16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reflection

Lord, I place myself in your presence. After the strain and turmoil of the day, I rest quietly here as a little boat, which as been tossed by the waves and buffeted by the wind, rests secure in a sheltered harbour. Here my projects lose their power over me. A healing process begins. My fragmented self is reassembled and I a made whole again. In your presence, I experience my true worth, which consists not in doing but in being. I surrender myself into your hands. I am at peace.

Congratulations! 

We congratulate Father Augustine who has been ordained priest alongside eight other Salesians in Nigeria. Let's keep Fr Augustine in our prayers in this very special and joyful time.
