May we all, like Mary MacKillop, seek out for one and for all the inexpressible riches of Christ.
Homily for the Solemnity of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop, (Monday in the Nineteenth Week of Ordinary Time), delivered in Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, Gladstone, Qld.
"And then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, 'Up and go to Zarephath, a Sidonian town, and stay there. I have ordered a widow there to give you food.’ So he went off to Sidon. And when he reached the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks; Elijah said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, go and do as you have said; but first make a little scone of it for me and bring it to me, and then make some for yourself and for your son. For thus the Lord speaks, 'Jar of meal shall not be spent, jug of oil shall not be emptied, before the day when the Lord sends
rain on the face of the earth.' The woman went and did as Elijah told her and they ate the food, she, himself and her son. The jar of meal was not spent nor the jug of oil emptied, just as the Lord had foretold through Elijah." (1 Kgs 17:8-16).
"My soul clings to you; your right hand holds me fast." (Ps 63).
"You are God’s chosen race, his saints; he loves you, and you should be clothed in sincere compassion, in kindness and humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with one another; forgive each other as soon as a quarrel begins. The Lord has forgiven you; now you must do the same. Over all these clothes, to keep them together and complete them, put on love. And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were called together as parts of one body. Always be thankful. Let the message of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you. Teach each other, and advise each other, in all wisdom. With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God; and never say or do anything except in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Col 3:12-17).
"Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I am telling you not to worry... Look at the birds in the sky; think of the flowers growing in the fields... Set your hearts on his kingdom first, and on his righteousness, and all these other things will be given you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’" (Mt 6:25-34).
