Friends we join Fr Liam once more for our Oblate Family morning prayer from Inchicore on Thursday December 15th, the third week of Advent. Jesus says that John was more than a prophet and gives him the highest of praise, but he then makes him most and most amazing declaration that at least in the...

Friends, good morning. We join Fr Liam Griffin OMI in the Oblate Community Chapel, Inchicore for our prayer. John the Baptist is a one of the central figures of the Gospel during Advent.

Good morning friends, we join Frankie MacDonald, a member of the Oblate Lourdes Pilgrimage team, in Scotland for today’s time of prayer and reflection together. “Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people, ‘What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He went and said to the first, “My boy, you...

Good morning friends, we join Frankie MacDonald in Scotland for today’s time of prayer and reflection together. The chief priests in today’s gospel had lost sight of the good that Jesus was doing. They were so caught up in their own importance that they failed to see the good under their very noses. Jesus challenges...

Jesus was born outside of the city, outside of a hospital, outside of a normal house. The Gospels tell us he was born in a stable, outside the city because there was no room for them in the inn. We have always vilified the infamous innkeeper who turned Mary and Joseph away, and the lesson...

Good morning friends, we join Lorraine Lorenzo in St Michael’s Parish, Inchicore. It is not always easy to live a life that stays true to our conscience. Sometimes, we will have to suffer rebukes and get rejected even by our families and friends. Yet, Jesus reassures us that a great reward will be given to...

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to morning prayer with Mary Murphy, from the Legion of Mary, on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Mary.
