First Sunday of Lent: The Three C’s that Lead us into Temptation and how to overcome them
First Sunday of Lent: The Three C’s that Lead us into Temptation and how to overcome them St John of the Cross reminds us that God does not want us to love God with our intellect, but that we should love God with our hearts. In his Dark Night, he teaches that God’s work in us is to help us to overcome our distorted self-love so that we become capable of loving God and loving other people. Some of the spiritual wisdom of John of the Cross ring with so much spiritual force as I reflect on them: “Where there Read More...

Individual Sin has a Communal Cost
During Lent, as the church community spends time reflecting and repenting together, we examine the effect of sin on our community. Are we willing to confront and rid our community of sinful behaviour? Or will we choose to be silent and all pay the price? Joshua 7:7, 10-12, 25 7 Then Joshua cried out, “Oh, Sovereign Lord, why did you bring us across the Jordan River if you are going to let the Amorites kill us? If only we had been content to stay on the other side!” 10 But the Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you Read More...
URBI ET ORBI MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS
URBI ET ORBI MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS EASTER 2021 Saint Peter’s Basilica Easter, 4 April 2021 © Copyright - Libreria Editrice Vaticana Dear Brothers and Sisters, a good, happy and peaceful Easter! Today, throughout the world, the Church’s proclamation resounds: “Jesus, who was crucified, has risen as he said. Alleluia!” The Easter message does not offer us a mirage or reveal a magic formula. It does not point to an escape from the difficult situation we are experiencing. The pandemic is still spreading, while the social and economic crisis remains severe, especially for the poor. Nonetheless – and Read More...
Sacraments
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that “Sacraments are ‘powers that come forth’ from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They are “the masterworks of God” in the new and everlasting covenant.” (1116). As Catholics, we are privileged to have a rich sacramental life whereby we can receive sanctifying grace and experience the love of Jesus Christ in a special way. Sacraments are not a “thing” to be received, but a life changing event that draws us ever closer to Christ Read More...
Why the Rosary is Important
Prayer and The Rosary The Rosary specifically is a form of devotion, which is one of many ways we can participate in a pious exercise to demonstrate reverence for a particular aspect of God, Jesus, or a saint. The Rosary is most commonly a devotional connected to Jesus and Our Lady, but certain centerpieces and crucifix options included in custom rosaries can provide that secondary devotional element to a saint. In addition to being a devotional exercise that focuses on Jesus and Mary, the Mysteries help focus our meditative prayer further. Originally, there were three Mysteries: The Joyful Mysteries &mdash Read More...
The Wisdom of the Mustard Seed
By Fr. Stan Chu Ilo One of the lessons I learned this week at a consultative meeting on how to realize the 5th goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) on gender equality, is that changes in the world will come about in small ways. This lesson was captured for me by John McArthur, the Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Brookings Institution, one of the groups that is steering this initiative. According to him, when you wish to make changes in the world, you must make it “big enough to matter; and small enough to get done.&rdquo Read More...
