True peace comes when we surrender and empty our hearts
In this heartfelt homily, Fr. Simon reflects on the profound peace that comes from God, even amid suffering, uncertainty and life's greatest challenges.Drawing from his encounters with Fr. Simon Pereira during his final weeks, he reminds us that true peace is not the absence of problems, worries or distractions. Rather, it is a gift that comes from opening our hearts and trusting in God.Fr. Simon invites us to rediscover the power of Eucharistic Adoration. Peace is not measured by how many prayers we recite or how long we spend praying, but by the sincerity of our hearts and our willingness to encounter Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. True peace begins when we empty our hearts, surrender our worries and allow God to fill us with His presence.- Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Simon Tan, C.Ss.R. (19 September 2026)

“Here I Am, Send Me” - From Fear to Thanksgiving
Fr. John Hodgson reminded us that a Novena is a time of waiting, praying and trusting in God. Through Diane's story, he showed how fear can be transformed into thanksgiving when we recognize that "God doesn't hurt us" but offers healing and grace. Like Diane, we are invited to hold our worries in God's loving heart through Mary.As the Redemptorists enter a time of change, we accompany them in prayer and trust. "God holds a mystery," and Mary brings us to Jesus, sending us forth to proclaim "the good things that God has done" in our lives.- Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. John Hodgson, C.Ss.R. (5 September 2026)

What Does it mean to "Go and make disciples of all nations"?
“Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love “- St Mother Teresa.St. Mother Teresa is an exemplary example of a missionary disciple, but she understood that charity begins at home. But of course, Mother Mary is the first and perfect missionary disciple. After the annunciation, Mary went in haste and carried Jesus to bring joy to her cousin Elizabeth.Mary teaches us that when we carry Jesus our heart, we bring the presence of Jesus to others especially to the ones who do not know Him. We can make a spiritual impact to people we meet each day.Mother Mary shows us that true devotion matures into discipleship. We are all called not only to pray and intercede for others but to invite them to encounter Jesus through Mary by the witness of our lives and hopefully lead them to their own experience of Jesus through the Novena Devotion and the upcoming Annual Procession.Saturday Novena Devotion by Br. Celestine Toh, C.Ss.R (29 August 2026)

Bringing Christ through our actions in everyday life - Can we be credible witnesses?
In this homily, Fr. Peter Wee reflected on Jesus' call: "You will be my witnesses." Christian life is not only about "me and Jesus," but about bringing Christ to the world through our words, character, behaviour, and daily encounters. Like Mary, whose faithful life proclaimed God's love even in silence, we are called to be credible witnesses wherever. Our patience, kindness, speech and treatment of others - at home, at work, of even while waiting in queue - should reveal God's presence.Fr. Peter reminded us that the Gospel must first transform us before it can be recognized through us. Like Mary, may we become credible witnesses of Jesus - not only by what we say, but by the lives we lead.- Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Peter Wee, C.Ss.R. (22 August 2026)

A Father who always Welcome His Children Home
Reflecting on the parable of the Prodigal Son, Fr. Simon reminds us that at the heart of the story is the compassionate and unconditional love of God, a Father who always welcomes His children home with open arms.Yet reconciliation is more than simply confessing our sins. It is a conversion of the heart: recognising where we have fallen, returning to God, and sincerely desiring to change. Even when we struggle with habitual sins and repeated failures, God never tires of inviting us back to Him.Fr. Simon then challenges us to go one step further. Having experienced God’s mercy ourselves, can we become instruments of that same mercy to others—especially those who no longer come to church or feel distant from God?Through patience, kindness, forgiveness, compassion and a non-judgmental heart, our lives can help others encounter God.Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Simon Tan, C.Ss.R. (15 August 2026)

Can we go and do likewise - love our neighbours as ourselves?
Fr. Glenn related a story of 2 soldiers in WWII akin to the Good Samaritan story. An American soldier, John met 2 Japanese snipers as he came out of a cave in Okinawa, carrying a wounded boy. John tended to the wounds of the Japanese boy and the 2 Japanese snipers let him go. Years later, John wrote to the Japanese newspaper relating this event and Ishibashi, one of the Japanese soldiers contacted him and they became friends. This is akin to the Good Samaritan story where a man was beaten up along the road between Jericho and Jerusalem and was left for dead. A priest and a Levite passed by, but walked away. Instead, a Samaritan, who was considered an outcast by the Israelites, tended to the man’s wounds and brought him to the inn to recuperate.On reflection, usually we should disinfect the wound with wine and then apply oil to soothe the wound. The Samaritan did the opposite. Oil before Wine- because it is sacramental. When we do something good, it is sacramental.Our challenge is-who is my neighbour? When we love our neighbour, we make Jesus know and Mary known, increasing our faith as well.Jesus’ greatest commandment is to love God and love our neighbour as ourselves.- Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Glenn De Cruz, C.Ss.R. (8 August 2026)

Beyond Rigid Rules or Excessive Fear to Compassion and God's Love
On the Feast of Saint Alphonsus, Fr. Ino reflected on the saint's lifelong struggle with scrupulosity - an excessive fear of sin and of not being good enough before God. Through relatable and daily life examples, Fr. Ino reminds us that not every mistake, distraction or forgotten responsibility is a sin. Despite his own struggles, Saint Alphonsus did not become rigid or fearful; instead, he grew in compassion, understanding and love, eventually becoming the patron saint of moral theologians. His life reminds us that while rules have their place, faith is ultimately about the heart - trusting in God's love and extending that love to others. Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Victorino Cueto, C.Ss.R. (1 August 2026)
