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!

Reading of Year C: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/033025-YearC.cfm

The journey of professing joy.

The Christmas season concludes with the celebration of Jesus's baptism.  It marks the beginning of Jesus public ministry, which will culminate in his death and resurrection. Jesus's work is presented as a journey from sadness to joy.

This week's readings tell us to seek God's path. The psalm sings of God’s faithfulness and kindness. The second reading reminds us that the world might consider our path as a foolish one. In the gospel, Jesus gives us the Beatitudes, which lay out what it means to follow Him.

Greetings and welcome to Gaudete Sunday. Advent is a time of expectation and patience. As we near the last Sunday of Advent, we should be rejoicing about what's ahead. Let's check out this Bible sharing to learn about the Third Sunday of Advent. Please find the readings here.

The readings for the Second Sunday of Advent for Year A are a call to repentance. Repentance involves more than a change of heart, but also a commitment to act in repentance. Readings can be found here: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120422.cfm

Welcome to the first Sunday of the liturgical year A. Unexpectedly, the group has already discussed and reflected on the 'end of the world'. This is to reflect on whether we are ready for Jesus to come and take us to his right side if he comes. Let's explore what reflections are worth taking away.

Please refer here for this Sunday's readings.

Jesus is our king, but he is not a king like those in this world. He frees us from fear and death. On this final Sunday of the liturgical year, let's explore more of what our brothers and sisters have shared. Click here to read today's reading.

As we approach the end of the liturgical year, this week's readings remind us to prepare ourselves even more before the Lord comes to us. Let's hear how our brothers and sisters share their views on this.

Christmas is four days away. Today's reflection reminds us that the Mystery of Incarnation and the Paschal Mystery are the two sides of the same coin. One is incomplete without the other. Enjoy and God bless!

On the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, we discussed the big picture of life. We believe the current life is not the only life. There is an afterlife with God. Let's tune into this podcast and learn from the group. You can get the readings here.

"Therefore you rebuke offenders little by little..." (Wis 12:2). This week's readings are about calling us to repentance. Usually we cannot get it right at first, and God gives us a lot of time and space until we are mature. Listen to this episode to learn about the readings and the beautiful Gospel story.

This week we celebrate Mission Sunday instead of Ordinary Time's 30th Sunday. During the Last Supper, Jesus gave us his Eucharist and prayed for us, and this is the reason we have such a unique love-gifted relationship with Jesus. As a calling on Mission Sunday, we are passing on Jesus' love to one another. Let's listen to these readings for the messages they convey:

First Reading: A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah (60:1-6)

Second Reading: A reading from the Book of Revelation (1:3-8)

Gospel: A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (17:11b, 17-23)

This Sunday's theme focuses on the importance and persistence of prayer. The first reading begins with Moses becoming tired while praying and Aaron and Hur supporting him, which has laid the foundation for prayer. Following the Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow, who kept bothering the judge until he listened.

Happy Gaudete Sunday!

The third Sunday of Advent is called "Gaudete Sunday". The latin word "Gaudette" means "Rejoice". The rejoicing not from material prosperity but genuine joy from eager anticipation of God's salvation. Rejoicing in God's presence even amid pain.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted. (Lk 14:11)

“Coming in Majesty”

Welcome to the start of the new liturgical year C!

As an expectant mother prepares for the arrival of her baby, every important event in our lives is preceded by a period of expectation and preparation.

The coming of Christ is such an event and consequently, the Church sets aside the period of Advent to help us to prepare for his arrival.
