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

The words of Fr. Alberione 18 September God works in the Body The government of the Institute does not only command and impose. It sums up thoughts and suggestions, reflects on them and prays over them, and then makes decisions. Thus the will of God is more easily discovered, and at the same time, if each member feels the duty of making her contribution to the Institute, she will become more responsible, will work more willingly, and will also accept the things prescribed because she knows that they have been well examined. It is necessary to give great importance to the members of the Institute. I repeat, the Holy Spirit works in the Body (Exp. Const., p. 295).

The Word of God Just as each of us has various parts in one body, and the parts do not all have the same function, in the same way all of us, though there are so many of us, make up one body in Christ, and as different parts we are all joined to one another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us (Rm. 12:4-6). The gifts God gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ (Eph. 4:11-13).

Resonances

Preghiera Jesus, Master and Shepherd, who brought from heaven the fire of your love, give us your heart. Inflame us with desire for the glory of God and with great love for our brothers and sisters. Make us sharers in your apostolate. Live in us so that we may radiate you in word, in suffering, in pastoral action, and in the example of a good life. We offer you ourselves as docile and faithful sheep so as to become worthy of cooperating in your pastoral mission in the Church. Dispose all minds and hearts to receive your grace. Come, divine Shepherd, guide us; may there soon be one flock and one Shepherd. Prayer
