I keep hearing Catholics say “to offer up your suffering”, or “uniting your suffering with Jesus on the cross”. Would you talk about what that means, and why you would do that? How can I learn more about it?
An atheist approached me and asked : “Why does God, who is so good, allow suffering? If God is all-powerful, why does He allow evil to exist and does not defeat Satan in the first place? “. How should I answer?
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?
我是一位新教友,一向對於教友間的神視或經歷等都抱以不防一聽的態度,但從未認真看待!不過最近我自己卻接收到一個訊息,大意是「天主不會讓任何人破壞祂的神聖教會」。我現在不知應否告訢本堂的神父,因為我自己也不知道應怎樣辦,怕別人以為我是嘩眾取寵。如果沉默不告訴其他人這訊息,天主會不喜歡嗎?
教徒,都在神蔭庇下得到安慰。我一向自以為用正氣勇往直前,面對疾苦困厄也能樂觀面對。但如今病毒橫行,生靈塗炭。令我既悲且慨,無語問蒼天:天地不仁,以萬物為芻狗。上主怎可以如此考驗(懲罰)人類呢?怎樣由祂取得正能量?
