A Moment To Pause: Thursday 11th June 2026

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.  Thank you for joining us today and our morning prayer here at Crewe. I'm Joseph O’Connor. In Matthew's gospel, ten 7 to 13, Jesus sends his disciple out his disciples out to proclaim that the kingdom of God is at hand. He tells them, obviously, to trust God's providence rather than relying on wealth and possessions, and to always remember that their gifts were given to them freely, and that they should give those gifts freely to others. We know as Catholics that we're to give our gifts as free as we possibly can. The SVP (Saint Vincent De Paul Society) does this perfectly and their work with those in need. Thank you, Lord, for the Saint Vincent de Paul society. Thank you for the Oblates whose mission it is to bring the good news to everyone who can hear it, including those who are on the margins. 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. Thank you for joining us.
