A Moment To Pause: During Eastertide - Sunday 3rd May 2026

We join Pat Hughes for this morning’s short audio reflection during Eastertide. Sunday 3rd May Gospel Reading John 14:1-12 Good morning. I would ask you now to close your eyes and say “Welcome, Jesus to be with me this day. “ Over the last few days we have explored and prayed this Gospel reading of John 14:1-12.   It is part of the Farewell Discourse at the Last Supper where Jesus explains his relationship to the Father and promises that those who believe in Him will do the works that He has done if they but model Him and remember He is the Way, the truth and the life. Jesus begins by saying “Do not let your hearts be troubled”.  In these days of seemingly endless worries about the world it is difficult to not let our hearts be troubled.  If we think back to what the disciples were about to face… Jesus’ passion, death and seeming absence as the disciples fled  Jerusalem, it would seem we have learnt nothing. We  have only to remember that Jesus kept his promise and sent the Holy Spirit , a time we will celebrate soon at Pentecost ! Let us remember meantime, to model Jesus , to know and trust in Him, and the Father and the Holy Spirit. To keep Hope in our hearts and our lives and to spread the Good News. May we all have a blessed Sunday . Thank you for praying together.
