[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 20 – A Cup Overflowing

March 23, 2022 22:00 - 11 minutes - 11 MB

Yesterday, we said that God’s plan is a Project of Hope. You may ask: what exactly is my role in God’s Project of Hope? Apparently, our identity is not only as ones who are saved. Jesus was taken up into heaven so that we can “take His place” to do ”greater works” according to His instructions, while He is seated at the right hand of the Father to intercede for us, and for our ministries (John 14:12). That’s why we cannot slack off or remain idle. We need to work hard, not for ours...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 19 – God’s Project of Hope

March 22, 2022 22:00 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MB

At this stage of the retreat, it is important to reiterate that though God has a plan for each of us, He never forces it on us; instead He has given us freedom of choice. God never wants us to be His puppets; rather, He wishes us to choose Him freely, abide in and journey with Him! Very often, there is really no right or wrong choice. In fact, God never evaluates our every decision as a teacher would assess a student’s test, conferring penalties according to the “mistakes”. In trut...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 18 – The Duty of the Moment

March 21, 2022 22:00 - 12 minutes - 11.4 MB

Yesterday’s reflection explored the idea that if we habitually make the wrong decisions on life’s small things, these little mistakes will culminate into big mistakes with grave consequences. In the same way, if we fail to take care of our small things, we may find it challenging to handle bigger or more consequential things in life. According to traditional Chinese wisdom, one must begin with disciplining oneself, then the family, before managing a country and conquering the world....

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 17 – The Better Choice

March 20, 2022 22:00 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MB

The theme of this retreat offers some very important reflective materials, especially for those who serve in the Church, those who carry out special missions, or in general, all those who labour for God. In fact, our journey of becoming followers of Jesus Christ is intricately related with that of Martha and Mary. Perhaps, you may feel that the concerns and solutions discussed in last two weeks’ materials are easier said than done. They demand our tremendous effort as well as det...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 16 – A Divided Heart

March 18, 2022 22:18 - 10 minutes - 9.75 MB

In a society that puts efficiency on a pedestal, the more one can “multi-task” or juggle multiple things all at once, the more respect they will receive. These multi-taskers are often deemed more capable and talented. However, research has demonstrated that the human brain is not designed to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. When one tries to fulfil multiple duties concurrently, the overall efficiency suffers despite the apparent success of the multi-tasker, and the end results...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 15 – Toxic Communication

March 17, 2022 22:00 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MB

During the past ten days, we have been reflecting from various angles on our life’s priorities. We began with Jesus pointing out the “many things” that have kept us occupied and worried, and proceeded to examine the severe damages caused by the “many things” of our generation, mentality behind our habitual accumulation, trouble in making life choices, and our choosing of the master of our life. Then, we learned about a different kind of baggage, or another type of accumulation, that...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 14 – The Heart of Life

March 16, 2022 22:00 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MB

Yesterday’s reflection explored the idea that the devil wishes to create the greatest chaos and harm in our lives, preventing us from fulfilling our true purpose in life. He will, at any cost, distract us from the more important relationships and things, and try to make us focus on other minor concerns. In truth, interpersonal relationships can be compared to a savings account to which we deposit regularly over a long time. Broken relationships with our loved ones often bring us ...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 13 – Misplaced Priorities

March 15, 2022 22:00 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MB

Yesterday’s reflection focused on the necessity of having the appropriate mindset and positive attitude when confronting adversities and striving to fulfil our responsibilities as God’s children. The key lies in our willingness to trust God with all our hearts. As well, we now understand that there is nothing terrifying about the devil on his own but we must be cautious against his ploy. But what is his trickery on this topic of “many things”? On Day five of this retreat, we exp...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 12 – A Resilient Spirit

