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?

When I find myself closed in by the misfortunes and sufferings around me, I usually find myself going through the following: I will first pray. Pray especially by telling God how scared, lost, or angry I am. Often I just sit there. I know the emotions will subside. I...
可以在坐廁時唸經嗎?會不會唔尊重天主/聖母?搭巴士用手機朝拜聖體,是不是不太尊重聖體?

可以在坐廁時唸經嗎?會不會唔尊重天主/聖母?搭巴士用手機朝拜聖體,是不是不太尊重聖體?

想想這一點:無論你在做甚麼,在何時何地,天主其實都臨在一切之中。所以只要你心誠意與主結合,在任何情况下祈禱都是美好的,亦不會因着你外在的情况而使之改變。也是這樣,保祿能說我們要不斷祈禱。 如坐厠,如嘔吐,或甚至更骯髒的事,你以為天主那時不都在你內嗎?這些都是祂創造的呢,但這些並不代表我們的內心。...
請問程神父:憂慮(worry, anxiety)是罪嗎? 我指的並非精神病引起的憂慮,而是人們普遍性對未知事情/不如意事情的憂慮反應。 (耶穌在瑪6:30-31,把憂慮吃喝穿的人,形容為「信德薄弱的人」。那麼,憂慮世俗=小信德=罪?) 謝謝神父解憂。

一件事要是罪,除了事情本身是錯或有損靈魂之外,當事人也需要知道是錯,和有能力去選擇做與不做。 因此,人不隨意的情緒反應不可能是罪,人無心之失做出的不可能是罪,人在有限自由下做出的也很可能不是罪,至少不可能是大罪。 但若我們其實知道是有點不妥的,即使那時不知道究竟,若不去亦不願尋找答案,那就說不通了,是入於有罪的無知。但若真的嘗試去問,但卻被該可信任的人誤導,那就算無知,不能算罪。...
