Prayer for the Week
National Sorry Day & Reconciliation Week
As we pray for Reconciliation may we remember that May 27 and June 3 are important dates in Australia’s history. May 27 marks the anniversary of the 1967 referendum when Australians voted to remove clauses in the Australian Constitution that discriminated against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. June 3 marks the historic 1992 Mabo decision in which the High Court of Australia recognised native title—the recognition that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights over their lands did survive British colonisation; and so we acknowledge that we gather each day on the land of the Bunarong People and pay our respects to their elders both past and present, for they hold the memories, the culture and the wisdom upon which our nation’s future will be built.
Lord,
Open up our hearts so that we may hear the message you teach of a world in which the wrongs of the past are recognised -
A world in which a reconciled people walk and talk together sharing stories;
A world in which all burn with the desire to have your peace and justice reign.
We ask this in Jesus' name.
Amen.
St. Augustine's School Prayer
Our Father in Heaven,
Look over and bless St. Augustine’s while we are working and playing.
Help us to respect and care for each other as you taught us to.
Give us the opportunity to do our best for you each day.
We look forward to being able to share our lives with our friends and families.
Keep us safe and give us the courage to be
people who want to know you more. Amen.
