An Invitation from Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne

Next week, as we approach the eve of spring, Christians and all people of faith are invited to unite in prayer for our world. As the last light of the last day of winter fades on Monday 31 August, you are invited to light a candle and spend some time in prayer to remember all those who have lost their lives to Covid-19 and to pray for those working to serve others at this time. As the first night of spring begins, let us look to the future with prayer and hope.

If you are seeking a family prayer to mark this prayer time at home, some resources can be found here.