March 14, 2022 22:00 - 12 minutes - 11.8 MB

Yesterday, we prayed for our Father’s guidance to release us from our spiritual bondage, and to grant us healing because our emotional wounds have brought us tremendous harm and repercussions. Our Lord Jesus Christ is our companion and the key to our healing; He has unlocked the door erected by the devil’s ploy, so that we may reclaim our confidence and courage to confront where it hurts, and gradually, unfetter ourselves from the bondage of the devil. In truth, our Father has bee...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 11 – Spiritual Bondage

March 13, 2022 22:00 - 10 minutes - 9.53 MB

In yesterday’s reflection, we have explored the severe impact of hidden emotional baggage on us. Among the different types of emotional baggage, some trauma in the past may have left deeper scars, thus, have a greater impact on us. For instance, when we are betrayed by our trusted friends, or even family members, feelings of rage, fear, insecurity, or abandonment overwhelm us. These negative emotions firmly take hold in our minds, thanks to our memories of these traumatic experienc...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 10 – The Invisible Baggage

March 11, 2022 22:00 - 10 minutes - 10 MB

Over the last three reflections, we have been examining our tendency to accumulate things, including the amassing of material possessions, academic knowledge, things that inflate our ego, and so on. While we struggle with our decision to choose “things that belong to heaven” over “earthly things”, we need to pay special attention to the kind of accumulation that is more insidious, which is our emotional baggage. Since our emotional baggage has been accumulating unconsciously over t...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 9 – An Eternal Choice

March 10, 2022 22:00 - 10 minutes - 9.81 MB

In the reflections of the past four days, Jesus reminds us of the peril of troubling ourselves with life’s “many things” through his interactions with Martha and Mary. These “many things” rob us of our devotion to God and deceive us into solely relying on our own power. In addition, the devil often takes advantage of the ever evolving technologies and information to further distract our already chaotic hearts and minds, making trivialities or minor issues the focus of our life. ...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 8 – Who Is My Master?

March 09, 2022 23:02 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MB

In yesterday’s reflection, we explored how an unhealthy lifestyle could greatly impact us. While our lifestyle is built on our everyday habits, these habits are intimately connected to our attitude towards life. An attitude tainted with greed, urging us to increase our possessions, will result in a habit of accumulation. Once we have become addicted, we continue to amass more things which, in turn, cause us to stumble and fall deeper into distractions, worries, and chaos. There...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 7 – Blessed Are The Poor in Spirit

March 08, 2022 22:00 - 10 minutes - 9.78 MB

Feeling distracted, worried, disorganized, busy, lost, restless, helpless, rushed, forgetful, absent-minded, insecure, losing concentration, losing direction and purpose in life… If some of the above symptoms resonate with you, perhaps, like Martha, you have troubled yourself with “many things”, as Jesus observed. Some may feel that there is no resolution to our condition; the burden of “many things” is simply our reality and that it’s impossible for us to reduce our workload, leav...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 6 – The Devil’s Innovations

March 07, 2022 22:00 - 10 minutes - 9.4 MB

As mass communications become more efficient and social media becomes ever more popular, the devil has found more effective ways to distract us. In the past, the devil had to pull out all sorts of ideas from his bag of tricks to lead us down the path of sins and drive us farther away from God. Now, the devil doesn’t even have to lift a finger to separate us from God. The devil often occupies our minds with chaotic thoughts and fantastical ideas, leaving us no space for contempla...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 5 – The “Many Things”

March 06, 2022 22:30 - 8 minutes - 7.85 MB

Martha, perhaps feeling a bit neglected while busying herself with all the work, asked Jesus, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me” (Luke 10:40). Jesus, recognizing that Martha’s accusation and emotions come from a heart filled with chaos, said to Martha, “Martha, Martha, are you worried and distracted by many things …” (Luke 10:41). Jesus’ words succinctly pierce the chaotic heart of Martha and reveal what’s behi...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 4 – Jesus’ Confidante

