A statement of solidarity from Bishop Robert Byrne on behalf of the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle and the local Roman Catholic community.
God of compassion,
whose Son Jesus Christ, the child of Mary,
shared the life of a home in Nazareth,
and on the cross drew the whole human family to himself:
strengthen us in our daily living
that in joy and in sorrow
we may know the power of your presence
to bind together and to heal;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Together, we stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and send our prayers to those affected by the conflict.
Pope Francis and the Synod office in Rome are inviting the whole Church to become Synodal.
We are invited to journey together, listening to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in the lives of the people we meet.
