In John’s Gospel today, he mentioned that “…Jesus healed many who were sick with various diseases …” Why did not Jesus cure everyone there together, vs individually? I truly believe Jesus has that power in curing everyone at once. This passage, however, leads me to “see” that Jesus were tired or worn out after curing all these people “individually” – one-by-one. Am I misreading the Word of God somewhere? Your kind guidance is very much needed. Thank you Fr. Francis. God Bless you Fr.

聖經 Bible

Mark 1:34: And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. The gospel passage is not from John, but from Mark, as quoted above. First of all, nowhere in that text...
我們身處的國家，現正封城，聖堂關閉，只能參加網上彌撒，因此已經有一段時間沒有辦修和聖事了，這情況應如何是好? 有勞神父為我解答，謝謝神父!

各地封城的情况都不同，所以我們只能按可做的而盡力。 若聖堂雖沒有公開告解時間，那通常也會有其他辦告解的安排。即使沒有登出來，若是問到神父，他們普遍都能找到辦法去聽告解的，所以，不妨至電神父問問。 至少，我知道，在加拿大這裏，即使在疫症封鎖最嚴謹時，即使是在醫院疫症封鎖區，神父都可進去傅油聽告解。但在長期護老院，卻只可以在臨終時才可以。不過，不少神父卻在整個時期無間斷地上門傅油，在戶外聽告解，等等。我自己都做了不少。...
如神父聽過 Silence 這部去年的 film 有關 Jesuit神父在日本傳教的事蹟，請問在這威迫情况下，那兩位神父應不應背教呢？這 topic causes quite a controversy and discussion.

有關這套電影，我是不會評論的。但有關你的問題，我有以下的分辨： 在教理，在真理而言，叛教一定是錯的，無論逼迫者的手段如何，都不能開脫叛教的理由。原因很簡單：我們生與死，是全屬於基督的，所以為義而死，是進入生命。所以看着逼迫者，借用自己的原故去逼迫其他人，最壞都是喪失生命，但這喪失是進入永生的。...

For the first question, I am sorry, I will need more information regarding what rumours we are talking about for me to give an answer. For the second part, Christian doctors are not to participate in abortion, gender change or euthanasia procedures. Doing so would be...
默觀和默想都是與天主保持關係的方法，其中聖人們更能出現神魂超拔，神視等情況。請問默觀和默想會否只是一種自我催眠的狀態，滿足渴求內心與主相遇的盼望？這些情況能有科學根據或者論證支持嗎？每天唸聖母經的預期效果也是上述自我催眠情況嗎？

你說的神魂超拔及神視不可與默想和默觀混為一談。 先要澄清默想和默觀是甚麼。 默想是我們拿一篇聖言，或一個奧蹟，或一些靈修文章去祈禱，在慢慢閱讀中自己嘗試幻想進入去同一件事或當中涉及的景遇中，從而豐富對所考慮的題目的瞭解，聆聽天主從中要啟示的意思，並將單純在知識層面的資訊，藉着與主在默想中的互動，賦予情感上和關係上的層面。...
