| Ep. 295 | Consumerism Is Starving Your Soul | 22 oct. 2026 | 00:07:52 | |
Do you ever feel stuck on the hamster wheel, always consuming more content, more stuff and more noise, and still never satisfied? In this episode of Little by Little, Fr Columba names consumerism as something we've made a bit of a god of today. He turns to the days of creation: the sixth day, when the beasts were made, and the seventh, God's day of rest, covenant and contemplation. He shows how our small, everyday choices are always building something: either a life driven by appetite or a life that grows more like God. If you feel restless or never quite full, this is an invitation to stop chasing more and rest in the One who can fill every gap. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #295 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 294 | When Being Nice Is Actually Evil | 15 oct. 2026 | 00:06:41 | |
Do you avoid hard conversations, keeping the peace until something finally gives? In this episode, Fr Columba looks at why confrontation feels so difficult and why Jesus never shied away from it. Drawing on Christ's teaching about going to a brother who has wronged you, he explains the difference between being nice and being loving, and how needing to be liked can stop us from being real with the people we care about. If you find it hard to speak up, this is an invitation to a love that is honest, free and willing to get its wellies dirty. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #294 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 293 | The Device That Is Stealing Your Joy | 08 oct. 2026 | 00:10:54 | |
Do you ever reach for your phone the moment something beautiful happens? In this episode, Fr Columba shares memories of his mother stopping the car to photograph the Donegal scenery, and of watching clouds pour down a cliff face at the Grand Canyon while everyone around him clicked away. Drawing on Monsignor Giussani and Arthur Brooks, he explores why beauty moves us: it is greater than we are, and being struck by it is a quietly religious act. Our phones can also put a wall between us and that encounter, and quietly rob us of the joy it brings. This is an invitation to pause before you press the button, let yourself be struck, and sometimes just leave your phone at home. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #293 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| BONUS: A Prayer for the Feast of St Francis | 04 oct. 2026 | 00:08:59 | |
Do you ever feel your faith has grown cold? This year marks 800 years since St Francis of Assisi died in 1226. To honour the anniversary, Fr Columba leads us in this litany to our Seraphic Father. Francis was the little poor man who kissed the feet of his brothers, rebuilt the Church and saw beauty itself in beautiful things. Eight centuries on, the closing prayer still asks what God did through him "when the world was growing cold": to rekindle the flame of love in our hearts. Pray along with the words on screen, and ask St Francis to help you love Christ as he did. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 292 | The Phrase Keeping You From God | 01 oct. 2026 | 00:11:11 | |
When someone asks how you are, do you say "fine" and move on? Fr Columba explores an idea drawn from St John Paul II's theology of the body: that we exist to be a gift to others, and that ordinary conversation is one of the most normal ways we give and receive love. He unpacks why always saying "I'm fine" can quietly shut people out, why that leaves us feeling empty and alone, and why learning to open our hearts to others helps us open them to God in prayer. If you've been keeping everyone at arm's length, this is an invitation to let them in. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #292 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 291 | Have You Forgotten How to Rest? | 24 sept. 2026 | 00:14:17 | |
Do you know how to switch off, or do you just know how to keep going? Fr Columba explores an idea from the philosopher Josef Pieper: that leisure, real rest, is the basis of culture, and it isn't the same thing as amusement. Drawing on Aristotle and his own struggle with burnout, he unpacks why so many of us only know how to work and how to be entertained, but never how to simply be. If you've ever finished a holiday more tired than when you started, this is an invitation to actually rest. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #291 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 290 | Why the Priesthood Matters More Than You Think | 17 sept. 2026 | 00:13:14 | |
Why does the priesthood matter so much? Holding a relic of St John Vianney, Fr Columba reflects on a line he's carried since his ordination day: the priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus. He explains why the Eucharist and confession can only reach us through a priest, why that makes the priesthood about Christ's love rather than power, and shares an honest, personal account of hearing his own call. He closes with a simple ask: pray for the priests in your life. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #290 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 289 | Stop Saving Prayer for "Later" | 10 sept. 2026 | 00:06:35 | |
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.

| Ep. 288 | Stop Negotiating With God (Trust Instead) | 03 sept. 2026 | 00:08:23 | |
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.

| Ep. 287 | Gluttony Isn't What You Think | 27 août 2026 | 00:07:43 | |
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.

| Ep. 286 | Can Catholics Criticise the Pope? | 20 août 2026 | 00:11:56 | |
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.

| Ep. 285 | How to Actually Pray the Rosary | 13 août 2026 | 00:13:18 | |
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.

