Different Nations. One Lord. One Mission.

St Francis Day


Mountain goats, wild donkeys, an ostrich with questionable parenting skills—and a rich man who discovers that bigger barns do not guarantee a bigger life.


This week’s readings remind us that creation belongs to God, possessions are gifts rather than trophies, and the richest life is lived with open hands.


Perhaps St Francis was onto something.

This Week’s Readings —Blessing of the Animals


These readings ask a deceptively simple question: Do we receive life as God’s gift—or treat it as our possession?


Job 39:1–18: God describes a creation that is gloriously wild, surprising and beyond human control. The mountain goat, wild donkey, ox and even the wonderfully peculiar ostrich do not exist merely for our convenience. Creation belongs first to God—and not everything God made was designed to behave sensibly at a church meeting.


Psalm 121: Our security does not come from controlling everything around us. Our help comes from “the maker of heaven and earth,” who watches over our going out and our coming in.


Acts 4:32–35; 5:1–11: The first Christians understand their possessions as gifts to be shared, so that no one among them is left in need. Ananias and Sapphira want the appearance of generosity without its costly truth. Their story warns that discipleship cannot be built upon pretence.


Luke 12:13–21: The rich man keeps building larger barns, believing that abundance will make him secure. His mistake is not that his land produces well, but that his world contains only himself: my crops, my barns, my goods, my soul. He has accumulated much, but has forgotten God and neighbour.


On the feast of St Francis, these readings invite us to live with open hands: delighting in creation without believing we own it, receiving what we need without hoarding, and sharing so that others may flourish. The good life is not measured by how much we manage to keep. It is found in gratitude, honesty and generosity—in becoming rich toward God.

"The enemy is amazingly proficient at telling you who are not and what you cannot do. God is constantly telling you who you are and what you can do."

God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be. -- Brennan Manning

Prayer for Discipleship


God of love,
source of mercy and compassion,
weave your dream for the world
into the fabric of our lives. 

Remove the scales from our eyes
and lift the indifference from our hearts,
so that we may see your vision –
a new reign of justice and compassion
that will renew the earth.


Transform our lives,
so that we may accomplish your purpose.

Anoint us with your spirit of love

that we might bring good news to the oppressed,
bind up the brokenhearted,
and proclaim release to the captive.


Give us a new urgency
and a new commitment
to feed the hungry,
clothe the naked,
shelter the homeless,
and visit those who live in isolation.


Help us to reach out to those
whom no one else will touch,
to accept the unacceptable,
and to embrace the enemy.


Surround us with your love,
fill us with your grace,
and strengthen us for your service.


Empower us to respond to the call of Jesus –
to deny ourselves,
to take up our crosses,
and to follow.


Make us your disciples.

Amen
