  A Moment To Pause: Wednesday 30th September 2026

  Sep 30, 20262 min

  Hello and welcome to the Oblate Family morning reflection - Our Moment to Pause. This week we hear from Pat Hughes from Birkenhead, England. On this last day in September I welcome you to our Oblate moment to pause . Today’s Gospel reading is Luke 9:57-62. In this Gospel Jesus asks that we follow him even though “the Son of Man has nowhere to lay down his head “ thus indicating no promise of security, comfort or permission to sort things out first. Jesus calls for a heart that is free to proclaim the Kingdom of God without continually looking back. Following him means trusting his wisdom more than our need to control . Lord Jesus, keep my heart turned toward you . Give me humility and courage to receive your call without delay. Free me from attachments and may my life quietly proclaim your Kingdom and that through your grace :I am enough . Let us pray the Lord’s Prayer together: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Thank you for belonging to the Oblate family and have a good day

  A Moment To Pause: Tuesday 29th September 2026

  Sep 29, 20262 min

  Hello and welcome to the Oblate Family morning reflection - Our Moment to Pause. This week we hear from Pat Hughes from Birkenhead, England. Todays Gospel is from John 1-:47-51. Good morning and welcome to Tuesday’s moment to pause with the Oblate family . Today is the Feast of Sts Michael, Gabriel and Raphael , Archangels “Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and he said ‘Behold an Israelite in whom there is no guile .’ Jesus goes on to tell him he will see angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man. Christ is the living meeting place between God and humanity. Nathaniel moved from asking Jesus who he was to believing he was the Son of God and King . We, too, may begin with limited understanding but then Christ sees us and calls us towards greater understanding. We are continually being given grace. Lord Jesus , you see me completely and still call me . Thank you . Through the witness of your angels and the strength of your grace, teach me to praise you with my whole heart. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen Have a blessed day

  A Moment To Pause: Monday 28th September 2026

  Hello and welcome to the Oblate Family morning reflection - Our Moment to Pause. This week we hear from Pat Hughes from Birkenhead, England. Good morning and welcome to Monday’s moment to pause . “And there entered and thought unto them, which of them should be greater.” This was an argument among the disciples in today’s reading . It is important to contrast this with the first reading in which Job, though his world was destroyed in a day, fell on his knees and blessed God’s name showing his relationship with God is deeper than the gifts he had previously received. Jesus reveals greatness through service, welcome and generous recognition of God’s work beyond us. A heart made small before God remains faithful and free. Lord God, you are worthy of praise in abundance and in loss. Deliver me from the desire to be important and to control your work. Teach me to trust you with all that I have and to honour you in the least of my sisters and brothers. Amen Have a blessed day

  A Moment To Pause: Sunday 27th September 2026

  Sep 27, 20262 min

  Good morning and welcome to the Oblate Family morning reflection - Our Moment to Pause. This week we hear from Mary Tyrrell from Birkenhead, England. Welcome to a moment to pause with the Oblate family. Today’s Gospel tells us about two sons being asked to do something by their father. One said yes and then did nothing, the other said no but later decided to do it after all. This story in Matthew 21:28-32 possibly reminds us of people we know or maybe even ourselves.How often might we say we will do something but never actually do it? We may have the best of intentions, design great schemes even make forward plans, but if they’re not followed through, our words are empty. This parable challenges us, as all parables do. We are to examine the sincerity of our actions and to prioritize obedience over mere lip service.It is certainly true actions speak louder than words. So when you say ‘yes’ let your yes mean yes. We pray for people of faith that they will always have obedient hearts like Mary, mother of Jesus. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners. Now at the hour of our death. Amen. Thank you for joining us to pray on this special Sunday.May it be a blessed one for you.

  A Moment To Pause: Saturday 26th September 2026

  Sep 26, 20262 min

  Good morning and welcome to the Oblate Family morning reflection - Our Moment to Pause. This week we hear from Mary Tyrrell from Birkenhead, England. Welcome to a moment to pause with the Oblate family. The disciples were totally in awe of and applauded the wonderful things Jesus was doing for people in today’s passage from Luke chap 9:43b-45. Jesus, however, dampens the mood when he announces that he will soon be betrayed. The disciples couldn’t understand why anyone would want to betray Jesus when he was doing so much good. Even now people still experience betrayals when their reputations or lives are destroyed by the words or actions of someone they trusted. Some, even, have their lives shortened or they are actually killed because of the malice of people just like Jesus was. It’s funny people don’t seem to change despite all the sophistication of the modern world. Maybe you have been betrayed by a friend or a colleague and your life as it was destroyed. Jesus knows how you feel. Or maybe you were the betrayer why not reflect on your actions, seek forgiveness from God and the one you destroyed. Today let us pray for those who hurt us and for those we have hurt. We pray: Lord have mercy on us Christ have mercy on us Lord have mercy on us. Thank you for joining us on this moment to pause. Be kind and thoughtful to yourself and others today.
