A Moment To Pause: Saturday 20th June 2026

You are welcome to our reflection today with Marcellus from the Oblate Parish in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is Saturday of the 11th Week in Ordinary Time. Welcome to A Moment to Pause reflection with the Oblate community. We reflect today on the Gospel of Matthew, chapter six, verses 24 to 34. We often find ourselves being consumed daily with the worries of life, food, clothes, jobs, security, etc. and as if this is not enough, Jesus, throughout the week, in addition to these worries, has been teaching and instructing us to think and work on our spiritual lives, which is even more important and of eternal benefits.  This sounds like too much to bear, but the good news in this gospel is that God says, “do not worry about life, what you eat or drink, or what to wear.” He knows your needs. We should rather seek God first and all these things will be added onto us. So, child of God, as you go through the day in life, know and be sure that you have a good and loving father in heaven who feeds the birds of the air and let the flowers grow.  He says you are worth more than the birds and the flowers. He will take care of you and your needs as you seek to do his will and choose him first over all other things. Glory be to the father and to the son and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, now and ever shall be, world without end.  Thank you for being with us today.
