Our days begin with planning, projects, and programmes, building relationships through discussions, debates, and drives, dialogue.We strive for perfection, but we accept imperfections. We seek completion but acknowledge incompletion.We aim for order, yet we encounter disorder.We hope for calm, but experience chaos.Nothing in life is usually perfect, complete, orderly or calm. Nonetheless, we start, knowingContinue reading “Relay of Life”

Creation and Sound
Every living thing is born with the ability to produce sound through movement.The crash of ocean waves,The thunder of a volcanic eruption,The clicking of insect wings,The voice of humans,The hum of whales,The fluttering wings of hummingbirds.Every living being is born with the ability to perceive sound.Patrons absorbing the thumping beat of dancehall music.Worshippers hearing theContinue reading “Creation and Sound”
Shaping New Life Through Suffering
“If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs foryou…” (St. Ignatius of Loyola). Reflecting on this line, I find it difficult to accept. There is a deeper meaning to thosemoments of suffering, but I often get caught up in the pain and discomfort of thepresent. The imageContinue reading “Shaping New Life Through Suffering”
Christ, the Gardener
“Those God knew before time, God also predestined us to be shaped in the image of the Son…” (Romans 8:28-30) As I pondered Jesus deliberately calling each of his disciples by name while walking through Galilee, I was struck by his intentional transformation journey with them. He moulded and reshaped his disciples into his imageContinue reading “Christ, the Gardener”
A Toddler’s Grace
“Blessed are your eyes that see what you are seeing! (Luke 10:23-24) Thinking about this passage, I realise there’s a difference between seeing something on the surface and grasping its underlying meaning or significance. I can take a situation at face value, but I can also catch the message behind what I see or hear. Continue reading “A Toddler’s Grace”

God’s Embrace
Have you ever experienced the deep feeling of missing someone? When the opportunity arises to reunite with them in person, you hold them in a timeless embrace. This applies to God. When we distance ourselves from God, His desire to reunite with us deepens as He patiently awaits our return. When we choose to returnContinue reading “God’s Embrace”
God Becomes Clay
“Our hope has a name – Jesus – God who was not disgusted by our clay, and who, instead of saving us from the clay, became clay for us” (Pope Francis, 2025). How do we perceive Christ amidst the clay – the imperfections, woundedness, incompleteness, and brokenness – of the world and our humanity? WhenContinue reading “God Becomes Clay”
Waves
Sitting under a Gazebo at the edge of a Blancheusse cliff, Trinidad and Tobago, my ear funnels the sounds of roaring, raging, and ravenous waves building, “crescendoing”, and crashing relentlessly and violently along the innocent, vulnerable shoreline. They are travelling in ripples, forming one after another, breaking and gliding towards a receptive beach. Sitting withContinue reading “Waves”
Beware And Be Aware!
Beware of persons who envision life as climbing a ladder,a ladder towards individual fame, success, status, and honour.Theymanipulateoppressrepresssuppressabusemalignconnive.They build self-serving utilitarian relationshipsusing human shoulders as rungs of ladders to reach the highest height,driven slavishly by personal ego.Like stealth planes, they go unrecognisable, invading territories of hearts and minds.
