SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
Love As He Loves
Most people are searching for happiness, but if happiness becomes the sole goal of our search, it is often missed. Jesus suggests that happiness comes to those who seek something else. Happiness comes to those who seek to serve others, or, as Jesus declares, it is in giving that we receive. The action of Jesus in washing the feet of his disciples suggests that our service of others is not to be dependent on how they relate to us. At the Last Supper, Jesus washed the feet of all his disciples, including Judas. Jesus washed the feet of the one who rebelled against him. As Jesus declares in Luke’s Gospel, ‘If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?’ Jesus gives expression to a much more self-emptying kind of love. He calls us to live in the same way and gives us the Holy Spirit to help us to love as he loves. Martin Hogan, The Word of God is Living and Active
We remember at this time...
International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month are about all the women we know who are braver than we think we could ever be. They don’t expect recognition or awards. They quietly fight for freedom for others and work tirelessly for peace in the world. Too often, they go unrecognised for the hard work and effort they put into their projects, while others take the credit.
Let us be inspired by these women. When we feel paralysed by discomfort or fear, let us pray for the courage to overcome. May we allow ourselves to be led by the Spirit of God so that we can reach the potential to which we have been called.
