Week Beginning Monday 11th November 2013 Marie Madeleine and the FCJ Values
Wednesday 13th November 2013 Gentleness “A quality which helps us to keep a calm spirit, a peaceful heart, and control in our words and gestures, even when the circumstances seem to call forth, or at least justify, an explosion of displeasure or anger.” Adapted from Mère Josephine Petit fcJ/Mère Marie de BussyfcJ As you read this quote, how could it help you today?
Let us pray: Generous God, you blessed this world with the life, faith and example of Marie Madeleine, and inspired her to begin the FCJ community. As we thank you for her we pray for the FCJ family across the world. In this time of celebration and remembrance, give us the courage and strength to be faithful companions of Jesus, too, through the way we choose to live, the words we choose to say, the actions we choose to share, and the attitude we choose to take. Amen. prepared by Jonathan Leach, former Lay Chaplain at Bellerive FCJ Catholic College, Liverpool
