Morning Prayer with the Oblate Family: Tuesday August 16th

With Kirk Jacob in Lourdes

Good morning friends, today we join Kirk Jacob of the Oblate Partners in Mission Team in Lourdes for morning prayer. The theme of today’s prayer is the invitation to be an ‘Anawim’.

The anawim of the Old Testament were the poor of every sort: the vulnerable, the marginalized, and socio-economically oppressed, those of lowly status without earthly power. In fact, they depended totally on God for whatever they owned. The Hebrew word anawim (inwetan) means those who are bowed down.

“Jesus said to his disciples, ‘I tell you solemnly, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 19:23-30

Thank you for joining us this morning.
