July: Dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus
What a joy it was to meet for the first time after a long time! I felt so blessed when we came together as a Community on the first Sunday in June, which happened to be Holy Trinity Sunday. We finally started on our planned Formation Study on St Thérèse – “The Story of a Soul”. We also renewed our Promise, which was long overdue since Easter.
June: Dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
This has been our prayer at online Mass every day for the past two months. Thankfully we shall once again be able to actively participate and receive Our Lord at Holy Mass. Thank you, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for answering our prayers.
May: Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary
It has been a very challenging month for most of us. Being Carmelites, however, this isolation truly gives us the added time of silence and solitude which we are being called to. Thank you, dear God, for our Divine Office and time of meditation. What a greater opportunity to pray and to read the Scriptures (guess some of you would have taken up Fr John Adam’s challenge to read the Gospel of Mark during Holy Week).

April: Dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament
The Lord is my shepherd. There is nothing I shall want. With these words in mind, may we find strength in facing the uncertainty of how events are going to pan out from the Covid-19 pandemic. Let us use this time of enforced retreat to improve our relationship with God through prayer and the reading of the Scriptures.
Fr Ferdie’s Visit and Talk
The experience of the union of the soul with God is a way of life. We become the presence of God to others. But it is God’s initiative as God loved us first.
