No burden is too heavy, no sin too great, no problem too difficult, no fear too big that you cannot take to Jesus in prayer. Trust in God to deliver you. “The Lord’s arm is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear” (Isaiah 59:1). No matter what you have done or where you are in life, you are still worthy of God’s love and mercy. No one is unforgivable, apart from one who commit a…

We see Simon of Cyrene picking up the cross and following behind Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. We definitely know that he didn’t willingly come forward to help carry Jesus’ cross but was forced to do so by the Roman soldiers. “As they went out, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross” (Matthew 27:32). He was one of the many people who happened to be in Jerusalem at the…

In St Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, he says, “If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but do not have love, I am nothing… Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or…

“No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar or puts it under a bed; rather, one puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light” Luke 8:16. Those of us who have had an encounter with Jesus, are like the lit lamps, who want to share it with others so that those in darkness can come to the light. Jesus says in John 8:12, “I am the light of the world. Whoever…

We can all relate to the parable of the Prodigal son. The elder son is inside the house when the parable begins but the younger son is planning to leave the house. By the end of the parable the younger son comes back into the house, but the elder son is outside refusing to go in. Often, we, like the prodigal son from the pit of sin, have said, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am…

Imagine going on a holiday, one involving a long flight. Without a care in the world, you would probably just eat, read, watch some entertainment on your TV screen, sleep and relax. At the end of the trip, you exit the plane and carry on enjoying your trip. Never even once did you stop and think about how the plane stays in the air, does it have enough fuel to take you to your destination or about colliding with another…

Salvation is for all. When God banished Adam and Eve from paradise for their disobedience, He just didn’t banish them from His sight; He first clothed them with garments of skin (Genesis 3:21), and promised them a saviour (Genesis 3:15), thus portraying God’s unfathomable love for mankind. When Jesus came, people saw the true nature of God in Him; He was always forgiving, loving, compassionate and full of mercy, and in so being Jesus drew people to Himself without much…

Faith doesn’t demand explanations, but it requires complete trust in the one who created us. Abraham our father in faith is a shining example of what it takes to trust in the Lord. When he was called to leave his kinsman and go to the Promised land, he left everything even though the route ahead was unknown to him. When God promised him a son in his old age, he trusted the Lord. Isaac was born to him when he…

In his apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Nuntiandi, released on the 8th December 1975 Pope St John Paul VI said that the Church exists to evangelize. For a Christian,evangelisation should never be an option but a way of life. When the Lord said, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15), His followers obeyed and did just that -proclaimed the Good News to the whole world. For us believers, Jesus Christ is not just…

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love” (Psalm 103:8). When the woman caught in adultery was brought to Jesus, He neither condemned nor rejected her. She didn’t deny her sins in front of the Lord nor did the crowd admit that they had committed any. The crowd could only condemn and destroy her, but the Lord restored her. Here Jesus’ master stroke was “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the…
