you filled Saint Oliver with the spirit of fortitude,
enabling him to feed your people with his word
and to lay down his life for the faith;
at his intercession
keep us strong in that same faith
and help us to proclaim it everywhere.

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

so through them you may help her to eternal salvation.

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

we may worship you, the living God,
and give true witness to Christ our Lord.

In response to MPs reintroducing the deadly Assisted Dying Bill, Archbishop John Wilson said:

“Assisted suicide has no place in a civilised society. It violates the God-given dignity of human life and puts the vulnerable – especially elderly and disabled people – in grave danger.

“As followers of the Lord Jesus, we have a duty to speak out and to act when the lives of so many people are at risk. That is why I urge Catholics to pray and to campaign to stop this deadly bill from becoming law”
