神父你好,我是位天主教徒,雖然我不算是很虔誠,但時常覺得要守誡命。我從小在完整家庭長大,可是父母感情不好,常常在我面前吵架、冷戰,令我對感情關係沒信心,很怕被男人有目的地接近然後拋棄。身邊都不少追求者,也有自己心儀的,但感覺他們常常測試我的底線,我還是堅守誡命,但對他們很失望,也令我懷疑自己是否太守舊,堅拒婚前性行為,還覺得是件很髒的事。既然我從小在表面完整但內裏破碎的家庭長大,內心已經充滿傷口、為什麼天主還要我經歷多次不成功的關係,令我再次受傷?神父求你幫幫我。
根據香港教區2000年准印的「修和聖事」小册子,十誡中第九誡「毋願他人妻」包括貪戀獻身天主的人。那麼前文 (https://askfrfrancis.org/qa/marriage-of-religious) 提到那些為了想過婚姻生活而改宗的神職人員,在改宗前,他們及/或他們的配偶是否犯了第九誡? 如果是,他們可否藉修和聖事獲得赦免?
請問為亡者領大赦,我已亡的阿媽不是天主教徒,我可以為她領全大赦嗎? 若我對小罪還有依戀等而只能領限大赦,我可以為亡者如我阿媽領限大赦嗎?還是限大赦只能為自己而不能為亡者領取? 是否唸玫瑰經和為教宗意向祈禱天主經聖母經便能領限大赦?還是還需要告解和領聖體?
平安。最近是救主慈悲主日,我看到新教徒兄弟姐妹並不承認救主慈悲敬禮,因為他們認為聖經並未記載此事。但是基督是真正活著的,所以祂必然可以再次顯現給某人對吧?可是新教徒卻只篤信聖經,而不相信耶穌在聖經之外的臨在。如果有新教徒朋友問起這件事,我該如何回答呢?
In the Summa Theologiae, Tertia Pars, Question 83, Article 5, Objection 3; Aquinas ascribes the sign of the cross to events of the Passion when the priest says certain lines in the Roman Canon. These actions are now omitted, even though the text is unchanged. What changed and can the actions return?
想請教一問題。告解只赦罪惡,不赦罪罰,所以教友會求大赦(如諸聖節時)。但若然天主的寬恕是絕對及完全的,我們何以仍需要接受罪罰?我若完全寬恕了別人,應不計較他所欠我任何形式的賠償,而這亦是耶穌的教導. 若我仍要懲罰得罪我的人,怎能說我的寬恕是完全呢?
What should we do if we suspect a priest or a Catholic Church is under influence of evil attack or occult or witchcraft who often find target at priests and churches? Should we avoid the church when it is suspected there are satanic or witchcraft practisers infiltrating into the churches? Holy communion received from priests less holy at heart or do not fully practice Catholic teaching would be less recommended?
It is still Advent season, and I heard a choir singing a Christmas Carol during communion at mass. Should Christmas Carols be sung at mass during Advent?
If a Muslim who has four wives and has children with each of the wives, wishes to convert to Catholicism, what should he do with the wives, since marriage in Catholicism is only between one man and one woman, and divorce is prohibited?
