Morning Prayer with the Oblates: Thursday August 19th

With Gerard Bennett

We join Gerard Bennett in his home in Ireland’s midlands. Gerard is part of the Oblate Lourdes Pilgrimage Leadership Team.

This morning we take some time to think about how the Lord invites us continually to enter into a relationship with him. He never gives up on inviting us. Whether we accept that invitation is up to us, he does not force us. When it comes to our relationship with God, do I make some time for prayer or am I sometimes too busy?

‘Jesus began to speak to them in parables once again.  “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a feast for his Son’s wedding.  He sent his servants to call those who had been invited but they would not come… For many are invited, but not all are chosen.’” – from the Gospel of today’s Mass

Thank you for joining us in prayer this morning.
