The OMG reflection from Steve Hall
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, October 20, 2026
The Father’s purpose is ours
He has given it to those of us who are his Chosen
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall’s reflection from October 20. Here’s an excerpt:
The descendants of Abraham became the beginning of a great nation. But all did not go smoothly. For four hundred years we hear nothing of these people, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Yet, during these years the patriarchs were remembered, as was their God. In fact, He became known as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and as the years passed, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob became slaves.
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)
