The Oblate Family Morning Prayer: Monday 19th August 2024

With Joe O’Connell

Good morning dear friends. We join Joe O’Connell in Crewe, England on Monday, 19th August 2024, in the 20th Week of Ordinary Time.

Gospel | Matthew 19:16-22 ©
If you wish to be perfect, go and sell what you own

Joe reflects: “Jesus directs the young man to the commandments. In essence, the young man is a good person but wants a deeper relationship with Jesus. Now Jesus offers him that deeper union. But the young man can’t take up that offer because there are things blocking his way. One of them is his wealth. Let’s pray that we can say yes to Jesus in whatever he asks us to do. “

Thank you for joining us this morning.
