Fr. Peter Wee touches on doubt, which is the absence of certainty, today in all of the 3 readings.

For the first reading, Elijah flees from Ahab and Jezebel after killing the prophets of Baal. He is despondent and full of doubt, but the angels fed him and he had his theophany in the cave in the form of a gentle breeze where God gave him a mission.

Similarly, Paul in the second reading was sorrowful that the Jews in Rome did not accept Christ, yet he depends fully on Christ.

Finally, in the gospel, after the multiplication of loaves, in the middle of the night, the apostles were fearful when they saw Jesus coming towards their boat in the midst of a tumultuous sea. Peter instead, kept his eyes on Jesus and walked on water towards him, until he got distracted and started to sink, then Jesus put out his hand and held him.

In our lives, we will be faced with doubt, trials and tribulations. Like these 3 readings, we have to focus on God, on Jesus and be conscious of Jesus in our Christian life.

How do we get Christ consciousness? We have to spend time with the Lord, pray and reflect daily, so that He guides us during our trials and tribulations.

Fr. Sikstus reminds us that God's love and mercy are constant, and His blessings invite us to become blessings to others. Reflecting on Jesus feeding the 5000, he draws three lessons:

1. Trust in God's providence

2. Recognize the Eucharist as a call to community and sharing, and

3. Remembering that "sharing is caring."

What we give need not be food or wealth. It can be our time, presence, consolation, prayer or faith. Jesus' words, "Give them something to eat yourselves," challenge us to ask: Who needs something from me today, and what can I give?

Reflecting on Matthew 13:44–52, Fr. Joe Royan invites us to consider what we treasure most in life. Although the world offers many possessions and distractions, they often leave us dissatisfied and empty. Jesus alone can satisfy the deepest longing of our hearts. When we recognise Him as our greatest treasure and place God first, Mass, prayer, fasting and penance are transformed from duties and sacrifices into joyful expressions of faith, gratitude and love.

On the Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer, Father Siktus reflects on the heart of the Redemptorist mission: “With Him, there is plentiful redemption.” Explaining the meaning of CSsR and the congregation’s motto, he reminds us that God’s redeeming love is abundant, freely offered to every person, regardless of their past or unworthiness.

Drawing from St Paul’s teaching, Father Siktus contrasts Adam and Christ: through Adam came sin and death, but through Jesus come grace, life, and the hope of salvation. In the Gospel, Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus reveals the Father’s greatest gift: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.” Through the Cross, Christ opens the way to eternal life for all who believe in Him.

Quoting St Alphonsus Liguori, Father Siktus describes God’s love as “crazy with love”- a love that never gives up, always forgives, and continually welcomes us home. As recipients of this abundant redemption, we are invited to become instruments of that same compassionate, forgiving, and life-giving love to everyone we encounter.

In this homily, Fr. Eugene shares a story about the evil one’s most effective tool: the seed of discouragement. While it takes root quickly in most places, it cannot grow in a grateful heart. This ties directly into the Parable of the Sower, illustrating how different hearts respond to God's word:

• The Path: Hardened by pride, disappointment, and repeated sin; God’s message cannot enter.
• Rocky Ground: Shallow hearts where faith sprouts quickly but lacks depth, easily giving in to suffering.
• Thorns: Crowded hearts distracted by worries, riches, and worldly desires, hiding discouragement.
• Good Soil: A heart surrendered to God’s will. Gratitude guards this soil, producing lasting virtues, peace, and joy.

Ultimately, we choose our soil. Where gratitude guards the heart, discouragement loses, and God’s word bears lasting fruit.

In this homily, Fr. Prabhu reflects on how we often answer "I'm fine" while secretly carrying hidden burdens - worry, guilt, grief, loneliness. Drawing from the Gospel, he unpacks three movements:

1. Jesus reveals who He is

2. His unique bond with the Father; and

3. What He offers us

The homily centres on Christ's invitation, "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest." Fr. Prabhu explains the image of the yoke - how an older ox helps carry the younger one's weight - showing that Christ walks beside us, bearing what we cannot. The message for us to reflect on is burdens remain, but we're never alone in carrying them.

Fr Simon’s draws from Matthew 10:37– on the spirit of welcome. While we often come to Church expecting God to welcome us, Fr Simon invites us to ask whether we are truly welcoming God in return.

The Gospel challenges us to examine our attitude: Do we come to Mass only expecting a fast sermon, going through the motions or do we come ready to receive Christ fully? If God welcomes us with love, our response should be to embrace Him and also welcome one another in our daily interactions.

Fr Simon challenges us to integrate this spirit of welcome into our spiritual life: to welcome Christ, participate fully in the Mass, and remain open to a fresh encounter with God in every Eucharist.

In his homily, Father Terence reflected on how fear can quietly shape the way we live. Using the image of a dog conditioned to remain within an invisible boundary, he showed how fear can keep us trapped even when the barriers are no longer there.

He identified two sources of challenge in our lives. The first comes from outside: misunderstanding, criticism, and opposition for doing what is right, as experienced by the prophet Jeremiah. The second rises from within: our struggle with sin, which distances us from God and leaves us trapped in guilt and shame.

When fear takes hold, we shrink - growing silent when truth needs to be spoken and passive when courage is required.

Yet in the Gospel, Jesus repeatedly tells us, “Do not be afraid.” We are never alone. Armed with God's truth and His love, we are called to step beyond our fears and live with genuine freedom and conviction.

Sunday Homily by Fr. Terence Wee, C.Ss.R. (21 June 2026)

When did we last look at another person and wonder what type of burdens and troubles they going through and what type of compassion we can render?

Today’s Gospel is on compassion - Jesus looks at his people, filled with compassion, He shepherds them and ministers to them. We can be compassionate just like Jesus is compassionate. Unfortunately, in this world of advanced technology, we can forget and look past people, but we are not called to be bystanders, but to actively participate in the mission of Jesus. Perhaps, we should pause, reflect for a moment, try to understand the struggles of others and reach out to be shepherds to others.

On this Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, Fr. Clement reminds us that the Eucharist is far more than a ritual - it is a transformation. "We become what we eat," he proclaims, calling us to recognize Christ not only on the Blessed Sacrament, but in one another.

Drawing from the readings and Gospel of John, Fr. Clement reflects on humanity's deepest hunger - for peace, forgiveness, healing, and love - and how Jesus meets us in the Blessed Sacrament.

The Eucharist is not a reward for the sinless. Instead, it is a healing remedy for those who are struggling. We leave the table nourished and sent forth: His living presence in the world.
