I usually pick up a Bible verse at the Landings retreats I attend. Here's the latest message..
Peace be with you
In this Sunday’s Gospel, the disciples are huddled behind locked doors — not just physically, but spiritually. Fear has sealed them shut. They had hoped Jesus was the one, and now the cross seemed to have put an end to that hope. Then the Risen Christ walks through every barrier they’ve erected and speaks the … Continue reading Peace be with you
Open our eyes
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus heals a blind man by putting a paste on his eye and asking him to go wash in the pool of Siloam. The man went off as instructed and came back with his sight! However the Pharisees question him and refuse to believe the miracle. Instead they accuse Jesus of … Continue reading Open our eyes
Our faith story
In this Sunday’s Gospel, we are reminded that John the Baptist proclaimed, “Look, there is the lamb of God!” With these words, he boldly identified Jesus as the Chosen One of God, the Messiah. This was John’s mission: to be the steadfast voice crying out in the wilderness and a guiding finger pointing directly to … Continue reading Our faith story
Who’s your King?
In this Sunday’s Gospel, the people stayed there before the cross, watching Jesus as he hung on the cross. Above him was an inscription: ‘This is the King of the Jews’. Whenever the end of November rolls around and we reach the solemnity of Christ the King, I am also reminded of my wedding vows … Continue reading Who’s your King?
Who’s at your gate?
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells us the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. First and foremost, it is a story about being empathetic to our neighbour in need. If we have the means to help the people who are placed in front of us, not doing so has eternal consequences. I remember this … Continue reading Who’s at your gate?
Enough is enough
This Sunday’s Gospel recounts Jesus telling the parable of the rich man who built bigger barns to store up his riches so he can relax but God demands his soul that very night. This reading will probably hit home for a lot of us. Isn’t the whole point of getting good grades at PSLE, to … Continue reading Enough is enough
#Godmoment
Landings just ended the retreat over the weekend and I felt exhausted but blessed to have been part of the support team. I saw this rainbow on my day of rest right after the retreat. I feel it’s an affirmation for the retreat and that everyone had a spirit-filled event. Thanks be to God.
Dark Skies
Managed to add a Korg Minilogue to my music setup and I started messing around with the built-in sequencer. I got my gal to give me some chords to work with and here's what we ended up with on a rainy May Day Thursday: Dark Skies. Take a listen here for Apple Music or Spotify. … Continue reading Dark Skies
Your will be done
In this Palm Sunday’s readings, we focus on Jesus time in the garden of Gethsemane. The disciples were filled with fear and uncertainty, knowing that something terrible was about to happen to their Master, though they did not know what it would be. Overwhelmed by exhaustion, they fell asleep. A short distance away, Jesus withdrew … Continue reading Your will be done
