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。

In the Bible, it says “ Everything happens by the will of God. We don’t need luck because as Christians, we have the maker and upholder of all things in the universe watching over us and living inside of us!” (Jeremiah 29:11) I am Chinese and luck and fortune is a big thing in my culture. I’m just conflicted on what to believe.

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?

In the Summa Theologiae, Tertia Pars, Question 83, Article 5, Objection 3; Aquinas ascribes the sign of the cross to events of the Passion when the priest says certain lines in the Roman Canon.

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.

What should we do if we suspect a priest or a Catholic Church is under influence of evil attack or occult or witchcraft who often find target at priests and churches?

Holy communion received from priests less holy at heart or do not fully practice Catholic teaching would be less recommended?
Mother Mary is Immaculate of original sin when she was conceived in St. Anne. I believe God can make anything happen. But why then God must choose a free of original sin’s lady to be Jesus’ mother? Why did God not make the same or similar miracle happen with Jesus’ conception inside Mary?
It is still Advent season, and I heard a choir singing a Christmas Carol during communion at mass. Should Christmas Carols be sung at mass during Advent?
