Morning prayer with the Oblates, Easter Friday, April 22nd

Good morning dear friends, we invite you to join Fr Michael Brady OMI in St Michael’s Parish, Inchicore, Dublin for our short morning prayer.

Easter lasts 50 days, longer than Lent. Lent invites us to correct ourselves. As we continue to celebrate Easter, we could consider that this season of Easter deserves just as much of our efforts as Lent.

“I didn’t come to be served, I came to serve.”

Jesus presents himself meek and humble of heart as he serves the labourers breaksfast. Serving others with simplicity and gentleness can often go unperceived. The apostles recognised Jesus after he asked them to put out their nets for a catch.

In John’s gospel he wrote, “Love is this – it is not what we do for God, it is what he does for us.”

Friends, thank you for joining and praying with us today.
