TESTIMONY & THANKSGIVING: His Unstoppable Power

by Angelica Goh

Astounded, amazed, in awe. These were the emotions I experienced at the end of EXALT’21.

In the preparations leading up to Exalt, I found myself worrying about many things. The worsening COVID situation,  the weather, the planning, and an endless list of many other things. I was also slightly disappointed that we would not be able to show our hospitality as we used to (pre-covid), through warm hugs or big wide smiles (due to needing to wear masks).

However, serving at Exalt reminded me of the unstoppable power of God and helped me to witness His faithfulness yet again. He was there in the good weather during Mass, there in the many eye smiles, and there in the many different moments during Exalt where many came to encounter Him. Looking back, He reminded me that He was very intimately involved in the planning of Exalt and that He was the one who made all of this possible, even when things seemed impossible. He taught me once again to lean on and trust in Him, for He is bigger than any worry or circumstance!

Angelica was part of the Befrienders team that was responsible for welcoming participants and extending their hospitality to them throughout the event. Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing more testimonies from our service team with you, so stay tuned to our social media platforms for more!

Walking Through Lent: The Everyday Victory of Jesus

Even those of us who doubt, are accounted for by Him. We are neither forgotten nor forsaken. Pope Benedict reminds us of the fact that Jesus is with us always and walks with us in the minutiae of our lives, no matter how ugly or despicable or doubtful. He died, rose from the dead and yet, continues to accompany us daily.

Walking Through Lent: The Radiance of the Resurrection

Jesus’ victory is one that exists in a broken world where many of us continue to suffer. 

For those of us who continue to struggle and suffer and grapple with our own darkness, today’s celebration is a reminder that Jesus opens the way to freedom, justice, victory and hope! Just as there is nothing that the light of the sun does not touch, the light of the resurrection touches us all, and illuminates all that is dark within us.

Walking Through Lent: Love Came Down

Pope Benedict XVI encourages us to keep our eyes on the Lord. He writes that the Cross “speaks to all who suffer…and it offers them hope that God can transform their suffering into joy, their isolation into communion, their death into life.” In Christ, the weight of our sin and shame is replaced by His overwhelming, and limitless love. In this very love, we are invited to unite our hearts with Him, to draw close and experience the redemptive, transformative, power of Christ and His sacrifice.
