It is so sad to hear of Pope Francis’ passing. He was such an anchor and inspiration. We will all feel this loss.
This quote is from Laudato Si: ‘I will point to the intimate relationship between the poor and the fragility of the planet, the conviction that everything in the world is connected, the critique of new paradigms and forms of power derived from technology, the call to seek other ways of understanding the economy and progress, the value proper to each creature, the human meaning of ecology, the need for forthright and honest debate, the serious responsibility of international and local policy, the throwaway culture and the proposal of a new lifestyle.’
May he rest in peace 🕊️

Christian Aid is sad to hear of the passing of Pope Francis.
He always championed the oppressed, marginalised and those struggling with poverty, particularly people around the world impacted by conflict, the climate crisis and the unfair debt crisis.
Pope Francis was also committed to building peace in South Sudan, where in 2023 he joined the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Moderator of the Church of Scotland on an ecumenical pilgrimage of peace.
On behalf of Christian Aid and our supporters, we offer our prayers and give thanks for his life.

A statement from Dean Simon on the announcement of the death of Pope Francis.
‘On behalf of the cathedral community, I offer my condolences to our sisters and brothers around the world who will be mourning the death of Pope Francis.
Pope Francis gave his entire life to God and had a committed heart for the poor, the marginalised, for refugees and for creation.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory.’

RIP POPE FRANCIS (1936-2025)
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

Today, we mourn the loss of one of the greatest environmental advocates of our century.

Pope Francis was not only a spiritual shepherd but a courageous voice for our planet and the dignity of all creation.
His encyclical Laudato Si’ called on humanity to rediscover the sacredness in simplicity, humility, and care for our common home.
May he rest in peace — and may his passing awaken in us a renewed commitment to the earth he so fiercely defended.
Let this be a moment to revisit Laudato Si’, to reflect on its wisdom, and to rise together in honoring life through mindful, compassionate stewardship.
The way is simple. The time is now.

Back in 2015 I was fortunate enough to have great Catholic friends who said “You need to see this”. When I read it I gathered my ten pledges, and went to see Bishop Tim. The rest is History, everything done, all down to Papa Francis. ✨
It’s a great read with those of faith and with none.

In their beliefs and actions, some people point us to Jesus particularly well. Pope Francis did so as the most famous disciple of Jesus in the world. Today, we pray that the world might be inspired by his life, his priorities, and especially his passion for the most marginalised in society.
Rest in peace, rise in glory.

Praying for Cornwall on Good Friday
Our souls wait for the Lord.
Father, we commend to your faithful love
those in Cornwall who are crying from the depths;
help them to watch and pray
through their time of darkness,
in sure hope of the dawn of your
forgiveness and redemption;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
💠
Show us, O Lord, the way that we should walk in.
Jesus, our companion,
when we are driven to despair,
help us, through the friends and strangers
we encounter on our path,
to know you as our refuge,
our way, our truth and our life.
🙏
Adapted from the Church of England’s Prayer During the Day for Good Friday.

Lent Week 4 – Inter Faith Relations
During the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity this year we reflected on the significance of the Nicene Creed, and on how this shared statement of faith can help us spread the Good News of the Gospel in today’s diverse and pluralist society.
A positive development in the decades since Nicaea has been a more respectful engagement with those of other faiths, a greater appreciation for the shared wisdom we can offer together on moral and ethical issues and greater collaboration and collective responsibility on issues of freedom of religion or belief for all. However, there is still much more work for us to do in this area to strengthen inter faith relations.
Scripture passage for this week: Proverbs 8:1-3

Pray with us today.
If we see the world through your eyes, Lord,
then we see a vision of our world as your love would have it:
a world where all who are weak are protected and none go hungry;
a world where your riches of creation are shared for everyone to enjoy them;
a world where mutual respect is expressed between different races and cultures and harmony descends;
a world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love.
Give us the inspiration and courage to build it how you see it Lord!
That all may praise together and the only power exerted is the power of your love. Amen.
