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.🔴 ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland.

Do you engage in negative thoughts about yourself, your life or the world around you? In a previous video (linked below) Fr Columba listed out 10 common negative thought patterns and gave advice on how to avoid them.

As Christians, we are told two things that can seem to contradict each other: that we should trust in God and that we should act boldly. Interestingly, too much of either can lead us to heresy, so it's important to find the right balance.🔴 ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland.

Most of us don’t associate desperation with anything positive. But in the fight against sin, it’s desperation that often helps us realise Who our Saviour is. It’s not a Catholic speaker, or a certain program, or a book or a priest or a friend or a mentor, and it’s certainly not our own sheer will — no, only God can free us from the chain of sin. The sooner we realise this, and live like it’s true, the sooner we will find freedom. (Of course other things can help, but ultimately it will be God...

The Enemy loves our distractions, and Church politics can be one of them. True, there is a place for correcting the Church and helping her to fulfil her mission. But have your efforts been so pointed in that direction — that you’ve forgotten the much more personal, tangible call to evangelise your neighbour?

Satan's power is more limited than we might think. If we are steadfast, if we are resolved to follow God, there's not really much the Enemy can do.

The world is a mess, and it's easy to worry about where it's all going. But just zoom out for a moment, try to see it as God does. While He abhors sin and suffering, He is so much bigger than all of these problems. He sees the bigger picture and He knows there is no need to fear. Remembering this reality can not only reduce our worry and stress to zero, but it will also strengthen our faith in the One Who Knows All.🔴 ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate b...

There's a common lie in the world that followers of Christ must be miserable. We give up so many pleasures of the world, so many things that people base their entire lives on — the confusion is somewhat understandable. But what the world doesn't see is how God is offering us the fullness of life, the fullness of joy. If only the world knew what it was missing out on.

Three things that often freak people out are demons, addiction and counselling. This week Fr Columba looks at all three, and how they are linked. If essentially all sin is addictive, and all of us have some sin in our life, could it also be true that we are all dealing with demons and might even be better off for having deliverance prayers and/or counselling? Join Fr Columba as he explores these questions.🔴 ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ir...
Lots of us spend time and effort learning how to fast — it's difficult, right? Few of us realise we also have to learn how to do the opposite — feast. Yes, it makes sense to pray for the gift of feasting, because the world is constantly trying to dictate what the party looks like. It's meant to be joyful, it's meant to be life giving; not soul destroying and hangover inducing. Pray for the gift to feast well.🔴 ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in...
In Matthew 25 Jesus separates saved souls from damned souls. The dividing line? Love. He lists the acts of charity, things we know we should be doing, but that often fall on the back burner. So, are you acting in love, are you helping those who can't help you back? Or is this a bit of a blind spot for you, as can easily happen? This isn't a condemnation (because everyone has blind spots) but it could be the wakeup call that helps you to change.🔴 ABOUT USCalled to More is a Catholic not-...
