天主是愛,所以祂愛所有受造物,照咁講天主也愛魔鬼。 如果説我們想效仿天主,那麼從這個意義上我們應該愛魔鬼嗎?當然愛魔鬼並不等於聽從牠,而是去帶牠去「正確」的路。 而聖經裡只講讓我們愛人,遠離魔鬼。St Michael the archangle prayer裡面説把魔鬼打入地獄。如果愛魔鬼的話不是應該祈禱牠改過嗎?多謝!
I keep hearing Catholics say “to offer up your suffering”, or “uniting your suffering with Jesus on the cross”. Would you talk about what that means, and why you would do that? How can I learn more about it?
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?
程神父, 你好。 我一直都想著這個問題,因為我自己是一個愛護動物者,而我自己本身亦有兩隻狗狗。 我一路都想,天主創造這世界,除了愛我們,愛人類,但祂亦愛世界上所有的生物/生命,對嗎? 因為很多年之前有一天,我問一位神父,我問他,天主愛不愛寵物呢? 他的答案是,天主只會愛人類。 因為我跟這位神父說, 我當我的狗狗是自己兒女一般, 但他回答,“你應該生兒育女,因為天主只愛人類,狗狗不是人類”。 但是我曾經見過某些天主教教堂都會為寵物洗禮, 所以我真的很不明白, 天主除了愛人類,但我亦深信天主也愛世界上所有生命,凡有生命的,天主都愛,對嗎? 神父,會為寵物洗禮嗎?
What are the various Catholic churches with names like Maronite, Coptic and Slovak Catholic Church. In the Nicene Creed,”I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church”, so are churches just like CMCC serving the ethnic groups? Are these churches legit for Roman Catholics? How about Eastern and Orthodox?
Should we kneel at the consecration? In my parish we no longer kneel which personally I feel is wrong but I speak to deaf ears I continue to walk my own path and feel very upset.
