The OMG reflection from Steve Leininger
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, January 20, 2026
The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath
The gift made for us, to do the things that are good in the sight of God the Father.
Click here to read Steve Leininger’s reflection from January 20, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
David wins Saul’s approval and is made harpist and armor-bearer for Saul. Do you remember the story of David and Goliath? That happened next. David 1, Goliath 0. David is praised by the people as the ultimate warrior, which makes Saul insanely jealous.
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)
