A Magdala Grove is made up of seven women who resolve to offer up their daily sacrifices to
provide prayer support for a priest, deacon, or ministry leader laboring in the Lord's Vineyard.
Each of the seven adopts one day of the week in a spirit of receptivity, taking the day as it comes and praying it back to the Lord. She might offer a holy hour or she might get a holy five minutes. She may make it through a Rosary or she might get interrupted halfway through a Hail Mary. She could choose to fast or she could end up with a cold cup of coffee and her toddler's leftovers. What she offers is less important than the spirit in which she offers it.Â
So it doesn't matter if you're a stay-at-home mom or empty-nester, single, married or widowed, struggling with infertility or overwhelmed by more kids than you can handle, traveling the world or homebound, living your best life or stuck in a job you hate. When you are in a hidden season, buried deeply in the soil and tucked away where no one but God can see, consider your life a seed, bearing fruit and providing welcome shade to those unprotected in the blazing sun of ministry.
