Jesuits in Britain are involved with the Diocese of Westminster Justice and Peace Commission which “... exists to promote action and reflection on peace and social justice in the Diocese of Westminster, in the light of the Gospel and Catholic Social Teaching.”
With this in mind, the Commission is running a Novena to Our Lady Untier of Knots, during which participants are encouraged to pray for the populations of Palestine and Israel suffering the terrible consequences of sectarian violence.
The Novena to Our Lady Untier of Knots is a wonderful 9-day prayer dedicated to the Mother of God. It is Pope Francis’ favourite Novena and one of the most popular Novenas worldwide.
You can register / sign-up for this event online via Eventbrite here. Please email Colette Joyce at justiceandpeace@rcdow.org.uk to get the Zoom link if the Eventbrite booking is full.
Please note, there is no obligation to complete the 9-day Novena. You can join in for any part of it.
The team at St Beuno's have created this retreat for participants to reflect on Pope Leo XIV's statement: "We want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering."
This residential course includes listening skills, discernment of spirits, a model of Ignatian spiritual conversation and accompaniment, and ways of praying. The course will help deepen and improve one-to-one pastoral ministry, using Ignatian principles based on the Spiritual Exercises.
