Thank you to all
A sincere thank you to all who joined us for our Easter Ceremonies and all who joined us on the webcam.
We hope you felt the Ceremonies were enriching and made a connection in your lives.
Thanks to all who took part, lending your voice, talent and heart to each Ceremony - our Ministers of the Eucharist and Word, our Sacristans, Choirs and Singers, our flower societies and all who were part of the Ceremonies. Thanks also to all who helped prepare our Churches for the Ceremonies.
All of these wonderful people, together with your participation, helped to make our Easter celebrations so special. Thank you!
Prayer for Pope Francis
Gracious God,
You know our needs even before we ask
and heed our faltering prayers, spoken and unspoken.
Hear our voice above the murmurs of sorrow
for it is the voice of confusion
seeking your still small voice of calm.
Hear our voice as we give thanks for your faithful servant
for it is the voice of praise
joining with sadness and joy.
Hear our voice as we pray for the future
for it is a voice of hope
longing to see your Church made whole.
Hear our voice as we watch with those who deliberate
for it is the voice of humility
asking for their wisdom and discernment.
Hear our voice as we pray in solidarity with the poor
for it is the voice of peace
searching for justice.
O God, hear the voice of the voiceless
for it is the voice of silence
crying out from the cross
through whom your Spirit may be heard
and your will be recognised. Amen
