Dear friends,

There is much to pray for, and give thanks for, this weekend.

Being the Fourth Sunday of Easter, it is “Good Shepherd Sunday”, and the World Day of Prayer for Vocations – a chance to give thanks to God for calling each one of us to follow Jesus in our lives, to renew our commitment to our specific vocations, and pray for and support those still discerning theirs.

Last Sunday was ANZAC Day, which always occurs in the Easter Season, and gave us an opportunity to remember the ANZACs and all those who have given their lives in defence of our nation with prayerful gratitude, commending them to the risen Lord, and to pray for His peace for our troubled world.

May Jesus, the Good Shepherd, bless you and guide you this coming week and always.
