Saint Mary Mackillop, Day Three- A Woman of Courage


Day Three- A Woman of Courage.

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

We read from Scripture, Psalms 31:24

“Courage, then, my much-loved Sisters. Work on bravely…. hopefully. Do not give way to fears and anxieties. Remember there is even a day of bright reward for all your prayers and faithful perseverance.

Mary to the Sisters on 5th June 1874.

We read from scripture, John 14:27.

Reflection:

My Reflection:

I answered the questions.

Stepping out with courage is daunting and hard. Remember how brave and strong we can be. Right now, it feels like we are in a cocoon, having to isolate, living with restrictions, maybe we are in a similar situation as the Hungry Caterpillar, who remembers that book? My children read it all the time and recently my son had to do some homework relating to the Hungry Caterpillar, who built a cocoon as a home and grew into a beautiful rainbow butterfly. Let us take this time to grow in hope, gain courage, confidence and faith in God, and in the world, that it will become a better place.

Prayer:

We pray to be Women of Faith and Hope, Women of Courage, strength and Bravery.

Amen
