Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today’s Reading http://www.universalis.com/20111124/mass.htm Reflections: Will you be able to hold your head high when the Son of Man comes?

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Because there is no Fides Prayer Meet today due to the public holiday, this reflection will be to help you “Break the Word” for this Sunday’s readings. Today’s Reading http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/103011.cfm Reflections: The common theme for the readings is: We must offer sacrifices that are pure and pleasing to God. First Reading [...]
Today’s Reading http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/102511.cfm Reflections: A mustard seed and yeast – we’ve probably heard these analogies for the Kingdom of God a million times over. But what implications do they have for us? The mustard seed and the yeast, both seem so insignificant, and yet they have the POTENTIAL to become something so much greater. It’s [...]
Today’s Reading http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/102411.cfm Reflections: In just a blink of an eye, it’s already the last week of October. Have you been so busy with work that you’ve let time pass by unnoticed? Extract from the first reading For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not [...]
Today’s Reading http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/102311.cfm Reflections: Sometimes, all we need to feel alive, is a simple love. This week’s Gospel and readings simply remind us that God loves us, no matter who we are: alien or neighbour, poor or rich. The best way to show this and to reciprocate God’s love, is through our actions – by [...]
Dear all, Today’s Reading http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/100911.cfm Reflections: In today’s Gospel, Matthew uses the imagery of a banquet to remind us how God’s call comes to us in many different ways and at many different levels. However, this invitation sometimes goes unheeded, or we need to be reminded time and again that God has extended the invitation [...]
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today’s Reading http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/091911.cfm Reflections: Just like the candle, we too have been created and designed to keep God’s light shining in the world! You know that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you do something nice for someone else? Whether you realise it or not, our true purpose is to serve [...]
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today’s Reading http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/091811.cfm Reflections: I can imagine that such a Gospel might stir up feelings of injustice, anger and possibly even disbelief. It just doesn’t quite seem fair when others who worked less get to enjoy the same reward – the group mate who skived off and yet enjoyed a [...]
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today’s Reading http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/091211.cfm Note: A centurion is a senior officer in the Roman Army who commands 83 men (some sources say 100); suffice to say he was a very powerful and wealthy individual.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today’s Reading http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/091011.cfm Note: The First Reading, taken from “1 Timothy” is part of a letter written by Paul to his assistant Timothy (and not letters written by Timothy). Reflections: Today’s readings speak not only of the need to put our faith into practice – they are also meant to instil [...]
