Today, we invite you to join Mary O’Brien and Mary Whelan, members of the Oblate Lourdes Pilgrimage Team, once again for our morning prayer.
Gospel | Matthew 5:33-37
“Do not swear: say ‘Yes’ if you mean Yes, ‘No’ if you mean No”
Mary reflects on today’s gospel reading: and reads a poem by Patrick Kavanagh, an Irish Poet:
“I saw Christ to-day
At a street corner stand,
In the rags of a beggar he stood
He held ballads in his hand.
He was crying out: – “Two for a penny
Will anyone buy
The finest ballads ever made
From the stuff of joy?”
But the blind and deaf went past
Knowing only there
An uncouth ballad-seller
With tail-matted hair.
And I whom men call fool
His ballads bought,
Found him whom the pieties
Have vainly sought..”
Enjoy the reflection this morning and thank you for joining us, and thank you to the two Marys for taking the time out to prepare morning prayer “on location” during your holidays in France!
