lose hope: let us pray and work tirelessly so that the sense of humanity may prevail over hardness of heart.” In Jesus’ name. Amen |
Jack Traynor Case declared a miracle
Jack was a pilgrim on the archdiocese's first official pilgrimage to Lourdes in 1923 and was cured dramatically of epilepsy, paralysis of the right arm and paraplegia during the pilgrimage.
The case has been believed to be miraculous from people across the archdiocese and beyond, but, despite an attempt in 1993, there has never been an official ecclesiastical declaration until today.
It is the 71st official miracle to have happened in Lourdes and the first person from England to be recognised from a Lourdes miracle.
