程神父你好,想知道如何幫配偶或父母選擇醫療服務的時候,不會做錯決定犯了十誡中的殺人罪。記得和母親入護理院時,他們的服務分為四級。 第一級:當心臟和呼吸停止時無需急救,不服用抗生素,不轉送醫院。 第二級:當心臟和呼吸停止時無需急救,不轉送醫院,骨折皮膚外傷除外,必須時服用抗生素。 第三級:當心臟和呼吸停止時無需急救,會轉送醫院,會給服用抗生素。 第四級:當心臟和呼吸停止時會進行急救轉送醫院。 請問該如何選擇。

How can I ask for forgiveness from my deceased mother, because I gave her a lot of troubles and back answered her answered her back all the time. I regretted it totally and I asked God everytime for forgiveness every time. What can I do more to fully make her fully understand and repent as I feel guilty and drained for all what that I did to her.? What penance or what should I do to tell her I love her and I am sorry for all what that I did to her.? She was for me but, to my poor understanding, I didn’t recognize it at that time. Help me father.
A practising Catholic will be marrying a non-practicing Catholic (who may not believe in God anymore) in the Catholic Church. Can they have a Nuptial Mass with the non-practicing Catholic not receiving Communion? Since sacraments should be received in a state of grace, and the non-practicing one obviously is not in such a state, what does it mean for the non-practicing one to receive the sacrament in that state? Will the non-practicing Catholic still receive the grace of Matrimony?

神父你好,我是位天主教徒,雖然我不算是很虔誠,但時常覺得要守誡命。我從小在完整家庭長大,可是父母感情不好,常常在我面前吵架、冷戰,令我對感情關係沒信心,很怕被男人有目的地接近然後拋棄。身邊都不少追求者,也有自己心儀的,但感覺他們常常測試我的底線,我還是堅守誡命,但對他們很失望,也令我懷疑自己是否太守舊,堅拒婚前性行為,還覺得是件很髒的事。既然我從小在表面完整但內裏破碎的家庭長大,內心已經充滿傷口、為什麼天主還要我經歷多次不成功的關係,令我再次受傷?神父求你幫幫我。

God has given us all freedom to make decisions, to live our lives. Yet, we always said “God has a plan for each of us”. What if, for example, if God has a plan for me to be a mother and yet, I choose not to have any children. So how does God’s plan work on me? Is there a contradiction here? If not, how are they related to each other then?
