神父好!我跟男友交往踏入第四年,早前我們都有一起住,神父,請問我應該如何平衡天主與自己和男友與自己的關係?請問是否真的一次性行為也不能進行?請問還是我該考慮修道生活?但我又很清楚自己會不捨得男朋友。希望神父能解答我,謝謝! 又經常發生性行為。但早前我辦告解時,跟神父就說明了此罪過,他很嚴厲地告知我原來性行為後不能領聖體因為是褻瀆。於是我便開始通知男朋友我之後都不在他家過夜,且不再跟他性行為。 有一次,我抵抗不住誘惑,又跟他發生了,但當時我心是不想的。事後,我立即哭了,當刻我男友亦知道了我的心意,我真的不想再發生關係了。 經過以上的事並隨着我歸化主後,我跟男友的價值觀有明顯的分別,最近亦為這些事而吵架,他雖會尊重但亦會因不能性行為而傷心,我看見他這樣傷心都很心痛。
Dear Fr. Francis, at the wedding in Cana when Mama Mary told Jesus that there was no more wine, did Mama Mary want Jesus to do a miracle? What was Mama Mary\’s intention at that moment? I am now studying John’s Gospel with a renowned Christian Bible study fellowship and I was told that Mama Mary, like other disciples, wanted Jesus to reveal His identity. I have never given a deep thought on that. Did it also take time for Mama Mary to grow her faith and have deeper understanding of Jesus?
I have been bothered by the church’s position on the molestation of young children by priests/clergy. Why does the church hide the crime/sins committed by priests/clergy at the expense of the victims?
程神父,我父母和我老爺奶奶做了傷害我嘅事, 我對父母及夫家有一種不能放下的惱恨。因為這樣,我有參與彌撒但卻沒有領聖體,感覺自己在大罪之中。縱然知道這份惱恨對自己不好,但卻很軟弱,走不出來。連領聖體也不能,心裏覺得連唯一的救援也沒有了。明白單靠自己是沒法從惱恨中走出來,我卻連面對天主的能力也沒有,祂一定要我放下惱恨,可是我做不到,而且暫時也不願意做,我能懷着這樣的心態去向祂祈禱嗎?我若未能放下惱恨, 能辦修和,求寬恕嗎, 然後領聖體嗎?
I have signed up to help teach Sunday School for kids aged 10-12, Pre-Confirmation class. Are there any structured and engaging curriculum out there I can refer to? Also, I would like to teach the kids and myself to pray, using poems / books / news … any websites / books I could study to get more prepared? I am in HK and the Chinese materials I found at bookstore are indeed not very engaging and believe the teens nowadays look for something more interesting and relevant to life
程神父你好!請問拜偶像的定義是什麼?喜歡某些歌手/ 演員可以嗎?收藏模型車/玩具車可以嗎?收藏籃球員和歌手的figure可以嗎?玩和把毛公仔放在家裏可以嗎?是不是只需不要有崇拜的心就可以?而怎樣才是拜偶像呢,可否以日常生活舉例?望神父抽空解答!
有一次我想邀請非教友的朋友參加慕道班,她說我們天主教主張「無名基督徒」,只要人行善,力行愛德,就算冇宗教信仰都可以升天堂,所以不用參加慕道班,也不用領洗入教。 坦白說,我對「無名基督徒」這名稱教會的取態有點不肯定,教會是接受還是不接受呢? 如果是接受,我應該怎樣說服我朋友參加慕道班,然後領洗入教?如果不接受,會和她分享。我也想趁這次機會補習一下。 謝謝!主佑!
我今天望彌撒的時候,坐在身旁的小女兒忽然向我輕呼:「神父帶結婚戒指呀!神父不是不可以結婚嗎?」定睛一看,見到神父左手無名指的確帶上一隻銀色的戒指,好像結婚戒指一樣大小。我見過主教帶一隻很粗的金色戒指主持彌撒,卻沒有留意神父也戴戒指。請問為什麼神父要帶戒指,代表什麼意思?好像不是所有神父都帶戒指。請問幾時神父需要帶戒指?
