The OMG reflections from Ron Bruni & Steve Hall
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, May 26, 2026
Learn to travel well
God will be present in every part of it
By Ron Bruni
Click here to read Ron Bruni’s reflection from May 26, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
St. Philip Neri suggests that holiness and joy are not opposites. In fact, joy may be one of the signs that we are finally learning what matters most. If we stay on this road long enough, we eventually realize something we may not have seen at the beginning: God has been present in every part of it. Not only what we gained, but even what we had to leave behind.
Ron Bruni’s reflections: “The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you clearly about the Father.” (John 16:25)
Are consequences more important than the message?
The message starts with the plan
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall’s reflection from May 26, 2026. Here’s an excerpt:
It’s easy to get sidetracked into a conversation about morality when the topic of Christianity arises. And when one considers the pagan cultures that those bringing the Good News have stepped into across the centuries — and still do today — it is easy to understand how consequences might become more important in conversation than the message itself. But the message starts with the plan.
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)
