Here are 6 simple tips to help you pray more intentionally, find deeper meaning in each mystery, and grow closer to Jesus through Mary. 🙏

Did you know that Halloween comes from All Hallows’ Eve, the evening before All Saints’ Day? Beyond the costumes and candy, these days invite us to remember the saints in heaven and pray for the souls in purgatory. They also offer us a chance to pause and reflect on the last things: death, judgment, heaven and hell. And perhaps, to gently ask ourselves: If our time on earth is temporary, how do we want to live it? As Catholics, we are not called to live in fear of death, but in hope of the eter…

Have you ever found yourself saying, “It’s okay, I can manage,” even when deep down, you know you could really use some help? Sometimes, we convince ourselves that asking for help makes us a burden, or that accepting it means we're not capable enough. But the truth is, we were never meant to go through life doing everything on our own. There is strength in recognising our limitations and humility in allowing others to walk alongside us. The next time someone offers you a helping hand, don't be …

In his message for World Mission Sunday, Pope Leo XIV reminds us that every baptised person is called to fulfil the Church’s mission - no one is exempt. Each of us has a part to play, according to our own vocation and the gifts we have received. This mission isn't always about going somewhere far away. Sometimes, it begins with the people already in our lives — the ones we find difficult to understand, the ones whose struggles we don't know how to respond to, or the ones we may have taken for g…

The coming days—All Hallows’ Eve (aka Halloween), All Saints’ Day, and All Souls’ Day—naturally bring the spiritual world to mind. We’re called to acknowledge these realities, without getting caught up in obsession or fear. Instead, may we focus on turning back to God and pursuing what is good, just like the saints before us. 📹 Watch the full video: https://buff.ly/HNHWuHF

The Solemnity of All Saints is a joyful celebration of all who are in heaven: the canonised saints and the countless holy ones known fully to God. We rejoice in the Communion of Saints, seek their intercession, and draw inspiration from their witness, which reminds us of our own call to holiness and eternal life. 📱Visit mycatholic.sg/schedules for Mass schedules. 📹 Livestreams will be made available for the homebound and their caregivers on 𝐒𝐮𝐧, 𝟏 𝐍𝐨𝐯 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐚𝐭 𝟏𝟎𝐚𝐦 at youtube.com/catholicsg or r…

The 2026 Nepal-China floods are a heartbreaking reminder of the sheer destructive scale of global ecological collapse. As thousands mourn the loss of lives, homes, and livelihoods, we are confronted with the reality that the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor are interconnected. As people of faith, we cannot let their suffering become background noise. We are called to pause, and resist what Pope Francis calls the “globalisation of indifference”, and step into solidarity with our brothers…

Have you ever felt unqualified for something God was calling you to do? When Jesus chose His apostles, He didn’t choose perfect people, but ordinary men with different backgrounds and stories. Sts. Simon and Jude were among them, and they went on to dedicate their lives to sharing the Good News, even unto death. Sometimes, we may wonder if we’re good enough to do what God asks of us. But their lives remind us that God doesn’t call us because we have everything figured out. He calls us to follow…

Forty years ago, people of different faiths gathered in Assisi to pray for peace, reminding us that even in a world divided by conflict, we can still come together in hope. As we mark the 40th anniversary of the World Day of Prayer for Peace, may we continue to pray for peace, build bridges across differences, and become instruments of reconciliation in our everyday lives. Because peace begins not only in the world around us, but also in our own hearts. 🙏

Growing in faith isn’t just about knowing more about God, but allowing Him to transform our hearts. Are we becoming more patient with the people we love, gentler with those who hurt us, and more willing to love when it’s difficult? No matter how long we’ve been Catholic, there will always be parts of our hearts that need healing and changing. And that’s okay. Faith is a lifelong journey of allowing Jesus to work in us, one day at a time. Perhaps holiness is closer than we think. We don’t have t…

Sometimes, it’s easier to love God in prayer than to love the people right in front of us. We can go to Mass, say our prayers and know our faith well, yet still lose our patience with our family, hold on to resentment, or struggle to show kindness when someone gets on our nerves. But Jesus calls us to love God with our whole heart and to love our neighbour as ourselves. The two go hand in hand because our love for God should slowly change the way we love others. But we know that loving others i…

The disaster in Southern Philippines left families carrying heavy burdens of trauma, loss, and uncertainty. In the midst of distress, healing often begins not with grand gestures, but with compassionate presence. Through your support, seminarians and volunteers were equipped to offer Psychological First Aid, comfort, and a listening ear. What began as small acts of service brought lasting peace, restored hope, and reminded vulnerable communities that God has not abandoned them, and He reaches t…

This October, let us pray for Pope Leo XIV’s intention for mental health. 🙏 Today, we hold in prayer all those struggling with mental health challenges, especially those who suffer in silence. May they be reminded of their God-given dignity and know that they are never alone. May we become a Church that listens without judgement, welcomes without stigma, and walks alongside those who are hurting. Let us also pray for the families, caregivers and professionals who offer support and compassion, …