| Ep. 284 | What Makes You Righteous? | 06 août 2026 | 00:11:45 | |
What would it actually feel like to know, deep down, that the Father delights in you? Fr Columba leads you through a simple exercise: imagine you had none of it, no closeness, no confidence, no boldness before God, and ask yourself if you'd even want it. Then he shows why you don't have to chase it. It's already yours in Christ, sealed at the cross, where Jesus took your sin as his own so you could stop hiding. This is an invitation to feel that, not just agree with it. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #284 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 283 | What a Stranger on a Plane Taught Me About God | 30 juil. 2026 | 00:09:58 | |
Have you ever heard someone talk about "the universe" instead of God, and felt strangely annoyed? Fr Columba unpacks a conversation with a stranger who used exactly that language, and asks what people really mean when they reach for "the universe" instead of a name. He walks through what makes something worthy of that kind of trust, unknowable, larger than time, holding us in being, and shows how close that language already is to naming God. If you've ever wanted a gentler way to meet someone where they are, this is a good place to start. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #283 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 282 | Are You Loving People, or Using Them? | 23 juil. 2026 | 00:08:47 | |
Do you ever catch yourself doing something and only later wonder why you actually did it? Fr Columba shares a simple discernment tool from St Faustina's diary: before any decision, stop and ask whether it's for God's glory, the good of your own soul, or the good of others. Paired with St John Paul II's contrast between love and use, it becomes a quick, honest way to check your real motives, even when the answer is uncomfortable. If you've ever wondered what's actually driving your choices, this is a simple place to start. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #282 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 281 | Is Scrolling Damaging Your Soul? | 16 juil. 2026 | 00:10:51 | |
Do you ever notice that scrolling never actually leaves you satisfied? Fr Columba unpacks why the infinite scroll is built that way on purpose, always teasing, never filling, and contrasts it with what heaven actually offers: God's full, undistracted attention and a satisfaction that lasts. Hell wants to use you and sell your attention. Heaven wants to give itself to you completely. If you've ever felt stuck in the scroll, this is an invitation to notice it, hit pause, and choose contemplation instead. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #281 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 280 | The One Thing Keeping You From Holiness | 09 juil. 2026 | 00:07:59 | |
Ever felt like living a holy life should be easier than it is? Fr Columba unpacks a line from St Francis de Sales that stopped him in his tracks: a devout life is easy, delightful, and desirable. Drawing on the plain image of building a habit at the gym, he shows how virtue starts hard and becomes easy, and how our own self-sabotage, not just the devil, keeps us stuck. His practical challenge: stop overthinking it, pick the one thing you already know you need to do, and just do it, imperfectly, every single day for a month. This is an invitation to trust that God's grace, not your own willpower, is what makes holiness possible. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #280 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 279 | The Fastest Way to Ask Our Lady for Help | 02 juil. 2026 | 00:07:58 | |
Ever been in a crisis with no time to sit down and pray? Fr Columba shares the express novena: nine Memorares said one after another instead of stretched over nine days, a fast, trusted way to call on Our Lady's help. He traces it back to Saint Mother Teresa's community and shares a few small miracles he's seen firsthand, then prays it with you so you'll already know the words next time an emergency hits. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #279 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 278 | Are You Ignoring the "Small" Sins? | 25 juin 2026 | 00:05:18 | |
Do you find yourself focused on the big stuff while the smaller sins just quietly accumulate? In this episode, Fr Columba draws on the famous broken windows theory from 1990s New York to make a simple but uncomfortable point: the small sins you're ignoring might be exactly what's fuelling the bigger ones. He offers a practical encouragement to look at the low-hanging fruit, deal with the little stuff, and discover that the bigger struggles often begin to lose their grip. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #278 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 277 | Why You Keep Going Back to Sin | 18 juin 2026 | 00:06:14 | |
Do you ever feel like you're not actually changing, that you keep falling back into the same patterns no matter how hard you try? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on breaking his leg and discovering something unexpected: surgery works from the inside, so you don't need a cast on the outside. The change is real, even when you can't see it. He draws out the parallel to the spiritual life: God has already done something in you, something hidden, something solid, but the temptation is always to grab for the old ways because they're familiar. This is an invitation to cross what he calls the chicken line, to stop reaching for the cast and start trusting the surgeon. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #277 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 276 | The Simplest Solution to Fear I've Ever Found | 11 juin 2026 | 00:02:04 | |
Do you struggle with fear or anxiety? In this episode, Fr Columba shares the simplest solution he's ever come across, and it took him years to find it. List the fear, ask God to take it away, ask God to direct you toward what He'd have you do. It sounds too easy. But it works. Wherever you are, whatever you're afraid of, try it. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #276 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 275 | What Turns Suffering Into Holiness? (A Catholic Priest Answers) | 04 juin 2026 | 00:10:40 | |
Do you ever wonder why some people are transformed by suffering while others just survive it? In this episode, Fr Columba shares the story of a friend who died young of MS, and what he saw on her face in the hospice chapel: not grief, but glory. Drawing on St Paul's letter to the Romans, a talk by Fr Mike Schmitz, and a memorably dramatic night of very mild sleep deprivation, he explores why the same suffering produces radically different outcomes in different people. The difference, it turns out, is not how much you suffer. It's whether you shake your fist or say yes. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #275 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 274 | What Most People Get Wrong About Christianity | 28 mai 2026 | 00:05:31 | |
