The OMG reflections from Steve Hessman & Steve Hall
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, January 6, 2026
The Greatest Miracle
“Behold, the Lamb of God!”
Click here to read Steve Hessman’s reflection from January 6, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
The great event of all history is that moment when Jesus allowed his own death on the cross. His death and subsequent resurrection constitute the event that institutes the Eucharist and ushers in the final stage of salvation history, the Church.
Steve Hessman’s reflections: “Amen, Amen. Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.” John 12:24
Jesus: Focal point of creation & epicenter of time
At the core and heart of all, we find Jesus
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall’s reflection from January 6, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
A bountiful meal of rich wines and juicy meats became a commonly recalled image of the coming of the messiah, the establishment of the Kingdom, and the final act in which slavery would be abolished. It comes as no surprise, then, that the multiplication of the loaves and fish would recall that image.
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)
