A Moment To Pause: Tuesday 18th August 2026

Good morning and welcome, and thank you for joining us for our morning prayer with the Oblate Family. Today we join Jocelyne Verdier in London on Tuesday the 18th of August. Welcome to A Moment to pause. Today's Gospel is Matthew chapter 19, Verse 23 to 30.  Jesus said to his disciples that it is hard for rich people to go to heaven due to our attachment and comfort. He invites to not rely in our own strength and wealth but to surrender to him who can make all things possible by his grace.  Then Peter reminded Jesus that they left everything to follow him and Jesus as a caring dad said to him that anyone who left lands and family to serve him, will receive far more than they have given up in this life and in eternal life.  Let us pray: Lord thank you for these comforting words.  Give us a generous heart and the courage to follow Youand put all our trust in You, Amen  #catholic #goodnews #podcast #sunday #gospel
