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 […]

My Husband's Prayer for Us
On the occasion of our 10th anniversary as a couple. May we grow as a couple in holiness, accepting our stations in life. For there is no better way than to be where exactly He has created us to be at each day. And when sufferings come our way, may we humbly recognize where we’ve […]
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 […]

On a day to day basis, for most of my life, prayer to me was purely a discipline. I did so […]
God answers prayers (I): Mary
Last Saturday, during the follow-up to the Conversion Experience Retreat (CER) I attended, I had not intended to share any testimonies because I did not have any experience I really felt needed to be shared. But when testimony time came, as the facilitator was opening the session, I suddenly felt a strong prompting in my […]
Letting God love me
Not too long ago, when I was telling my troubles to Fr. W. Goh, I had said, “I truly want to love God. I have always asked God to help me love Him more.” He smiled at me and replied, “That’s not the problem. You don’t need to ask Him that. You already love God. […]
Mother Mary and I
I want to tell you about my Mother Mary, and about how I never could love her until recently, even though I was brought up a Catholic. When it comes to the Mother of my Lord, I had always felt a distance. Though I have respected her, and admired her for her fidelity and obedience […]
Thanksgiving
To all of you who prayed for me and all who went for the Conversion Experience Retreat, THANK YOU. So many people (there were 120 attending and more than 100 volunteers) were touched by God’s grace and love over the 4 days of the retreat. Hardened hearts were melted, many healings – spiritual, emotional and […]
