A Moment To Pause: Monday 15th June 2026

You are welcome to the reflection today with Marcellus from the Oblate Parish in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is Monday of the 11th Week in Ordinary Time. Today we reflect on the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter five verses 38 to 42. In this passage, Jesus tells the disciples in a way to renew their mind on what they are used to. By going all the way extra mile in all that they do. So Jesus goes on to tell his disciples; first to offer another cheek when someone strikes the right cheek. Number two; to hand in cloak as well when someone goes to law with them over a tunic. Number three to go two miles instead of one mile. And the fourth thing is to give to anyone who ask or wants to borrow from them. By this, Jesus is encouraging us to learn from him, to be gentle, merciful, and generous to others in all that we do.  Thank you for being with us today. God bless you.
