The OMG reflections from Steve Leininger & Steve Hall
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, March 17, 2026
Who was Ezekiel?
A vision, a miracle, and a Sabbath
Click here to read Steve Leininger’s reflection from March 17, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
The prophet Ezekiel is shown a vision of water flowing from the temple, which represents God’s presence and blessing. The water begins as a trickle and deepens as it flows eastward, eventually becoming a mighty river. This imagery is rich with symbolism, reflecting themes of life, healing, and divine provision. God’s influence starts as a trickle of water and, as we journey, it widens and deepens.
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)
‘Do you want to be well?’
Jesus isn’t prone to asking dumb questions
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall’s reflection from March 17, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
Our readings for today tell two stories, stories of cups being full and stories of cups being empty. Actually, we hear of both full and empty in each story. Throughout life, we all share in highs and lows — the cup that overflows and the cup that seems bottomless in its emptiness.
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)
