The OMG reflections from Steve Hessman & Steve Hall
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, September 16, 2025
Some understood Jesus' miracles
Faith is crucial in spiritual healing
Click here to read Steve Hessman’s reflection from September 16, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
“So then, those who saw Christ's miracles and didn’t understand what they meant, wondered only at the miracles themselves. In contrast, others both wondered at the miracles and attained the meaning of them, thus making them spiritually healed and alive again. Such ought we to be in the school of Christ.”
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
When coffins surprise us
'Young man, I tell you, arise!'
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall's reflection from September 16, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
The Divine Plan, insofar as it deals with material things, is actualized in a step-by-step manner. That is characteristic of material things. And, therefore, the plan that affects material creation must unfold over a period of time, and it must happen in the appropriate order.
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)
