Matariki 2025
Matariki is a public holiday for the fourth year. Here are some resources and reflections on how we might celebrate this.
Trinity Sunday 2025
Everliving God,
you have given to us your servants grace,
by the confession of a true faith,
to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity,
and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity;
may we, through the steadfastness of this faith,
evermore be defended from all adversities;
through Jesus Christ,
who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

O God,
on this day you taught the hearts of the faithful

may we, by the same Spirit, be truly wise
and ever rejoice in your consolation;

who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Graciously hear our prayer, O God,

of remaining with us always, to the end of the age;
through the same Jesus Christ,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Grant, we pray, O God,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Tender God,
cultivate the paschal mystery in us,
that those who flourish by the waters of sacred baptism
may be sheltered by your protection,
bear much fruit,

who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
