MORNING PRAYER (Wednesday 08 January 2020)

A prayer for Australia in drought and fire

Our heavenly Father, creator of all things and especially the creator of this land and its original peoples, we call out to you in these desperate times as fires have swept across several parts of our country.
Our hearts cry out to you for those who have lost loved ones, and those who have lost properties in the wake of these ravaging fires 
Father we pray, in your mercy, restrain the forces of nature from creating catastrophic damage; in your mercy protect human life.
Guard those volunteers, rural fire service personnel and emergency services who selflessly step into the breach to fight these fires. Guide police and authorities who help evacuate and shelter those who are displaced.  Bring comfort and healing to all who suffer loss.
Remembering your promises of old that seed time and harvest will never cease, we pray that you would open the heavens to send refreshing rain upon our parched land. 
In your mercy, we pray for drenching rain. 
We pray that despite the forecasts, in your miraculous power you would bring forth rain to quench these fires and to bring life back into the earth, so that crops may grow and farmers may bring forth the harvest of the land again.
We bring these requests before your throne, in the name of your Son, who died and rose again for our deliverance,
Amen.

GOD SEND THE RAIN - THE DROUGHTLAND 

PRAYER:

    SAINT MARY MACKILLOP: FIRST AUSTRALIAN SAINT

MORNING PRAYER (Thursday 02 January 2020)

O God, you suffer with your people in times of hardship.

You raised up Mary MacKillop as a woman of faith

who lived by the power of the cross.

May she inspire us to be strong in faith and hope as

we carry our cross each day.

Deepen within us that love which leads us through death to life.

We make our prayer through Christ our Lord.

Blessed Mary of the Cross, accepting of the cross in life,

pray for us.

Amen.

MORNING PRAYER (Tuesday 31 December 2019)

Loving Father,

help us remember the birth of Jesus,

that we may share in the song of the angles,

the gladness of the shepherds,

and worship of the wise men.

Close the door of hate

and open the door of love all over the world.

Let kindness come with every gift

and good desires with every greeting.

Deliver us from evil by the blessing

which Christ brings,

and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.

May the Christmas morning

make us happy to be thy children,

and Christmas evening bring us to our beds

with grateful thoughts,

forgiving and forgiven,

For Jesus’ sake.

Amen.
