A Moment To Pause: Monday 8th June 2026
from A Moment to Pause - a short daily Christmas reflection · host The Oblates
Good morning and welcome to the Oblate time of prayer and reflection today by Joe O'Connell, a member of the Friends of Saint Eugene in Crewe. Good morning. I'm Joe O'Connell. Friends and I’m a Friend of Saint Eugene in Crewe. Our reading is taken from Matthew 5: 1 to 12. Jesus did three things on mountains; He fed the 5000, the Beatitudes were preached at today's reading and the crucifixion. Jesus said, who and if and light and how blessed we are if we're hungry for peace, if we mourn, if we believe in peacemaking. Saint Thomas Aquinas said “The Beatitudes are the perfect standard for the Christ life.” As we come to the end of today's prayer May your day, be full of peace and joy and love. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
