The Oblate Family Morning Prayer: Saturday 10th February 2024

With Padraig in Lourdes

Good morning. We invite you to join our Oblate Family Morning Prayer. We join Padraig Corcoran with the Oblate Lourdes Pilgrimage at the Accueil in Lourdes, France, for today’s time of prayer. Today is the eighth day of the novena in honour of Our Lady of Lourdes. The Novena is from the 2nd to the 11th of February, leading to up to Our Lady’s feast day (11th February). You can join in person & online: Mary Immaculate, Inchicore | Sacred Heart, Kilburn | Daily Morning Prayer online & live Mass from Lourdes on Our Lady’s Feast Day, FEB 11th.

Padraig reflects: “When I’m speaking to young people and they’re preparing to come to Lourdes, all I say to them is ‘Be open, never be closed to what Loures has to offer you, just be open.’ Lourdes will move you. if you can just be open. So when we go to that Novena or when we open ourselves up, or when we join in prayer now, let’s be open to where God is bringing us.

Thank you for joining us today.

Don’t forget to join us tomorrow for the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. We will have mass at the Grotto at 10.30am Irish/UK time.
