The OMG reflections from John Pearring and Steve Hall
Inspired by Mass readings from Tuesday, September 30, 2025
We are Jerusalems on parade
Jerusalem upgraded (in a genuine, revelatory sense) to our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit
Click here to read John Pearring’s reflection from September 30, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
Jesus sent us each the Holy Spirit, where our bodies serve as living temples. The sacrifice has been made, and it will not be repeated. Now churches gather us to a treasured meal of Jesus’ body and blood in the consecration of bread and wine. We confess our sins to one another and repent, absolved from our sins by the ordained representatives of Jesus.
John Pearring’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Luke 10:2)
Wait for the Lord - be strong
Let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord!
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall’s reflection from September 30, 2025. Here’s an excerpt:
The Apostles do what men so often do: they hear their own advice. They jump to conclusions. They forge ahead, often so far that they miss His words of restraint. At least these two were willing to seek confirmation of the path they had chosen. “Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?”
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)
