Join us as we pray together in honour of Our Mother of Perpetual Help.
God loved us first and invites everyone to the table of fellowship, everyone is invited, saints and sinners alike. Once they realised that Jesus loved them in spite of their sins and shortcomings, that love leads to transformation, metanoia.
It may take a long time to change but once we realize that Jesus loves us despite of our sins, change begins to take place, and this is our faith journey.
In this Sunday’s gospel, we read Jesus’ greatest commandments in Matthew 22:37-39, “You must love your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: "You must love your neighbour as yourself.”
The two are actually one commandment - I cannot say I love God and hate my neighbour; it’s connected and it’s hard to follow. The biblical love is action and responsibility, whether I like that person or not I must try to forgive. Jesus did not have feelings for his executioners but yet He loved them and asked His Father to forgive them. That is love, biblical, sacrificial love.
We ask Mother Mary to pray and intercede for us as we keep walking on our faith journey.

When serving God is not about Perfection
Drawing on Cinderella's transformation, Fr. Eugene reminds us that criticism, shame and sin do not erase our dignity as God's children. "We do not wait for ourselves to be perfect" before serving Him.
Mission begins now, through the gifts and talents we have received. The sick witness through perseverance, while carers reveal God's unconditional love. Rendering to God what belongs to Him means offering our lives in trust and service. "No label can contain us" when we trust God's love.

Do you best and God will do the rest!
In this heartfelt homily, Br Celestine reflects on the life of St Gerard Majella, reminding us that holiness is found not only in extraordinary acts, but also in the simple moments of everyday life. Despite experiencing poverty, hardship and suffering, St Gerard remained steadfast in faith, generously sharing what little he had with others.
Amid life’s uncertainties, whether concerning work, health, family or personal struggles, Br Celestine invites us to bring our worries and pain honestly before God.
Trusting God does not mean our problems will disappear. Sometimes, God simply gives us strength for the next step, sends someone to accompany us, or grants us peace amid uncertainty.
“Do your best, and God will do the rest.”
May St Gerard inspire us to live generously, trust deeply and recognise God’s presence in every season of life.
