Pray for the wider world

​What a week of turmoil it has been in the wider world. Sometimes I think that the reason we have the News is so we can pray, that special task of followers of Jesus, no matter what our age or stage.
We are told to pray for those in authority, whether they are Christian or not. They have big responsibilities which they hold in trust for the whole community – a heavy burden, and they need our prayers.
Please make the transforming love of God being widely received in our community a major part of your prayers. And pray about how we can share it ever more effectively in our parish.
