Wedding at Cana

The miracle at Cana was almost a secret one; at the time the only people who knew it to be a miracle were the servants who were the water out. But what did strike home was the sheer abundance of the new wine. That was the sign that confirmed the disciples in their new following. [...]

The Epiphany

The magi gave the child Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Why did they bring Him gifts? These gifts were not in recognition of what he wanted, but of who He was. The gold was the recognition of His Kingship, the frankincense represented his priesthood and the myrrh was a reminder of the death [...]

First Sunday of Advent

This Sunday is the first day of Advent, a word which means ‘arrival’ or ‘coming’. In this season we celebrate the three fold coming of Christ: as a human person in history; as someone who is always present with us; and as the one who will come in majesty to judge us at the end [...]

Apocalyptic Literature

The apocalyptic writings are charged with poetry, metaphor, fantasy. We must not make the mistake some of the fundamentalist do and interpret these passages literally. However, we must not make the opposite mistake of dismissing them as “nothing but” poetry.
Metaphor tells us truth more fully and more adequately that does plain prose. The truth is [...]

The Feast of Saint Francis of Assissi

Francis of Assisi gives everything up: wealth and inheritance, honor and home. He exchanges his princely robes for coarse sackcloth. He lives poor and humble, relying on God and others’ generosity for his needs. We realize that the more possessions we have, the more burdened we become and the less free we are!

God Tendency

Religion is part of human nature and our brains are hardwired to believe in God.
The evidence includes studies of babies and children that have shown the brain is programmed to think of the mind as separate from the body.
This distinction allows us to believe in the supernatural, to conjure up imaginary friends, and to conceive [...]

Impact of Human Swine Flu on Liturgical Practices

You will be aware that the H1N1 Influenza (Human Swine Flu) is extending into our community.
The advice at this time is that currently confirmed cases of H1N1 Influenza are exhibiting mild symptoms of illness, typical of the usual seasonal influenza virus. The advice is not to be alarmed but to consider the implications of [...]

Caring for others

We take care of our own first before others. But Jesus teaches us a genuine attitude of caring.
As the Godd Shepherd, He cares not only for the sheep of his flock but also those not his.
Lord, may I learn to treat others, even those who are not family and friends, as my very own.

Easter Monday

Last day of the holiday for workers but for the students not. One week down for the school holidays. For the past few days of Holy week, we’re busy commemorating the death of our Savior Jesus Christ. I really missed the celebration in Philippines. I’m not used with the way people here in Australia celebrate [...]

Happy Easter

‘This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!’ (Ps 118) God’s promise of salvation to His people is fulfilled. Through His Son’s suffering and death, we who have died due to sin, are brought back to life. The Lord works to renew you and set you free– [...]
