Wednesday, October 31 - If you can’t be a good Christian, be a good Muslim

Romans 8:26-30
The Spirit comes to help us in our weakness. For when we cannot choose words in order to pray properly, the Spirit himself expresses our plea in a way that could never be put into words, and God who knows everything in our hearts knows perfectly well what he means, [...]

Tuesday, October 30 - Perseverance

Romans 8:18-25
I think what we suffer in this life can never be compared to the glory, as yet unrevealed, which is waiting for us. The whole creation is eagerly waiting for God to reveal his sons. It was not for any fault on the part of creation that it was made [...]

SPI Discussion Forum

Haha! I was just blogging about Catholic discussion forums when I came across this email that informed me that the Singapore Pastoral Institute has a new discussion forum available. I think it my duty to help spread the word so that the forum can gain the minimum number of members to [...]

Roman Catholics in Singapore

I’ve always been searching for a local Catholic discussion forum that has remained active for some time, but never found one. Most of those that I know of died after several months, probably due to the lack of participation and base number of members. Only those that are restricted to mailing [...]

Monday, October 29 - Communion

Romans 8:12-17
My brothers, there is no necessity for us to obey our unspiritual selves or to live unspiritual lives. If you do live in that way, you are doomed to die; but if by the Spirit you put an end to the misdeeds of the body you will live.
Everyone moved [...]

Sunday, October 28 - A Lesson In Humility

Ecclesiasticus 35:12-14, 16-19
The Lord is a judge
who is no respecter of personages.
He shows no respect of personages to the detriment of a poor man,
he listens to the plea of the injured party.
He does not ignore the orphan’s supplication,
nor the widow’s as she pours out her story.
The man who with his whole heart serves [...]

Primary purpose of the Mass

I realised that it’s been a while since I last wrote anything in this blog, except for my daily reflections which aren’t so daily these days!
Just a couple of quotes here, regarding the liturgy from a book that I’m reading, the first one is aimed particularly at those who say that [...]

Saturday, October 27 - A Whole New World

Romans 8:1-11
The reason why those who are in Christ Jesus are not condemned, is that the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. God has done what the Law, because of our unspiritual nature, was unable to do. God [...]

Friday, October 26 - TOB-TOB

Romans 7:18-25
I know of nothing good living in me - living, that is, in my unspiritual self - for though the will to do what is good is in me, the performance is not, with the result that instead of doing the good things I want to do, I carry out [...]

Thursday, October 25 - Stand up for Jesus!

Romans 6:19-23
If I may use human terms to help your natural weakness: as once you put your bodies at the service of vice and immorality, so now you must put them at the service of righteousness for your sanctification.
When you were slaves of sin, you felt no obligation to righteousness, and [...]
