“Who did God create me to be?” That’s a question that has accompanied me since my childhood. Perhaps I was a rather odd child to be asking such a philosophical question, but there has always been a part of me with an unshakeable conviction that God created me for some purpose, and I yearned to […]

All Saints Day 2012
“Come follow me with a spring in your step and a song in your heart!” How blessed the saints who are now at rest from all their labours! As I pondered their blessedness during mass yesterday, I felt God say to me, “Your turn will come too, but not yet. You must first walk the […]
Journal: Drenched in love
I’m sick… again. And I sent out a prayer request to my friends because I have to present at our church’s Catechist conference this weekend.

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 […]
