What should I do with the ash (cross) that the priest marked on my forehead during the Ash Wednesday? Wash it away with water, clean it with facial tissue and throw it away or leave the ash until it goes away gradually.
I have the inspiration to become a priest. How do I become a priest / what is the pathway to become a priest? I am in high school. In multiple occasions, it seems there are callings for me to pursue the role of a priest, and I do desire to serve the Lord and others. Is it possible to share how I, or anyone who also experiences the same epiphany, can to become a priest?
What do you think of the trend of “mindfulness meditation”? Is it spiritually dangerous for a Catholic to practise such methods, like a “new age”/ Buddhism / yoga?
In the past two months, many unfortunate things happened to me. To name a few, my mom had an accident and she is in coma, my friend passed away, my neighbor damaged my washroom ceiling, and I developed some health problems. Is God sending me a message? What should I do?
請問程神父:憂慮(worry, anxiety)是罪嗎? 我指的並非精神病引起的憂慮,而是人們普遍性對未知事情/不如意事情的憂慮反應。 (耶穌在瑪6:30-31,把憂慮吃喝穿的人,形容為「信德薄弱的人」。那麼,憂慮世俗=小信德=罪?) 謝謝神父解憂。
God is sufficient yet humans are imperfect. Why do we need to build relations with our community as these relations can turn ugly or discouraging? A saint once said: Life in community is my greatest penance.
程神父你好。想問一下,從聖物部買回來的聖物是否必需要「祝聖」?不「祝聖」可以嗎?另外,因為香港地少人多,曾經問過資深教友,受「祝聖」過的聖物,該如何處理,他們都說,獨立放在黑色垃圾袋內,放在垃圾站內。(因為,香港的垃圾處理方法,就是埋在堆填區)。還有聖枝節時,舊的聖枝,當時,我們沒有使用教友所說的方法,反而,梵燒成灰後,便放在花盆裏,與泥土摻在一起,這種處理方法可以嗎?
神父你好, 我朋友是一個非教友(無宗教信仰者), 他經歷親友勞碌一生, 正準備退休享兒孫樂之時, 卻突然因急病過身, 他對死亡充滿疑問, 請問神父在教會的角度上, 人生拼博幾十年, 最後肉身都會死亡, 死亡是一件什麼事? 既然死亡是必然的, 還應為生活勞碌拼博嗎? 謝謝!
I know that the Church is against abortion. However, what if the child inside you will have a suffering life because of his disabilities? Won’t the mom and the child be better-off with an abortion?
Please can you help me discern my place in the body of Christ? Some advise that I should do whatever comes along or wherever the greatest need is, others advise to take my time to find the one which I feel called.
日前教宗提及的Civil Union Law 是何意思?他的用意?可略加闡釋嗎?(我感到非常疑惑又不想對他有誤解)我明白他向來想接納所有人入教會內,但這樣提出,會不會令人覺得天主教教會認同同性戀並值得推廣?
神父: 我個人從小到大都很喜歡企鵝,最近看到關於全球暖化的文章,讓我對他們的處境深感憂心, 所以念慈悲串經的意象有替南極企鵝的延續祈禱,請問替動物祈禱妥當嗎?可否替環境生態獻彌撒?聖經有哪些段落可以支持環保?
