Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, October 27, 2026
Blessed are you who fear the LORD
“What is the Kingdom of God like?”
Click here to read Steve Leininger’s reflection from October 27, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
Taken from Psalm 128:1, the fear we are talking about is not the same fear as running from a bear. It is more than that. It is perhaps more like “respect” than fear. One respects the Lord by avoiding things that displease him, for fear of becoming detached from his promise.
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)
To get there, we must leave here
We exist in full view of heaven’s watchful and intercessory hosts
Click here to read John Pearring’s reflection from October 27, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
We exist in full view of, and even in interaction with, heaven’s watchful and intercessory hosts. Orchestrating angels as they watch all of creation, plus interacting with the residents of heaven (an inestimable number of saints) as they pray for our divine intercession, takes incredible organization and readiness. Only God can do that.
John Pearring’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
