The OMG reflections from Steve Leininger & John Pearring
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, May 12, 2026
What’s your job?
Long-term, it could be your mission in life
Click here to read Steve Leininger’s reflection from May 12, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
The job or mission of Jesus was to do the Father’s will. Part of that was to develop an understanding of God’s will among the apostles and disciples, which would become the foundation of what we know as the church. Spreading the good news to the ends of the earth is a big job, and Jesus gave the apostles the words and faith they needed to be a part of that effort.
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)
The Holy Spirit has been given the authority
‘Condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned’
Click here to read John Pearring’s reflection from May 12, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
Like a vice, the rescuing grip of God’s creation begins with Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and ascension. The squeezing of evil’s juice from our world has been tightening for two thousand years. Soon, it will be completed. Sin will be excised, and righteousness will prevail.
John Pearring’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
