G and I have been on our RCIA journey since May 2015. I feel so happy and blessed to have been able to persist in this journey to become Catholic and get closer to God. The weekly lessons, discussion sessions and retreats have been worth it. So glad that G has been there by my side, together with Michael, our good friend and sponsor. He's going to be our (Leia and I) Godparent too!
I really thank God for being there for us and giving us his Grace. In Archbishop William Goh's daily reflection and homily, he reminded us that the Rite of Election is a celebration of a double election. One of us choosing God and more importantly, the other is God having chosen us right from the beginning. We would not be going through this if not for his love and mercy.
He also reminded us what it means to really choose and serve our Lord. To really trust in Him and His providence. Many of us say we love our God, but we always worry about life and what it is to come. If God is our Father, he would definitely provide for us. But the problem arises when sometimes, we don't agree with His will or become greedy and ask for more than what we need. I pray for G and I that we will learn to trust in our Lord and be contented and grateful with what God has given and will give us.
Our dear Archbishop also talked about how we always say we love God, but our actions speak otherwise. How often do we think of our Lord, how often do we pray and speak to Him and do His deeds? Such true words. I sincerely hope that G and I and all our brothers and sisters, will remember our Father always and translate our Love to actual acts of good.
Our Archbishop's homily was truly inspiring. And his words touched us all. Really hope they would continue to linger in all our hearts and remind us to be good and faithful Christians.
There's still sometime before our actual baptism on 26th March. Praying for continuous guidance from God and the Holy Spirit before this joyous day.
