A rather intriguing title comprising of 2 topics that most of us dislike: Dying and Cleaning. Yet, the only thing that none of us can change is the fact that we will die one day. So what then is the meaning of this term ‘death cleaning’?

Lenten Reflections | Jesus falls the first time
In what way are we adding to the weight of Christ’s cross? In which areas can we turn to God more? Through persistent prayer, the sacraments and abstaining from small things, I was able to overcome my weakness.
Regrets
Working as an ENT surgeon makes me come in contact with a lot of patients suffering from head and neck cancers. Many of them are middle-aged and have far advanced cancers thus having very few years ahead of them. On spending time talking to them, most have regrets. Some of the common ones include:
- I wish I pursued my dreams and aspirations and not what others expected of me.
- I wish I had spent more time with my family and friends.
- I wish I had the courage to express my feelings and speak my mind.
- I wish I had not fallen prey to this addiction (smoking, pan chewing) and ruined my life.
Love is a Choice
I found my life partner in the most mysterious and miraculous of circumstances and it is now 7 months since we are married. Our days of courtship were, as any other young couples would be: simply amazing. We both felt that we had found the dream partner and were madly in love. She worked abroad as an air hostess and I would stay up nights just to talk to her because of the time difference. I would send her letters, cards, small surprises and much more. She reciprocated through letters and gifts when she came down. We thought that loving each other wasn’t that difficult. However, marriage has made us realise that love isn’t about “what we can get the other” but rather “what we can give the other”
The Greatest Husband Ever
As a newly married man, I often struggle to do justice to my prayer, family and work life. Day to day responsibilities can occasionally get overwhelming and I believe that at such moments, it is necessary to have a role model whom I can look up to. Who better than St. Joseph?
Spiritual lessons from the Life of Judas Iscariot
Judas had been called personally by the Lord, followed him for three years, heard him preach and teach; had seen him walk on water, still stormy seas, feed thousands with five breads and two fish, raise three people from the dead, heal on countless occasions the sick, blind and lame and have mercy on countless sinners. He had even received from the Lord, the power to do many of these same things himself and had been entrusted by Him with the money bag for the twelve. (Fr. Roger J. Landry)
Judas had a master who was in no way a dictator, but rather was the most compassionate and loving man to walk this earth. What went wrong then? Why did Judas betray the most loving man to ever live?
Advent Series: Christmas Day
'As a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you' - Isaiah 62:5
Today, the Son of God is born, and everything changes. The Saviour of the world comes to partake of our human nature; no longer are we alone and forsaken. The Virgin offers us her Son as the beginning of a new life.
Advent Series: The “Yes” that changed mankind
Mary said,
"Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word" - Luke 1:38
If Mary’s story teaches us anything about our own lives, it is that our God is a God of surprises. He is also the Father of Possibility - the maker of miracles.
Advent Series: The Refiner’s Fire
'He will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver' - Malachi 3:3
A refiner’s fire melts down the bar of silver or gold, separates out the impurities that ruin its value, burns them up, and leaves the silver and gold intact.
