Little by Little

What does it actually mean to be healed by the blood of Jesus? Recovering from leg surgery, Fr Columba reflects on the slow, hidden work of physical healing as a window into how the soul is healed in the Eucharist and confession. The wound closes because the blood is doing its job. Our part is to stop rushing it. A few unhurried minutes in your pew after Mass do more than we realise.🔴  THIS SERIESLittle by Little | Episode #273Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

Do you ever feel like God is irrelevant to your actual daily life? In this episode of Little by Little, Fr Columba leans into a piece of wisdom from Alcoholics Anonymous: every problem we face is, at root, of our own making. Drill into the anxiety, the lost peace, the frustration, and the cause is almost always the same. We are quietly trying to play God. Letting him take that seat back is more practical than we think.🔴  THIS SERIESLittle by Little | Episode #272Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

Have you ever skipped prayer and told yourself you were just tired, busy, or stuck on your phone? In this episode of Little by Little, Fr Columba names the harder truth underneath all of it. Every time we cut a corner with God, what we're really saying is "I know best." He shares why daily prayer is the single non-negotiable in the spiritual life, why he still struggles with it himself, and how getting radically honest about pride is the first step back to real prayer. An invitation to stop dressing up self-will and start showing up again, even with the worst prayer of your life.🔴  THIS SERIESLittle by Little | Episode #271Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

Have you ever braced for a pain that hadn't actually arrived? After breaking his leg, Fr Columba noticed something strange in the hospital: most of what he was feeling wasn't pain at all, it was the fear of pain. Drawing on Arthur Brooks and Jesus in Gethsemane, he reflects on how to tell the two apart, and how Christ meets us in both. An honest, gentle reflection if you're carrying real suffering, or just living in dread of it.🔴  THIS SERIESLittle by Little | Episode #270Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

You may have heard, Fr Columba recently broke his leg and is taking some time to rest and recover. While he's off his feet, we're re-showing an old favourite episode, still feels as relevant as ever. Please keep him in your prayers, especially for patience and a steady recovery.Do you spend more time worrying about what's wrong with the Church than actually bringing people to Jesus? In this episode, Fr Columba opens Acts 1, where the disciples press Jesus for information about the kingdom and Jesus redirects them to the mission he's actually given them. He asks a simple, uncomfortable question: is the fruit of your faith showing up in the lives of others, or have the weeds of distraction quietly choked it? A short, honest invitation to check where your energy is really going.
