COLLECT SERIES.

COLLECT


The Collect for the 18th Sunday of Year C reads as follows:


We recognise with joy that You Lord created us,
and that You guide us by Your providence.
In Your unfailing kindness support us in our prayer
renew Your life within us,
guard it and make it bear fruit for eternity.
We make this prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ
who lives and reigns with Him and the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.

 REFLECTION QUESTIONS.


In making this prayer tangible for my life during the week, the following reflections questions emerged:

1. What can I do this week to recognise with joy/ greater joy that my Lord created me?
2. How will I support this joy by my actions? ( choose 1 action per day).
3. What does it mean to me to be guided by God's providence?
4. How will I live this truth in my life this coming week?
5. Feel support by God as you review your prayer life. Does it need an overhaul or some tweaking for greater spiritual growth?
6. Imagine each day being in Heaven.  Imagine God saying to you that these were the fruits that will continue in eternity.  What fruits will they be because you sowed the seeds this week.
