Spiritual reflection_6December2006

Have been very busy with work and voluntary work at the Justice and Peace Commission recently. Have learnt a lot. I was lucky to have the chance to speak at St. Andrew's Church last Sunday. Thanks to the excellent preparation work done by the staff at Justice and Peace Commission, the speech was very well received. The topic was about globalisation and the poor with reference to the commercialisation of Christmas. Due to globalisation, the problem of uneven distribution of wealth is becoming worse. The wealth gap between the rich and the poor has been further widened. I was so happy that a sister at the parish came to me after the mass liturgy on that day and asked me if she could use the text of my speech for the parish's newsletter. I felt very much honoured by God's grace to have given me the opportunity to speak for the poor at a parish with socially-minded people. Let us pray for the poor as Christmas is coming!