March 04, 2022 22:00 - 8 minutes - 8.16 MB

Among all of Jesus’ closest friends, some of them can be considered His confidantes; Mary is definitely one of them. Mary is an introvert, contrary to Martha, an extrovert, who is more energetic and often excels in social settings. Her introspection, caring consideration for others, and tenderness offer Jesus the warmth of friendship and make him feel right at home. Both Mary and Martha have made Jesus feel welcomed, but each accomplishes that by different means. When a close fri...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 3 – Jesus Wept

March 03, 2022 22:00 - 8 minutes - 7.92 MB

John has taken great care to depict the death and resurrection of Lazarus. Not only does this scene prefigure Jesus’ death and resurrection and reveal a deep theological significance, it also portrays Jesus’ character and reveals the heart of Jesus. The Gospel of John chapter 11, verses 1 to 45 detail the dire situation of Lazarus, the dying brother of Martha and Mary. Jesus had not revived Lazarus in time. Lazarus had died before Jesus’ arrival. It is described that Jesus onl...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 2 – Jesus’ Close Friends

March 02, 2022 22:00 - 9 minutes - 8.86 MB

Is it really possible to find order in chaos? For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God. (Ref: Mark 10:27) Our best role model is Jesus, and his key is to know the will of God. Jesus is the perfect image of God, and when we learn about the true character of Jesus, we also start to learn the will of God. One of the best ways to know the true character of Jesus is through meditating on His interactions with friends. Besides his disciples, we...

[Finding Order in Chaos] Day 1 – Finding Order in Chaos…is it possible?

March 01, 2022 22:00 - 7 minutes - 7.33 MB

In this chaotic world, having inner peace has become a luxury. Yet, no one wants to live in a state of restlessness. Therefore, whether or not one has religious beliefs, he or she will intentionally or unintentionally seek some spiritual nourishment and anchor in order to obtain a sense of security that cannot come from oneself. Usually, this sense of security comes from a sense of order in life, and this sense of security ensures that people can have some basic control even when fa...

Day 40 – The Extravagant Homecoming Feast

April 03, 2021 04:19 - 14 minutes - 15.8 MB

From the moment Jesus’ Heart was torn apart by the accusation of the Pharisees and scribes, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them” (Luke 15:2) which had also set the stage for our 40-Day Lenten Retreat, we have now come to the last scene. The Pharisees and scribes were also the lost sheep, which Jesus loved as well. Their pride and hardened hearts pierced the Heart of Jesus, who was Himself the icon and face of the Father to them. Piercing Jesus' heart is piercing the heart ...

[Our Journey Home] Day 39 – Intimacy Revealed

April 02, 2021 02:08 - 9 minutes - 11.1 MB

Yesterday we said that God shows no partiality. You may wonder, is that really true? Didn’t Jesus have His favourite friends and disciples? The first ones who come to our minds could be Jesus’ friends, Mary, Martha and Lazarus. As Jesus was also a human being bound by time and space, He could not be there for many people at the same time during His short three years of public ministry. He needed to focus and grow some deeper relationships rather than being everything for everyone. A...

Day 38 – You are My Beloved Child

April 01, 2021 02:32 - 9 minutes - 11.3 MB

God the Father spoke three times in the New Testament that could be heard. We will talk about two of these incidents today. The first time was at Jesus’ baptism, After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened [for him], and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove [and] coming upon Him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17) and the second time on the Mount...

[Our Journey Home] Day 37 – Lift Jesus Higher

March 31, 2021 03:09 - 10 minutes - 11.8 MB

As we are invited to remain close to Jesus, we will be able to witness clearly and firsthand how much Jesus has suffered for us. This is done through meditating on the Gospel. This is crucial as we strive to build an intimate relationship with God, which will then sustain our spiritual growth. If we do not know how much God is willing to suffer for us, we do not know how to appreciate God’s love. This lack of appreciation weakens the awareness of our identity which results in a dis...

