Wednesday of Week 17 Year 2

Some of us may have slacked in our faith or even gone astray at some point of our lives, due to various reasons. But even though we may have forgotten about God or church, God does not forget us. In fact, God is constantly calling out to us to come back to Him and walk

When we are given a choice to do good or to do bad, what would we choose? We may say that the answer is obvious, that is, we would choose to do good. But sometimes we have people who persistently choose to do bad, despite being given much opportunities to change. Ultimately, our choices could

圣弟茂德与圣弟鐸

我们当中有许多人自幼便领洗成为基督徒了。我们当中有些人在成年期成为基督徒。无论情况如何,我们是基督徒,身为基督徒的我们被耶稣委托,传扬祂的福音。这不单是个请求,是命令,是旨意,更是一个任务。该履行职责的我们不该害羞或胆怯,就如圣保禄在今天的读经当中提醒我们:“为了这个缘故,我提醒你把天主藉我的覆手所赋予你的恩赐,再炽燃起来,因为,天主所赐给我们的,并非怯懦之神,而是大能、爱德和慎重之神。所以,你不要以给我们的主作证为耻,也不要以我这为主被囚的人为耻,但要依赖天主的大能,为福音同我共受劳苦。” 我们该自问:我们是否对自己的生活感到舒适而让传扬福音的任务变得越来越不重要?我们是否一直被世俗影响,而忘了、忽略了或羞耻于为主作证?愿我们能再更新我们的热忱,让火焰再次炽燃起来,无惧无畏地与我们身边的每一个人分享主的福音,并记住我们最终的目的是以我们的生活来光荣天主。

We sometimes take for granted what God has done for us. We may have received many blessings and gifts from God, but how many of us are truly grateful or thankful to God for His providence? When times are good, some of us may even begin to think that all the blessings and gifts we

The world that we live in today is full of different kinds of noise and attractions. People are being enticed with pleasure, fame, recognition, wealth, and many other things. This causes some nations to experience a drop in vocation, as fewer people are answering God’s call to the priesthood or religious life. When so many

圣保罗宗徒归化日

Posted on Monday, January 25, 2016 by gubahan Posted in 保罗, 圣, 宗徒, 归化, 日 Leave a comment

每当我们遇到迫害基督徒的人,我们能做些什么?也许我们会不惜一切代价去避免这些人。又或许我们会祈求天主好让我们不受这些人的伤害,还有一些人会祈求上主让天主的光照进他们的心中好让他们的心可以改变停止迫害别人。 但有时天主会做出出乎我们期望的事。今天我们所庆祝的宗徒归化日,叙说撒乌耳从一个迫害基督徒的人转变成一个为耶稣基督捍卫的人,变成了今天我们所敬仰的圣保罗。但这样怀有信德的他曾经迫害不少基督徒远离上主。 如果天主能以它的大能让一个怪物转化成一位圣人,我们可以想象天主能为我们带来什么。我们看见天主的奇迹,以天主的荣耀改变了许多人并远远超出我们的期望。愿我们时刻抱有信德,相信我们爱的天主,相信我们的天主必会照料我们,我们赞美天主。

Some of us seem to think that “blood is thicker than water.” What that means is family members are more important than others, and one should do all one can to bring happiness, peace and prosperity to one’s immediate family. But what sort of attitude should us Christians have towards family? Of course we are

We live in a world where more and more unjust deeds are being committed in different ways. For example, we see discrimination in different forms happening, where certain groups get certain privileges, just because they claim to be the original settlers of the land, but in actual fact they are not. In some situations, we

The scribes and Pharisees were often described in negative or not so good ways throughout the Gospels. Often we hear Jesus mocking them, or scolding them, or telling them of their hypocrisy by showing them how wrong they were in their behaviour and conduct. But actually, the scribes and Pharisees were not entirely bad people

How do you train a buffalo or lighten its load? By putting another buffalo next to it so that the other buffalo would help to drag the load, or to pull the cart, or to plow a field. If one buffalo were to do the task on its own, the task may be completed but
