Some ladies wear a veil to mass but most don’t. Some wear black and some wear white. What is the meaning of the veil?
Due to location factor, as a Catholic, can I attend a Protestant Church to fulfill the obligation of worshipping on Sunday if there is no any Catholic Churches nearby? Can I receive Holy Communion in the Protestant Church since their theological view and belief on Communion is different from ours?
程神父您好。我大概每個月會見神師一次,我的神師並不是我的本堂。每次見神師大概是1小時左右,最後會辦告解。想請教如果在與神師定期會面以外的時候,想辦告解,是不是一定或最好找神師辦告解?還是其他神父也可以?然後下次見神師時再交待最近靈魂的情況?我有定期辦告解的習慣,但感覺每次辦告解來來去去都是告那些罪,找同一個神父好像特別尷尬⋯
Do Catholics have the obligation to go to Stations of the Cross every Friday during Lent? What if some Fridays were skipped?
Do Catholics have to get married in the Church? What if it is at the beach and the Priest officiates the wedding?
Can we receive Eucharist when we obtain absolution from a priest in confession but HAVE NOT completed all the required penances? Are we still in a state of mortal sin?
什麼時候在彌撒中可唱諸聖禱文?可否在平常堂區主日彌撒中領聖體時唱諸聖禱文作為領主詠呢?謝謝! When should the Litany of the Saints be sung during Mass? Can the Litany of the Saints be sung as a Communion hymn during Communion at a usual parish Sunday Mass? Thanks!
A practising Catholic will be marrying a non-practicing Catholic (who may not believe in God anymore) in the Catholic Church. Can they have a Nuptial Mass with the non-practicing Catholic not receiving Communion? Since sacraments should be received in a state of grace, and the non-practicing one obviously is not in such a state, what does it mean for the non-practicing one to receive the sacrament in that state? Will the non-practicing Catholic still receive the grace of Matrimony?
程神父,剛過去的世青節,都有些疑似褻瀆聖體的事件或跟禮規有些違背的事件在社交平台發出了。例如開幕彌撒全都只找平信徒負責分送聖體,這麼多的神父卻做什麼呢?小弟如沒記錯,禮規說明分送聖體首先是司鐸,當真的不夠司鐸,信眾太多,才可找平送徒(送聖體員)協助。可是,在世青開幕彌撒,看不到有什麼原因只安排平信徒分送聖體。其次,只是用一些收納箱存放聖體,有點不敬的感覺。其實,世青或亞青,我想應該是趁這機會,聚集不同的青年人一起,更新信仰,從而發揮鹽光的作用。可是,如果當中卻出現了這些疑似不敬的問題,我們可怎樣正確活出信仰呢?當我們強調聖體聖事真的是耶穌的身體時,但都出現這些不敬的安排時,叫青年人怎去相信耶穌聖體呢?
