Do you ever ask other people to pray for you? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on something simple, but often overlooked: the power of other people’s prayers. Drawing on his own experience of struggling through a demanding project, he shares how things shifted in a remarkable way once he asked others to pray for him. While we naturally pray for ourselves, there is something different about the prayers of others. God has made us to belong to one another, to depend on one another, and to support each other in prayer. We are not meant to do this alone.

Do you ever wonder what you can give back to God, especially during Holy Week? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the striking Gospel moment where Mary pours out an extravagant and costly perfume over Jesus. At first, it seems excessive, even wasteful. But Jesus receives it, because it reveals something of His own heart. What she gives, however great, is still only a glimpse of what He has already given for us. Holy Week is not just about remembering what Jesus did. It is about recognising the depth of His love, and asking how we will respond to it. His gift is not measured or restrained. It is total.

Do you ever feel like you’re consuming more and more good content, but still not growing closer to God? In this episode, Fr Columba challenges a subtle but serious spiritual trap: replacing contact with God with content about God. While good books, podcasts, and videos can inspire us, they are not the goal. Drawing on simple, practical examples, he shows how we can pause, listen, and respond when God is actually speaking. If your spiritual life feels full but not fruitful, this is an invitation to slow down, make space, and rediscover real encounter with the living God.
