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.

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in.

What to do when you don't know what to do

I’ve been absent from writing the blog for quite a while, as I felt there wasn’t any story worth sharing. But today, I want to share something that happened in August. For some time, I had been waiting and praying, asking God to show me whether I should persevere with this winter rental business. I often felt that all my efforts were in vain, and I had reached the end of my wits, unsure of what else to do. In my prayer, I asked God specifically for a sign: if there was even just one try-on appointment in August, it would mean that He still blesses this business and that it remains aligned with His plan. That very afternoon, I suddenly received a WhatsApp message from a man who wanted to arrange a try-on session for the next day. I replied quickly, asking for details — and to my surprise, he said 10 adults were traveling together! I immediately told my husband, though I also explained that we didn’t have enough stock for such a large group. My husband encouraged me to call and explain t...
