  • Fifth Sunday of Lent (Year A)
    Sun, Apr 6 Views 4903 Listen 28 Downloads 0

    Paul says that those who are living "in the flesh," that is, those whose thoughts, attitudes, words, deeds and purposes are controlled by their flesh, are unable to please God. Even their best works will never be seen by God as works for God’s glory, if they have been produced for selfish or self-centered reasons. Read more »

  • Palm Sunday (Year A)
    Sun, Apr 13 Views 5708 Listen 15 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 »

  • Holy Thursday (Year A)
    Thu, Apr 17 Views 4690 Listen 12 Downloads 0

    If we put on Christ at first we may find it difficult and unnatural or feel uncomfortable. But if every day we just keep putting on Christ and bear with pain and suffering, we will day by day, grow to look more like him. Read more »

  • Good Friday (Year A)
    Fri, Apr 18 Views 5123 Listen 7 Downloads 0

    If we do not keep the commandments of the Lord as we have promised to, we naturally deny Jesus himself. Like Peter, we may have promised devotion to and love for our parents, spouse, children and friends. But we may break our promises and deny our love and care for them when we think they have failed us miserably. We often go back on our promises, when challenges come our way. Read more »

  • Easter Vigil (Year A)
    Sat, Apr 19 Views 3361 Listen 4 Downloads 0

    Jesus Christ is the anointed one of God who came to save people from the darkness of sin. He died on a wooden cross, not for his wrong doings but for the sins of the world so that people would not be condemned, and he rose again on the third day as he had predicted. His Resurrection from the dead has changed the lives of people – yesterday, today and tomorrow. Read more »

  • Easter Sunday (Year A)
    Sun, Apr 20 Views 2761 Listen 6 Downloads 1

    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 »

  • Second Sunday of Easter (Year A)
    Sun, Apr 27 Views 2186 Listen 18 Downloads 0

    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 »
