Ever let your emotions get the best of you? Do emotions even sometimes block your prayer? Fr Columba discusses how to deal with, vent, and truly put our emotions to rest. Also included is how to forgive: realising that, for Christians, there can be confusion between the duty to forgive and truly forgiving after we've been healed in our hearts. At the end, Fr Columba also touches on his experience of counselling.

Ever get a little stuck in your spiritual life? Not moving forward, but not moving back? Fr Columba explains how this is impossible: we're either growing closer to God or moving farther from Him — there is no "park" option.

Using the example of St Mary Magdalene, on this her feast day (July 22nd), Fr Columba shares advice on how to avoid this lukewarmness and how to follow God with the fervour He deserves.

How can we escape the rat race that life often is? Using the examples of Creation and Mary & Martha (Feast Day today, July 29th), Fr Columba explains how to get from a place of "overwhelm" to "overflow".

Discouragement in prayer, distanced from God, doubting your faith — all Christians have experienced these difficulties. Fr Columba explains how these experiences sometimes point to interior desolation, where (or rather Whom) desolation comes from, and how we can best deal with it.

With the Feast of St Thomas the Apostle around the corner (July 3rd), Fr Columba tackles the question of doubt: what's normal, what isn't; what's sin, and what's reasonable?

The Mass is objectively always great — but how much are we actively participating? Fr Columba suggests three things: 1) Be There, 2) Prepare, and 3) Give Thanks.
