President of the Polish Bishops' Conference extends condolences on the death of Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth II was a symbol of the unity of the United Kingdom and a symbol of those values on which Europe was founded. Her love for the nation, love for family, dedication, sense of duty, prudence, wisdom, experience, and spirit of service can stand as a model not only for representatives of the modern political class but for each of us,” wrote the President of the Polish Bishops' Conference Archbishop Stanisław Gądecki in his condolences on the death of Elizabeth II, which were conveyed to Cardinal Vincent Gerard Nichols, President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.

The Image of Our Lady
Prayers in front of the miraculous image of Our Lady of Częstochowa are the principal aim of pilgrims arriving at Jasna Góra. The image is one of the best recognised symbols of Christianity in Poland.
The image of the Virgin Mary and Child venerated in the jasna Góra Shrine is one of the icons of the “Hodegetria”, or “Indicating the Way” type. The icon is also known as the Black Madonna since
Mary’s face under the many layers of varnish is brown in colour. Legend has it that the image was painted by St. Luke the Evangelist on boards of the table used for meals by the Holy Family. Today scientists are inclined to accept one of two theories of the origin of the image.

Rights group welcomes Pakistan law against violence on women
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) on Thursday welcomed a landmark law passed by the country's most populous province to stop violence against women, but said it would make a difference only if there was "efficient enforcement". The Protection of Women against Violence Bill 2015, passed on Wednesday by Punjab, criminalises all forms of violence against women, including domestic, sexual, psychological, emotional, economic and verbal. Under the new law, the provincial government will establish district protection centres, residential shelters and a toll-free helpline for victims of violence. The law also says family courts must hold hearings within seven days of a complaint being made, and a decision must be taken on all complaints within 90 days. For serious offences, courts can order defendants to wear GPS-linked bracelets to monitor their movements.

Bishop urges govt. to help Filipinos detained abroad
A Catholic Church leader of the Philippines is calling on the government to help free Filipinos detained abroad and get them home safely. "The time has come ease the suffering of these people. The government cannot abandon them,” said Bishop Ruperto Santos of Balanga, the president of the Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). He has asked Manila to make every effort so that " their agony and their sorrow is not prolonged." His words came in the wake of the homecoming of Filipino worker, Joseph Urbiztondo, after 25 years in detention in Kuwait. He had managed to save his life paying the "blood money" to the family of a Bangladeshi he was accused of murdering though he denied it.
