Day Four- A
Woman of Action
We
place ourselves in the presence of God and Mary Mackillop.
Today
we reflect on Mary, a Woman of Action.
We
read scripture, Luke 4:18.
“Tis
true, I only see to serve God in the care of the little ones of his flock, and
that for this I have forsaken all that bound me to earth.”
Mary
to her mother Flora on 21st August 1867.
We
read scripture, Colossians 3:16-17.
Let
the message of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you. Teach each
other, and advise each other, in all wisdom. With gratitude in your hearts sing
psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God; and never say or do anything except
in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
We
now sit in silence and allow the words in Colossians 3:16-17, speak to us.
Prayer:
May
Mary, teach us to trust in God that we too can be Women of Action, Women like
trees, planted beside the flowing waters, yielding fruit in due season and
leaves never fading. Whatever actions we take, know all we do we shall prosper.
Trust in God, in his words, for great things can happen on earth, for the
Kingdom.
Amen.
