Always a Joy...: May 2014

Saturday, 10 May 2014. GRACEIS.THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT IN OUR SOULS - POPE FRANCIS. It was raining very heavily yesterday morning when I woke up. I had been feeling very tired these past few weeks and the urge to snuggle under my blanket and sleep a few more hours was almost too tempting. I am so thankful to God I did not - for the mass homily by Rev. Fr. Jacob Arimpoor V.C. Not only woke me up physically but woke my heart up! There is a yearning, an "emptiness" that somehow is not filled? It is because God ...

Always a Joy...: THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS - TREASURE JESUS IN OUR HEARTS!
http://alwaysajoy.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-spirit-of-christmas-treasure-jesus.html
Friday, 19 December 2014. THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS - TREASURE JESUS IN OUR HEARTS! Christmas - the season that I love the most is here again! Usually I would have been very busy in the run-up to the Christmas Midnight Mass but it seemed that it would not be quite so this year - or so I thought. And then I got the news that my mother was hospitalized in Penang, Malaysia! Within a few hours, I was on a flight bound for Singapore where I would have to buy a ticket to fly on to Penang. Then there would be the...

Wednesday, 25 February 2015. 2015 RETREAT REFLECTION: TRULY LIVING GOD'S PLAN- TO STAND UP AND DO SOMETHING! Does being led and guided by the Holy Spirit mean one should not have goals in one's life anymore and just wait upon God? I have just recently attended our Annual Divine Retreat for Preachers, Music Ministers, Counsellors and Volunteers from 20-23 January 2015. Although I had signed up for the other retreat. How thankful I am for. Heeding my heart's prompting! Well, each of us need to truly examin...

Friday, 16 January 2015. WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS OR PERISH TOGETHER AS FOOLS" - Martin Luther King Jr. YouTube video: A SONG OF PEACE written by Teresa Jennings. 2015 has barely started and all the joy and goodwill we have experienced over the Christmas season just seems torn apart by the killings in France at a controversial French magazine and at a Jewish delicatessen. The violence and killings have truly shocked the world! When has the value of a life become so dispensable? To choos...

Always a Joy...: October 2013
http://alwaysajoy.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 11 October 2013. BETTER IS ONE DAY IN YOUR COURTS" (Psalm 84:10) - A LEAP OF FAITH. Nine years ago today, I said "Yes" to the call to serve in Divine Retreat Centre full-time. I remember when, how and where I was asked. Very vividly even after all these years. I was on vacation leave then midway in what I thought would be a 6-month volunteer service. Hence, it brings back to me the intense memories and feelings as I am once again now in Singapore for a few more days! How true these words resonate...

Always a Joy...: THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO (WAY OF ST. JAMES), SPAIN- A Journey of Faith

Sunday, 26 October 2014. THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO (WAY OF ST. JAMES), SPAIN- A Journey of Faith. Because I always felt drawn to the idea of discovering who God was to me and this long walking pilgrimage seemed just what would help me discover God in a personal way. The St. James Way walking pilgrimage was my one greatest desire to achieve as a Catholic since I was in my mid-twenties! He Camino de Santiago. This post is of Brendan's beautiful personal sharing which truly touched my heart and given me much h...

Thursday, 26 June 2014. WE MUST USE TIME WISELY.THE TIME IS ALWAYS RIPE TO DO RIGHT (Nelson Mandela). I was really thinking much about. Last week - how precious every moment is that I am living - for I can never get it back. Had I made the best use of all the time I have had in my life? Well, these thoughts were always kind of swirling within me this year - for a good reason! Since my high school days, I have never lived in any place this long. What have I attained in these last 10 years? I have to say a...
