Weekly Update from St Paul's Cathedral Melbourne

Thy Kingdom Come 


Days of Prayer | Thursday 26 May - Sunday 5 June
Beacon Event | Pentecost Sunday, 5 June at 4pm


Thy Kingdom Come is a world-wide prayer movement, calling on Christians to pray for people to know the joy and peace of Jesus Christ and for God’s Kingdom to come and our world to be transformed.  Its aim is to pray for people to know the saving love of God in Jesus Christ and be renewed in this suffering world. Resources are at www.thykingdomcome.global and on the Cathedral's website and we encourage you to “Pray for Five” – that is, pray from Ascension to Pentecost for five people who are not yet following Christ. 

Join us on Pentecost Sunday for our Beacon Event to pray with God’s world-wide family for the coming of the Holy Spirit, the witness of the Church, and the outworking of God’s kingdom of justice and peace.

Ways to pray at home

Pray with us

The World
North Korea is experiencing a dramatic outbreak of Covid cases in a largely unvaccinated population. With limited testing facilities, the number of cases and deaths is unconfirmed, but we pray that their government response will accept international offers of help amid their people’s uncertainty. Japan has concerns about their shrinking economy which is linked to effects of the Covid pandemic, the Ukraine war and a surge in commodity prices. Further worldwide shortages are forecast by the United Nations as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as we continue to pray for peace, particularly in that region. The Chinese city of Shanghai expects a gradual relaxing of its Covid lockdown to begin in June. We give thanks for this relief for so many,and pray there will not be a rebound of infections. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) suggests foreign shipping orders could aid China’s program to modernise its naval defence capability. This can inform our prayers for world peace and international relations. The issue of women’s rights in Malaysia has been highlighted by a recent legal prosecution, and we pray for the victim and a future recognition of equality to bring change.

Our City & State
Pray for our newly elected federal parliamentarians. Pray they would lead with integrity, humility and wisdom to use the many resources we have for the good of all people.
