New Modern Saint : Carlos Acutis


There's a hope among the helpless

There's a light above the darkness

There's a new saint in the middle of Covid-19 Pandemic

A new saint will be announced on October 10th by the Pope. He's Carlos Acutis.


A young teenager who died because of Leukemia. His body was intact when it was exhumed however, it's not incorrupt totally. What's important is not the body but how he's living his life holy.

He loved Jesus and Eucharist and also computer games and outdoor sports like any other normal teenagers. As I reflect on this, I feel encouraged and have a hope that everyone can be a saint in this modern world.

It's not living in perfect life but living in the imperfect world with the eyes of holiness.

This makes me thinking what exactly I want to do in this world, the clock is ticking, we don't know when it's time to return to our permanent home.

However, I have made four requests to God if my earthly time has up

1. Before I leave this world, I want to take 6 sacraments and Eucharist will be the last sacrament before I breath for the last time

2. I don't want to spend my life in purgatory, I want to go to heaven and meet all the angels and saints that I cannot see now but I can feel they are real

3. I want St Ignatius de Loyola and Mother Mary welcome and bring me to meet the Almighty Father. I have been praying daily rosary and devotion to St Ignatius de Loyola who have brought my soul back to Jesus, to live detaching myself for worldly things and be generous in everything I have and do.

4. When I die in healthy way, I want to donate my organs to those in need. I have been taking care this body given by God and want to pass it on to those who may need a second chance in their life.

Well, life is short. We cannot return back to yesterday. I just give myself the best everyday make everyday is a great and fulfilling day so that I don't live in regret.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
