A Reflection for Thy Kingdom Come 2025

Today, Archbishop Anne Germond invites us to reflect on the words: “Thy Kingdom Come.”

This reflection is drawn from the Thy Kingdom Come 2025 Prayer Journal, written by Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkin.

“‘Thy Kingdom Come’ is not about us and our human efforts. It is about the Holy Spirit working in us, to bring about a new Kingdom.”

Let us pray today for our Five—that they may know the transforming hope of Christ in their lives.
