Women Heroes in the Bible 
There are some very powerful stories about women in both the Old and the New Testaments. Queen Esther, Deborah and Judith were ‘Women of Wisdom’ who were both courageous and faithful. 
Deborah was one of the judges of Israel and is the only female judge mentioned in the Bible.  Judges settled disputes, gave sincere and honest leadership, and commanded armies when it was necessary. 
Queen Esther saved her people when her people were in danger and begged her husband, the king to spare them. This was a risk to her own life.
Prayer
Think about the women in your life who are strong, wise and courageous, even in the most unassuming of ways. Offer a prayer of thanks for knowing and learning from such a great human being.

The Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary - 8 September
Today we give thanks for the birth of Mary, the mother of Jesus. She is also a mother to all who follow Jesus, and a mother to the Church.
​People of every nation and language honour Mary. They have given her many titles of respect. Scripture does not give an account of Mary’s birth; however the Church has celebrated Mary’s birth since at least the sixth century.
Prayer
Here is a Mary prayer composed of only a few words.
'Mary, Mother of us all, give me strength' (or wisdom, patience, generosity — whatever spiritual gift you need at this time.) Use different titles for Mary such as Gentle Woman, Woman of Faith, Star of the Sea.

Saint Peter Claver (1581-1654) – his feast day falls on Saturday 9th September  
Peter Claver was born in Spain and went to Colombia in South America as a missionary to serve the African slaves who had been taken there to be sold in the New World. For years he would meet the ships and bring food and medicine to the slaves, who were herded out in chains to be sold like animals. Peter preached to them of their own goodness and of God’s love for them. Not only was Saint Peter Claver’s life built on the solid rock of belief in God’s love, but he passed that on to those he served. He was canonised in 1888
Prayer Dear Jesus, please help those who are currently persecuted to feel and know your love for them. Help me to recognise opportunities to show others your compassion and love.

RUOK Day
For students, learning how to support their peers and talk about how they feel is an important life lesson, so where better to start than in the classroom? These resources for primary, secondary and tertiary institutions will help students everywhere start a conversation.

Blessings
When we bless God, we praise and thank God. ​When we ask for God's blessing, we ask for God’s kindness and favour, trusting in God's response.
Try beginning or concluding the day with a simple blessing.
​May our God of Hope fill us with joy. Amen
May the peace of Christ guide our way. Amen
May the Spirit of wisdom inform our thoughts. Amen
May God keep us from all harm.  Amen
