Is it wrong to eat just because something tastes good? Fr Columba shares Fr Mike Schmitz's teaching on the two purposes of eating, nourishment and pleasure, and explains why pursuing either one on its own is fine, but working against the other becomes a problem. He applies the same principle to gluttony and temperance, showing that enjoying good food is part of how God built us, not something to feel guilty about. If you've ever felt torn between discipline and enjoyment at the table, this offers a simple way to think it through. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #287 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

Is it ever okay for Catholics to badmouth the Pope online? Fr Columba draws a clear line between disagreeing with a pope's personal opinions and disrespecting the office itself, and shows through saints like Padre Pio and St Francis why reverence for the office matters even when the person in it falls short. He explains what the Church actually teaches about infallibility, and where that line sits. If you've ever wondered how to hold criticism and respect together, this episode maps it out. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #286 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

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.

Do you turn prayer into a negotiation, bargaining with God until you get the outcome you want? Fr Columba shares a story from summer camp, praying for good weather on a beach trip, only to watch the rain start on the way there, to show what trust actually looks like. Instead of trying to control what God does, he's learned to trust that God loves the people we're praying for more than he ever could, and has something better planned no matter how things look. It's a shift that changes how you pray, and how much peace you carry into whatever happens next. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #288 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

The rosary can start to feel like empty repetition if you don't know what it actually is. Fr Columba breaks it down: it's a litany, a repeated pattern of praise and intercession directed to Mary, built word for word out of Scripture. He explains why that repetition is the point, not a flaw, then shares two stories of what happened when friends prayed a rosary expecting nothing. If yours has turned into something to get through, he offers one simple fix: stop racing to the end and actually pray it. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #285 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.
