As Christians, one of our instinctive, and very sound, responses, is to turn to God in prayer. We are disciples of the one who told us to ask, to seek and to knock, believing that in doing so God would respond (cf Matt 7:7). We have been, are, and will continue to be people of prayer for the needs of our world, whether that world be our family, our neighborhood, our fellow Australians or people we have never met on the other side of the world.

In his 2022 Easter Message, Perth Auxiliary Bishop Don Sproxton says that the experience of Jesus, in facing his death and eventually succumbing and dying, touches on the deepest of questions we all must face.
