PLEASE PRAY for our leaders and for those that report the news to us. Help them to serve the world and to find creative ways though thorny issues of ideology and dogma. Please pray for us as consumers of news – that we can be wise and see through sensationalism and appreciate genuine positive intent to serve and create a better
world. And as our schools break-­up for the summer, please pray that holidays will be restful and full of love and fun and that our loved ones will return safely to us.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Mark 6, 30-­34, 53-­end
In the chaos of our busy lives, help us to know when to stop and stay to listen, to trust and to be healed by our risen and living Lord.
