Amidst the bustle of life, Fr Anthony encourages prayerful meditation.

“The Peace Prayer reveals God as relational, artistic, and loving.

How does God’s character, His longing to use us as His instruments, and the fact that He equips us with His Spirit, change the way you typically think about God?

Why does God invite us to be His instruments?

How does God equip us to respond so that we can, in the end, be His instruments?

Though Eric Liddell of ‘Chariots of Fire’ described running in a race as hard – it takes “concentration of will, energy of soul” – he felt God’s pleasure when he ran.

In what area(s) of your life, no matter how great or small, do you feel God’s pleasure?”

How does this edify your service of the sick and poor and defence of our Faith?

All members, candidates, volunteers, family, and friends are welcome to share the online formation series, “An Hour of Reflection with a Chaplain” of the Order of Malta.
