Allowing God to use us

We recently celebrated Mother's day on the 10th of May. Father gave a wonderful homily on this special day.


He shared with us how all the mothers have allowed God to use them to create children and more importantly how they continue to allow God to use them to nurture and bring up their children in the Christian faith. Our heavenly Mother Mary is a fine example of this, how she allowed God to use her for the salvation of the world.


I think that all of us need to be open to allow God to use us in our daily lives. We may not know whose life we might be touching at this moment, if we allow God to work through us. Let us be the hands and feet, the voice of God in this world.


Today, a Huge shout out to all mothers, especially my Mum, for allowing God to use you and for bringing us into this world. Thank you for all you do!

Stay close to me in the Eucharist

I find myself drifting further and further away from the Lord. Some days, I find myself aimlessly searching for meaning and purpose.

Father shared with us recently that we need to bear fruit in our life journey here on earth. We need to stay close to the vine in order to bear fruit, else we will be cut off from the vine. Jesus is our vine and we need to stay close to Him. The most evident and obvious way is to spend time with Him in the Eucharist.

I look forward to spending more time with Christ in the Eucharist and I pray that the Lord will grant me the grace to keep to that. May we bear much fruit for the Lord in building His Kingdom here on earth.

Let go of anger and resentment

We are now into Easter, how time flies indeed. It seemed liked yesterday when Father was giving his homily on Easter Sunday.

Father shared a very important life lesson for me on that day. He advised us to let go of anger and resentment. We need to look beyond the actions of others, and not hold on to the anger and resentment that result from their actions. Christ has set the example for us, pleading with the Father to forgive the people who brought about his Crucifixion on the cross. His words:"Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing".

I have been angry and resentful of others who have been very unkind and terrible towards me, I'm sure you would have your fair share of such incidents. I pray that the Lord will grant me the grace to forgive them, but most importantly, may the Lord help me to let go of the anger and resentment that is preventing me from living my life to the fullest. May I take the first little step to move forward this Easter season. I pray the same for you.
