Eucharistic Adoration Even as a faithful catholic, I still learn something new every day or something grabs my attention! So faith is a lifelong journey, each of us are constantly learning with the help of God (if we seek God) about our catholic faith. I look to the example of Little Flower of Jesus, St Therese of Lisieux, who wanted to be a little flower in Jesus Garden, constantly learning about her faith. Today was my usual Holy Hour of Adoration which is held once a week starting with Holy Mass, followed by a quiet Holy Hour of Eucharistic Adoration. One of the ladies handed me the prayer ..read more

Obedience – walk humbly with your God The Lord God wants us to be obedient to His Commandments, the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church. The First Commandment ‘Thou shall love thy God with thy whole heart, mind and soul’. Why do we need to listen to God’s Will? Because Almighty God created the whole universe and each of us are part of His Divine Plan, to work for the greater good of mankind. Everything works together peaceful when we all listen to God. God knows you deeply. God’s Laws are simple to follow. If we don’t obey His Laws, we will encounter obstacles and difficulties in life. Obey ..read more

Gratitude Let us slow down our busy lives and find a quiet place to reflect on where we are today and how can we move forward in life. We need to start with gratitude. If we adopt an attitude of gratitude, we will be able to calm down and find inner peace. So what can we be thankful for if we are experiencing stress and challenges around us right now? Think of the simple things in life, right where you are at this moment, at home or work. Find little things that you enjoy, things you may not have noticed before – nature all around you. Offer Thanksgiving to Almighty Father for the whole of Cr ..read more

Kindness The world is in need of kindness shown to each other. What is kindness? Kindness is showing compassion, understanding and care towards others, whether in thought, word or deed. And as the famous saying goes ‘charity begins at home’. We may be tempted to give in to impatience, anger, contempt and arrogance towards others, but try to do the opposite. One example is making eye contact with people, acknowledging or recognising another person on the street, at work, home, in public. We may not realise it that there are people who may be lonely, hurt, sick and grieving silently. Just a smil ..read more

We are in the middle of Lent! What progress have we made so far? We need to reflect back during the past few weeks. Going into any season of the year, we always make goals, promises, resolutions (e.g. New Year!). It is a good idea to write them down and it is good to keep it as a guidepost. We can see at a glance that we did TRY our best! Yes we make mistakes, but we keep going, moving forward, trying to keep this list in mind. I must admit I always write To Do lists regularly, even start of the New Year, etc. I have kept those pieces of paper. I find looking back that it can take some time to ..read more

Lent is the most Holy time of the year! We walk the way of the Cross, following Christ’s sufferings. Jesus asks us to follow Him. How do we follow Him? What do I need to do? These are some of the questions we have in mind. Jesus accepted His Cross. He didn’t argue with His accusers. He stood silently and courageously. You can follow Jesus story by reading the story of His Birth in the Gospel of St Luke. Jesus’ birth, early life are portrayed in St Luke’s Gospel. So we learn of the story of Jesus parents and the story of St John the Baptist. Both these parents were humble and obedient people ..read more
