Little by Little

Do you ever feel spiritually drained, like you’re giving and giving, but running on empty? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on why selfless love can feel impossible when we try to sustain it on our own strength. Drawing on the image of Peter stepping out of the boat and the words of Jesus to St Faustina, he shows that trust is not naïve optimism, but the gateway that allows God to act. The Christian life is not about proving that we are enough, it begins when we admit we are not. If you are tired of carrying everything yourself, this is an invitation to let go, to trust, and to discover that He will provide.

Are you letting the Gospel flow through your life, or does it stop with you? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the responsibility and privilege of sharing the faith we have received. Using the image of living water flowing through a tap, he reminds us that we are not the source of grace — but we are called to let it pass through us. The Gospel is not meant to be hidden, edited, or kept private. If someone in your life is thirsty for hope, this reflection invites you to speak with courage, trust God with the outcome, and let the Gospel continue beyond you.

Do you find yourself telling God information in prayer rather than sharing your heart? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the difference between giving God a report and giving Him yourself. Using the image of a father who is never bored by his child, he reminds us that God does not need to be informed — He already knows everything — but He desires relationship. Whether your prayer feels repetitive, dry, or overly formal, this reflection invites you to speak honestly, bring your real story to God, and rediscover the simplicity of being known and loved.

Do you expect Mass to change you? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the quiet but powerful truth that every encounter with God is meant to transform us. Drawing on the image of the Magi returning by a different way, he invites us to examine our expectations at Mass and in prayer, and to rediscover the grace God offers each time we come before Him. Whether you feel distracted, discouraged, or unsure if anything is really happening, this reflection encourages you to approach Mass with faith, hope, and love — and to trust that God is always at work, even when we cannot yet see it.

Do you find it hard to be vulnerable — even with God? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on why we hide behind masks, why we fear being truly seen, and how this fear can quietly block love and freedom. Using Adam in the Garden as a mirror for the human heart, he shows how shame and distrust twist our thinking and lead us to perform rather than receive. Whether you feel stuck behind a “fake self” or afraid of being rejected, start where you are — let yourself be known — and let God do the rest.
