‘God, Heal Us as we are Vulnerable’.
Asia Sunday is observed every year on the Sunday before Pentecost. This year it will be observed on 24 May.
Member churches and councils of the Christian Conference of Asia (CCA), as well as churches and ecumenical partners around the world, observe Asia Sunday annually as an occasion to offer special prayers and organise worship services with focus on the Asia Sunday theme.
"The world is facing an unprecedented situation today due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The outbreak of COVID-19 is as a loud wake-up call for all countries on our planet. in the times of this crisis." The CCA General Secretary, Dr Mathews George Chunakara, states in his introduction to this year's Asia Sunday theme.
The CCA encourages all member churches and councils of CCA as well as the ecumenical partners and churches around the world to offer prayers in the coming days, particularly on 24 May. A special liturgy has been produced by the CAA to assist with this.
"As we continue to have faith and trust in God’s love for humankind and divine power to heal, let us continue to pray for health, recovery, and healing.
May God hear our prayers, and heal all those who are suffering from illness at times of vulnerability." says Dr Chunakara.
Heal us, O Lord, and we shall be healed,
save us and we shall be saved, for you are our praise. (Jeremiah 17:14)
