Prayers

Only living once, we should never give up on going after our dreams. Most of us are fortunate to be born with a well-functioning body and surrounded by people who love us. Some people are less fortunate, but it does not have to stop them from treasuring life. We would like to take this opportunity […]

Mika：Joe，你冇事阿嗎？做咩喺度周圍拜黎拜去啊？你係咪有咩煩惱啊？唔怕講出黎喎。 Joe ：唔係啊！我喺度拜緊苦路啊。上次Catso Express咪提過四旬期係為期40日，等信友可以係呢段時間，好好準備心靈去迎接耶穌基督嘅復活嘛。咁其實除左守齋之外，我地都會拜苦路嘅~ Mika：講起拜苦路，不如就等我考下你對佢有幾多認識啦！你知唔知「苦路」總共有幾多處啊？ Joe ：呢題咁容易，我梗係知啦！14處吖嘛！我仲知第一處係耶穌被判死刑添。 Mika：咦？識啲野喎！咁你知唔知「苦路」嘅由來同埋意義係咩先？ Joe ：errrrrrr。。。你今次又真係考起我啦~ 我唔知喎~ Mika：唔知唔緊要，等我話比你知啦。拜苦路就係指一個紀念耶穌為左救贖人類而被釘係十字架上嘅活動，參加者會喺指定路線配合唔同耶穌苦難嘅畫象做祈禱。喺17世紀嘅時候，方濟會士聖利安納就開始宣揚拜苦路嘅敬禮，最後喺1731年教宗確定左邊14處作為苦路嘅地方同埋敬禮儀式。 Joe ︰嘩~ 原來個禮儀咁耐歷史~ 咁點解又會有14處咁多呢？ Mika︰其實14處苦路係將耶穌苦難嘅過程分做14部分，例如第一處比拉多審判耶穌，第二處耶穌背負十字架，去到最尾一處就係耶穌被埋葬，而每部分都有讀經，默想同祈禱嘅。 Joe ︰但有讀經、祈禱唔係都夠啦咩？點解仲要有默想部份呢？ Mika︰你又唔好咁講，因為默想都係好重要既~ 透過當中嘅默想，我地可以將苦路裏面每一處同自己嘅生活聯繫，更加投入參與禮儀。但最重要都係提醒大家︰耶穌係為左救贖世人先要受苦嘅事實，藉此提醒我地天主對人無私嘅愛同奉獻，並且過程當中，一路反思自己平日有冇實踐天主嘅教誨，就好似係愛人如己，寬恕，克己等等嘅善行。 Joe ︰係咪即係咁，因為呢個禮儀唔單止係紀念耶穌嘅苦難，仲要跟隨佢行走呢段苦路，所以我地並唔係孤零零咁一個人行。而耶穌本來係清白無罪，冇必要受刑，但正正因為佢對我地嘅愛，願意接受一切，忍受所有侮辱同痛苦，將本來應由我地背負嘅十字架放喺自己嘅膊頭上面。 Mika︰冇錯啊！有啲慧根喎！ Joe ：原來拜苦路係咁有意義，等我仲以為周圍拜下就已經算係添，真係失禮曬。 Mika：唔緊要啦，欣賞你有呢份熱誠想了解下，實踐下。不過講起實踐，學校catso黎緊都有拜苦路 嘅活動喎，你有冇興趣黎了解多啲啊？ Joe ：咁好嘅機會點少得我啊？唔知個活動係幾時呢？ Mika︰喺嚟近3月17日（星期五），Catso會喺二樓祈禱室舉行拜苦路，想參加嘅同學就記得 留意我地instagram / 報告版上有關嘅資訊。 Joe ︰希望到時見到大家啦~ Catholic Society 8 March 2023

To you, what is the meaning of life? Perhaps it is to travel and eat every delicious food in the world or gain a lot of money for entertainment. Yet, no one can tell the actual definition of the meaning of life, so we need to spend our lifetime thinking about it. Moreover, there are

The theme for this month is about Treasuring Life and my thoughts immediately went to the major earthquake in Turkey and Syria. As you know, it was a tragic series of massive earthquakes that struck both countries and it was so horrific that I found myself avoiding news about it. But I now feel it

