Fr Rhobby shares his vocational journey

IMG_7518opEver since I could remember from a young age, the attraction to the priesthood has always been there.

But I thought God’s call would be something spectacular, like those in the Scriptures.  I was naively waiting for it.  Will it come in a dream, or an apparition, or a vision?  I was in fact blindly looking for my own sign to confirm that God was really calling.

How much more spectacular could that sign be when over and over again it was right there before my eyes were it not for my blindness!

Thought for March: Lent, the shedding of the selfish me, for the greater Agape of He

16427361-christ-carrying-the-cross--antique-relief-italyCome Mar 5, we shall enter into Lent with the traditional distribution of ashes on Ash Wednesday.
Lent is a penitential time; a solemn season in which we participate in the salvific actions of our Lord through Liturgical celebrations (Mass), and personal sacrifices in abstinence, fasting, prayer, confession and spiritual and corporal works of mercy. In a sense, through the Wisdom and guidance of the Church, we are called to die with Christ in order that we may (more fully) participate in His Resurrection, and His fullness of Life, on Easter Sunday. In effect, we are given an abundance of grace to live out our baptismal calling in a most efficacious manner.

EYC 2014 has opened my eyes

Evans Rizal – It’s been a month since Emmaus Youth Camp 2014 and there’s much that I would like to share.

I came to know about the EYC three years ago when I attended the Emmaus Teens Camp in 2011.  I know it’s not by chance that I participated in EYC 2014.  Somehow I believed that I was led to it.

Among the many things that happened at EYC, one that comes vividly to mind was the “exposure” visit to the Kayumadang dumpsite at Telipok.   I saw heaps of stinky rubbish that we threw away and lots of them were plastic bags.
