MAY PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON YOU, MDM LIM

-

A genteel lady of 85,
It is our blessing to have known you, Mdm Lim....
Enjoy your heavenly reward, 
in peace and joy
in eternity....

“...we believe that having died with Christ, we shall return to life with him:  Christ as we know, having been raised from the dead will never die again.  Death has no power over him any more.  When he died, he died, once for all, to sin, so his life now is life with God; and in that way, you too must consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive for God in Christ Jesus.”  Rom 6:8-11

If we have died with him, then we shall live with him. (2 Tim 2:11)

May the Lord guard our going and coming, both now and for ever.  Amen (Ps 120:8)

FORTITUDE

-
Fortitude is a virtue.  I t is one of four cardinal virtues.   It is also known as courage or bravery. Fortitude is about overcoming fear in order to do the right thing,  even when we do not want to. Fortitude prompts us to take action,  to keep going ,   even w hen we’re threatened by significant suffering and loss.   Because we know that the good we are pursuing  and protecting  is more important than the good we are risking. Transcript -  FEAR FEAR OF DEATH The primary human fear is the fear of death because death represents the loss of every created good, everything in this world. That’s why our Lord says that no one has greater love than this, to lay down his life for his friend. Because in laying down our lives, we are laying down all earthly goods at our disposal. So to be really brave, we can’t be dominated by a fear of death. If we are, then as the book of Hebrews says, we will be kept in slavery to the devil all our lives....

BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT

-
The body (soma)  Is our physical nature Is   our solidarity with all of material creation. Relates us to others. The soul (psyche)  Is our intellectual nature Is the natural principle of life, resulting from God’s creative act.   Belongs to the mind with its ability to reason, organise and think. The soul’s horizon is what reason can see. The spirit (pneuma) Is our spiritual nature  Is the highest part of the person. Is the person’s openness to the transcendent , to mystery , to God . In the human person,  The body relates us to material creation The soul  organises our life The spirit  is our reaching out beyond ourselves. The healthy development of the human person happens when all three of these are functioning properly and their activity is integrated. ——— Archbishop William Goh spoke about the body, soul (mind) and spirit (heart) in his Scripture reflection (15 Jan 2021): “As human beings, we are constituted of body, soul and sp...
