The Oblate Family Morning Prayer: Thursday 25th July 2024

With Kathy

Today, we join Kathy from St Mary Star of the Sea Church in Leith for our Oblate Family Morning Prayer on Thursday, 25th July, during week 16 in Ordinary Time. 

‘Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?’

Kathy reflects: “I wonder if James and John were complicit in their mother’s request, or if she was just being a pushy mum. Either way, Jesus responds with a question can you drink the cup that I shall drink? James and John both reply, yes, they can, but Jesus is very clear. This is not enough to secure a place in heaven.” 

Thank you for joining us this morning.
