Pope Francis  

We thank you for the life and ministry of Pope Francis, who led with humility, compassion, and a heart for the marginalised.  May his legacy inspire us to love more deeply, serve more generously, and walk more humbly with you. Grant him eternal rest and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Amen.

ANZAC Day 

God of love and liberty, we thank you for the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who served our country in war. Today we remember the ANZACs— those who gave their lives, those who returned changed, and those who continue to serve in the cause of peace. 

We pray for peace in our world, for understanding between nations, and for healing where there is hurt and division. 

Help us to be people of peace in our own lives— kind in our words, gentle in our actions, and strong in our stand for what is right. 

May the memory of those who served inspire us to live with courage and compassion. 

Lest we forget. Amen.
