Ep. 288 | Stop Negotiating With God (Trust Instead) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do you turn prayer into a negotiation, bargaining with God until you get the outcome you want? Fr Columba shares a story from summer camp, praying for good weather on a beach trip, only to watch the rain start on the way there, to show what trust actually looks like. Instead of trying to control what God does, he's learned to trust that God loves the people we're praying for more than he ever could, and has something better planned no matter how things look. It's a shift that changes how you pra
Ep. 287 | Gluttony Isn't What You Think (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is it wrong to eat just because something tastes good? Fr Columba shares Fr Mike Schmitz's teaching on the two purposes of eating, nourishment and pleasure, and explains why pursuing either one on its own is fine, but working against the other becomes a problem. He applies the same principle to gluttony and temperance, showing that enjoying good food is part of how God built us, not something to feel guilty about. If you've ever felt torn between discipline and enjoyment at the table, this offer
Ep. 286 | Can Catholics Criticise the Pope? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is it ever okay for Catholics to badmouth the Pope online? Fr Columba draws a clear line between disagreeing with a pope's personal opinions and disrespecting the office itself, and shows through saints like Padre Pio and St Francis why reverence for the office matters even when the person in it falls short. He explains what the Church actually teaches about infallibility, and where that line sits. If you've ever wondered how to hold criticism and respect together, this episode maps it out. 🔴 TH
Ep. 285 | How to Actually Pray the Rosary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The rosary can start to feel like empty repetition if you don't know what it actually is. Fr Columba breaks it down: it's a litany, a repeated pattern of praise and intercession directed to Mary, built word for word out of Scripture. He explains why that repetition is the point, not a flaw, then shares two stories of what happened when friends prayed a rosary expecting nothing. If yours has turned into something to get through, he offers one simple fix: stop racing to the end and actually pray i
Ep. 284 | What Makes You Righteous? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What would it actually feel like to know, deep down, that the Father delights in you? Fr Columba leads you through a simple exercise: imagine you had none of it, no closeness, no confidence, no boldness before God, and ask yourself if you'd even want it. Then he shows why you don't have to chase it. It's already yours in Christ, sealed at the cross, where Jesus took your sin as his own so you could stop hiding. This is an invitation to feel that, not just agree with it. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by L
