Descripción

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)

God always welcome us, do we welcome Him?

Every Sunday, we come to God's house expecting to be welcomed, and Fr. Simon Tan reminds us that God never fails to welcome us. The real question is: "Do we welcome Him?" Using the image of being invited into a home but receiving no smile or embrace, he challenges us to reflect on our own attitude at Mass. Has worship become a routine, or do we arrive with hearts open to encounter Christ? Fr. Simon also highlights that welcoming is expressed through simple human gestures, such as embracing parents, showing affection, praying and singing wholeheartedly, and receiving each other with love. Every Eucharist is a fresh invitation to experience God's presence. God is always at work, always welcoming us. - Sunday Homily by Fr. Simon Tan, C.Ss.R. (28 June 2026)

Mystery of Love, Mercy, Salvation - What does it mean to us?

Today the church celebrates the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, the unity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, three persons in one God. We invoke the Trinity when we make the sign of the cross at prayer. Fr. Sikstus explains the Holy Trinity as a mystery of love, mercy, and salvation. God the Father is our Creator, compassionate and merciful, loving us despite our brokenness and imperfections. He sends his only Son, Jesus, not to condemn the world, but to redeem us through obedience, sacrifice, and redemption. The Holy Spirit is then sent to remain within us, guiding, strengthening, and helping us in daily life. Though the Trinity cannot be fully understood by the mind, we believe with humility and trust. May this solemnity remind us that God is for us, with us and within us. - Sunday Homily by Fr. Sikstus Bapa Atawolo, C.Ss.R. (31 May 2026)
