A Moment To Pause: Sunday 9th August 2026
Welcome to A Moment to Pause. We join Anne Walker from the Friends Of Saint Eugene, Crewe.
Good morning. It's Sunday, the 9th of August. The 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time. The Gospel today comes from Matthew chapter 14, verses 22 to 33.
Towards the end of today's Gospel, we hear that Peter doubts that he will be able to reach Jesus by walking on water. He thinks he will drown. Don't literally means two minds. Peter's mind was caught between a reliance on Jesus's judgment that he will be able to do it, and the trustworthy call from Jesus.
Let us pray.
