TRANSCRIPT
LITURGY OF THE WORD
Acts 7:55–60 Stephen manifests love of Jesus to the end.
Psalm 97 ‘The Lord is king, the most high over all the earth.
Revelation 22:12–14,16–17, 20 Jesus is coming soon.
John 17:20–26 The Lord prays for us: May we be one, united in the love of Father and Son.
In the Gospel, Jesus prays that his disciples may all be one - not just his current disciples, but also all his disciples in the future. He is praying for us as well. As we listen to today’s readings - to Stephen, the martyr; to John, the visionary; to Jesus, right before he gave his life - let us pray that all Christians, past, present, and future, may be one. May we be of one mind, one heart, one faith.

WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS
This church was built in 1816 to serve Glasgow’s rapidly expanding Catholic population. Following the restoration of the Catholic Hierarchy of Scotland in 1878, St Andrew’s became the Cathedral of the restored Archdiocese of Glasgow. In April 2011 a major renovation project was completed, providing the Cathedral with fresh décor, new artwork and an innovative cloister garden. Today it remains a popular city centre church, offering tranquillity for busy lives, as well as a fitting venue for the important liturgical events of the Archdiocese. Thank you for your presence and for your support.
