Saint Mary Mackillop, Day Five- A Woman of Compassion.

Day Five- A Woman of Compassion.

We place ourselves in the presence of God and Mary Mackillop.

Today we reflect on Mary, a Woman of Compassion.

“Help one another and bear with one another as God bears with each of us.”

Mary to the Sister on 7^th December 1899.

We read scripture, Romans 15:4-5.

Reflection;

Whatever troubles may be before you, accept them cheerfully, remembering whom you trying to follow. Do not be afraid. Love one another. Bear with one another, and let charity guide you in all your life.

The last typed letter of Mary Mackillop on 12^th January 1909 to the Sisters.

We now sit in silence and reflect on Mary’s words.

My Reflection;

Colossians 3:12, You are God’s chosen race, his saints, he loves you, and you should be clothed in sincere compassion, in kindness and humility, gentleness and patience.

Prayer;

God, blessed are they who put their trust in you, Psalm 2. Mary, teach Women of Faith and hope, what is needed to be Women of Compassion.