本月的主題是接納包容，那你們知道甚麼是包容別人嗎？那為甚麼我們要包容別人呢? 接下來，讓我們分享關於一位男人為妻子戒掉香煙的故事吧! 相信你們聽完這故事後，都能解答這兩條問題。 從前有幾個男人看球，總是離不開香煙。直到球賽結束，才發現不知不覺中，他們已經抽了三盒煙。其中一個男人的妻子也在旁邊陪伴著。可是，她竟然什麼也沒說。 只是在他們不注意的時候，打開窗子，讓新鮮的空氣進來。他們覺得很奇怪。 「你就不管管他這麼抽煙嗎？」 坐在她旁邊的男人問道。 那女生微微一笑說：「我也明白抽煙有害身體健康，可是，如果抽煙能讓他快樂，我為什麼要阻止？我寧願讓我的丈夫能歡樂地活到60歲，也不願意他勉勉強強地活到80歲。畢竟，一個人的歡樂不是任何時候或者金錢能夠換來的。」 他們再看到這男人的時候，他已經戒煙了。 其中一個人問為什麼，他憨笑著說：「她能為我的歡樂著想，我也不能讓自己提前20年離開她呀。」 包容不是無底線的縱容，不是沒原則的忍讓，而是站在別人的角度去考慮，包容別人，也是給他們一次機會，讓錯誤得到改正，讓他們自我反省。所謂「退一步，海闊天空」其實只要包容別人，會避免很多的衝突。包容別人就是給自己機會成長。希望同學們亦能好好成長，學習包容寬恕的美德。 Putonghua Club28 February 2023

In bible, Matthew, Chapter 5 Verse 43 – 44 stated that, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” This is one of the important teachings by Jesus Christ, to love your enemies and pray

In bible, Roman, Chapter 12 verse 9, it quotes “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; Cling to what is good.” Acceptance is an important ingredient of love. Loving others means accepting them just as they are, just like God accepted us in our original state. However, accepting others doesn’t mean indulging them. Genuine

I’m sure we all have come across countless group projects, and there will always be two distinct ideas being against each other as long as there’s more than one person. Besides, there will always be someone that you don’t wish to be in the same group in your many experiences. What would you do if

How many of you like mirror? I mean like looking at yourselves in a mirror. Do you like your appearance? Do you think you are talented? How do you think about your classmates? Your friends? In a western TV program, some young adults dressed as high school students shadowing their high school days in order

今日我想同大家分享一本書，名為〈隱形男孩〉,所謂既隱形，並唔係指緊擁有隱形既超能力，而係指緊存在感比較薄弱,或者因為內向而較少與人互動既人,而故事既主角布萊恩,正正就係一位隱形男孩。係同學眼中,布萊恩就係內向、安靜、不多話等等既代名詞，好少有同學會同佢交流係班上面, 似乎從來無人注意到布萊恩，專題分組個陣，無人諗到要邀他加入自己的小組;聖誕聯歡會個陣，無人會諗到要寫聖誕卡;就連班會活動點人數個陣,都無人會記得佢既存在。布萊恩一直就處於一種隱形既狀態，佢亦漸漸對失去左自信。 直到一位新同學馬丁來到布萊恩的班上，雖然馬丁同其他同學一樣,一開始見到布萊恩都覺得對方係內向、安靜，但馬丁無因為咁而放棄同布萊恩既交流接觸，反而經常主動邀請布萊恩一齊食飯, 或者同組完成專題甚至一齊參加比賽。自此,馬丁既出現令布萊恩搵番自己的亮點，重拾自信明白自己原來一樣可以同人交流合作，自此布萊恩既生活終於出現左唔同既顏色，重新展現屬於佢既光采。 唔知你身邊又有無好似布萊恩既存在呢?，其實好多時他人既慢熱或者內向會妨礙我地去認識、了解一個人既本質。只要我地願意釋出善意，突破自己固有既限制, 踏出主動既一步，往往就會令對方感受到被接納與肯定，並進一步相信且發現，自己也有閃閃發光既地方。論語有云:君子尊賢而容眾，希望同學日後可以包容、接納他人既不同之處，發掘到對方意想不到既亮點。 Mr Chen LC17 February 2023
