In the life of the Church, we pray that Bishop Richard, together with the Intercession of St Philip Howard, achieves the progress he expects in the reordering of our Diocese.
Lord in your mercy
In the world we give thanks for the beginning of the recent plan for peace in the Middle East and pray that peace will follow despite the staggering extent of devastation and loss of life in Gaza now being reported.
Lord in your mercy
We pray for those in need, including the homeless, the sick and housebound, the lonely and the depressed.
Lord in your mercy
In the local community we pray that those in authority see to the welfare of all.

We pray especially on this Anti-Slavery day that those who work to end any form of
slavery may be strengthened and supported and that each of us plays our own part in reducing this where we live or work.
Lord in your mercy
We pray for the repose of the souls of those who have died recently including Fr John, Horn, Mark Pearson, and Fr Kevin Taggart, and for all who share grief at this time

Prayer for Peace To the Creator of nature and man, of truth and beauty I pray: Hear my voice, for it is the voice of the victims of all wars and violence among individuals and nations; Hear my voice, for it is the voice of all children who suffer and will suffer when people put their faith in weapons and war; Hear my voice when I beg you to instil into the hearts of all human beings the wisdom of peace, the strength of justice and the joy of fellowship; Hear my voice, for I speak for the multitudes in every country and in every period of history who do not want war and are ready to walk the road of peace; Hear my voice and grant insight and strength so that we may always respond to hatred with love, to injustice with total dedication to justice, to need with the sharing of self, to war with peace. O God, hear my voice and grant unto the world your everlasting peace. ( Pope Saint John Paul II)
In May 2009 the Parish of the Nativity of the Lord was officially inaugurated by Bishop Kieran Conry, bringing together in a single united community worshippers from the former Parishes of St Joseph’s in Redhill, Holy Family in Reigate and St Teresa of the Child Jesus in Merstham. Whilst retaining its three Churches, the new Parish is administered as a single Parish under the care of Fr Tony Bridson. Working with Fr Tony are Deacon Tim Murrill and key groups of lay representatives from the three Churches.

From a life of celebrity and privilege, St Philip came to recognise that there could be nothing more important than his relationship with Christ in the community of the Church, and the love of his family, even though he was to be denied meeting with them when imprisoned in the Tower. His witness to the Catholic faith has brought him a different kind of celebrity – not one of worldly privilege, but that of a saint; not one of being served – but one of service.
May the patron of our Diocese intercede for us, as we seek to serve Christ in the mission He has given to us.
Bishop Richard Moth
