The OMG reflections from John Pearring & Steve Hall
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, February 24, 2026
The nuances of temptation distract and derail
Do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us from the evil one
Click here to read John Pearring’s reflection from February 24, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
Further study will help us go deeper into the Our Father prayer, a pure, rich, and divine treasure for Christians. Catholic theologians organize the Our Father into seven petitions, following the opening phrase — Our Father — which recognizes us in the presence of God as the Father of all. That’s the proper position to take in all prayer. “Our Father.” He is our protector and our intimate guide.
John Pearring’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
It’s only words
Words are all I have to take your heart away
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall’s reflection from February 24, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
For those who originated the word, ‘logos’ can have the meanings “I put in order, I arrange, I gather, I choose, I count, I reckon, I discern, I say, I speak.” And behind all these connotations is the presumption of power — power to effect what I choose, order, and arrange.
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)
