The OMG reflections from Lou Occhi & John Pearring
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, February 3, 2026
What is the plan for each of us?
Our strengths and weaknesses are to be used in the service of the Lord.
By Lou Occhi
Click here to read Lou Occhi’s reflection from February 3, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
We may not feel like it, but we are “made glorious in the sight of the Lord and our God is now our strength.” We are to be “a light to the nations.” How are we a light to the nations? Individually, we are not. Put enough of us together, and we will produce plenty of light.
Lou Occhi’s reflections: “The Almighty has done great things for me, and Holy is His name.” (The Magnificat)
Frank & Ralph: The guardian angels of Jesus
They don’t fit into the angelic host network like everyday angels
Click here to read John Pearring’s reflection from February 3, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
Frank and Ralph are the most fascinating angels in all of creation. They have no shame, which you would expect, but since they’re bumping up against the rest of the angels, you’d think they would crumble from the disdain. I suspect that when you meet them, you’ll want to write a story about them, too.
John Pearring’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
