The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity is the celebration of the mystery of God as a Family of Love. It reminds us of God’s plan that we share in His life of glory. We are born of God the Father, God the Son becomes our brother, and the love of God is poured into our hearts by the…

PENTECOST MARKS the birthday of the Church. The gift of the Holy Spirit is always available to us, provided we are willing to receive it. Pentecost is a good opportunity for evaluating how we are using our God-given gifts.  Being a patient father, loving mother, good listener, and friend of the elderly and vulnerable may not attract headlines but…

Jesus’ prayer for unity emphasizes that we will find unity in Christ – not in one another. The more we grow like Christ, the more united we will be.  We are living stones of the building which has only one foundation: Jesus.  Each of us has the responsibility of promoting unity.  Others won’t know that Christ is real unless we bear witness and they…

The peace that Jesus offers us is the confidence of being loved by God. The basis of peace is God, the secret of peace is trust, and the soul of peace is love. Question: Are we at peace with ourselves? This is the wonderful effect of being accepted by God. – RDK Get the latest from Assumption Church PJ.  Just click on…

Love is the commandment on which we are called to base every action – it is the very core of the Gospel. Love has the power to give meaning to impossible situations, to bring light into darkness, to inspire people with hope and courage. Often love requires forgiveness. The good news is that we have been chosen to be instruments of His love. In…

Enormous riches lie within the hearts of our youth. Many never draw on their talents because they are afraid to take the risk of faith that is needed. Their special calling is to be Christ to others in times of need, to be healers in times of pain, to be strong when support is needed. The duty of fostering vocations is the concern…

The challenge Jesus gives to Peter is the same for us. We are to plunge into the waters of life and risk everything for God. Each of us has been summoned by Jesus to bear effective witness, to preach in His Name to a world that does not always want to hear the truth. To be faithful to the…

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY focuses on the gift of mercy and love given through Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. As Pope John Paul II stated, “Divine Mercy reaches human beings through the heart of Christ crucified.” Divine Mercy is God’s love reaching down to meet the needs and overcome the miseries of His people.

Easter is the turning point to live in an entirely new way that is beyond the limitations of this world. We are challenged to become part of a new creation, and to see God’s plan in the ordinary events surrounding us. The question we must face: Have we arisen to new life with Christ, or are there boulders weighing us…

During Holy Week, Jesus wants the work of His Cross to touch our lives, to break our sinful ways so that we may be changed and get closer to God. This Week, we are confronted with the Cross – without which we cannot become His disciples. It gives us an opportunity to ponder: What is the cross I am taking up daily or refusing…
