Dear Fr. Francis, How are you ? I am one of your followers and attend your daily mass everyday. However, I unable to find your May, 2022 daily masses posted in your website. Not sure if anything changed. Please check and let me know. Thank you in advance, Father God Bless.
我有一位教友長輩(約60多歲), 她的兒子帶女友回家同居,這位長輩的媽媽(約80多歲),看不下去, 便責怪她沒有把兒子教好。她夾在中間不知所措。 她為此找了一些神父辦修和聖事.大部分的神父都指出要勸兒子改過,使她又陷入困擾中。最後有位神父說:現在的大環境是這樣,別在意.那位長輩終於如釋重負的解脫了。 請教程神父,真的是這樣嗎?
If wine is truly transformed to Blood during Eucharist, why would “someone cannot consume wine because of health reasons” become one of the problems when receiving the sacrament? Doesn’t transformed wine become non-wine oriented?
On the days of fasting such as Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, Catholics aged 18-59 in Canada are bound to fast; those 14 and older just abstinence. My mom is over 60 so she does not have to fast, but does she still need to abstain from meat?
因為疫情嚴重影響實體彌撒舉行;某天早上往一聖堂領受耶穌聖體,神父送出2片聖體,心理未完全有準備下,接受了!翌日,同一事件也發生,但神父事前講清楚話因為明天起不能實領聖體了,所以會給教友們多一片! 請程神父指示在禮儀或者神學層面上,會否有不妥之處?謝謝您,主佑。
My step-brother believes in the Catholic Church, but he ended up baptized as a Christian. Now goes to both Christian worship and Mass in Catholic Church weekly and has been receiving the communion. I explained to him that this is not ok. However, he told me that 吳新豪神父in Taiwan told him it is ok for him. Now what shall I respond?
程神父你好。雖然我不是教友,但我很有興趣認識天主教的觀點。想請問神父, 基督新教經常強調 「你們和不信的原不相配,不要同負一軛」(2 Corinthians 6:14), 以此作為新教信徒不應與未信奉基督信仰的人結婚的理據,甚至引申至交往層面, 認為新教信徒不可以與未信者交往。請問天主教對這段經文有怎樣的見解?謝謝神父!
程神父你好。我即將領受堅振聖事,我們的要理老師說要我們取多一個聖名(最好不要用領洗的聖名)。請問我們真的要在堅振聖事換了我們的聖名嗎?因為我領洗的聖名對我和我家人都有很大的意義,我父母也不希望(也沒聽說過)要取多一個聖名。
Can a catholic baptise a non-catholic who is dying and unable to express his wishes concerning baptism?
神父:我中學領洗,後來出來社會工作已經二十多年,好長時間都沒有去聖堂,後來重遇一位小時候的神父,我覺得天主在叫我重回祂的懷抱,上網才看到原來天主教不容許再婚,第一段婚姻是對方出軌有第三者,而且和別人生了小孩,是她提出離婚的。第二段婚姻,剛註冊兩個月就因小事提出離婚,每次吵架都說離婚,結婚幾個月已經多次提出離婚,現正辦離婚手續,我該如何面處理才對?要勉強保持這婚姻嗎?第一段婚姻沒有在教堂行婚禮也是需要申請無效嗎?
