Good morning friends.
We join Gerard Bennett in his home in Ireland’s midlands. Gerard is part of the Oblate Lourdes Pilgrimage Leadership Team and is also a member of the Hospitalité of Our Lady of Lourdes who volunteer in Our Lady’s Shrine in France.
Today’s gospel reminds us that Jesus says; “The last will be first, and the first, last.”
Those who are abandoned in this world, are loved and treasured in God’s eyes. St Eugene de Mazenod, founder of the Oblates, said of the poor; “Who are you in the eyes of the world? You are more precious in the eyes of God than all Earth’s riches.”
Perhaps the message of the gospel is challenging us to think of those the world considers “last” – the poor, the sick, the refugee. Thank you for joining us in prayer this morning.
