Taken from: Give Us This Day
That we respond as Mary did.
Marists living and working in the Africa region.
Marist Source
We are prophets for the young people announcing to them that life in itself is wonderful, that it is worth the pain to fight to build a better world. We encourage them to be critical of the society that surrounds them and invite them to commit themselves to transforming that dream into reality.
Be sensitive to those among us who, like Mary, experience deep sorrow.
That we respond as Mary did.
Marists living and working in the Africa region.
To Ponder
'For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.' What do my words say about me?
Where has the Spirit drawn you in today's prayer?
Closing Prayer
All Loving God
Cultivate in us a spirituality that flows out of Marian simplicity, humility and modesty.
Release in us wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration and excitement for your work in which we share.
Help us set our gaze on those people and places most in need of Christlife,
Impel us to respond together,
And lead us to be in communion with one another, and with you.
Like Mary, we listen for your invitation,
Like Mary, we set out joyfully and in haste to the hill country of the lives of young people,
Like Mary, we build communities in ways that are Christ-centred.
All Loving God, come and live in our hearts.
Amen
