How to Pray like Elijah and Jesus - William Cardinal Goh (Homily - 18 June 2026)
Yesterday00:12:33Tap to summarizeThe miracles of Elijah remind us that true prayer flows not from many words but from unwavering faith in God.

Transcribe →The Leadership of St. Barnabas - Homily 11th June 2026
1w ago00:13:13Tap to summarizeOn the Feast of St. Barnabas, we encounter a model of humble and inspiring leadership. Barnabas was generous, encouraging, and free from envy. He saw potential in others, gave second chances, and helped great leaders like St. Paul and John Mark flourish. Rather than seeking recognition, he put the mission of Christ and the good of the Church above himself. His example reminds us that true leadership is not about power or status, but about empowering others, serving with humility, and being led by the Holy Spirit.Reflection Question: Who has God placed in my life to encourage, mentor, or give a second chance to, and how is God inviting me to help that person grow?

It is a response born not out of duty alone, but out of love, trust, and fidelity to the One who first loved us.Reflection Question: What prevents me from fully committing myself to the Lord?
Transcribe →Do People See Christ in You? - Homily 9th June 2026
1w ago00:14:41Tap to summarizeOur faith is not meant to be kept to ourselves. As Christians, we are called to be salt and light in the world, sharing the love of Christ with those around us. Through our words, actions, joy, and love, we become living witnesses of the Gospel and reflect Christ’s presence to others.Reflection Question: In what ways do I keep my faith hidden? How can I be a better reflection of Christ to those around me?

Transcribe →What Does It Actually Mean To Love? - Homily 4th June 2026
2w ago00:12:20Tap to summarizeThe key to remain faithful to our mission and to the Lord, is love. But what does it actually mean to love Him?True Christian love is more than just feelings – it is total self-giving, unwavering commitment, and the strength to remain faithful even when it costs us. Our love for God and our neighbour must be an initiative that comes from within our hearts; it must involvesthe giving of our entire being – all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength. Christian love also asks of us to not just love others as we desire to be loved, but for our love to be able to even transcend our will. That is, that we may love our enemies too.Reflection Question: Is my faith driven by a genuine love for Jesus, or only by what I hope to gain from Him ?
Transcribe →Encouragement For Those In Ministry - William Cardinal Goh (Homily - 3 June 2026)
2w ago00:10:58Tap to summarizeSt Paul’s letter to St Timothy reminds us of the importance of fanning the flames of our faith and the spiritual gifts we have been blessed with.

Transcribe →Living Under the Lordship of Christ - Homily 2nd June 2026
2w ago00:10:59Tap to summarizeEverything in our lives must be placed under the lordship of Christ. While we await the fulfillment of God's promise of a new heaven and a new earth, we are called to live holy and sincere lives. We must not be mistaken to believe that we have the luxury of time to live a life of folly, pushing aside our decision to live a righteous life. Instead, we must look at our Lord’s patience as an opportunity and invitation for us to experience conversion, growth, and deeper union with Him.What is one thing you must do to grow in holiness and purification of self?Reflection Question: What is one area—my relationships, ambitions, fears, or daily choices—that I still struggle to surrender completely to the Lord?
Transcribe →For the Greater Glory of God - Homily 29th May 2026
3w ago00:12:39Tap to summarizeSt. Peter reminds us that whatever we do, it should be done for the glory of God and the good of others. In a world filled with difficult and ambiguous choices, this becomes a powerful guide for discernment: Does this action glorify God? True discipleship is not about serving ourselves but offering our gifts, sacrifices, and even our sufferings for the greater glory of God. When our lives bear fruit through prayer, faith, and selfless service, God is glorified through us.Reflection Question: How do I make decisions? Do I seek what is most beneficial for me or what will bring the greater glory of God?
Transcribe →Baptised into the Light - Homily 28th May 2026
3w ago00:13:00Tap to summarizeLike Bartimaeus, we are called not only to recognise Jesus, but to rise and follow Him along the road of discipleship. A Christian life cannot remain superficial, routine, or dependent only on moments of consolation. It must be intentionally nurtured through prayer, the Word of God, discipline, and a living relationship with the Lord. Otherwise, even after many years in the Church, we may still remain spiritually immature or blind. The challenge for every Christian, especially those active in ministry, is this: do we merely speak about Jesus, or are we truly walking with Him? When we allow Christ to transform our hearts, our lives begin to radiate mercy, forgiveness, compassion, integrity, and hope; becoming a genuine light to the world.Reflection Question: How can I deepen my relationship with Jesus so that I can follow Him more faithfully and reflect His light to others?
