Margaret Queen of Scotland, who died on this day in 1093.

                                                                                  Psalm 89:14

Right-eous-ness & justice are the foundations of your throne; 

love & truth go before your face.

     Margaret, 

     the mother of 

     8 children, 

     and her husband 

     Malcolm rebuilt 

     the monastery  

     at Iona. 

     (The wild goose is the symbol of the Holy Spirit at Iona.) 

 pray for the ecumenical community

at Iona, their life together & their commitment to justice & peace; for the people of Scotland. Pray also for for all married people, for the work of women in the church as well as in society, & for mothers the world over.
