In today's homily, Fr. Ino reminds us that faith is deeply personal, but "never meant to be private." A loving relationship with Jesus must lead us beyond ourselves towards others.

Christ promises, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am in their midst," show us that faith is lived in community and not isolation. A privatized faith focuses only on personal comfort, prayer or salvation while overlooking one's neighbour. Yet every life is connected: "No faith is an Island."

The commandments find their fulfilment in loving others. Fr Ino therefore invites us to pray not merely for ourselves, but for the person beside us, because authentic faith embraces God and one another.

Fr. Simon reflects on today’s gospel where Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him. We naturally avoid suffering, yet our crosses—illness, ageing, financial struggles or relationship difficulties—can become opportunities for deeper faith.

Rather than only asking God to remove our burdens, we can ask for grace, strength and a changed mindset to embrace them faithfully. Following Christ requires a change in mindset: surrendering our own desires, trusting God’s purpose, and responding to difficulties with faith, sacrifice and love.

In this homily, Fr. Sikstus reflects on three foundations of Christian life: servant leadership, trust in God and a personal relationship with Jesus. True leaders serve with love, humility and responsibility, carrying the needs of others.

Faith, he reminds us, "doesn't mean that we will have answers to all our questions," but trusting God even when we do not understand. At the heart of the Gospel is Jesus' personal question: "Who do you say I am?" Fr. Sikstus invites us to move from knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him - from information to relationship, and ultimately, "from relationship to mission."

On the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Fr. Sikstus reflects on Mary, who was taken body and soul into heaven by the grace and power of God.

Drawing from the Gospel of the Visitation and Mary’s Magnificat, Fr. Sikstus highlights Mary’s complete trust in God. Even when she could not fully understand what lay ahead, Mary believed that God’s plan was greater than her own. Her Magnificat reminds us that God keeps His promises and favours the humble.

Mary’s faith was also expressed through action. She went beyond her comfort zone to visit Elizabeth, bringing joy, care and the presence of Christ to another.

Fr. Sikstus invites us to imitate Mary: to trust God in every situation, remain humble and grateful for His blessings, and reach out to those around us with genuine love and care.

As we honour Mary’s Assumption, may we seek her intercession and follow her example, trusting that God remains faithful to His promises.

Fr. Peter Wee touches on doubt, which is the absence of certainty, today in all of the 3 readings.

For the first reading, Elijah flees from Ahab and Jezebel after killing the prophets of Baal. He is despondent and full of doubt, but the angels fed him and he had his theophany in the cave in the form of a gentle breeze where God gave him a mission.

Similarly, Paul in the second reading was sorrowful that the Jews in Rome did not accept Christ, yet he depends fully on Christ.

Finally, in the gospel, after the multiplication of loaves, in the middle of the night, the apostles were fearful when they saw Jesus coming towards their boat in the midst of a tumultuous sea. Peter instead, kept his eyes on Jesus and walked on water towards him, until he got distracted and started to sink, then Jesus put out his hand and held him.

In our lives, we will be faced with doubt, trials and tribulations. Like these 3 readings, we have to focus on God, on Jesus and be conscious of Jesus in our Christian life.

How do we get Christ consciousness? We have to spend time with the Lord, pray and reflect daily, so that He guides us during our trials and tribulations.

Fr. Sikstus reminds us that God's love and mercy are constant, and His blessings invite us to become blessings to others. Reflecting on Jesus feeding the 5000, he draws three lessons:

1. Trust in God's providence

2. Recognize the Eucharist as a call to community and sharing, and

3. Remembering that "sharing is caring."

What we give need not be food or wealth. It can be our time, presence, consolation, prayer or faith. Jesus' words, "Give them something to eat yourselves," challenge us to ask: Who needs something from me today, and what can I give?

Reflecting on Matthew 13:44–52, Fr. Joe Royan invites us to consider what we treasure most in life. Although the world offers many possessions and distractions, they often leave us dissatisfied and empty. Jesus alone can satisfy the deepest longing of our hearts. When we recognise Him as our greatest treasure and place God first, Mass, prayer, fasting and penance are transformed from duties and sacrifices into joyful expressions of faith, gratitude and love.

On the Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer, Father Siktus reflects on the heart of the Redemptorist mission: “With Him, there is plentiful redemption.” Explaining the meaning of CSsR and the congregation’s motto, he reminds us that God’s redeeming love is abundant, freely offered to every person, regardless of their past or unworthiness.

Drawing from St Paul’s teaching, Father Siktus contrasts Adam and Christ: through Adam came sin and death, but through Jesus come grace, life, and the hope of salvation. In the Gospel, Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus reveals the Father’s greatest gift: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.” Through the Cross, Christ opens the way to eternal life for all who believe in Him.

Quoting St Alphonsus Liguori, Father Siktus describes God’s love as “crazy with love”- a love that never gives up, always forgives, and continually welcomes us home. As recipients of this abundant redemption, we are invited to become instruments of that same compassionate, forgiving, and life-giving love to everyone we encounter.
