The Feast of Saint Mary MacKillop
Our focus quote for this week from Saint Mary MacKillop is ‘find happiness in making others happy’. This quote embodies the life that Mary MacKillop led, always putting others before herself. I think this one is very clear in what Mary MacKillop is asking us to do. Consider what you can do for someone else, to bring joy into their lives.
Happiness is contagious, happy people make other people happy. There is scientific evidence to support this quote from Mary MacKillop. Bringing happiness to other people becomes a cycle and our kindness can promote lasting happiness.
Given the current circumstances we face today as a nation and across the world, making others happy seems like a small task. It can be as simple as a smile, saying thank you, going out of your way for someone, cooking someone a meal or just reminding someone that they are special and loved. What can you do this week to make others happy?
