We lament the recent oil spill that released 400 tonnes of fuel into the sea. However, it is heartening to witness the swift responses from both authorities and volunteers in containing the environmental damage. Caritas Singapore has also extended its support and remains committed to assisting in any way possible.

The oil spill is likely to have severe negative impacts on marine life and the environment. This serves as a reminder of our responsibility to be better stewards of the environment—a precious gift from God. Let us each explore how we can contribute and remain steadfast in our efforts. Together, we can be a force of good in our society.

Let us keep all staff, contract workers, and volunteers involved in these efforts in our prayers, asking for their protection from harm. May our coasts and marine life soon return to good health.

What does it mean when the Church says work has dignity? Why is it a problem when managers micromanage their staff? Why do persons with and without intellectual disabilities have equal dignity? What is the problem with both capitalism and communism? What is our duty to the poor and the environment? Why does the Church prefer democracy? What does the Church have to say about world peace?

Jesus challenges us in the gospel to interpret the signs of the times. Come and turn to the Church’s social teachings so we can obtain the tools to think about the social issues of our time!
