Prayer of the Week and News from Holy Spirit Parish/Fr Arsenio

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

We pray for the 3/4 Level who have completed their First Reconciliation this term. The Sacrament of Confirmation will commence in Term 2 and Eucahrist in Term 3. More details of this will be sent out to the community next term. 

 

‘Still’ - A prayer by Jan Richardson who is the author of many beautiful prayer books. I thought this would be appropriate to take time to reflect after a busy term of many unknowns.

Blessings to us all as we set out on the path of Holy Week with Jesus and one another.  Have a lovely break and enjoy this Easter time with your family.

Still

For Good Friday

This day let all stand still in silence,in sorrow.

Sun and moon be still.

Earth be still.

Still the waters.

Still the wind.

Let the ground gape in stunned lamentation.

Let it weep as it receives what it thinks it will not give up.

Let it groan as it gathers the One who was thought forever stilled.

Time be still.

Watch and wait.

Still.

—Jan Richardson
