Little by Little

Do you ever feel flat when you know you should feel something? When a close friend moved away, Fr Columba noticed he felt almost nothing, and he realised that wasn't how he wanted to live. In this episode, he looks at temperament, why we sometimes avoid emotion because it leaves us vulnerable, and why our feelings are part of the humanity God gave us. Jesus, who was fully human, felt great sorrow and great joy. Fr Columba shares the simple things that help him bring a slow heart to life: talking, journaling, prayer, imagining someone he loves, and using an emotions wheel. If your heart feels grey, this is an invitation to keep unwrapping the gift of who you are.

Do you feel you just don't have time to pray? In this episode of Little by Little, Fr Columba asks us to get honest about where our time really goes, then offers a surprising consolation from the story of the widow's two coins. God doesn't count in minutes, he counts in how much of ourselves we give, so ten minutes offered wholeheartedly before the kids wake up is no small thing. Drawing on Brother Lawrence's The Practice of the Presence of God, he shows how brief moments of worship, asking for grace and offering our hearts can slowly turn the whole day into prayer. If you've been despising the little time you have, this is an invitation to stop, give it to him with joy, and simply give him your heart.

Do you ever stop to think that the King of the Universe had nowhere to call home? In this episode of Little by Little, Fr Columba reflects on Luke 9, where Jesus tells a would-be follower that "the foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." The passage is usually read as a warning about the cost of discipleship, but Fr Columba sees something more in it. Jesus wants to dwell in the hearts of his disciples, and he still comes to us like a beggar, knocking and waiting to be let in.

Do you ever feel stuck on the hamster wheel, always consuming more content, more stuff and more noise, and still never satisfied? In this episode of Little by Little, Fr Columba names consumerism as something we've made a bit of a god of today. He turns to the days of creation: the sixth day, when the beasts were made, and the seventh, God's day of rest, covenant and contemplation. He shows how our small, everyday choices are always building something: either a life driven by appetite or a life that grows more like God. If you feel restless or never quite full, this is an invitation to stop chasing more and rest in the One who can fill every gap.

Do you avoid hard conversations, keeping the peace until something finally gives? In this episode, Fr Columba looks at why confrontation feels so difficult and why Jesus never shied away from it. Drawing on Christ's teaching about going to a brother who has wronged you, he explains the difference between being nice and being loving, and how needing to be liked can stop us from being real with the people we care about. If you find it hard to speak up, this is an invitation to a love that is honest, free and willing to get its wellies dirty.
