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.

Do you find yourself falling into the same sins again, despite your sincere efforts to change? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on why willpower alone is often not enough to overcome habitual sin, and how spiritual dryness can quietly weaken the soul. Drawing on the Church’s wisdom, he explains how God gives consolation not as a reward, but as a remedy to strengthen us where we are wounded. Whether you feel stuck, discouraged, or tired of beginning again, start where you are — receive the grace God offers — and let Him do the rest.
