Apostolic foundation.

I have said these things to you while I am still with you. The 6th Sunday of Easter continues to present key aspects of our faith and practice in relation to Jesus's resurrection, in particular the apostolic foundation upon which believers ought to build their lives upon.  

Allow the holy spirit to guide us.

The Gospel this Sunday sounds so simple: "Love one another."

But it is not easy to do in real life. Hence, we have the assurance from the Lord himself: "As I have loved you, so you should love one another." Let us 'source out' the power to love from the very love that Jesus has for us. We are 'loved' so we also have the power to love. 

The Good Shepherd knows his sheep; he cares for them and they will never perish. But the Shepherd is also the Lamb who has been offered for the life of the world, by whose blood we have been washed and saved.

Breakfast with Jesus.

The readings of the 3rd Sunday of Easter continue to explore the effects of Jesus's resurrection on the disciples. These effects could be summed up as gifts as the disciples are accorded a special dignity because of their connection to the conqueror of death, the Risen Lord. Take heart, be encouraged to spread these gifts with others!

The Lord says, "See, I am doing something new!"

May we perceive the marvels the Lord is doing in our lives as we draw nearer to the day of salvation!

Half-way in our Lenten journey, we meditate on the touching parable of the Prodigal Son where we 'taste and see' the unconditional love of the Father. He welcomes with open arms both the pleasure-loving son (younger) and the duty-driven, judgmental son (elder). May God's offer of reconciliation be our source of rejoicing!

Feeling spiritually lost sometimes?
The readings for the 3rd Sunday of Lent reflect on the image of the spiritual wilderness.  Like us, many biblical characters were lost and confused at various crucial points of their lives.
Their stories provide insights on the ways to overcome these states of desolation. 

Keep the faith to fight uncertainty.

The second Sunday of lent readings are stories of several biblical characters who find themselves in a state of uncertainty and confusion.  In the end, it was faith in the Lord which pulled them through. 

Lost?  Come join us.

Professing the Faith.

Lent is a time of preparation for the celebration & commemoration of the events foundational to our faith.  The readings of this first Sunday of Lent explore the meaning of faith and suggest how best to express it.  How do you profess your faith? 

Good advice to live by.

Using ordinary images from daily life, this Sunday's readings teach a message about living an integrate life which will allow both our soul and body to reach heaven. Come and share your good fruits with your family.
