REDESIGNING OUR PRESENCES Continental Meeting for Asia-Oceania (10-20 September 2009) Morning Prayer

The words of Fr. Alberione 10 September The Pauline Cart Our cart has four wheels – spirit, apostolate, study, poverty - and all must be equally balanced. If the cart is to move ahead, everyone must push it. No one should stand on the side, watching and judging. Everyone must push the cart with all her strength. (FSP 46, 4)

If we live by the truth and in love, we shall grow completely into Christ, who is the head by whom the whole Body is fitted and joined together, every joint adding its own strength, for each individual part to work according to its function. So the body grows until it has built itself up in love. (Eph. 4:15-16) The Word of God

Resonances

Prayer Jesus Master, you are the Way and the Truth and the Life, the Resurrection, our one and supreme Good. We trust in you alone who said: “Whatever you ask the Father in my name, you will receive it.” For our part, we promise and commit ourselves to seeking wholeheartedly in all things, in life and in the apostolate, only and always your glory and peace to all peoples. According to your immense goodness and the needs of our special vocation, multiply the fruits of our spiritual work, of our study, of our apostolate and of our poverty. We do not doubt you, but we fear our inconstancy and weakness. Therefore, good Master, through the intercession of Mary, our Mother, extend to us the mercy you used with the Apostle Paul so that, faithful in imitating our Father here on earth, we may be his companions in the glory in heaven.
