Remembering Pope Francis Singapore

Pope Francis’ visit to Singapore was a moment of grace and deep inspiration for our archdiocese and nation. His presence brought a sense of peace and unity, as thousands gathered to hear his words and witness his joyful spirit. Through his gentleness and wisdom, he touched hearts and renewed faith across generations.

During his time in Singapore, he reminded us that “Without love, we are nothing”, reminding us to live out the Gospel with humility, love and action. He called us to live courageously, to reach across divisions with compassion and dialogue. To be voices for the voiceless, to care for the vulnerable, and to be a light of hope in the world.

Now, as we mourn his passing, we give thanks for the extraordinary gift of his life and leadership. His visit to Singapore will forever remain a treasured memory, a moment when he walked among us and showed us the face of Christ. May he rest in the eternal peace of the Lord whom he served so faithfully, and may his legacy continue to guide and inspire us.

SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

Experiencing The Depths of His Love And Mercy

27th April 2025 ( Divine Mercy Sunday )

[ Acts 5:12-16 , Revelation 1:9-13. 17-19 , John 20:19-31 ]

When Jesus breathed on His disciples, it recalls the account in Genesis when God breathed life into man. Adam was not only created with natural or biological life, he was infused with the supernatural life of grace and holiness. By breathing on His disciples, Jesus now commissions them to be His ministers. His priests bringing the gift of reconciliation to all in the sacrament of Penance. Jesus' ministry of mercy and reconciliation will continue through the apostles. The Council of Trent connects this Gospel account with the institution of the Sacrament of Reconciliation by which Christ distributes divine forgiveness to the world through the successors of the apostles (bishops) and their assistants in the presbyterate (priests). We come to confession to experience the depths of His love and mercy no matter how far we have strayed. Let us then thank God for this great sacrament where we experience His mercy and love that allows us to be made pure and spotless to soldier on in this pilgrimage of life.
