Today we commemorate the Faithful Departed. During this Holy Year we put our hope in God ‘s mercy, abundantly shown on the Cross, as we pray for those whose pilgrimage on earth has finished.
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and perpetual light shine upon them. Amen

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of St. John Paul II (1920–2005) ✨

Born Karol Wojtyła in Poland, he became the first non-Italian pope in over 450 years, serving from 1978 to 2005. His papacy was one of the longest in history, marked by a deep devotion to the Eucharist, Our Lady, and the dignity of every human person. 🌍✝️

He is remembered for:
🌿 Encouraging the world with his words: “Be not afraid.”
🌿 Establishing World Youth Day to inspire young Catholics.
🌿 Traveling to over 120 countries to share the Gospel.
🌿 His role in inspiring hope and freedom during the fall of communism in Eastern Europe.

St. John Paul II showed us what it means to live courageously in faith, joy, and love. 💙

St. John Paul II, pray for us! 🙏

Yesterday I was pleased to participate in an Inter Faith candle lighting ceremony in Edinburgh which brought together Jewish, Muslim and Christian leaders as well as representatives from civil society. When there is so much darkness in the world people of faith have an important role in forming consciences. God’s light dispels all darkness.

My brothers and sisters in Christ

Day of Prayer for Peace 7th October 2025

The Bishops of Scotland invite all Catholics to keep Tuesday 7th October as a day of prayer for peace.

It is of course two years since the terrible massacre in Israel and now the continuing atrocities in Gaza.

We invite our brother priests to open their churches on that day for as long as possible so that everyone has the possibility to visit their parish, especially the Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament for a moment of prayer and to light a candle.

Our world today is troubled by so many wars and conflicts; it is appropriate that we as Catholics pray individually and together on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary for the Holy Land, Gaza and Israel. Pope Leo has also asked all Catholics to pray the Rosary during the month of October for peace in our world.

Could I suggest the following prayer for your intentions on the 7th October:


God of peace and justice,
We pray for the people of the Holy Land:
Israeli and Palestinian, Jew, Christian and Muslim.
We pray for an end to acts of violence and terror.
We lift to you all who are fearful and hurting.
We ask for wisdom and compassion for those in leadership.
Above all, we ask that Jesus the Prince of Peace,
Establish lasting reconciliation and justice for the Holy Land and all nations. Amen.

With thoughts and prayers in Christ, the Prince of Peace


+John Keenan, Bishop of Paisley
President, Bishops’ Conference of Scotland
