May we always be grateful for relationships that we have, and continue to develop along life’s journey.

May our days be filled with grace and truth in the possibility that we can move forward in hope. Help us cherish that you are closest to us when we are feeling most vulnerable.

God is Holy Mystery, beyond complete knowledge, above perfect description. Yet, in love, the one eternal God seeks relationship. So God creates the universe and with it the possibility of being and relating.

I would say “May the fourth be with you” for all the Star Wars fans but I won’t because not all will understand the reference.

Help us to understand that we are now given an opportunity to broaden our knowledge, to learn new skills and be creative.

Learn where there is wisdom, where there is strength, where there is understanding, so that you may at the same time discern where there is length of days, and life, where there is light for the eyes, and peace.

We know that these troubles make us more patient. And this patience is proof that we are strong.

The Spirit challenges us to celebrate the holy, not only in what is familiar, but also in that which seems foreign.

The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living.

Help us to remember that the gifts we receive from the earth are sacred and to be accepted with the grace in which they are given.

May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvellous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is.

We are a country known for being kind and peaceful. May we trust that in time we will return to a place of peace.

We are grateful for this gift of life, for the gift of our faith family, for challenges that stir our placidness, for the joys and laughter that brighten our days.

If you have a quiet space to sit quietly then do so for 20 minutes to start. If your mind begins to drift, focus on your breathing. This will help you to be calm and relaxed.

May we know your love and share it with our neighbours. May we find peace in knowing that all we are experiencing in these days of what seems like exile will not last forever.

We are learning to swim what sometimes seems against the current. We grasp the unknown, the misunderstood, the untruths and our imagination strays.
