Water. When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood..." Mt 27:24 How often are we like Pilate, washing our hands of a situation and the responsibility to change it? How often have we washed our hands and walked away, because it's easier and less complicated. Because it appeases the majority even though we know it's not the right thing to do? #water #oyalentchallenge #oya #oblateyouth #oblateyouthaustralia
Still. "Be still and know that I am God." As we journey through Holy Week we may feel a lot of emotions. I always get this kind of nervous energy, it's like excitement and fear all rolled into one. I get fidgety and restless. I get it at other times too. When I've been planning for a big event, before I leave on an overseas trip, the hospital waiting room. In these moments, I take a little trick I learned from the one and only Sr. Hilda. I stop and sit and take a few deep breaths. Then I reflect on these words: "Be still and know that I am God". NB. This little meditation works best by the ocean, if you can swing it 😄 #still #bestillandknowthatiamgod #oyalentchallenge #oya #oblateyouthaustralia #oblateyouth #oblates #omi #omiworld
Who Am I? Daughter, sister, aunty, friend, godmother, goddaughter, cousin, coordinator, worker, colleague, volunteer, music lover, amateur flower arranger, traveler, catholic. There's lots of roles or identities that we take on in our lives. But at what point of the list do we place our faith? #whoami #oyalentchallenge #oya #oblateyouthaustralia #oblateyouth #oblates #omi #omiworld

Joy. Today's word is "joy", so naturally I couldn't go past posting a shameless selfie of me and Vance Joy. I mean...it's in the name. In all seriousness though, music is a massive part of my life and brings me endless amounts of joy. It's my favourite way to pray and where I most encounter God. #joy #oyalentchallenge #oya #oblateyouthaustralia #oblateyouth #oblates #omi #omiworld
