Morning Prayer with the Oblates, Thursday May 27th
With Fr Dominick

prayer may 27th

We join Fr Dominick in Bluebell for morning prayer.

Brothers and sisters, “go on your way”!

Each one of us received the same gift from our Lord on the day of our baptism. Today in the gospel, Jesus heals the blind man, who pleaded for help from Jesus. The crowd tried to shut him up. The blind man, Bartimeaus had the courage to cry, “Lord, have mercy on me!” Am I like Bartimeaus? Am I ready to receive grace from God? Or am I like the people in the crowd? Do I sometimes not want to see anyone who disturbs my comfort?

Today we pray on the 7th day of our novena for vocations for all those who will respond to the Lord’s call.

Gospel Mark 10:46-52 ©

Go; your faith has saved you

As Jesus left Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (that is, the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting at the side of the road. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout and to say, ‘Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me.’ And many of them scolded him and told him to keep quiet, but he only shouted all the louder, ‘Son of David, have pity on me.’ Jesus stopped and said, ‘Call him here.’ So they called the blind man. ‘Courage,’ they said ‘get up; he is calling you.’ So throwing off his cloak, he jumped up and went to Jesus. Then Jesus spoke, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ ‘Rabbuni,’ the blind man said to him ‘Master, let me see again.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has saved you.’ And immediately his sight returned and he followed him along the road.
