Gospel Alive #2 - How many times should I forgive?

By -
Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 17 September 2017
Do you still remember what was last Sunday's gospel reading? 


It was basically about our friend St. Peter asking Jesus on our behalf for some exam tips eh, I mean spiritual Christian life tips to go to heaven.... Seven times cukup ah Brother?.. can la..
Then Jesus say... sorry brother, tak cukup la.. Must be 70x7 times.
Huh.. means 70x7= 490 times ah for each person? means what? How la liddat?  Haiyo.. want to forgive 1 time also so susah d. 70 times 7 means like forever la kena forgive.

Then Jesus cerita a parable to make us faham sikit and to lessen our sakit hati. Forgiving people who have hurt or wronged us is not easy. We feel tempted to give them the hand



God has forgiven our biggest debts when He died for us on the cross.

However, despite what God has done for us, when our brother owes us stuff, we jump left right and centre with foam in our mouths



What Jesus is saying to us today is... 

" Forgiveness is two ways. When we forgive, we LIBERATE the other person and then we become HEALED" - Fr Marie, Sunday Homily, Assumption PJ.

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.
