The OMG reflections from John Pearring & Steve Hall
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, December 30, 2025
Fathers who have known God from the beginning
Those brought up without pretentious designs, fakery, & do not first love the world
Click here to read John Pearring’s reflection from December 30, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
The young have new passions and are excited when the Spirit fills them. Their primary task is conquering the misdirections of the Evil One. This is the time to win this battle. It’s much harder if youth are poorly formed as adolescents and struggle to become God-fearing and holy men and women later in life.
John Pearring’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
Waiting for the now
‘Now’ is where we meet and engage with God
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall’s reflection from December 30, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
Anna was one of many who recognized the need to stand and wait. Not waiting with emptiness, but with growth. Not waiting with inactivity, but with preparation. Waiting for the now when they would know what to do.
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)
