平安,神父我想請問雙方都是教友,在教堂辦過婚姻彌撒而且還有一名兒子。這樣的狀況下另一方提出離婚,在什麼的狀況下教會才會批准婚姻無效呢?我知道教會不允許離婚只建議分居除非特殊原因。還有如果另一半已經有男伴友而且同居,在這樣的狀況下我知道是不允許領聖體,除非對方辦和好聖事,在於對方脫離關係才可以領受聖體是嗎?謝謝。
I was wondering why people are allowed to remarry once their spouse died. Wouldn’t they end up with several spouses then? I also want to know if marriages on Earth will be honoured in heaven or if God will take away our marriage? I love my girlfriend and plan on marrying her and the idea of losing the special exclusive connection we have terrifies me.
我是天主教信徒,發妻已過世多年,後來認識一位基督教信徒的朋友,雙方在政府機關註冊結婚,生活在一起,一直未獲婚配,後來二人相處不好,我的伴侶要求在法律上離婚,請問我在法律上離婚後是否可以再結婚,謝謝神父指引我如何去處理。
Is it fine to attend Sunday mass online because of my heavy work schedule? Have I sinned to do so? I attend mass recorded from my church. The day has only 12 hours,I try to replenish sleep, and play with my cats and go out with my husband who really wants to do outdoor activities with me. I am exhausted ! My mom said if I love god so much I should go to church. So I did for a few weeks and now I don’t look forward to Sun anymore, please help Fr Francis. Sincerely.
神父你好,我有位很好的朋友,是在主日學服務時認識的。她全心全意為堂區服務,亦是一位待洗者,但這情況往往令她在靈性上有著矛盾。 她經歷了二次婚姻,第二次婚姻後才上慕道班。她現任丈夫也是第二次結婚,也是天主教徒。我朋友要領洗時才知道丈夫的前妻,原來是嬰兒時已領洗,也是天主教徒。因此,我朋友就未能領洗。 這事令她進退兩難,在主日學服務全心投入,但常常會有放棄服務的念頭,甚至有念頭放棄信仰。作為主內的好姊妹,我也同樣難受,我可以怎樣幫助? 謝謝神父🙏🏻
Hi Fr Francis, I recently heard that if we attend midnight mass on Dec 24th, we do not need to attend Christmas Day mass on December 25 to fulfill “Christmas obligation”. This year is different as Christmas day is a Sunday. We need to go to mass on Christmas Day to our Sunday mass “duty”. But if neither Christmas eve nor Christmas Day falls on Sunday, we only need to attend either midnight mass or Christmas Day mass. Is this correct. What about Easter Vigil and Easter Day masses?
