每年夏天我也會去教會的退修活動﹐過去我一直參加加西生活營﹐前前後後去了也差不多十年。不過加西營是給青年人的活動﹐近幾年我入營已覺得自己有代溝﹐特別是結婚後更加有隔漠﹐與還在讀中學大學的小朋友沒有什麼共同話題可以分享。於是今年老婆經朋友介紹下﹐帶我參加普世博愛運動(Focolare… [...]

電台節目初稿(3 – 5 minutes) 出場人物簡介﹕ 小明 – 剛從基督教轉到天主教的慕道班新丁 小強 – 小明由細玩到大的朋友﹐無特定信仰背景﹐不一定要信天主教… [...] 
現今社會離婚率很嚇人﹐據說每兩對結婚的夫婦﹐就會有一對離婚收場。教會作為捍衛家庭價值的先驅﹐深明預防勝於治療的道理﹐最有效防止離婚的方法﹐便是多做增進夫婦感情的輔導工作。今年情人節教堂搞了個夫婦電影欣賞晚會﹐看完電影後有例牌的男女分組討論﹐最後神父替參加的夫婦更新結婚時的誓詞。我被老婆捉了去參加晚會﹐反正是情人節便順她意思﹐當作陪她看一部浪漫電影也好。… [...] I am looking forward to the day when the Catholic Church lift the celibacy requirement of priests. Maybe I could become a priest as my second career when I am bored working as an engineer.… [...] 早幾年看《天使與魔鬼》的小說時﹐已經覺得它很適合用來拍電影﹐因為故事簡單情節緊湊。看罷電影後果然一如所料﹐帶來二個小時的驚險娛樂。這個故事的劇情與《達文西密碼》大同小異﹐都是湯漢斯演的符號學教授拖著美女走來走去解謎﹐不過地點從巴黎換了成羅馬。我去年渡蜜月時在羅馬住了一個星期﹐看見電影中熟悉的羅馬景色﹐重溫與老婆手拖手走過的羅馬街頭﹐看這套電影時更倍感親切。… [...] 星期天剛參加了朋友小孩的領洗儀式﹐才發現原來我是第一次參觀嬰兒領洗。領洗的儀式很簡單﹐前半段神父照例讀經講道﹐我則照例打嗑睡。後半段父母抱著嬰兒上到祭台前﹐一個個像團麵粉的嬰孩﹐排著隊給神父洗禮。神父先把聖水倒在嬰兒頭上﹐再用油在額上劃十字聖號。有些嬰兒濕水覺得不舒服﹐便受驚大哭起來﹐不過父母親友倒在開心地笑。完成禮儀後自然是合照時間﹐親友前來拍照留念和逗玩嬰兒。… [...] 我一向沒有吃飯前祈禱的習慣﹐不過結婚後每次食飯前﹐老婆都會提醒我要唸飯前經。有時太肚餓或老婆太慢﹐我已經把食物放入口中﹐她也要我邊吃邊補唸經。畢竟我信教多年對吃飯前祈禱已不大抗拒﹐也能夠理解在神學慨念中﹐我們要凡事感恩的重要性﹐當然這也包括為我們的食物謝恩。只是我認為感恩是一個恆常的心態﹐並不需要無時無刻掛在口唇邊。對食物感恩與神心照便可以了﹐不用很形式化在吃飯前特地祈禱。除非怕自己會忘記感恩﹐才需要一日三次提醒自己。至於其他食飯前祈禱的原因倒可以不用理會﹐不是迷信便是矯柔造作扮野。說食飯前祈禱可以潔淨食物﹐是沒有科學根據的迷信。說食飯前祈禱是在人前做見證宣揚耶穌﹐則與耶穌在馬太福音第六章中所說﹐站在十字路口禱告的偽善者無異。… [...] 天主教面對新教宗教改革的威脅﹐不得不重新找出自我定位﹐進行一系列反改革運動。雖然是名稱上是反宗教改革﹐天特會議實際上是推行天主教教內改革。中世紀的神學思想很多元化﹐教會內不同思想百家爭鳴。新教在宗教改革中選擇了其中一條路﹐而天主教則相對地走上另一條路。田立克在這章內簡單地總結天主教和基督教在神學理論上不同的地方。… [...] 
Hans Kung是現代著名的天主教神學家﹐亦曾擔任梵蒂岡第二次大公會議的顧問。他是撰寫天主教過去二千年的歷史適合不過的人選。他在天主教簡史一書中﹐以深入淺出的手法﹐敘述由耶穌死後﹐一直到今天的教宗若望保錄二世﹐在天主教會發生的重要事件。… [...] It has been a long day today. I had to wake up early in the morning to attend the ordination of deacon ceremony of Br. Anthony Ho at the Holy Rosary Cathedral in downtown. I have to pick up Pat and her friends as well. It was so rush that I don’t… [...] White smoke rising from the Sistine Chapel chimney, Joseph Ratzinger from Germany has became the 265th pope. As a Catholic myself, having a new pope, the leader of the Church suppose to be quite exciting, but I just feel indifference towards… [...] Today’s news coverage devoted a large section to Pope’s funderal. I don’t have CNN on cable and I was not really interested, so I didn’t watch it last night. Apparently, it’s a big social gathering for all the… [...] Finally, he had passed away after long suffering from Pakinson’s dicease at age 84. He is the 264th pope, the figure head of the Catholic church, which I belongs to. He is an admirable man, although I don’t agree on his ultra conservative… [...] I went to confession this morning. It’s the first time I confess in regular church confession hours instead of the unformal confession in the yearly church camp. I have to confess all sins because I am taking theLife in Spirit Seminar,… [...] |
