SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
God is Embracing Each Of Us
Christ is risen in us. Sometimes we’re too busy doing to see this truth. But when we do, when we realise that God truly is in all things and embracing each of us, then we change our posture and disposition. We desire to make ourselves available to this God of love and compassion. We desire to manifest God’s will.
And so, our hands stop doing for the sake of doing, and we are put at the disposal of God’s dream. We allow God’s spirit to work through our hands – our very bodies – humbly and patiently, as we discern our unique place in God’s dream. Our hands learn to do the Lord’s work as we enter more deeply into the mystery of God’s very self.
Eric Clayton, The Sacred Heart Messenger, September 2023
We remember at this time...
November is a month when we remember all those who have died – our loved ones, those who have touched our lives through the media, and those who have lost their lives through war, famine, or tragedy. In some countries, families gather in the graveyard for a picnic, celebrating the lives of those who have died, on All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days. They share stories, laughter, and the favourite foods of their loved ones – a joyful remembrance that keeps their spirit alive.
Lord, give us the grace to remember with love and joy all who have died.
May we cherish their memory and honour their lives.
We also pray for those who have no one to remember them – that they may rest in your eternal peace. Amen.
