Weekly Update from St Paul's Cathedral Melbourne

The Day of Pentecost


  Sunday 5 June
 

On Sunday we celebrate Pentecost when we recall how the Holy Spirit was given to the disciples after Jesus’ ascension, empowering them to begin the work of making disciples of all nations.
 
With its focus on God’s Spirit being poured out on believers, Pentecost is also a fitting day for baptisms and we’re delighted that Estella Lace will be baptised at our 10am service. 

At 4pm, you’re invited to join with sisters and brothers from churches across Melbourne for our Thy Kingdom Come Beacon Event as we join in prayer 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
Our prayers continue to be with people in the United States after they continue to be horrified first by the killing of 10 black people in followed within a fortnight by the killing in Uvalde, Texas, of nineteen fourth grade students and two of their teachers. Calls grow louder for stricter gun laws as we pray that the power of the gun lobby groups will not prevail where grieving and thoughtful people are questioning the right to bear arms, especially assault style firearms. May the power of God intervene to preserve life and safety and bring about reform. As we have just observed Reconciliation Week, California has introduced its first slave reparation report, documenting discrimination perpetuated by the state, and recommending steps to address the wrongs suffered there. California is the only state to implement a study and a plan. As we continue to pray for a more just settlement for our First Nations People, perhaps God is shining a light on four hundred years of discrimination there, and giving a useful direction for a more equitable future. US and its allies are pledging further aid and weapons to Ukraine in their struggle against Russian invaders. We continue to invoke our God of peace to over-rule and halt the invasion, and to inspire the meeting between the NATO chief and the US President to find a peaceful solution to this barbaric war. Hurricane Agatha has battered the coast of Mexico with strong winds and torrential rains, causing life-threatening flash floods and mud slides, the strongest hurricane to make landfall in May since record keeping began. Further storms are predicted, and we pray for fearful residents.

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