Do you think of Christianity as a set of rules? A list of dos and don'ts? In this episode, Fr Columba opens with a striking line from the Acts of the Apostles: the angel doesn't tell the disciples to preach a doctrine or teach a philosophy. He tells them to share "this way of life." Drawing on his own experience of encountering Catholic teaching on the human person for the first time, Fr Columba walks through the practical essentials that actually make us human: works of charity, daily prayer, the sacraments, real fellowship in the Church, and passing the faith on to others. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #274 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 273 | The Key to Spiritual Healing | 21 mai 2026 | 00:05:07 | |
What does it actually mean to be healed by the blood of Jesus? Recovering from leg surgery, Fr Columba reflects on the slow, hidden work of physical healing as a window into how the soul is healed in the Eucharist and confession. The wound closes because the blood is doing its job. Our part is to stop rushing it. A few unhurried minutes in your pew after Mass do more than we realise. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #273 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 272 | Why You Keep Losing Your Peace | 14 mai 2026 | 00:05:37 | |
Do you ever feel like God is irrelevant to your actual daily life? In this episode of Little by Little, Fr Columba leans into a piece of wisdom from Alcoholics Anonymous: every problem we face is, at root, of our own making. Drill into the anxiety, the lost peace, the frustration, and the cause is almost always the same. We are quietly trying to play God. Letting him take that seat back is more practical than we think. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #272 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 271 | The Real Reason You Stopped Praying | 07 mai 2026 | 00:09:36 | |
Have you ever skipped prayer and told yourself you were just tired, busy, or stuck on your phone? In this episode of Little by Little, Fr Columba names the harder truth underneath all of it. Every time we cut a corner with God, what we're really saying is "I know best." He shares why daily prayer is the single non-negotiable in the spiritual life, why he still struggles with it himself, and how getting radically honest about pride is the first step back to real prayer. An invitation to stop dressing up self-will and start showing up again, even with the worst prayer of your life. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #271 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 270 | I Broke My Leg (Here's What I Learned) | 30 avr. 2026 | 00:10:08 | |
Have you ever braced for a pain that hadn't actually arrived? After breaking his leg, Fr Columba noticed something strange in the hospital: most of what he was feeling wasn't pain at all, it was the fear of pain. Drawing on Arthur Brooks and Jesus in Gethsemane, he reflects on how to tell the two apart, and how Christ meets us in both. An honest, gentle reflection if you're carrying real suffering, or just living in dread of it. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #270 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Stop Fixating on the Church's Problems | 23 avr. 2026 | 00:04:15 | |
You may have heard, Fr Columba recently broke his leg and is taking some time to rest and recover. While he's off his feet, we're re-showing an old favourite episode, still feels as relevant as ever. Please keep him in your prayers, especially for patience and a steady recovery.Do you spend more time worrying about what's wrong with the Church than actually bringing people to Jesus? In this episode, Fr Columba opens Acts 1, where the disciples press Jesus for information about the kingdom and Jesus redirects them to the mission he's actually given them. He asks a simple, uncomfortable question: is the fruit of your faith showing up in the lives of others, or have the weeds of distraction quietly choked it? A short, honest invitation to check where your energy is really going. | |||
| Ep. 269 | Learn to See God Like St Francis | 16 avr. 2026 | 00:09:01 | |
Have you ever felt like faith only lives inside church walls or the pages of the Bible? In this episode, Fr Columba takes something as ordinary as water and uses it to trace the whole shape of the Gospel: Christ pouring himself down into our humanity, descending to the lowest place, shattering the gates of hell, and rising so that we rise with him. Drawing on St Francis of Assisi, he shows how creation itself can lift the heart to God when we learn to see it that way. A simple invitation to let everyday things draw you upward. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #269 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 268 | Do Other People’s Prayers Help More Than Yours? | 09 avr. 2026 | 00:07:18 | |
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. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #268 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 267 | Jesus Gave It All (What Will You Give?) | 02 avr. 2026 | 00:11:30 | |
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. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #267 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 266 | Are You Replacing Prayer with Content? | 26 mars 2026 | 00:05:42 | |
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. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #266 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 265 | Learn to Believe You Are Loved | 19 mars 2026 | 00:13:28 | |
Do you struggle to believe that God truly loves you, not just in theory but in your own experience? In this episode, Fr Columba explores why so many people feel unable to receive God’s love, even when they know it is true. He shows how hidden shame and self-rejection can quietly block us from letting that love in, leaving us feeling distant or numb in prayer. By honestly facing what we believe about ourselves and bringing it into the light, we can begin to receive God’s love in a real and transformative way. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #265 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 264 | The Hidden Reason Prayer Feels Hard | 12 mars 2026 | 00:12:41 | |
Do you find it harder than ever to focus, pray, or pursue the things that really matter? In this episode, Fr Columba explores how constant stimulation and “fast dopamine” habits like endless scrolling can quietly undermine our motivation, discipline, and spiritual life. He explains why the Christian life depends on learning to embrace slower, harder practices like prayer, perseverance, and meaningful relationships. When we step away from cheap rewards and begin to pursue what is truly good, our hearts regain the capacity for peace, purpose, and intimacy with God. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #264 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 263 | The Danger of “Just Enough” Christianity | 05 mars 2026 | 00:07:06 | |
Do you ever feel like your faith stays mostly in theory? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the danger of getting “just enough” of God to feel inspired without ever truly being transformed. Using the example of Judas and the Church’s call to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, he shows that real Christianity is not about proximity to Jesus but becoming like Him. Lent invites us to move beyond ideas and into action, to sacrifice, to surrender our idols, and to let God reshape our lives. If you want more than a comfortable faith, this is an invitation to go all in. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #263 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 262 | Why It’s So Hard to Trust God | 26 févr. 2026 | 00:05:52 | |
