In this heartfelt sharing, Fr Simon Tan reflected on his journey of discovering the power and presence of God through Scripture, personal prayer, and ministering to others. He recounted his own struggles with understanding the Bible as a young man and how a transformative moment in prayer led him to experience God's Word as active and alive.

He calls on families, especially parents, to set an example for their children by prioritizing prayer, Mass, and reflection. As we enter the Advent season, we are reminded on the need to prepare our hearts by allowing the Word of God to transform us, bringing meaning and joy to our celebration of Christmas.
