The OMG reflections from Steve Leininger & Steve Hall
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, November 25, 2025
Time’s up!
‘But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth’
Click here to read Steve Leininger’s reflection from November 25, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
The Gospel reading is from Luke 21, where Jesus foretells the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Not the “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up” from John 2:19. This is the real destruction of the Temple, which will happen almost 40 years later. We get a brief look at the end-time signs and a warning not to be deceived by those who claim, ‘I am he’ and ‘The time has come.’
Steve Leininger’s reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
We thank you, Lord, for the abundance of our harvest
It’s hard to express the constancy and intensity of God’s love
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall’s reflection from November 25, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
It is not hard to imagine that the Jews would have found Greek gods to be somewhere between laughable and blasphemous. Neither is it difficult to imagine that the pagan authority would have proceeded to try to eliminate the various expressions of Jewish faith. So, too, do we live today with others who proclaim tolerance, fearlessness, and even violence, in purposely offending God.
Steve Hall’s reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
