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.

A Prayer for Peace

Almighty God,
we pray for Your mercy in the midst of strife and war.
Where nations face violence and retaliation, grant wisdom to leaders,
comfort to the fearful, relief to the suffering, and protection to the innocent.
Strengthen and uphold families living in fear and uncertainty.
Turn the hearts of all peoples from violence to reconciliation,
that Your peace may prevail in the Middle East and throughout the world;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
