Morning Prayer With the Oblate Family, Saturday April 2nd With Gemma Maclean
Good morning, today we invite you to join Gemma Maclean, a member of the Oblate parish of St Joseph’s, Colwyn Bay in North Wales for our time of reflection and prayer together. Gemma reflects on the theme of Jesus’ entering into Jersualem on Palm Sunday, a day which is fast approaching this Lent, where in the space of just a few days, the crowds went from welcoming Jesus to condeming him. Have we felt like that in our own lives?
Join Gemma as she prays the prayer of Saint Francis:
Lord make Me an instrument of Your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness joy.
O Divine master grant that I may Not so much seek
to be consoled as to console
To be understood, as to understand.
To be loved. as to love
For it’s in giving that we receive
And it’s in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it’s in dying that we are born…
To eternal life. Amen.
