Would all those who still have to pay the £10 please do so.

A PRAYER FOR THE PAPAL VISIT TO THE UK

God of truth and love, your Son, Jesus Christ, stands as the light to all who seek you with a sincere heart. As we strive with your grace to be faithful in word and deed, may we reflect the kindly light of Christ and offer a witness of hope and peace to all. We pray for Pope Benedict and look forward with joy to his forthcoming visit to our countries. May he be a witness to the unity and hope which is your will for all people.  We make our prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
