A Moment To Pause: Tuesday 16th June 2026

from A Moment to Pause - a short daily Christmas reflection · host The Oblates

You are welcome to the reflection today with Marcellus from the Oblate Parish in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is Tuesday of the 11th Week in Ordinary Time. Welcome to A Moment to Pause reflection. Today we reflect on the Gospel of Matthew, chapter six, verses 1 to 6 and 16 to 18. In this passage, Jesus continues to teach us, his followers, the right way to do things. The gospel admonishes us to do things for the right reason. In today's world everyone wants to be praised and noticed for what they do.  The Gospel of Matthew tells us not to be caught up in this trap. We are encouraged to perform righteous deeds, give alms, pray, fast and do good. But in all these they are not to be done just for praise or notice. We are called to have the right motivation for doing them, and that is to glorify God, who is the giver of all that we have.  I am deeply touched by the conclusion that says, “And your Father in heaven, who sees what is hidden, will repay you.”  Thank you for being with us today. God bless you.
