KARAKIA
Time unknown
Members, because it’s Māori Language Week, I’ve asked Joanne Hayes to say the prayer for us today.
Time unknown
E te Atua. Whakapāho ai tō wairua ki runga i te mata o te whenua, ki te kare o ngā wai katoa. Tukuna mai e koe tō ringa matau hei pai mō mātou i tēnei Wiki o te Reo Māori. Tō Wairua Tapu hei whakakamārama i a mātou o tēnei Whare. Tukuna ngā tātai o ō mātou hinengaro kia ū ai ngā kupu o te tika, te pono me te aroha. Āmine.
[Lord almighty. Announce your spirit on the land, on the waves of all bodies of water. Send us your right hand to do good this Māori Language Week, and your Holy Spirit to explain to us of this House. Send the thoughts of our minds so that they may be infused with words of right, of truth, and of love. Amen.]
