In the movie Pacific Rim, humans are able to take on huge monsters by controlling giant robots through a neural link:
What about us fighting huge spiritual monsters like Pride, Lust and Greed? Shouldn't we establish a spiritual handshake daily with God?

Designed for Love

An old friend once asked me a simple yet intriguing question, "Is being unhappy considered discontentment or a lack of gratitude?" The question seemed a bit awkward at first glance but in retrospect, I realised that the awkwardness matched the subject at hand perfectly: the uncanny elusiveness of human happiness . In an instant, I texted her this answer with incredibly little thought: "A pen is happy only when used as a pen to write. An eagle is happy only when soaring high. There's your answer." I guess the Holy Spirit must be guiding me... "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." ( John 15:12 ) "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." ( 1 Corinthians 13:2 ) "No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." ( 1 John 4:12 ) "And ...

Diary of a little echo

Preparation for catechism session via Zoom This year, I completed my 8-year journey as a catechist and I must say it has been a most fulfilling adventure where I - learnt much about my beautiful Catholic faith from other catechists and through preparations of sessions; - enjoyed sharing my favourite faith stories to inspire our youths; Primary 6 Session on "History of the Jewish People" - worked hard with my team to plan interesting camps that not only bring our youths closer to Jesus but also strengthen their bonds with one another; Playing Jesus in a skit at a Confirmation Camp - felt encouraged when our youths managed to complete their journey and even returned to serve; - forged lifelong friendships with fellow catechists, coordinators and admin team through struggles with life's challenges while pressing on with our vocation; and - deepened my relationship with Jesus!

What I love about it is its ability to bring stories and characters in the Gospels to life in a way that is not preachy yet relates to us personally, reaching the very depths of the human heart; you cannot watch The Chosen without being transformed internally! In addition, it aims to be historically and theologically accurate as the creators of the show brought in a Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi, and an evangelical scholar as consultants! Its portrayal of Jesus is refreshingly touching because it shows us the humanness of God; His human needs, compassion, limitations, kindness, love and most surprising of all: His great sense of humour! Yes, you heard me right: Jesus Christ can be funny and...
