請問我該如何處理不再使用的念珠呢？我看到有焚燒、掩埋和捐贈出去這三種方法，但是在我的情況下，這三種方法都不可行。請問我可以妥善包裹後，直接丟棄嗎？這樣做是否冒犯天主，我又是否需要辦告解呢？
Why St. Paul said “…that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil..” I thought only God has power over death and life. The devil does not and cannot rule or govern human lives?
With a toddler and a baby, I find our family missing mass quite a bit during the winter cold and flu season as sickness rotates throughout each of us! Is missing mass due to a child’s sickness (or even our own) considered a sin that will require confession each time before receiving communion?
Is Judas in Heaven or in hell? What if he did repent after he placed the rope on his neck but could not have physically affording to get off the rope. Did the Church, or Her prophets and saints, ever discussed about Judas’ final fate?

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?

程神父您好，想請教瓜達盧佩聖母像的問題：聖母腳下是踏著月亮，這下面有一（我估是天使因為有翅膀）天使，是天使在承托聖母升天呢？還是聖母在帶領天使升天呢？
How can I concentrate when I pray, even though every time I reminded myself have to concentrate, don’t think of others stuff but always fail, even I’m attending a Mass, can’t 100% concentrate on all the readings or during sermon. Does it means i don’t have faith or not enough?

Dear Fr. Francis, How can I better understand “Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ (Mt 5:37)? I’m a bit confused as Jesus had tried to conceal his ID as the Messiah & sometimes asked those who received His healing not to spread the news publicly which seems to contradict this teaching to tell the truth. How should I apply it to my daily life? Should I not take Mt 5:37 literally and need to be flexible if saying the truth might hinder God’s work in certain circumstances? Thank you.
