Dear Beloved St Mark Congregation,
Given the restriction on the number of people who can physically attend the liturgy during these testing times, we have reached capacity and ask that you partake in the mass from home with our live stream.
Please Lord change my heart to be a manger, lowly to be worthy to receive Jesus the Lord.
Merry Christmas to our beloved congregation in Singapore ๐๐
A blessed Sunday to my beloveds.
Today Gospel:
"And whosoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple"
To know u r correctly following Jesus, there have 2 b sacrifices. Our serious fasting is a token of sacrifice. Enjoy the glory of being His disciple๐

HUMILITY: is the constant forgetfulness of one's achievements. It's the mind's awareness that one is weak n helpless. It's 2 b the 1st 2 end a quarrel. It's the acknowledgment of Devine grace n mercy. It is a secured road 2 holiness n 2 heaven. Help me Lord plz 2 achieve it ๐๐
"So Joseph found favor in his sight" Gen39:4. It's the secret of love. All the saints searched 2 find good in people so they loved everyone. The Lord does the same with us. Plz God help me this morning 2 find good in people 2 love them n not judging them๐ A blsd morning 2 all ๐
Man of God deals with people focusing on God. Questions like 'What would Jesus do' or 'how can I bring this person closer 2 God' or 'how can I abide 2 Your commandments God' is more important than judging people or deal with them according 2 their standards. Help us plz God ๐๐
The descend of the Holy Spirit marks the start of the Church. Any goodness starts by the support of the HS. He is needed to start an acceptable fasting, a true repentance, a reconciliation path etc. Understand the need of the HS n befriend Him.
Have a blessed feast of Pentecost.