Day 36 – Love at Zero Distance

March 30, 2021 02:18 - 10 minutes - 11.9 MB

Like all the apostles who promised Jesus not to desert Him as He went through His Passion, we know that in reality, most of us will. When you were asked yesterday whether you would choose to be a deserter or a faithful follower, what was your choice? None of us want to be identified as a deserter. But why, in reality, only so few of us are found at the foot of the Cross? What is going on here? Let us turn to Mother Mary, who has always been following Jesus closely, both physically a...

Day 35 – Keeping a Distance

March 29, 2021 02:10 - 9 minutes - 11.3 MB

We should humbly accept that we are still far away from our Father’s Heart, like the two brothers in the parable. We have, to different extents, deviated from the right path. We are all in some forms of a distant country. Whether we like it or not, we are all like the elder and the younger sons in different ways. Aren’t we stubborn and tied up by our bad habits and attitudes, wrong beliefs, prejudices and judgments, and deviated behaviours and actions? Our images are disfigured by o...

Yesterday, we talked about the Father’s Pain, the Father’s Passion... Nothing is more devastating to the Father than to see His children drifting away from the source of life, entrapped in sins willingly or unknowingly, killing and trampling on one another along the way, intoxicated and suffocating by the venom of the snake, and unconsciously entering the dark valley of death, slowly passing away… By trusting in ourselves rather than in God, we are following the wrong path deviated ...

Day 33 – The Father’s Pain

March 26, 2021 01:21 - 8 minutes - 11.2 MB

Through the previous reflections, have you gained a better understanding of the nature of our Heavenly Father? He prefers collaboration to competition. He desires mercy over justice. Even though He is THE JUDGE, He withholds His anger to give us chances to repent. Instead of demanding from us, He likes to give unconditionally and abundantly. And in order to save us from eternal damnation and to be with us forever, while we were still sinners, He sacrificed His only Son so that eve...

While the two brothers in the parable have very different personalities and they have followed very different paths in lives, there are a lot of similarities between them. While the younger son is addicted to pleasures and sinful activities, the elder son has clinged to status and personal achievements and is obsessed with following rules. Both are forms of slavery. As the younger son demands his share of his father’s property, the elder son slaves for his livelihood and inheritan...

Day 31 – The Price of Judging and Competing

In our society, we often ask, “What is my fair share?” “What is my entitlement?” It is as if the world and others owe us many things that should rightfully be ours. How much is enough? Our wants seem to be endless. We often ask, “How can I protect my rights so that I am not taken advantage of?” But where should we draw the line? Instead of asking, “Am I getting enough?” How about asking, “Am I giving enough?” When we are in a GIVING mindset instead of a GETTING mindset, everythin...

Yesterday we learned from the Catechism of the Catholic Church the definition of the virtue of justice: Justice is the moral virtue that consists in the constant and firm will to give their due to God and neighbour (CCC 1807). This is a concept that not many people are aware of or consciously practicing. The lack of this mentality leads to all sorts of conflicts among individuals and groups who are trying to protect and fight for their own interests. Conflict resolution requires us ...

“Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf.” (Luke 15:29-30) The elder son felt very defeated to know that the Father was celebrating the younger son’s return. Not only did he feel unappreciated and casted aside, but he also felt that he was unfairly treated by his fat...

The servant said to him, ‘Your brother has returned and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ He became angry… (Luke 15:25-28) “What is happening here in the house?

Yesterday, we witnessed the huge change in the younger son. In him, we see what true repentance should be like. It is his determination and the resulting actions that moved his father’s heart. The father looked beyond his sinful past in order to receive this penitent son with wide open arms. The father understood that it was much easier for this son to permanently walk away from him. Facing the huge damages done which required extraordinary effort to make up, the younger son could ...

Being a rich and successful person, the father was not naive enough to spoil his recovered son upon his return. The father who knew his son well also knew what was best for him. He knew it took his son great courage, determination, and perseverance in order to make it home from the distant country! While his son did not understand his father, the fath...
