RESPONSORIAL PSALM: We are his people, the sheep of his flock.

 IMPULSES FOR PRAYER: Ps 22 (23), 15 (16), 125 (126)

MEDITATION:

He is the repose of the dead,

The finder of the lost,

The light of those in darkness,

The redeemer of the captives,

The guide of the wandering,

The refuge of those that mourn,

The Shepherd of those who are saved.

Melito of Sardis, 2^nd century

As you have probably seen/heard on ITV and the BBC and read in the press,the Home Office is considering changing the rules thanks to the protest by the James family and supporters like you.
