Walking with the Word - A Simple Catholic Gospel Reflection
God is not a vending machine… and Jesus definitely ignores social distancing
Today’s Mass readings remind us—very clearly—that God is not a vending machine and definitely not a lucky charm we take out only when life goes wrong.In this short and humorous reflection, we laugh our way through:Israel trying (and failing) to use the Ark of the Covenant as a “guaranteed win”A Psalm that sounds suspiciously like a desperate prayer we’ve all prayed beforeJesus breaking every social rule by touching a leper—and changing his life foreverWith relatable jokes, everyday examples, and gentle faith-filled insight, this episode helps us see that real...

Are You Listening… or Just Hearing?
Are You Listening… or Just Hearing?We all nod sometimes without really listening — and today’s Mass readings gently call us out on it.In this short, 3-minute reflection, we journey with young Samuel learning to recognize God’s voice, pray with the psalmist who says “Here I am, Lord,” and walk with Jesus who heals, withdraws to pray, and reminds us why He came in the first place.With a touch of humor and very real life examples, this episode invites us to slow down, quiet the noise, and rediscover what it means to tru...

God Hears You… Even When People Don’t
Ever prayed so quietly that people around you totally misunderstood… but God didn’t? Today’s Mass readings remind us that God hears sincere prayers, flips impossible situations, and speaks with an authority that even chaos can’t ignore.With a touch of humour and very real-life moments, this episode connects Hannah’s heartfelt prayer, the Psalm’s joyful reversals, and Jesus’ powerful authority in the Gospel. A short, reflective, and light-hearted way to start your day — whether you’re Catholic, preparing for the faith, or just learning to trust God one prayer at a time.

Monday, 12 January 2026 Monday of the 1st Week in Ordinary TimeToday’s readings invite us to pray without giving up and to respond to God without delay.In the First Reading, we meet Hannah, a woman who carries deep pain but refuses to stop trusting God.

Baptism of the Lord — 11 January 2026
On the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, we reflect on the moment Jesus steps into the waters of the Jordan — not because He needed cleansing, but to stand fully with humanity.As the heavens open and the Spirit descends, God’s voice declares His love before any miracle, sermon, or public success. This episode invites us to remember our own baptism — our identity as beloved children of God, called not to perfection, but to faithfulness.A short, reflective, and gently humorous meditation connecting Scripture to everyday life, reminding us that God enters our mess...

“He Must Increase… Even When My Ego Doesn’t Like It”
Mass Readings Reflection – 10 January 2026 (Saturday)Today’s Mass readings remind us of three simple but challenging truths: God hears our prayers (even the messy ones), He delights in His people (yes, even us), and real discipleship means letting Jesus take the spotlight.In this short 3-minute reflection, we explore: • Why prayer isn’t an online order form • How praise doesn’t require perfection • What “He must increase; I must decrease” looks like in everyday lifeWith gentle humor and practical insight, this episode connects the First Reading from 1 John, the joyful Psalm, and the Gospel’s power...

Friday, 9 January 2026 – Faith That Works, Healing That Touches
Today’s readings remind us that faith doesn’t have to be complicated—it just has to be real.From 1 John, we hear the reassuring truth that believing in Jesus isn’t a future promise on probation, but a present gift: eternal life, already given. The Psalm calls us to praise God even when life feels messy, delayed, or mildly irritating. And in the Gospel, Jesus does something shocking—He touches the one everyone else avoids, heals him, and then disappears to pray.This short, humorous reflection connects Scripture to everyday life with warmth, wit, and honest...

Thursday, 8 January 2026 | After EpiphanyWhat does it really mean to love God… when people are very hard to love?Today’s Mass readings don’t let us hide behind “I love God” while ignoring everyone else. St John reminds us that real love always shows up in action, and Jesus boldly announces His mission to heal, free, and challenge hearts — starting with the people who think they already know Him.In this short, light-hearted reflection, we explore:Why loving God is easy, but loving people is the real Christian workoutJesus’ first “sermon” — and why it made ever...

Love, Storms, and Spiritual Selective Vision
On this Wednesday of the Christmas season, today’s readings remind us of a simple but demanding truth: God is love — and that love must be lived, not just spoken.From the First Letter of John, we hear that fear has no place in perfect love. In the Gospel, the disciples struggle against the storm, failing at first to recognise Jesus walking toward them on the water — a powerful reminder that fear can cloud our vision even when God is already near.With light humor and practical reflection, this episode invites Catholics and catechumens to trust...

Tuesday, 6 January 2026 “When Love Shows Up with Snacks”
What happens when compassion meets inconvenience?Today’s readings remind us that God is love — not an idea, not a feeling, but a love that shows up first, stays patient, and feeds people who didn’t plan ahead. From St John’s bold reminder that love begins with God, to the Gospel scene where Jesus feeds a hungry crowd with what looks like a very underwhelming picnic, we’re invited to laugh a little… and reflect a lot.In this short daily reflection, we explore:Why Christian love is not optional (or theoretical)How God works wi...

In today’s reflection for 03 January 2026, we sit with the quiet weight of the Christmas season — after the lights, after the noise, when faith gets honest.The readings remind us that we are called children of God, not as a title, but as a way of living. Saint John challenges us to grow up spiritually, the Psalm invites us to sing a new song, and John the Baptist points us to Jesus — the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.With a touch of dark humor and grounded reflection, this episode explor...
