Religious pride

Just a few thoughts

  • "Don't let yesterday use up too much of today." -- Will Rogers

  • We pray for those who live in rented accommodation and face rising rents or lack of housing security, and for those who are homeless, that governments and communities will work to relieve their situations.

  • We pray for single parents. With the support of family, friends and the community, may they be enabled to cherish and care for their children.

Love on display

Just a few thoughts

  • "You either get bitter or you get better. It's that simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you." -- Josh Shipp

  • May we ponder more deeply on the mystery of Christ’s death through which we gain eternal life.

  • We pray for the world-wide people of God. May they demonstrate to their neighbours the life-giving power of the Spirit of Christ.
