Thought for the week from Mothers Union Australia
Sunday 9th August 2026 - A time to reflect

‘Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.’ (Exodus 20:8)

One of the great gifts that the Bible gives us is the concept of a weekly rest, not only for ourselves but for all who work for us. We certainly need such a time for physical, mental and spiritual renewal and refreshment. It is wise, therefore, not to so fill it with things to do that we cannot think about the great works of God in creation and salvation and our own part in them. It is good also to consider how we can bless others, not least by meeting with our fellow believers to worship the living God and to love one another.

Question for thought: Is a weekly day of rest part of my schedule?

Loving Lord we bring before you members in the Diocese of Masindi Kitara in Uganda. As they care for families and communities in many ways may they share the comfort and hope of knowing you. We also pray for the Diocese of North Queensland and for Kristi Day as Diocesan President. May members grow in their love and knowledge of you. Amen.

Thought for the Week from Mothers Union Australia
Sunday May 24th 2026
Establishment and fruitfulness

‘As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning’ (Acts 11;15)

The Apostle Peter said these words after he had preached the gospel of Jesus to the Gentiles for the first time. He was thinking back to the miracle of Pentecost when he and the other Apostles were given the Holy Spirit as a blessing of the new covenant which had come. Now the question was, would the non-Jewish peoples of the world receive the same blessing, the same mark of acceptance by God? And the answer was Yes! The Holy Spirit comes to all who put their faith in Christ. What a wonderful gift from God.

Question for thought: How do I know that I have received the Holy Spirit?

Heavenly Father, we pray for the Women’s Fellowship in North and South India which is affiliated with Mothers Union and especially the Dioceses of Agra and Karnataka. We give thanks for their willingness to reach out to their local communities to care for the vulnerable women and girls in your name. We pray too, for the Diocese of Central Queensland (Rockhampton) and for Sue Witten as President. Bless their times of fellowship and their ministry as they reach out in the many aspects of parish and community life. Amen.
