Welcome to the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary & St Matthew
Rather than go to Jesus with our needs, we think that we have to fix ourselves, or sometimes, we deny there’s a need altogether through fear or ignorance! only Jesus’ presence has the genuine power to heal a soul-sickness.
God, give us the grace to embrace
The mysteries we don’t understand,
The cruciform openness to live a tender surrender,
Into your ways wiser and kinder than ours,
And the deep shalom-peace of simply being
With you here,
Right here,
With us
Pope Francis Monthly Intention: Families
We pray for Christian families around the world; may they embody and experience unconditional love and advance in holiness in their daily lives

We pray for the Ukraine...
Holy and Gracious God
We pray for the people of the Ukraine, for their country and their leader.
We pray for all those who are afraid; that your everlasting arms hold them in this time of great fear.
We pray for all those who have the power over life and death; that they will choose for all people life, and life in all its fullness.
We pray for those who choose war; that they will remember that you direct your people to turn our swords into ploughshares and seek for peace.
We pray for leaders on the world stage; that they are inspired by the wisdom and courage of Christ.
Above all, Lord, today we pray for peace in Ukraine.
And we ask this in the name of your blessed Son.
Lord have mercy.
Amen
