神父好。在今天(12/18/2024)的平日彌撒中,越南裔的神父(我們的本堂)用中文主祭彌撒。禮儀中不斷出現語言上的誤差⋯⋯除了匆匆忙忙準備舉揚聖體的禮儀外,「讚美」「餅」「酒」都理不清,重新再「表述」。我因為分心無法回答「望天主從你手中收納…」,也因此想不領受聖體了⋯⋯雖然最終還是領受了,但一直覺得是不是自己不對,自以為是去做判斷神父的對錯。我這樣的行為是不是得罪天主了?請神父幫助我!感謝天主!
A priest said having a lot of faith means doing a lot of volunteer work and give money to the church. I always thought faith is about living up the Word and allow the Word to lead our conscience, conduct, and to shape us as a person. But this priest said having faith got nothing to do with it.
Why do Catholics pray to Mary and the saints when in the Ten Commandments it says, “Thou shall have no other gods before me”? Isn’t praying to them idolatry? And same thing with the craved images of Mary and the saints, “Thou shall not make unto thee graven images”
Can you recommend some books that can help “decode” difficult Bible Scriptures? I sometimes find it difficult to understand the meaning of the Bible Scriptures, such as the passage about division in Luke 12:49-53.
神父,某大國際機構的創辦人利用他多年來公司股票升值多倍而設立一個慈善基金作很多嚴重缺乏道德的工作,例如提倡LGBT、Planned Parenthood 等等。其主要目的是de-population. 請問我還可使用他公司的產品和買賣它的股票嗎? 因他的公司是行業龍頭,我們根本冇可能唔用佢啲產品。
Jesus never told us to pray to Mary. Jesus is the great intercessor and we prayed to him as the great intercessor to reach God. Nowhere in the Bible it says to pray to Mary. If it’s not in the Bible and we should not believe it. You can hope and pray to the Saints and Mary is more powerful but that’s just my belief that is not biblical.
Is it a sin for someone to forgo treatment for cancer, if statistically, the chances of survival with treatment is extremely low and the patient does not want to go through the pain of ineffective chemo? If someone raises this idea to a loved one to consider, would that be a sin?
Hi, we pray in Jesus name as the intercessors while alive here and praying for our brothers and sisters. Not asking Mary or ANY other saints in heaven. the person who prays for us us always say in JESUS NAME . Jesus is the truth the way and the life NO ONE goes to the FATHER except THRU him . Is Mary saying in Jesus name ? We won’t hear that ever from her now any dead saint from the bible . So this is why the question said only what is stated from the bible Catholics is adding their own teachings.
As a Catholic teenager living in the UK, June is ‘Pride month’ for the LGBT community, how should we see it as Catholics and how to have a conversation with LGBTQ+ people as me and my Catholic friends are having an online debate with some LGBT atheist. Also how should we view Christians from other denominations that celebrate pride and goes to pride parade as well as Catholics that are LGBT? God bless.
Question about gay marriage. I don’t think Pope Francis accept(s) that but his message is that we must accept them as children of God. Is gay marriage a big sin but can be forgiven? Biden claims to be devout Christian but based on the fact that he is ok with abortion do you think that is acceptable? I am confused. I only think that abortion is allowed only in case of sexual abuse and incest victims. Please give me your opinion.
If I was Catholic before, but left the church, what do I do to become catholic again? I went every Sunday with my family, baptized as an infant, had my First Communion, Confirmation, but not my wedding. My husband was a Baptist, so we were married in a Baptist Church. Ten years later, I want to raise my family in a Catholic Church, as does he. What do I do?
With the protests, riots and violence in HK and the US, it’s a challenge for me to let go and stay peaceful. My children have different opinions and one doesn’t communicate with the rest of the family. She’s a heart of a Stone: The US way of upbringing, my limitations have driven us apart. Having a harmonious relationship and communication become impossible. How can I let go and find INNER PEACE?
