BEC Gathering at Saujana Utama

On the 15th and 16th of January, I had the opportunity to visit two BECs (Basic Ecclesical Communities) in Saujana Utama, Sg Buloh in Kepong. The two BECs belong to the parish of Christ the Light, Kepong, under the administration of Fr Albet Arockiasamy.

The BEC gatherings were a part of the preparation for the coming feast of the parish. On the first day, we had a discussion based on the reading from 1 Corinthians 12: 12-30 and on the second day we summed up our discussion/sharing with the Eucharistic celebration at the "Balai Raya Saujana Utama". Almost 50 people attended the Mass.

I spoke about the description of the Church as explained by St Paul in his reading. St Paul uses the physical human body as a metaphor for the Church, the Body of Christ. We are many parts but we form one body heading in a common direction, especially in this Year of Faith. We are different from one another but we are unique, distinctive and irreplaceable. God design us to affirm, to encourage, to care, to serve and to build one another in His love. The Mass ended with a fellowship.
