Prayer 

 | August 8 was the Feast Day of Mary MacKillop |

God of the Dreaming, you show yourself to us in dreamers, seers, and prophets.

We thank you for all those who, like Mary MacKillop, have helped us to see the possibilities for our country and its people.

As we struggle to realise our dreams for a just, compassionate world, may we witness to our world the true meaning of fair play and care for the oppressed.

Help us to uphold the importance of spiritual realities.

We pray that we will cherish particularly, the gifts of the indigenous peoples of our lands, and those new to our shores.

Teach us that, in the richness and strength of our diversity, lie our possibilities for becoming one. 

Amen
