“Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

This image made me think of the possibility of the Angels and Saints visiting and listening attentively to the Lord in […]

Spring Cleaning on Ash Wednesday
It is a tradition to do a thorough “Spring Cleaning” prior to Chinese New Year. It is most auspicious to have a clean and organized house so as to have a great start for a New Year. I am thinking that, perhaps, Ash Wednesday will be a perfect day for Spring cleaning! I just read […]

How quickly can you answer to “Do you know Jesus Christ?”

Motivation for being Catholic
It is interesting to read about the interview that Pope Benedict XVI gave in Oct 2015 that he was deeply concerned why any Christian should bother keeping up or where will be the motivation for missionary work, when document from Vatican II state that there can be salvation for all.

Meeting my Dad in my Project
It has been a little while since I last spent some time on this website whyatbreakfast.com or organizing a breakfast talk.
