We join Fr Martin Moran OMI, moderator of the Inchicore Pastoral Area at the Oblate Lourdes Grotto for today’s prayer.
Gospel | John 15:9-17
You are my friends if you do what I command you
Fr Martin reflects on the words of today’s gospel, “The Scripture scholars say there are many words. Stay in my love. Abide in my love. Live in my love. Remain in my love. Whichever word works best for you that God wants that intimate relationship. God wants to be part of your life.”, and also on those of Mechthild of Magdeburg, a 12th century mystic.
Outdoor Mass takes place at the Grotto every Wednesday at 10am during the Month of May in honour of Mary. Please do join us if you can.
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.
