Morning Prayer with the Oblates: Monday August 1st

With Mary Ryan

The feeding of the 5,000 is one of the best known gospel stories, showing Jesus’ care for the whole person, body as well soul. It seems so human and natural to feed the hungry but we also realize there are so many who don’t have access to adequate food.

Jesus replied, ‘There is no need for them to go: give them something to eat yourselves.’

We join Mary In Quex Road for our morning prayer today. Thank you for praying with us.
