The season of Lent is a time, an opportunity, to come back, to open our hearts and souls to the presence of God, to be touched by the person of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and, freed from sin, to allow the Spirit to direct our lives in the ways of love, justice and peace.

I do so in gratitude for your own prayers and support for me during my first year as Bishop of Argyll and the Isles. It has been a pleasure and privilege to meet you during my pastoral visits earlier in the year and to celebrate the sacrament of confirmation in many of the parishes in more recent weeks. Thank you for the warm welcome I have received and for your hospitality and kindness...... ]]> no@spam.com (Bishop Joseph Toal ) Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:37:44 UTC http://www.rcdai.org.uk/articles/212/1/Bishop-Joseph039s-Christmas-Message/Page1.html http://www.rcdai.org.uk/articles/211/1/December-Newsletter/Page1.html Fr.

This site offers simple ways to enter into this Advent season, week by week, in the midst of our everyday lives.  ]]> no@spam.com (Website Editor) Sat, 28 Nov 2009 20:30:52 UTC http://www.rcdai.org.uk/articles/207/1/Praying-Advent/Page1.html http://www.rcdai.org.uk/articles/208/1/Prayer-Calendar-for-the-first-week-of-Advent/Page1.html About the Calendar: Using reconciliation as our lens, we shine a light on places in our own hearts and in our world where forgiveness, reconciliation and healing are needed. We take concrete steps to prepare for the "Prince of Peace‟ and the indwelling of love.
