The theme of this month is respect for others. Respect is often associated with polite and courteous actions, treating others with compassion, empathy, and fairness. In this digital age, where anyone can become an anonymous keyboard warrior, it seems like the cornerstone of respect in society is being lost. Is the internet the sole culprit […]

We are the Yellow House, and our theme for this month is ‘Respect for Others.’ Over the past two weeks, we have discussed and shared a lot about the importance of respecting others, including our teachers, friends, and family members. Speaking of family, who comes to mind? Perhaps you immediately think of your parents, siblings,

Good morning, We are Red House. Today, we want to talk about the meaning of respect. We often hear this word and believe we understand it, but do we truly practice respect, or are we simply pretending? It’s important to examine our actions and make sure we genuinely show respect to those around us, including

The theme of this month is “showing respect towards others”. Let us share a story on this theme with you. Once there was an old man who spread a rumor that his neighbor was a thief. The young neighbor got arrested by the police as a result. After some time, the young neighbor proved himself

The martyrdom of the Virgin is set forth both in the prophecy of Simeon and in the actual story of our Lord’s passion. The holy old man said of the infant Jesus: He has been established as a sign which will be contradicted. He went on to say to Mary: And your own heart will

We usually mention the word “respect”, but what is it in truth? Let me tell you a story about respect from the Bible. There was a rich man who lived in luxury every day. At his gate, a beggar named Lazarus was laid, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich

Over the past few days, when we were lucky enough to actually be in school, we have had quite a few sharings on the theme of showing respect to others. We heard tips on how to be respectful, to be mindful of our words and actions, to be respectful to our family members, and to

Last week, Mr Lau talked about showing respect for our family. Since last Friday was supposed to be Respect Teachers Day, I’ll focus my sharing today on showing respect in the school setting. Before I start, which word do you think is the most powerful word in the world? Being educated in Christian schools since

為何每年我們都會向着個蛋糕許願？為什麼生日值得慶祝而且我地又會去許願呢？對我來說，生日對於每個人來說都是一個呼喚新希望的象徵，好事從我們的生日開始。 天主教會在今天慶祝聖母瑪利亞的誕辰，這個日期是傳統固定的九月八日。教會自至少六世紀以來就慶祝瑪利亞的誕辰。選擇九月出生的日期是因為東方教會將九月作為教會年的開始。 關於瑪利亞的嬰兒時期和幼年時期的情況並沒有直接記載在《聖經》中，但其他一些最早期的基督教作家編寫的文獻和傳統記載了她出生的情況。在聖雅各伯書中，它描述了瑪利亞的父親若亞敬是以色列的一個富有的人。若亞敬和他的妻子亞納因沒有孩子而深感悲痛。他們想到了亞伯郎，在天主賜予他兒子依撒格的最後一天。若亞敬和亞納開始專心祈禱。起初，他們感到沮喪，因為即使他們盡了最大的努力祈禱，他們仍然無法生育，他們認為這是天主不滿意他們的祈禱的跡象。最終，這對夫婦得到的祝福甚至超過了亞巴郎和撒辣，一個天使出現在亞納面前，對她說，所有的世代都將尊重他們未來的孩子：“上主垂聽了你的祈禱，你將受孕並生子，並且你的後代將在全世界被人提及。”在瑪利亞出生後，他們為她設立了一個“bb房”，當她一歲時，像香港的許多父母一樣，她的父親為瑪利亞舉辦了一次盛大的生日派對，他邀請了祭司、經師、長老參加盛宴。 如前所述，我們可以將每個人的誕生視為世界上新希望的呼喚。父母的愛與天主的創造工作相結合。在充滿困難和挑戰的世界中，你的誕生令到很多人充滿平安與希望，你的誕生對你的父母和家人來說意義重大。 生日慶祝活動不僅為壽星帶來快樂，也為家人和朋友帶來快樂。除了耶穌的誕生之外，聖母的誕生為世界帶來了最大的幸福。讓我們不要忘記今天是聖母的生日，她的誕生是耶穌來臨的先聲，耶穌是人類和平的根源，讓我們都能分享這份平安。 Mr Kwan YW7 September 2023
