If Christmas is God's gift to us, Epiphany is our response. But what should that look like? Using the analogies of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh, Fr Columba has a few suggestions.

To celebrate St Thomas Aquinas' Feast Day, Fr Columba recounts some of the most interesting and helpful facts, stories, and lessons from this great saint's life. From sticking his head inside of the Tabernacle to dictating several books at once, there's a lot in his life that we can learn from.

We've all wasted New Year's resolutions, but Fr Columba suggests something different this year. Pray, play, pray again ... and then decide. What is God asking you to work on this year?

Jesus' celibacy is a sign that he is searching for us; he is the bridegroom and We, the Church, are his bride. The celibacy of each priest is a reminder of this fact: that, no matter our vocation in this life, we are all called to ultimately be "married" to Christ in Heaven. This week, Fr Columba shares his experience of the call to celibacy with us.

When it comes to time, there seem to be two extremes: we either have too much (think of a long meeting) or too little. We're either bored or we're stressed out and busy, so how can we win? Fr Columba provides a solution: he suggests that time is a gift, and that God (who is outside of time) has given us "just enough" — not too much, not too little.

After all the preparation and build-up, do you ever find yourself feeling a little empty, lost, even disappointed on Christmas day? This reaction is incredibly normal. Fr Columba suggests three ways that we can combat this common tendency, and keep Christmas to what it's all about.

Have you ever noticed something funny about how we give gifts? Father Columba explains how gift-giving can be a reflection of God, or … how it can be more like trading at the marketplace. Which will you choose this Christmas?

With Advent starting this Sunday, Fr Columba looks at how we can use this Advent — not just to prepare to remember Jesus' first coming, but to actually prepare for when he comes again. Among Fr Columba's suggestions are an Advent fast and how to use the Mass to develop a spirituality of "Come" — a spirituality of longing for Jesus to come again, longing for him to set us, and the world, right.

Father Columba has encountered many ghosts in his time. Some good, some bad. He shares how to know the difference, and what we should do when we encounter one.
