Morning Prayer May 29th:

This morning we join Mary Tyrell of the Oblate Partners in Mission Team on the final day of our novena for vocations to the Oblate way of life and also the feast of Blessed Jospeh Gérard OMI, known as ‘the apostle of Lesotho’, and who is inspiring in his example of love, faith and perseverance in his missionary life and sharing of the Good News with all the world.

Jesus said, “Go out to the whole world, and proclaim the Good News to all creation.” As we pray for an increase in vocations to priesthood and religious life, we acknowledge too, that by virtue of our baptism, we are asked to answer Jesus’ call to share the good news with those in our daily lives and in the world around us. 

“We must love them in spite of everything. Love them always.” – Blessed Joseph Gérard OMI

Thank you for joining us in prayer over these past nine days. 

Saint Eugene de Mazenod, pray for us!

Blessed Joseph, pray for us!

Gospel Mark 11:27-33 ©

I will not tell you my authority for acting like this

Jesus and his disciples came to Jerusalem, and as Jesus was walking in the Temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, and they said to him, ‘What authority have you for acting like this? Or who gave you authority to do these things?’ Jesus said to them, ‘I will ask you a question, only one; answer me and I will tell you my authority for acting like this. John’s baptism: did it come from heaven, or from man? Answer me that.’ And they argued it out this way among themselves: ‘If we say from heaven, he will say, “Then why did you refuse to believe him?” But dare we say from man?’ – they had the people to fear, for everyone held that John was a real prophet. So their reply to Jesus was, ‘We do not know.’ And Jesus said to them, ‘Nor will I tell you my authority for acting like this.’
