2022-05-15 13:01:20 Jesus gives His disciples a “new commandment” that they must love one another as He has loved them. This is how the world will be able to recognise them as His disciples.

This commandment calls for love without limits, conditions or prerequisites which is very different from what the world understands about love. It is a love that is demonstrated by service and sacrifice, as shown in Jesus’ own sacrifice on the cross for humanity.

We can also see this in the witness of martyrs, the lives of the saints and in the ordinary people who live and love daily, making small and large sacrifices for others. May we all respond to the universal invitation to be light and love to all we meet today.

𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
In order to better love others, we also need to be able to love ourselves. What are some areas that we find difficult to love about ourselves?

2022-05-08 13:00:25 In this Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus describes His relationship with His followers using the imagery of a shepherd who looks after his sheep. Like a shepherd, Jesus knows each of us by name and constantly calls us back into His flock.

Although Jesus’ call goes out to all, many of us remain stuck in the trappings of this world, unable to refuse earthly attachments and to endure the difficulties that accompany a life in Christ. Even though Jesus provides us with the promise that He will always be there to shelter His flock, it still requires a response from our part.

Only when we accept the call of Jesus Christ, will our relationship with Him grow and allow us to experience the fullness of life. How would you respond to His voice today?

𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
Are you able to recognise the voice of Jesus in your life? What can you do to better discern God’s presence in all things?

2022-05-05 06:30:01 Archbishop William Goh has written a pastoral letter on seeking God's merciful healing and vigilance in protecting our young. He urges us to “pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us to strengthen our Catholic organizations, councils and institutions so that we emerge a safer, credible, stronger and more compassionate Church.”

2022-05-01 13:01:33 In the Gospels, Peter was re-discovering the Jesus he had followed for three years when He appeared to the disciples for the third time after His resurrection. The apostles were fishing when Jesus instructed them on where to cast their nets, and they had a great catch. Then Peter recognised Jesus and swam to Him.

As we continue on our faith journey, we, like Peter and the Apostles, are invited to continually ‘recognise’ and discover who Jesus is and what we are called to do - to love Him and others heroically. This invitation is not just at Easter, but is given by Jesus daily for He desires so much for us to love Him and love others in this intense heroic manner. So what will your response be?

Are there areas in your life where you think you will be tempted to return to how it was before the Lenten season?
