BISHOPS'
CONFERENCE OF SCOTLAND PASTORAL LETTER
Copies of a pastoral letter from the
Bishops' Conference of Scotland on defending and promoting marriage and family

JUST A THOUGHT
If you are seated
at the sides of the Church, what about not cutting through the seats to get to
Holy Communion? It could disturb those saying their prayers. Coming round the
front or the back might be easier.

Please use the car
park with consideration for other drivers by parking between the lines and not
parking behind cars thus blocking them in.

Second
Reading
1
Corinthians 7:32-35
I
would like to see you free from all worry. An unmarried man can devote himself
to the Lord's affairs, all he need worry about is pleasing the Lord; but a married
man has to bother about the world's affairs and devote himself to pleasing his
wife: he is torn two ways. In the same way an unmarried woman, like a young girl,
can devote herself to the Lord's affairs; all she need worry about is being holy
in body and spirit. The married woman, on the other hand, has to worry about the
world's affairs and devote herself to pleasing her husband. I say this only to
help you, not to put a halter round your necks, but simply to make sure that everything
is as it should be, and that you give your undivided attention to the Lord.
Gospel
Mark
1:21-28
Jesus and his followers went as far as Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath came
Jesus went to the synagogue and began to teach. And his teaching made a deep impression
on them because, unlike the scribes, he taught them with authority. In their synagogue
just then there was a man possessed by an unclean spirit, and it shouted, "What
do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who
you are: the Holy One of God." But Jesus said sharply, "Be quiet! Come
out of him!" And the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and with
a loud cry went out of him. The people were so astonished that they started asking
each other what it all meant. "Here is a teaching that is new" they
said "and with authority behind it: he gives orders even to unclean spirits
and they obey him.". And his reputation rapidly spread everywhere, through
all the surrounding Galilean countryside.