Do you ever feel spiritually drained, like you’re giving and giving, but running on empty? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on why selfless love can feel impossible when we try to sustain it on our own strength. Drawing on the image of Peter stepping out of the boat and the words of Jesus to St Faustina, he shows that trust is not naïve optimism, but the gateway that allows God to act. The Christian life is not about proving that we are enough, it begins when we admit we are not. If you are tired of carrying everything yourself, this is an invitation to let go, to trust, and to discover that He will provide. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #262 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 261 | Someone Needs Your Faith | 19 févr. 2026 | 00:04:55 | |
Are you letting the Gospel flow through your life, or does it stop with you? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the responsibility and privilege of sharing the faith we have received. Using the image of living water flowing through a tap, he reminds us that we are not the source of grace — but we are called to let it pass through us. The Gospel is not meant to be hidden, edited, or kept private. If someone in your life is thirsty for hope, this reflection invites you to speak with courage, trust God with the outcome, and let the Gospel continue beyond you. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #261 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 260 | The Prayer God Is Waiting For | 12 févr. 2026 | 00:06:21 | |
Do you find yourself telling God information in prayer rather than sharing your heart? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the difference between giving God a report and giving Him yourself. Using the image of a father who is never bored by his child, he reminds us that God does not need to be informed — He already knows everything — but He desires relationship. Whether your prayer feels repetitive, dry, or overly formal, this reflection invites you to speak honestly, bring your real story to God, and rediscover the simplicity of being known and loved. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #260 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 259 | How to Get the Most From Mass | 05 févr. 2026 | 00:08:33 | |
Do you expect Mass to change you? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the quiet but powerful truth that every encounter with God is meant to transform us. Drawing on the image of the Magi returning by a different way, he invites us to examine our expectations at Mass and in prayer, and to rediscover the grace God offers each time we come before Him. Whether you feel distracted, discouraged, or unsure if anything is really happening, this reflection encourages you to approach Mass with faith, hope, and love — and to trust that God is always at work, even when we cannot yet see it. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #259 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 258 | The Lie You Believe About God | 29 janv. 2026 | 00:08:33 | |
Do you find it hard to be vulnerable — even with God? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on why we hide behind masks, why we fear being truly seen, and how this fear can quietly block love and freedom. Using Adam in the Garden as a mirror for the human heart, he shows how shame and distrust twist our thinking and lead us to perform rather than receive. Whether you feel stuck behind a “fake self” or afraid of being rejected, start where you are — let yourself be known — and let God do the rest. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #258 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 257 | Why Your Sin Keeps Winning | 22 janv. 2026 | 00:09:18 | |
Do you find yourself falling into the same sins again, despite your sincere efforts to change? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on why willpower alone is often not enough to overcome habitual sin, and how spiritual dryness can quietly weaken the soul. Drawing on the Church’s wisdom, he explains how God gives consolation not as a reward, but as a remedy to strengthen us where we are wounded. Whether you feel stuck, discouraged, or tired of beginning again, start where you are — receive the grace God offers — and let Him do the rest. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #257 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 256 | Got Spiritual Burn Out? (You’re Going Too Fast) | 15 janv. 2026 | 00:09:48 | |
Do you feel spiritually tired or burned out, even though your desire to follow God is sincere? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on a simple lesson learned through running and how it reveals a common trap in the spiritual life: going faster than the grace God is giving. Through the image of pace, he shows how enthusiasm — whether after a retreat, at the start of a new season, or with good intentions — can sometimes lead us to sprint ahead of the Lord and exhaust ourselves. This reflection invites us to slow down, discern the pace God is asking of us, and rediscover a steady, humble way of growing in faith. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #256 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 255 | The Forgotten Devotion of St Francis | 08 janv. 2026 | 00:09:46 | |
Many of us move through our days without noticing what is closest to us. In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on a quiet but profound truth: the sacred is often ignored not because it is absent, but because we have forgotten how to see. Drawing on the witness of St Francis of Assisi, he invites us to rediscover a deeper reverence for churches and the real presence of Christ within them. This meditation challenges our habits of rushing past holy ground and calls us back to attentiveness, humility, and love — learning again to notice where God has chosen to dwell. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #254 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 254 | Books You Must Read in 2026 (And How to Read Them) | 01 janv. 2026 | 00:12:34 | |
Why does prayer often feel difficult or unfruitful, even when we’re trying our best? Prayer often struggles not because we lack effort, but because we skip what prepares the heart. In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the role of spiritual reading and why prayer bears fruit only when we first learn how to receive. Drawing on the Church’s wisdom, he invites us to slow down, begin again, and let God lead the work. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #254 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 253 | God Came Because You Needed Him | 25 déc. 2025 | 00:11:33 | |
At Christmas, the Father gives us His greatest gift — His Son. In this meditation, Fr Columba reflects on what this reveals about Jesus and about us: that we are from the Father, loved into existence, and not meant to save ourselves. As we contemplate the Child of Bethlehem, we’re invited to let go of self-sufficiency and rediscover the freedom of knowing who we are and where we come from. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #253 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

