The Oblate Family Morning Prayer: Monday 30th December 2024

With Ewan Smith in Colwyn Bay

Good morning and Merry Christmas, dear friends! We invite you to join Ewan Smith for today’s morning prayer on the 6th day within the octave of Christmas – Monday December 30th. This week, the members of the Parish of St Joseph’s, Colwyn Bay will lead us in our morning reflections.

Gospel | Luke 2:36-40 © 
“Anna speaks of the child to all who looked forward to the deliverance of Jerusalem”

Ewan reflects: ‘Anna the prophetess has long been one of my favourite characters from the Bible. We know little about her. She only appears in these three short verses, but to me, she’s a significant biblical figure. One of the things I struggle with is my faith becoming tangled up and complicated by the things of the world. But Anna, in her old age, had given over her life entirely to the service of God…’

Thank you for joining us this morning.
