Good morning. We join Fr Ilango in Sacred Heart Church, Kilburn, for today’s morning prayer on Monday the 3rd of June
Gospel | Mark 12:1-12 ©
They seized the beloved son, killed him and threw him out of the vineyard
Fr Ilango reflects on today’s gospel reading:
“It is natural for us as landowners, householders in charge of properties for income, we expect timely returns and to keep eye on how things are going. This is similar to the landowner in the gospel. However, in the parable, the tenants, driven by greed, killed the owner’s servants and his only son, when they came to collect what was due to the owner. In the metaphor of the vineyard, God is the owner and enlisted us to produce fruits and share them with him. I am inspired by Mother Teresa who lived with the expectations of her master and shared his compassionate love with not only Christians, but with all the people who are abandoned in the streets. “
Enjoy the reflection this morning and thank you for joining us.

Oblates exercise very diverse ministries but above all seek to dedicate themselves to the poor and abandoned. One can thus find Oblates in Britain and Ireland working in parishes, in missionary formation, preaching, social justice and pastoral ministries, or prisons. “No ministry is alien to us as long as we never lose sight of the main purpose of the Congregation: the evangelization of the most abandoned.” ~ Oblate Constitutions and Rules.
