Stations of
the Cross (Please click this link)
Lent calls us to an inward journey unto the core
of our being where we are most ourselves; Lent offers us opportunities to
engage life fully and meaningfully as Jesus did in the desert where he was
exposed to temptations of all sorts for 40 days but did not sin. Through
prayers, fasting and almsgiving, we engage our abnormal, upturned routine,
struggles and unprecedented covid induced experiences in such a way that we are
open to carry our cross alongside Jesus, bear the pains of rejection, and
incomprehension; face the fear of isolation, and being infected. Aided by the
Holy Spirit, who was a companion of Jesus in the desert, and who still speaks
to us in the bible, we gradually come to realize how generous we can be simply
by opening up our meanness before Jesus; how courageous we become simply by
being vulnerable as Jesus was when He to whom all power belongs would be
slapped and spat upon without Him snuffing out the lives of His torturers. In a
sense, in no time we begin to see how intricately mixed is death and
resurrection.
In this year of St Joseph, may we grow through
the intercession of St Joseph, in love, tenderness, understanding, creativity
and compassion, hope and courage to follow the Spirit’s promptings.
We cannot thank you enough for all the sacrifices
you have made to keep our Church opened through most of these challenging
times; special thanks to the cleaners, the stewards, the live-streaming team,
the Building Committee, the Children’s Liturgy Group and Catechists.
