Parish Priest
Lord Jesus Christ,
Bless all mothers,
that they may be strengthened
as Christian mothers
and nurturers.
Let the example of their
faith and love shine forth.
Grant that we,
their sons and daughters,
honour them always with
a spirit of profound respect.
Amen
The Ascension of the Lord
“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature”
Mark 16:15
Reflections by Father Paul Beukes OMI
In the Ascension story from Acts, the apostles were told to stop looking up into the sky and to set their sight on the ends of the earth, where they were to give witness to Christ. Like those early followers of Jesus, we are called to refocus our vision to see Christ's continuing presence in the world around us. In doing so we are to take up our commission to be his witnesses in every community and nation, in every time and situation. As living members of Christ’s body, we bring his presence and love through our service to others.

Prayer for Elections
Lord, we the people of South Africa and all who live here, thank and praise you for your inexhaustible love and the graces of healing and peace you continually offer to us as people.
As South Africa prepares for the elections on May 29, send us your Holy Spirit to form the consciences of the voters according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, so that leaders may be elected who aspire for the common good of all people, and have the fear of the Lord in their hearts.
Mary, Mother of Peace, we pray for peace in our world; make us peacemakers.
Amen
