The Life Workshop

-
Protecting the innocent in society, especially the most vulnerable is a duty that all Christians have. However, there are many adversities and questions that can arise when defending life which can dissuade one from taking a stand. It is partly for this reason The Society of St. Gianna has put together "The Life Workshop".

From the Society of St. Gianna blog:



‘The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion…  Because if a mother can kill her own child – what is left for me to kill you and you kill me – there is nothing between.’ — Bl. Teresa of Calcutta
The Society of St Gianna presents to you… The Life Workshop!
Date/Time: 9 Aug (Tue, National Day), 10:30am to 5:30pm
Venue: FMM House, 49 Holland Road
Recommended Age: 17-30
Registration Fee: $10 (inclusive of lunch)
What is it all about?
The Life Workshop is a one-day seminar that aims to provide a Catholic perspective on abortion and the life of the unborn, especially to our Catholic youth. Through talks, video screenings and group activities, the seminar aims to facilitate prayer, discussion and dialogue on these complicated but relevant moral issues, which we all face.
Why do we care?
We wish to care as most people in Singapore are not well-informed about the subject matter, or are reluctant to discuss it. Catholics thus have a duty in spreading the Church’s message of love and life in the midst of an increasingly secularised world.
All life, born or unborn, has a God-given dignity. Since we are all created in the image of God, we must do our best to defend all life. Unborn children are among the most helpless and vulnerable members of our society, but their life is equally precious. The pro-life and pro-family message that the Catholic Church advocates is one that will keep society intact for generations to come.

Condoms made for 12 year olds. Sad day.

-
Image
How sad are the times when the youth are openly corrupted. It is a travesty that young boys, aged between 12-14, will no longer be led down the road of self-restraint, but will now have a means to give into their base passions. Condoms provide only a means to self-gratification and a path to incomplete love. Sadly, these youth will be given this illusion as a means to an end and will be deluded into thinking that this action is love or will be trapped in the sin of lust. Have people really given up on the young and abandoned them to their lustful desires at their most vulnerable time, when they are at peak of the battle their hormones and are discovering life? Instead of children being taught the dignity and honor of their bodies, they are being taught how to defile it. It is truly a sad day. Read the excerpt from the article printed in  Mail Online.

Fighting for Christmas

-
Et Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis (And the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us). This is a great demonstration of the love and humility possessed by Our Lord, Jesus Christ, yet I find myself walking the streets of Singapore surrounded by an endless barrage of sales and secular symbols of Christmas. How my heart laments over the disregard of a such a momentous sacrifice bestowed upon man by a loving God who has found himself replaced by idols of materialism and capitalism. Our great Creator humbled himself to come into human form and as if this action were not enough, He came into this world in the most humble of circumstances; the son of a carpenter, born in a manger, destined to lead a life of simplicity. Being the King of Kings, He could have easily come into this world in a prominent social family, but He chose to lead by example. Humility and charity would also be demonstrated by the Virgin Mary, His most blessed and chaste mother. Their...

A Self-Righteous Pharisee Complaining

-
Life is quite amusing. It becomes all the more hilarious when people use terms and words which they don't truly comprehend. For example, pharisee. Yes, that is right, pharisee. I had the privilege of someone, in not so many words, say that I sound like a pharisee; however, this person does not know me and the discussion, which was transpiring on a mutual friend's Facebook page, was about Eucharistic reception on the tongue and hand. My friend, who shall remain nameless, shared an experience that occurred and his feelings about Eucharistic reception, and of course, a discussion ensued. The reason the discussion progressed to a degree was due to the fact that we cannot receive the Eucharist on our tongue. This has been a diocese wide declaration due to H1N1; however, I made my opinion known that I felt this wrong not only because of the recent letter [you can see the letter here: http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2009/11/it-is-not-licit-to-deny-communion-on.html ] that has bee...
