  • GOD CALLS – an app from NOV designed to help you grow in faith, develop in discipleship and follow God’s call.

  • “Do your part in the work of Christ the Priest with genuine joy and love.” – The Rite of Ordination to the Priesthood

  • Vocation comes from a Latin word meaning “calling”. Usually when we hear the word vocation, we think of the priesthood. However, every single person in the world is called by God to love and serve Him…

  • The state of being single is what we’re all born into. For some people, the single state is their lifelong and stable response to the call of Christ.

  • Jesus calls many women and men to the vocation of marriage and being parents. Married couples promise to serve each other with love and to serve the whole Church. They enter into a life-long covenant of love.

  • Consecrated life is the Church’s way of referring to the wide range of opportunities for individuals to dedicate themselves to a life of prayer and service, often as sisters, nuns, brothers and monks.

  • Do not be afraid to accept this call. You will surely encounter difficulties and sacrifices, but you will be happy to serve, you will be witnesses of that joy that the world cannot give. – Pope John Paul II

Autumn Saints

We are in a season that’s rich in saints. Be inspired by them by taking our new Autumn Saints quiz on the GodCalls app: www.godcalls.co.uk.

This free app will help you go deep with God through prayer, reflecting on the Gospel of the Day and by learning about the saints in weekly, snappy mini-biographies of their lives.

‘Alone Together’ Website

A new website is available offering online resources to help people live through the coronavirus pandemic. These come from those with experience of social distancing or isolation, people who have lived this reality either intentionally like monks and nuns or against their will like hostages or the housebound. This is a new and difficult journey for most people, but experienced guides give us hope along the way.

Please visit www.alonetogether.org.uk to access these resources.

Reading Matthew in Lent

During this challenging time when many of us are having to self-isolate, we can use this period – which is also Lent – to tune in to God’s word.  ‘Reading Matthew in Lent’ is a series of podcasts for the Lenten season produced by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, offering a daily reading from St Matthew’s Gospel up until Easter Monday (these will be uploaded on weekdays from Monday to Friday).  The readings are also downloadable as text if you prefer to read them.

Please visit www.cbcew.org.uk/series/reading-matthew-in-lent/ for the podcasts and readings.
