For “In him we live and move and have our being.” – Acts 17:28 How foolish the lamp which takes pride in how much light it gives the room when it cannot shine without electricity or exist without the person who created it. God is the artist who made me. God is my electricity. I […]

Girl's Night Out at CSC
Yesterday was the last day of our Catholic Schools ‘Promo Run’ for Paul the Musical. We had eleven schools to cover in the east of Singapore, and it would have been impossible for one team to cover in an afternoon. As always, God provided, and our new full-time Pastoral Assistant at St. Mary’s volunteered to […]
Journal: God rocks!
Anyone who has ever had to write a paper or article would know how challenging that can be. On the rare occasions that you are inspired, the words just flow. But more often than not, you can find yourself stuck. And if you have to meet a deadline, you face the very real possibility of […]
Journal: God's love is greater
Of late, there are so many tasks I am doing that I have begun to lose sight of the forest for the trees. So easily am I sucked into ‘macro-mode’ (yes, like the camera) that I become focused on completing tasks and achieving results. And with so many different urgent tasks on my plate, it […]
God's love song
I woke up today feeling a little under the weather. My husband informs me with a smile that he has a meeting at MINDEF in the morning and can drop me off at the doorstep of my office. As I started work, I began to have a throbbing, splitting headache that grew steadily worse. My […]
Journal: Mary (Mother of Jesus)
On Holy Saturday’s Day of Recollection at CSC (April 11, 2009), I received a write-up on Mary, Mother of Jesus. This was right after we were asked to close our eyes and try to identify with someone who had been present at Jesus’ Passion and Death. I had identified myself with Peter – for with […]
I am loved
I never cease to be amazed at the way God brings people into my life. Just when I have begun to feel daunted by the brokenness of humanity and the raw hunger and need in people’s lives; just when I begin to feel I am too ill-equipped for the work God wants me to do, […]
One thing I seek
One thing I ask of Yahweh, one thing I seek: to dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to enjoy the sweetness of Yahweh, to seek out his temple. Yahweh, hear my voice as I cry, pity me, answer me! Of you my heart has said, ‘Seek his face!’ Your face, Yahweh, […]
As bread that is broken
Lord, help me to live my life as bread that is broken! http://z.v.h.a.aimini.net/player/mp3/?file=http://z.v.h.a.aimini.net/play/?fid=AHvzYR0kc7GjtFTD8TrP&auto=yes&repeat=yes Many hearts are hungry tonight, Many trapped in darkness yearn for the Light So many who are far from home, And many who are lost Oh, Lord, Your wounded children need The power of Your cross As bread that is broken, use […]
Light in our darkness
In a blink of an eye, Lent is almost over. This evening, we enter into the Easter Triduum when we celebrate the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. This year’s Lent has been particularly meaningful for me because I have spent practically every minute of it in service. I do not try to claim credit for […]
