    Ep. 295 | Consumerism Is Starving Your Soul

    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. 🔴  THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #295 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

    Ep. 294 | When Being Nice Is Actually Evil

    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. 🔴  THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #294 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

    Ep. 293 | The Device That Is Stealing Your Joy

    Do you ever reach for your phone the moment something beautiful happens? In this episode, Fr Columba shares memories of his mother stopping the car to photograph the Donegal scenery, and of watching clouds pour down a cliff face at the Grand Canyon while everyone around him clicked away. Drawing on Monsignor Giussani and Arthur Brooks, he explores why beauty moves us: it is greater than we are, and being struck by it is a quietly religious act. Our phones can also put a wall between us and that encounter, and quietly rob us of the joy it brings. This is an invitation to pause before you press the button, let yourself be struck, and sometimes just leave your phone at home. 🔴  THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #293 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

    BONUS: A Prayer for the Feast of St Francis

    Do you ever feel your faith has grown cold? This year marks 800 years since St Francis of Assisi died in 1226. To honour the anniversary, Fr Columba leads us in this litany to our Seraphic Father. Francis was the little poor man who kissed the feet of his brothers, rebuilt the Church and saw beauty itself in beautiful things. Eight centuries on, the closing prayer still asks what God did through him "when the world was growing cold": to rekindle the flame of love in our hearts. Pray along with the words on screen, and ask St Francis to help you love Christ as he did. 🔴  THIS SERIES Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

    Ep. 292 | The Phrase Keeping You From God

    When someone asks how you are, do you say "fine" and move on? Fr Columba explores an idea drawn from St John Paul II's theology of the body: that we exist to be a gift to others, and that ordinary conversation is one of the most normal ways we give and receive love. He unpacks why always saying "I'm fine" can quietly shut people out, why that leaves us feeling empty and alone, and why learning to open our hearts to others helps us open them to God in prayer. If you've been keeping everyone at arm's length, this is an invitation to let them in. 🔴  THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #292 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

    Ep. 291 | Have You Forgotten How to Rest?

    Do you know how to switch off, or do you just know how to keep going? Fr Columba explores an idea from the philosopher Josef Pieper: that leisure, real rest, is the basis of culture, and it isn't the same thing as amusement. Drawing on Aristotle and his own struggle with burnout, he unpacks why so many of us only know how to work and how to be entertained, but never how to simply be. If you've ever finished a holiday more tired than when you started, this is an invitation to actually rest. 🔴  THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #291 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

    Ep. 290 | Why the Priesthood Matters More Than You Think

    Why does the priesthood matter so much? Holding a relic of St John Vianney, Fr Columba reflects on a line he's carried since his ordination day: the priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus. He explains why the Eucharist and confession can only reach us through a priest, why that makes the priesthood about Christ's love rather than power, and shares an honest, personal account of hearing his own call. He closes with a simple ask: pray for the priests in your life. 🔴  THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #290 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

    Ep. 289 | Stop Saving Prayer for "Later"

    Do you ever feel like prayer only really counts if you're kneeling in silence with nothing else going on? Fr Columba opens with a story about two young friars asking their spiritual director whether it's alright to smoke while you pray, and uses it to get at something bigger: can ordinary things, gardening, chores, even physio, actually become prayer too? Drawing on his own experience praying the rosary while doing physiotherapy, and watching the Missionaries of Charity pray while they cooked for the homeless, he makes the case that dedicated prayer time still matters most, but it was never meant to be the only kind. If your day feels too full for prayer, this is an invitation to bring Jesus into it anyway. 🔴  THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #289 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.
