When the bishops of Scotland went to see Pope Benedict this month he said this:
“It is a happy coincidence that the Year for Priests, which the whole Church is currently celebrating, marks the four hundredth anniversary of the priestly ordination of the great Scottish martyr Saint John Ogilvie. Rightly venerated as a faithful servant of the Gospel, he was truly outstanding in his dedication to a difficult and dangerous pastoral ministry, to the point of laying down his life. Hold him up as an example for your priests today.”
In exploring the life of St John Ogilvie through tracing his travels, we hope to explore the Lord’s accompaniment of each of us in our journey of faith. During this year of priests, with the examples of St Jude and St John Ogilvie, please pray that our parish will have the grace of an ordination to the priesthood.
Candles, specially made for our novena are available at £1, which can placed on the Sacred Heart altar, where the statue of St John Ogilvie will reside for the duration of the novena. There will also be a petitions box for anyone who wishes to place their needs and prayers for novena.
Celebration ends with a Céilidh (CD music) on Saturday, 13th March in The Calvay Centre, 7.30pm to 11pm. Adults £3, Child (under 16) £2, Family Ticket £10. Ticket includes Pie ‘n’ Peas or Beans. BYOB. Tickets on sale now.
God our Father, fountain of all blessing, we thank you for the countless graces that come to us in answer to the prayers of your saints. With great confidence we ask you in the name of your Son and through the prayers of St John Ogilvie to help us in all our needs. Lord Jesus, you chose your servant St John Ogilvie to be your faithful witness to the spiritual authority of the chief shepherd of your flock. Keep your people always one in mind and heart, in communion with Benedict our Pope, and all the bishops of your Church. Holy Spirit, you gave St John Ogilvie light to know your truth, wisdom to defend it, and courage to die for it. Through his prayers and example bring our country into the unity and peace
of Christ’s kingdom. Amen.
