Messages and Prayers
Praying for Aimee
Praying for the families of all key workers who have died in service
Lord we recall your servant Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more. Compassionate Lord we cry out and lament so much mourning in the world. Merciful God comfort the bereaved and wipe away their tears. Give them strength in their time of trial and peace in the knowledge of the thing to come.
Grief is the last act of love we can give to those whom we loved. Where there is deep grief, there was great love. Remembering all whose anniversary is this day – May 4th

So many sentient beings are experiencing suffering due to hardship, neglect or direct acts of cruelty.
May we choose to act in ways that reflect deep compassion, and may peace take higher priority than conflict.
