This week Grace reflects on how the Gospel passage emphasizes the simplicity of Jesus’ message, calling people to repent and believe in the Gospel. It highlights how Jesus chose His disciples, simple fishermen, who immediately followed Him, demonstrating their willingness to leave their old lives behind for the ultimate fulfillment in heaven. The passage also underscores the ongoing legacy of Jesus’ teachings and the importance of repentance, faith, and making righteous choices in building His community and church.
This week, Rowena reflects on the parable of the 10 virgins. “We are called to a joyful and intimate relationship with Jesus and to share His love with others. We must always carry with us the premium fuel of our faith to keep our lives lit. “
This week, Sandra reflects on how we are asked to be good stewards of God’s creations. “We should live our lives as though we will be judged tomorrow.”

This Lenten season, we are reminded when the Pharisees brought a woman accused of adultery to Jesus. (Jn 8:1-11) He told the crowd “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her”.One by one they left and Jesus forgave the woman. This Lenten season we are […]
This week we reflect on Luke 5:1-11 where Jesus said to Simon,“Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men”When they brought their boats to the shore,they left everything and followed him.
