Marina Middelplaats writes
One Friday night in January 1899 an elderly woman accompanied by 3 nuns arrived unannounced in Wellington. They had funds totalling 2s 6d (25 cents) with them. The Mt. Cook cottage they had arranged to rent was locked, and there was no key to be found. They ended up spending the night at the home of a sympathetic woman who lived nearby. It was not a promising start. Read more »

This Month's Prayer

Daily Reflections

Tuesday 7 September 2010
1 Cor. 6:1-11; Ps.149; Luke 6:12- 19

Jesus came with them
Jesus has spent a night praying in the hills. He chooses and names twelve apostles. In the hearts of the Twelve, there is a gradual awareness of being called, drawn deeper into Jesus’ companionship and mission which began at the lakeside. Now, they become more ready to leave all, in order to be with Jesus. Imagine Jesus inviting you to be with him, as you live your life. How does he invite you? How do you respond? Pray slowly: Loving Lord, may I see you more clearly, love you more dearly, follow you more nearly day by day.
