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.
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?
I committed a grave sin and I believe it was God who sent a message that his doors are locked to me. The message was given through an acquaintance who out of the blue told me about his ‘‘brother’’s sin which not only was identical to mine but included details about me that no one knows. Finished by telling me that I should be ‘proud’ of all the good things I had done for they could not be covered with one hand (obviously all the sins) Is there any hope I can still be saved?
請問程神父,在聽到基督教抨擊天主教時該如何反應或作為呢?實際的例子是基督教牧師說天主教中南美洲有著很多大肆慶祝類似台灣媽祖遶境那樣的慶典,那樣的方式都脫離了聖經的原意,也更近似於精靈崇拜等等。因為在美國住的地方沒有中文天主教堂,因而都和先生在基督教,之前都覺得還好,直到最近聽到這樣的言論覺得很不舒服,但又不知道該如何解釋。謝謝程神父。
I’m mother of two wonderful ten years old sons. Their father has left us eight years ago. At what age should a parent teach their son about ‘sex education’ if there is no father around or would it be better for the child to have a male family member to do this?
I am going through a period of bad lust and going further away from God, and my desire to become a Priest becomes less and less. I am 17 years old and I have been dating a girl for a while now. We are falling into deep lust now. We are both practicing Catholics, but because of this I feel like we are falling away from the faith. I think I have lost my virginity, but I don’t want to go deep into that. My question is, how can we overcome this and come back to the faith Hollier.
Can a catholic baptise a non-catholic who is dying and unable to express his wishes concerning baptism?
Where in the Bible does it tell us it’s ok to pray to dead saints or the dead mother of Jesus? I only see where we can pray to God through Jesus and nobody else.
