The sisters and Good Shepherd partners of the Province of Singapore/Malaysia would like to offer you our prayers and support as you take up your role in Congregational Leadership Team. And during these days of your meetings and planning...
“May the gift of leadership awaken in you as a vocation, Keeping you mindful of the providence that calls you to serve.
As high over the mountains the eagle spreads its wings, May your perspective be larger than the view from the foothills.
When the way is flat and full in times of gray endurance, May your imagination continue to evoke horizons.
When thirst burns in times of drought, May you be blessed to find the wells.
May you have the wisdom to read time clearly And know when the seed of change will flourish.
In your heart may there be a sanctuary For the stillness where clarity is born.
May your soul find the graciousness To rise above the fester of small mediocrities.
May you welcome your own vulnerability As the ground where healing and truth join.
May integrity of soul be your first ideal, The source that will guide and bless your work. And may your work be infused with passion and creativity”

We hold each of you close to our hearts with love and gratitude for your fidelity and compassion in the mission and for carrying out your responsibility with joy. As you tread new mission pathways, may you open your arms wide to embrace the winds of blessing, challenge and opportunity that the angels bring. Today, we pray that you may enter into the newness that is ahead of you and be enfolded in the gifts of the angels...
May the angels in their beauty bless you, And turn toward you streams of blessing.
May the angel of awakening stir your heart To come alive to the eternal within you, To all the invitations that quietly surround you.
May the angel of imagination enable you To stand on unimagined thresholds, And be drawn in new directions that birth life.
May all the angels be your sheltering and joyful guardians as you allow them to take your hand and lead you.

“Never reproach anyone about natural defects, for example, that they are poor, not very bright intellectually or poorly educated. Try to think well of everybody, avoiding rash judgements. Have great esteem for each other.”
