Prisoner's Week Scotland 2008
The Prisoner's Week Prayer
Lord, you offer freedom to all people. We pray for those who are captives in prison and those who are affected by or involved in their imprisonment. Break the bonds of fear and isolation that exist. Support with your love: prisoners, their families and friends, prison staff and all who care. Heal those who have been wounded by the activities of others, expecially the victims of crime. Help us to forgive one another, to act justly, to love mercy, and walk humbly together with Christ in his strength and in his spirit now and every day. Amen.
STRIVING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
The National Commission for Justice and Peace advises the Scottish Bishops' Conference of the Catholic Church in matters relating to social justice, international peace and human rights, and promotes action in these areas.
WHY WE DO IT
The Commission's priorities and campaigns are firmly underpinned by Catholic Social Teaching.
SPREADING THE MESSAGE
We are committed to providing up-to-date information about justice issues through our printed magazine and email newsletter, which are produced in alternate months. This site is regularly updated with news in brief and more in-depth articles.
