The Oblate Family Morning Prayer: 8th November 2024

With Fr Ilango OMI in Kilburn

Good morning friends. We invite you to join Fr Ilango OMI in Sacred Heart Parish, Quex Road in Kilburn for today’s morning prayer on Friday, November 8th 2024 in the 31st Week in Ordinary time.

Gospel | Luke 16:1-8 ©

The master praised the dishonest servant

Fr Ilango reflects: “The punchline of the parable is make friends, real friends you can enjoy into eternity. We have an opportunity in this lifetime to make friends who will receive us into the next. How do we do that? By investing ourself into people, showing love and giving grace. Problem is, we are often too busy for others. Our lives are filled with duties, exams, bills, deadlines and meetings and we have no time for people. Relationships have been reduced to text messages and likes on Facebook. In these busy days, we need to hear the words of Jesus more than ever. Be sharp like the manager, and use the resources of this world to get the return that lasts into the next. ”

Thank you for joining us this morning.
