A Moment To Pause: Easter Friday 10th April 2026

Welcome to a Moment to Pause with Rob Doherty during Easter. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Good morning. Welcome. Today's Gospel is from John chapter 21, verses 1 to 14. In today's Gospel the risen Jesus Christ comes to disciples who had failed him and returned to their old lives. After a long, fruitless night of fishing, they stand empty handed, tired and discouraged. It is in this moment that Jesus appears. At his word, their nets are filled and their calling is renewed. Then he invites them. Come and have breakfast. He does not reproach them, but restores them through his presence and a shared meal. In the same way the Lord meets us in our failures not to condemn but to invite us back into communion, especially in the Eucharist. Lord Jesus Christ. You come to me in my weakness and meet me in my failures. When my efforts feel empty and my heart is tired, I stand on the shore of my life and call me back to you. Feed me with your presence. Restore what is broken within me. And draw me again into communion with you in the Eucharist. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Thank you for joining us today.
