Morning Prayer May 22nd: Second Day of the Novena for Vocations With Fr Irvin Morastil & Fr Christopher O’Leary
Prayer for May 22nd
In 1939, the first Oblate Missionaries arrived in the Philippines, today we are honoured to be joined by Fr Christopher O’Leary OMI, originally from Inchicore, who has been serving as a Missionary Oblate in the Philippines for 52 years… and counting!!
Enjoy this time of prayer and reflection on the second day of our novena for vocations, introduced this morning by Fr Irvin, a missionary oblate from the Philippines, now serving here in the Oblate Parish of St Mary’s in Leith, Scotland.

This disciple is the one who vouches for these things and we know that his testimony is true
Peter turned and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them – the one who had leaned on his breast at the supper and had said to him, ‘Lord, who is it that will betray you?’ Seeing him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘What about him, Lord?’ Jesus answered, ‘If I want him to stay behind till I come, what does it matter to you? You are to follow me.’ The rumour then went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus had not said to Peter, ‘He will not die’, but, ‘If I want him to stay behind till I come.’
This disciple is the one who vouches for these things and has written them down, and we know that his testimony is true.
There were many other things that Jesus did; if all were written down, the world itself, I suppose, would not hold all the books that would have to be written.
