About this episode

Fr Columba discusses the struggle of returning to sin and the hidden spiritual changes that occur within us.

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.