In this episode, Fr Columba speaks directly to the frustration, disappointment, and even despair that can creep in when our prayers appear unanswered. He explains why God is never ignoring our conversion prayers, why He will never force belief, and how grace really works in the hearts of those we’re praying for. This reflection invites us to let go of control, keep praying with faith and hope, and trust that God is doing far more than we can see. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #252 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 251 | Politicians Are Not God | 11 déc. 2025 | 00:08:10 | |
Do you feel discouraged or hopeless about the state of your country or the world? In this episode, Fr Columba unpacks why placing our hope in politicians or institutions always leads to disappointment—and how easily we turn people into idols by expecting from them what only God can give. Drawing on The Imitation of Christ, he shows that people are channels, not sources, and that real hope returns when we place our trust in God’s power, not human ability. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #251 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

| Ep. 250 | The One Sin Keeping You From God | 04 déc. 2025 | 00:08:02 | |
Do you ever feel frustrated, annoyed, or stuck, like the spiritual life just isn’t “working” for you? In this episode, Fr Columba explores how pride shows up in subtle everyday ways: in complaining, judging, controlling, and resisting the very moments where God is trying to meet us. Drawing on Scripture and real-life examples, he shows how opening our hearts to God’s will, even in the small, inconvenient, or messy things, can transform our day and help us encounter Him more deeply. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #250 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

Do you wonder what Catholics really believe about purgatory or why we pray for the dead? In this episode, Fr Columba breaks open the Church’s teaching with clarity, showing how Scripture, tradition, and even the earliest Christians understood the need for our souls to be purified in love.

| Ep. 248 | Does God Contradict Himself? | 20 nov. 2025 | 00:09:12 | |
Does God ever contradict Himself — or is something else happening when Scripture seems confusing? In this episode, Fr Columba explores why God can appear inconsistent and how these moments are actually invitations into deeper faith, not obstacles to it. Drawing on Scripture, real-life examples, and the wisdom of the Church, he shows how God’s “contradictions” reveal His closeness, not His chaos. Discover how to move from confusion to clarity, from fear to trust — and how embracing mystery can transform your spiritual life. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #248 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.
