THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER
On Anzac Day* in April 2018, the headstone of a previous “unknown” soldier was unveiled at the Commonwealth Cemetery. His identity had been discovered and on this day his service was finally acknowledged and honoured.
How many saints serve tirelessly and anonymously without being seen of men but only of God? We owe much to these “unknowns”. One day they will be truly acknowledged and rewarded by our Father Who sees all.
At the Cathedral, there are several dear sisters and brothers who come to us and share how they want to contribute…
– flowers on worship days to show a little of God’s creative beauty for all to enjoy…
– paintings for worship areas that tell stories of His faithfulness…
– slipping some money to us to pass on to those in need…
They ask us not to let anyone know as they desire to show gratitude to God for what He has done in their hearts.
These are outward signs of the inward working of the Spirit. Praise God with us!
