Morning Prayer With the Oblate Family – Monday June 12th

With Fr Terry in Kilburn

Friends, good morning and welcome to morning prayer with Fr Terry in Kilburn:

“I was struck by the description of Jesus climbing the hill, sitting amidst the crowd, and how He began to talk. That was the message of this gospel. As we go about our daily tasks this day, let us be open to Jesus.”

Matthew 5:1-12:
Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up the hill. There he sat down and was joined by his disciples. Then he began to speak. This is what he taught them:

‘How happy are the poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Happy the gentle: they shall have the earth for their heritage.
Happy those who mourn: they shall be comforted.
Happy those who hunger and thirst for what is right: they shall be satisfied.
Happy the merciful: they shall have mercy shown them.
Happy the pure in heart: they shall see God.
Happy the peacemakers: they shall be called sons of God.
Happy those who are persecuted in the cause of right: theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ‘Happy are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven: this is how they persecuted the prophets before you.’

The Gospel of the Lord.

Thank you for joining us this morning.
