原本以為結了婚便不用去加西﹐結果還是給老婆捉了入營﹐分別只是今年我們睡夫婦房﹐不用跟其他小朋友睡碌架床。不過我倒寧可與大伙兒一起睡﹐我不怕小朋友遲睡談天擾我清夢﹐也不怕小肥仔打鼻鼾的嘈音。只是夫婦房在飯堂的地窖﹐沒有窗戶只靠一把抽氣扇通風﹐空氣很燜焗令人很不舒服。今年天氣又特別冷﹐我帶了睡袋夜半還是冷醒好幾次﹐每天起床時好像沒有睡覺一樣。早知反正也睡不好﹐倒不如去和小朋友的夜半玩耍聊天好了﹐不過不知他們受不受我這個叔叔玩。… [...]

The Church has many masses in a year, the regular Sunday mass, special occasions like church festivals, days of significants, Christmas or Easter. Among all the masses, the Easter Vigil is the longest mass of the year. Jesus was crucified… [...] I am not a good christian according to the Church’s standard. I don’t like going to church every week, although I don’t mind. Actually, I don’t even agree with the teaching that christians should go to church… [...] 
每年加西我也說明年不會再來﹐ 但是我每年九一勞工節長週未﹐依然是一年復一年去了加西。同樣的時間﹐同樣的地點﹐做著大致相同的事﹐四日三夜的教會生活營。我素來對於教會活動興趣不大﹐不過去了加西已經六七年﹐就算多麼抗拒的事情早已成為習慣。早幾年在加西也曾過有剎那間的感動﹐畢竟宗教很能夠刺激人感性的一面。不過近幾年人老了學懂了抽離﹐只會冷眼旁觀小朋友抱擁流淚﹐再裝點笑容說些鼓勵小朋友的說話﹐恰如其份地做個老鬼應做的本份。以前還會找些對宗教興趣的朋友﹐圍著神父談論些深入的神學話題。不過現在我所問的已不是三言兩語可以交代清楚﹐超出神父在閒談間所能解答的范圍﹐其他人更是完全摸不著頭腦﹐所以今年全完沒有深入的宗教討論。… [...] 在去年聖誕節南亞發生的大海嘯﹐在災區的死傷者多不勝數﹐而數以十萬計的人亦痛失家園。面對這世紀性的大災難﹐很多不論有沒有宗教信仰的人﹐亦會質疑神為什麼讓這人間慘劇發生。當教徒面對這些疑問﹐在教會圈子裏有不同的反應﹐歸納後可以分為四大類﹕… [...] 
今年在萬二分不情願底下﹐又給女朋友在這個長週未捉了入加西生活營。雖說是頗不願意﹐不過說到底已經去了五年﹐在那兒也認識了很多朋友﹐倒也不太介意去這個四天三夜的教會活動。我一如過往幾年一樣﹐對入營沒有任何期望。在營中看見別人感動得流淚總是感得很不可思議。我只當這是個遠離電腦上網的退修機會﹐把步伐調慢下不用為生活煩惱。雖然可以利用這些時間去完成房更多的事情﹐但讓腦袋休息一下也是好事。… [...] 
經過兩個星期艱辛的朝聖之旅後﹐終於到了這次歐洲之行的最後一站﹐ 在巴黎渡假一個星期﹐何謂是先苦後甜。我們住宿在第一天到巴黎時那間酒店﹐這一次因為早已熟悉了地址﹐從火車站很快就到達酒店。那一夜我們睡得很甜﹐很久沒有舒舒服服睡一覺了。… [...] 
我們一行人很依依不捨地離開Dorfen﹐在清晨坐上他們為我們安排的旅遊巴士﹐前往為期五天在科隆Cologne﹐波恩Bonn和Dusseldorf杜塞道夫﹐三市聯合舉辨的世青節正式活動。以科隆為中心三座城市相距不遠﹐它們的地下鐵系統亦是互相連接﹐不過來住城市之間當然坐火車快點。在這五天期活動間﹐會有一百萬來自世界各地的青年人﹐聚在一起交流大家的信仰。世青節大會亦在三市不同的地方﹐安排了很多類型的節目﹐有講座﹐祈禱﹐靈修﹐音樂﹐等等。在這期間我們可以憑著世青節的通行證﹐免費乘搭來住三市的交通公具﹐跟據節目表前往想去參加的活動。… [...] Pat goes to the WCCCLC camp again this year and help out by being a group facilitator. I am exempted from going to the camp this year thanks to SoB’s and Derek’s visit. Still I drove in to give Pat moral support today. The camp site is… [...] I am very exhausted today. After the auction dinner last night, I have to get up early at seven thirty this morning for another fund raising event, car washing at St. Paul. I think the word volunteer work or WYD promotion as a more appropriate description.… [...] I went to the 2nd faith formation session held by the Vancouver archdiocese for everyone who is going the World Youth Day. The topic is on prayers, presented by the Youth Ministry director and the newly ordinate deacon Anthony. Claymoo make… [...] What is freedom? Does a person has the right to think freely and act freely as long as it doesn’t cause any harm to anyone? In a relationship, why both partner had to think alike and act alike? Can two people with totally different character… [...] Recently, I got overwhelmed by church activities. There are too many meetings and events going on, and I am stressed out since it eats into my private time. Preparation for Worth Youth Day is good, but do we need to spend so much time doing all these… [...] Today is the first faith session organized by the Archdiocese of Vancouver for everyone going to the World Youth Day. Out of my surprise, everyone form our parish team went to the session, and we were probably the biggest group there. The session… [...] Today is the day before easter friday, according to the Bible, tonight is when the last supper took place. I went to the passover mass at St. Marks college in UBC tonight. On top of the usual rituals, there is a feet washing event in the mass. I had… [...] I went to 3 farewell events for my colleagues in one day. First it’s the farewell lunch for Renee, then afternoon I went to beer and wings for Scott, and at least I hopped to the pub for Renee’s party again. There are many people leaving… [...] Hope is one of the three virtues, and it is an indespensable element of life. If you have a dream and striving for it, you know there is always a way out regardless of the current state. I found the emptiness feeling inside me fades away as I stop wasting… [...] Tonight in the Life in the Spirit Seminar, for a moment I thought I had received the gift of interpreting tongues. I was a bit shocked and excited when I hear plain English during the tongue prayer. It turn out that it is a false alarm, the person… [...] I think I am having the problem of procrastination. I just keep delay the work I have to do until the last minute, and already not follow the schedule I set up myself. As I’m reading in the Zen and the Art of Motercycle Maintenance, the root… [...] Several things happened today. We had the tape-out party in the afternoon, the whole team went to play go-cart. It is the at usual go-cart place I go in Richmond. We have 24 people and the final race is divided into 3 groups. My speed is fast enough… [...] |
