  • When Yes means Yes and No means No - The choice is ours!
    Feb 17 2026

    In the first reading, God gives us the choice of water of Baptism and fire of Holy Spirit. Fire can be used to cook food, which is good, but it can also cause burns; hence, the choice of life and death, good and evil, likewise with water. But the choice is ours.

    The 2nd reading is about the Wisdom of God. Wisdom comes from depth of God. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Gospel also talks of reconciliation and being truthful where we should not swear. Yes means yes and no means no.

    Putting it all together, the message of all readings is that God is the God of wisdom who gives us blessings and gifts. But it is up to us to decide what to do with it. Do we choose to follow him? Are we sincere? Are we truthful?

    God is pure light, not darkness. The fire of Holy Spirit and the water of baptism give us new life. We have a choice to choose life. The readings are to remind us to keep faith with the Lord and to walk with him, even if we are walking with blind faith or when things are difficult. Fr. Vincent reminds us that wherever God leads, we will be ok. The journey may be tough, but the destination will be ok.

  • Be the Salt and Light and not tasteless or hidden with our Christian Identity
    Feb 9 2026

    In this homily, Fr. Peter delivers a "tall order" to modern Christians. He challenges the congregation to move beyond "Sunday-only" faith and embrace a transformation of character. True Christian identity is reviewed in a life transformed - seen in our character, attitudes, and daily actions that reflect God's truth, love, mercy, and compassion.

    Drawing from Isaiah, the Psalms and Saint Paul, Fr. Peter highlights that human wisdom and external practices are not enough. Real enlightenment comes from a personal encounter with Christ. To be "salt of the Earth" and "light of the world" requires us to have daily relationship with God, ongoing conversation, and dying to one's selfishness to allow Christ's presence to shine through us to others.

    The homily concludes with a practical call to action - make time for God each day and let prayer reshape our hearts, so that Christianity becomes not just a label or artificial intelligence but as living witness that make the Gospel visible and relevant in today's world.

  • The Identity Card of every Christians - the Beatitudes
    Feb 2 2026

    In this homily, Fr. Sikstus reflects on the Beatitudes from the Gospel — the heart of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and the foundation of Christian life. Together with the first reading and St Paul’s message to the Corinthians, he reminds us that God’s favour rests not on the rich or powerful, but on the humble, the weak, and the poor in spirit.

    Quoting the late Pope Francis, Fr. Sikstus shares that the Beatitudes are the “identity card” of Christians, revealing the very face and lifestyle of Jesus. They teach us the values we are called to embrace - humility, mercy, justice, compassion, and integrity.

    What does it mean to be “poor in spirit”? It is not simply material poverty, but an attitude of total dependence on God. True wealth lies not in possessions, but in trusting God’s mercy.

    Fr. Sikstus also invites us to be peacemakers, extending forgiveness even when it is difficult. By living the Beatitudes, we continue Jesus’ mission and rejoice in His promise: our reward will be great in heaven.
