Worrying can be a form of attempted control. But when we worry it’s lose-lose: it ruins our peace, and often ruins the outcome of whatever we’re try to achieve. It’s not always easy, but it’s certainly always better to surrender to God. Fr Columba offers advice on how.

Yearning for connection with God isn't necessarily a pleasant experience, but it can be incredibly formative. In the difficult times, the spiritual winters, when connection with God feels at the same time far off and deeply desirable — these are the moments, the crucial points at which our faith can grow deeper roots. If, of course, we are willing.

Money isn’t always what it’s hyped up to be. In theory it should make life easier, take away our stress — but this isn’t always the case. Perhaps it’s down to how we use our money, not the amount we actually have. And, certainly, how we prioritise it and order it within our lives.

Jesus’ wounds teach us a lot. In his resurrected, glorified state — Jesus keeps his wounds. Why? And, if Jesus keeps the signs of his wounds in his perfect state — what does that say about us and our wounds, whatever form they take? In at least some cases, can our past weaknesses, our visible (or invisible) wounds come to their perfection in God, for His greater glory and even our own salvation? It may just be possible.

It's nice when the world sees our talents, isn't it? Not so nice when we have to do something we're not so great at. How do you show up in either scenario: doing something you're gifted at, or doing something you're rather lousy at? Can you give God your lousy best, or will your pride get in the way?

Do you desire fame, either big scale or small scale? So did Sr Clare Crockett, and so does everyone else, to some extent. But this doesn’t have to mean you’re a narcissist, it actually might just mean you’re human. And being human involves an innate desire to be known — that can only fully be satisfied by the One who made us.

Are you doing enough to save your soul? At the end of your days, will you face mercy or justice — eternal reward, or eternal punishment? These big questions are wrapped up in the seeming contradiction between justice and mercy. Yet, miraculously, in God we find 100% mercy and 100% justice. In Him, all things come to perfection.
