A Moment To Pause: Sunday 28th June 2026

You are welcome to the reflection today with Bobby Neil from the Bluebell-Inchicore Pastoral Area. Good morning and welcome to the Oblate Family Moment to Pause. Our gospel this morning for Sunday the 28th of June is Matthew 10, verses 37 to 42, where we hear about renouncing oneself to follow Jesus and helping others. In today's gospel, Jesus tells us that life is not all about looking after number one.  Today's gospel challenges all of us. We have a decision to make in how we are going to live our own lives. What are my values? Am I willing to say yes to Jesus by helping out a neighbour in need? Am I willing to go and take a chance in faith and take up my cross?  Crosses are heavy. But Jesus tells us we are not alone. Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Thank you for joining us this morning. I hope you have a pleasant day. May the Lord bless us and keep us. Amen.
