    Sun, Apr 5 Views 616 Listen 1 Downloads 0

    From today we shall read and reflect on all the events which took place in the last days of Jesus’ life on earth. The whole celebration is very significant not only to Christians but to all human beings because those momentous events have changed the history of humankind and the lives of millions of people. I believe that just pondering the events for a few fleeting moments can change the life of anyone with pure devotion and faith. Read more »

    We may regularly go to church, say all our prayers, sing hymns, participate in all the religious activities, celebrate many more Easters, and yet not be moved or changed a bit in our life. We can still be the same as we were yesterday. Read more »

    Today’s first reading from the Acts of the Apostles is so simple even an average Christian, that is to say, anyone who has a pretty good grasp of the Bible, can clearly understand it. However, simple as it is, it gives a powerful message to all Christians. The writer, Luke talks about the life of the early Christian community, particularly the four elements that form the fundamental structure of a Christian community or family. Read more »

  • Third Sunday of Easter (Year A)

    In today’s second reading Peter calls on all Christians to live a life of reverence. That is to say, Christians should conduct their life in a holy manner, following the holy character of the God who has called them. And he also gives three reasons for this Christian reverence. Read more »
