Good morning! We invite you to join Pádraig Corcoran, Oblate Youth Worker for today’s prayer on the morning of Advent.
“And you, little child,
you shall be called Prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord
to prepare the way for him.” – Luke 1 67-79
On this Christmas Eve, how can we prepare a way for Jesus? Each one of us is preparing the way to welcome the child Jesus into the world, into our hearts. Our words, our actions, are all ways we can welcome the child Jesus and the true meaning and spirit of Christmas.
We thank you for praying with us this morning.

Oblates exercise very diverse ministries but above all seek to dedicate themselves to the poor and abandoned. One can thus find Oblates in Britain and Ireland working in parishes, in missionary formation, preaching, social justice and pastoral ministries, or prisons. “No ministry is alien to us as long as we never lose sight of the main purpose of the Congregation: the evangelization of the most abandoned.” ~ Oblate Constitutions and Rules.
