In the past two months, many unfortunate things happened to me. To name a few, my mom had an accident and she is in coma, my friend passed away, my neighbor damaged my washroom ceiling, and I developed some health problems. Is God sending me a message? What should I do?
I was recently told by a Catholic friend that we shouldn’t receive holy communion by hand, and should only receive directly on our tongue. Reasons being only priests’ hands are consecrated, if we receive by hand, traces of small particles of Jesus’ body will be on our hands. Moreover, the likelihood of dropping the bread is higher if we receive it by hands. Could you share what is the Catholic history and teaching on this? Are there certain groups of Catholics who were taught differently?
Can you please let know why this happen again to a Roman Catholic Bishop 紅衣主教 — 被控50年前性侵少年 ? How do we know a priest / Bishop we can trust?
Does all Apostles have the power to baptize Holy Spirit or only Peter and John? In ACTs chapter 8 verse 12, it said Philip as he preached the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, men and women were baptized… Then at the same Chapter 8 verse 15… Peter and John, who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, for it had not yet fallen upon any of them?
聽說我們在聖若瑟年每天都能為煉靈求大赦,希望程神父能拍一個video清晰地解釋一下如何gain a special plenary indulgence in the Year of St. Joseph。是否每天只能為一個煉靈祈求?或每天可為多個煉靈祈求?是否只需每天按教宗意願祈禱唸天主經、聖母經及光榮頌,然後每月辦告解一次及領聖體便可?謝謝神父的解答和教導。
This was given by 2 priests under 2 occasions. 1. Church celebrates St John’s birthday in addition to his death because of his free of original sins when father tried to explain why only 2 saints, including Mother Mary, were celebrating birthdays. 2. Jesus visited St John before his death in person since John was martyred before Christ. Your kind clarifications are most needed. God Bless.
After the priest blessed the Eucharist, some people would stand up, while others would prefer to continue to kneel. Which way is correct?
I know that the Church is against abortion. However, what if the child inside you will have a suffering life because of his disabilities? Won’t the mom and the child be better-off with an abortion?
程神父: 有關大聖若瑟奉獻, 麻煩請解釋以下, 不明白為什麼( 他的善表將所有後代帶到那裏,然後更是我們的榜樣) , 是否古時雅名伯 沒有去埃及祝賀兒子若瑟?這是從生命恩泉綱頁找到的。 吁,榮耀的聖祖,如果古時雅各伯親自去祝賀他最愛及被尊為埃及王侯的兒子若瑟,他的善表將他所有的後代帶到那裡,那麽,最尊敬及信任你的耶穌和瑪利亞,更是我們的榜樣,致力把我們,你虔敬的僕人,帶到你面前,以 這珍貴的聖袍來恭敬你。 程神父: 請問做九日敬禮時,聖袍完結禱文是否需要每日唸? 每天將 綱頁上的大聖若瑟禱文全部唸一次, 就是這樣嗎? 謝謝你。
離婚者領洗 我在7年前已離婚,現在是慕道者,將接受領洗。但是要向主區申請,因為曾經離婚,但我離婚之後再沒再婚,只是同居,那麼我還要向主區申請嗎? 我其實已經收到主區寄給我的表格申請,我英文好差,找人代看,但是表格是給離婚者想再婚,還要給予1000$手續費。 我實在非常混亂。只想早日能夠領洗。 慕道班那邊神父又不太清楚我的問題。
Is Opus Dei legit? Someone commented it as a church within the church. Some calls it a cult. Is it ok to join? What is the church standpoint?
程神父安好,祝願神父手術成功,早日康復!天主保佑! 今天(星期六April 24)若望福音中有一句話唔明,請神父指導:『除非蒙父恩賜的,誰也不能到我這裏來。』十二門徒是耶穌所親選的,我的理解應都是天父所恩賜的,是嗎?如果不是,那猶達斯怎會是被選中呢?我接受耶穌給與每個人——包括罪人——機會,但以上的句子又好像是有些矛盾。請神父開解!主佑!
I often thought Holy Spirit is always upper case H and S, until when I read NEW AMERICAN BIBLE (NAB), and it is written as “holy Spirit”. Example would be “and the holy Spirit was upon him” (Lk 2:25). Would you please explain?
