NE WS Mother & Daughter High Tea

In this is love, not that we loved God but that God loved us. Beloved,
since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4.10–11
O God, form the minds of your faithful people,
that we may love what you command and desire
what you promise, so that, amid the many changes
of this world, our hearts may there be fixed where true
joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Two critical things we can do is remember and pray:
Remembering is important because there will be
another disaster in the news and recovery always takes
time. Remember, for many will forget.
Prayer is important too. Not simply saying a prayer
once, but regularly, but repeatedly. Prayer is sometimes
thought as handing over to God the things that are
hard to bear, but more fruitful prayer is seek God’s
strength in bearing the burden. Prayer of this sort keeps
open the question: “What more can I do?”
In the Province we pray for:
 Parish of Manjimup, Diocese of Bunbury
 Cathedral Parish of Karratha and Dampier, Diocese of North West Australia
In the Anglican Church we pray for:
 Primate of Australia, Archbishop Philip Freier
