Morning Prayer with the Oblates Thursday May 20th With Caroline
Dear friends, you are welcome to join with Caroline for our morning prayer at 8.30am. Today we remember Venerable Carlo Dominique Albini OMI who died on this day in 1839. He was also known as the “Apostle of Corsica”.
In today’s gospel we hear Jesus’ prayer – “That they may be one.” (John 17:21) Fr Albini manifested this prayer in his life’s mission, in unity and community. We each are too called to embrace our own gifts of God’s grace, knowing that we are each individual and unique manifestations of God’s love.

Father, may they be completely one
Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said:
‘Holy Father,
I pray not only for these,
but for those also
who through their words will believe in me.
May they all be one.
Father, may they be one in us,
as you are in me and I am in you,
so that the world may believe it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so completely one
that the world will realise that it was you who sent me
and that I have loved them as much as you loved me.
Father, I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see the glory you have given me
because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
Father, Righteous One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.’
