Begin your Echoes of God journey

The year 2020 was earmarked as a focus on the Bible and ‘The God Who Speaks’. The campaign is now continuing throughout 2021.

We are encouraged to celebrate, live and share God’s word throughout this exciting Scripture initiative led by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales and Bible Society.

2020 was chosen as it was the 10th anniversary of Verbum Domini – Pope Benedict XVI’s Apostolic Exhortation on ‘The Word of the Lord’ - and the 1,600 anniversary of St Jerome’s death.

This dedicated section of the website will be updated with news, information and events.

Prayer:

Living God, you walk alongside us and speak to us throughout the Scriptures.
Your Son, Jesus Christ, listens to our hopes and fears and shows us how to live for one another.
Send us the Holy Spirit to open our hearts and minds so that we may be your witnesses throughout the world.
Amen

V. Your word is our path and your truth is our light.
R. This day and every day.

Our Lady of the Annunciation Pray for us

St Matthew Pray for us
