A Moment To Pause: Monday 10th August 2026

Good morning and welcome, and thank you for joining us for our morning prayer with the Oblate Family. Today we join Rob Doherty in London. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Today’s Gospel is from John Chapter 12, verses 24-26 Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone serves me, my Father will honour him.” The world often tells us that honour comes through success, recognition, or status.  In today’s Gospel, Jesus says it comes through service.  To follow him is to love, to forgive, to be patient, and to put others before ourselves. Most of those acts of service will never make the headlines.  They may even go unnoticed.  But Jesus reminds us that nothing done out of love is ever unseen.  The Father sees every quiet act of kindness and every faithful sacrifice, and he delights in those who follow his Son. Let us ask ourselves today: How can I serve Christ in the people I meet? Lord Jesus, open our eyes to see you in the people we meet today. Give us generous hearts to serve with kindness, patience, and love. May our lives reflect your example, and may all that we do bring glory to the Father. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen. Thank you for joining us today. #saintlaurence #feastday #catholic #goodnews #podcast
