How should we respond to an atheist young people if they were told at school that we humans only made of particles and there is no soul as such? For them, it is OK to end our lives when we suffer as death will bring an end to all suffering.
程神父,我看到「都靈聖殮布」嘅視頻,講述耶穌背十字架,只是背一條橫木,不是一個整個的十字型的木,同時,也不是放在肩上,而是一塊綁在兩隻手的橫木,所以在聖殮布上面,看到耶穌的背有很多傷痕。但是我們一般看見所有耶穌苦難嘅畫像或雕塑,都是用肩背著十字型的木架。請問哪一個是真正耶穌背十字架的情況呢?
神父,您好!想問的是性別認同或變性的問題。首先,我的理解教會是不接受變性的。因此,當你自己不喜歡自己是男/女,教會都不接受當事人去用手術改變,那怎去牧養他/她們呢?有時我們會話我們應該以真實的自己去敬拜、懇求主耶穌,那麼,我天生真的不喜歡自己本來的性別,那我應怎去渡聖善的生活?
How should or can I handle church weekly printed bulletins if I wish to dispose them? May I recycle them just as any paper products? If so, should I be shredding them before disposing? Or, should I bring them to any public places and leave them there, such as libraries, whenever possible and permissible?
天主教徒在什麼情況下才會被開除教籍?什麼是自科絕罰? 天主教徒能否改教?如果不能,梵二文獻提到的信仰自由宣言不就矛盾了嗎?若能,那不是在背教嗎?不就是在拒絕天主的救恩,否認耶穌是人類得救的道路真理以及生命的唯一途徑嗎?
A Protestant friend of mine said that since his parents were not Christians when they passed away, they might be in hell. He said if they are in hell, he would like to go to hell in future to be with them forever. What should I tell him?
I was invited to my friend’s baptismal celebration at an Anglican Church in Hong Kong (St. John’s Cathedral). Is it a mass? Can I receive the Holy Communion?
有神師曾經問我有甚麼夢想或期望,但是我答不出,因為我覺得期望是帶有私心的想法,他糾正我這個思想,認為我被過去的不幸和不好的習慣綑綁了自己。其實我對一切都有很多期望,只是因為自己多年來有太多的失望(從小到成人都都經常被欺負和責罵甚至被欺騙,現在健康不好,也仍然找不到工作),覺得希望成真只是奢侈,失望和痛苦才是理所當然。如果這想法是有問題的話,請神父你幫我糾正一下。
About the messages of Our Lady of Fatima, I think the request that She asked Russia to be Consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart only be done partially, yes, several Popes (current Pope included) made the Consecration. But Russia has not completely converted yet, because Russia is Orthodox country now, while she indeed returned to Orthodox after Soviet atheism, I believe what Our Lady spoke in Fatima is that Russia will be Catholic if Her request completely be done. Father, what is your opinion?
Is there a chance to know if our loved ones are in purgatory or in heaven? How can one enter heaven directly? How long will they stay in purgatory? My 14-year-old brother and my parents had passed away. I am asking the question for them. They were good Christians with immense faith but they were also sinners in front of God. Thanks father.
神父您好,虛心請教了。請問哲學上怎麼證明天主是不是物質,而不受時間,空間的影響,聽說過一個道理,物質,空間,時間是3而1的,而物質,空間,時間是天主創造的,所以天主不是物質,不受時間,空間的影響,那天主不可以是無限的物質,佔據無限的空間,無限的時間,而創造了萬物嗎?謝謝期待你的回覆,天主保佑你!
程神父您好,虛心請教了。我是大陸的小賀。請問我可以透過哲學道理去推論天主,然後擁有信德嗎?例如網路上有人說天主是全知的,那是不是預定了人下地獄,上天堂,有人回覆,天主是全知的,人是有限的吧,天主是無限的,人不能研究通天主,如果可以通過思想哲學道理,擁有信德,我該怎麼去思想?謝謝,祝你身體健康,天主降福!
神父,東南亞一帶很流行七月半鬼節,英文叫hungry ghost month。很多人會很害怕這個月,也有很多的禁忌,我害怕遇到鬼魂。民間相信這個月鬼門開,地獄的鬼魂會出來。其實我知道這只是華人傳統的文化,但有些教友還是會有這一方面的擔憂。有什麼話可以對教友說嗎?
My girl feels guilty in getting married in a Catholic Church as they may plan not to have children. This would forbidden them to a Catholic matrimony. Is it true?
