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, […]

10 years of being a team
Today, Henry and I celebrate our 10th anniversary of being a couple. And true to our pattern, there are no special plans whatsoever. We had in fact taken the day off, but are both needed back at work today, and in capacities which we cannot responsibly shirk off. So he’s returning to work this morning […]
Sacrament of Reconciliation
Almighty God, Thank you for reminding me today through the gift of this most beautiful sacrament that Holiness, Beauty, Humility and Suffering are all united and brought together in one simple thing: right relationship with You. Thank you for reminding me that holiness and perfection is not about something that I am not, or am […]
