18 June 2026, Thursday, 11th Week in Ordinary Time THE POWER AND EFFICACY OF PRAYER THAT COMES FROM FAITH The prophet Elijah and his successor, Elisha were great prophets of the Lord. The book of Sirach sings high praises especially to Elijah who was seen as the greatest prophet of Israel.

16 June 2026, Tuesday, 11th Week in Ordinary Time DEALING WITH INJUSTICES Upon reading the story of Naboth’s vineyard, we cannot but feel for him at the grave injustice done to him. We are also horrified at Jezebel’s wickedness in scheming to take possession of Naboth’s property in such a way that it had the appearance of a legal takeover.

Michael was angry with God. After years of longing for a child, he and his wife finally welcomed a baby girl in the eleventh year of their marriage. But just three months later, his wife fell seriously ill and passed away within a week. Heartbroken and overwhelmed, he struggled to understand why a loving God would allow such suffering and wondered how he would raise their daughter alone.

Yet in the midst of his grief, God began to draw near. During visits to church grottos, Michael found a quiet sense of peace even though his questions remained unanswered. Over time, he felt Our Lady of Sorrows inviting him to trust the Lord, and one morning, he awoke to a voice saying, “Trust Me.”

Michael slowly surrendered his grief to God and began a journey of healing and learning to embrace a cross he never would have chosen for himself. The pain did not disappear, and there were still unanswered questions and moments when the burden felt too heavy. Yet his story reminds us that we are never meant to carry our crosses alone.

Singapore cannot afford to sit out the AI revolution. But in our race towards progress, we cannot forget what makes us human.

In Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV reminds us that people are not resources to be optimised. They are persons with an inherent dignity that cannot be measured, automated, or replaced.

The future is not just about building smarter technology. It's about ensuring we remain deeply human while doing so.

08 June 2026, Monday, 10th Week in Ordinary Time LIVING A BLESSED LIFE ENTAILS SERVING GOD AS OUR LORD All of us seek happiness in life, yet few of us have found it. Why?

Sunday 7 June 2026
The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

Jesus said to the crowd:
‘I am the living bread which has come down from heaven.
Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever;
and the bread that I shall give is my flesh,
for the life of the world.’
Then the Jews started arguing with one another: ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ they said. Jesus replied:
‘I tell you most solemnly,
if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,
you will not have life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise him up on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in him.
As I, who am sent by the living Father,
myself draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me will draw life from me.
This is the bread come down from heaven;
not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever.’

On this feast of Corpus Christ (7 June), come and spend time with the Lord in Adoration.

In the Eucharist, we profess our faith in the Real Presence of Christ — truly present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. In the silence of Adoration, we open our hearts to His love, listen to His voice, and rest in His presence.
