The feast of Corpus Christi and St. Anthony

By -
The feast of Corpus Christi is more than a reminder that Jesus is indeed the Bread of Life. It is also a celebration of his generous hospitality. When he feeds the multitudes, we see his warm welcome to those who had come to hear him speak about God.(Matthew 15: 29 -37)


They were drawn to him, attracted by his loving kindness. Their desire for what he had to give, the food of the spirit, was strong and he gave it to them in abundance. And yet, although he knew that they hungered for more than simple bread, he did not ignore their physical needs. 
Today is also the feast of St. Anthony. He is the patron saint of lost souls. 


Therefore, let us dedicate today and pledge to cultivate a sense hospitality towards other especially in preparing for the next CHOICE weekend. We also seek the intercession of St. Anthony to bring back lost souls to Jesus.

We opened our beautiful Saturday morning, 8th April 2017 with a Gasing hike. 22 angelic 😇😇 members joined the fun. Our CHOICE friend, Ali  on the other hand, had no choice but to come to honour the 'memorandum of understanding' that was made with the CHOICE team. Ahem.. thank you people for persistently attending  morning mass for this purpose 😂😂😁. He also came for health reasons la.. This is the story of our Ali. As he was hiking Gasing hill for the first time, he saw this... Wahlaowei... he muttered. Dia pun berkata, "Merenung masa depan, turun tak boleh, naik lagi tak boleh😜😜😜."  hahahah, jangan marah Alis  And then... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... He is still there😆😜 Sitting like a meditating Buddha. Already bertaubat d from He is also very sweet and 'helpful' "Cherry, u ok? I jaga u ar..."😂😂 " Cherry, jum duduk jap"😂😂😜😜 Alex...

It was always going to be a battle between Power Rangers vs the beast. On Sunday, April 2nd 2017 we had both movies planned and the movie tickets bought. But for some reason the beastly romance 😂😂😂 melted most our ladies hearts and naturally our gentlemen had to sacrifice the action (for lent time - amen) and tagged along. Poor Eric was one example... Had to defect to the 'other' side.. Hahahahha. Just kidding la... but seriously, t he guys were nobody was victimised here.. . We all had fun *wink* One thing is for sure... none of us turned Gay!!! Awwww the sweetest ppl in the house!  However, I must say, the most remarkable person was our loving Mama bear . Thank you for making this movie date happened!

What does CHOICE mean to you? #1

Preparing for the CHOICE weekends is truly an amazing experience. In these series of post, we interviewed some of the members to share their encounters with CHOICE that inspired them to return and to serve subsequent weekends. 1. Issues in life you struggled with before choice.  I led a routine based life, had a difficult time balancing between career and personal relationship. 2. What choice is to you? At first, it was merely for me to have a break from the hectic life I was leading. 3. How has choice change your life? Choice has taught me that I am not in this world by myself, it has made me self reflect and also has made me make some amazing friends who has now become family. 4. What is life like after choice? I am now more involved in church activities (in a way, giving back to society), break away from my routine based lifestyle, meeting new people and constantly growing spiritually and personally.
