Good morning shungtakians. Welcome back to the school.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lily who loved to collect seashells on the beach. She would spend hours searching for the perfect shells, admiring their unique shapes and colors.

Obstacles are unavoidable in our lives, every single thing we experience teaches us something, and shapes who we are.

Paline: 仲有個幾禮拜就放假啦！真係好期待呀！Harvey 你放假有冇諗住去邊度玩？ Harvey: 我應該會返聖堂嘅～ 最多之後再搵啲日子去行街。嗱！復活節放假大家都知，但係你又知唔知復活節前嗰一星期，有啲咩事發生？ Paline: 等我諗下先，我記得中三嗰時嘅RE堂有講過類似嘅事。好似講咩「聖周」？ Harvey: 你咁講都啱嘅，而踏入聖周嘅第一日說係「聖枝主日」。 Paline: 聖枝主日又係咩嚟㗎？ Harvey: 聖枝主日係四旬期最後嘅一星期，聖週嘅開始即意味住耶穌好快就會被釘十字架，亦都係天主救贖人類計劃嘅高峰。而今年嘅聖枝主日就係4月2號啦。 Paline: 咁到時會點嫁？參加嘅人要自己帶樹枝去？ Harvey: 根據福音記載，當時耶穌騎驢入耶路撒冷嘅時候，民眾手持棕櫚樹枝歡呼，高呼「賀三納」，同將自己嘅長衣舖喺地下。耶穌就喺呢種好似君王般嘅禮遇下入耶路撒冷城。所以為咗紀念呢件事，我哋都係喺當日一齊拎住聖枝出遊，聖堂入面仲會以聖枝嚟做裝飾添。咁不如等我問下你，知唔知耶穌點解係騎驢，而唔係用馬呢？耶穌作為君王，用馬唔係應該更勁咩？ Paline: 耶穌係君王，不過佢係一個和平嘅君王，自然就會選擇以各方面表達對他人嘅愛，就好似佢平日所做嘅事咁，治病、講道，內容都係以天主嘅慈愛為主。多數只有將軍、達官貴人，或打仗嘅時候先會騎馬；而驢仔就啱啱相反，主要係窮人嘅交通工具，加上，耶穌騎驢入城就係預示咗佢以自己做祭品，為我哋而犧牲。 Harvey: 你講得好啱呀～ 教會除咗喺聖枝主日舉行禮儀，當日嘅福音亦會頌讀「耶穌受難始末」，等教友記起耶穌曾經受過嘅苦難，最終因佢嘅犧牲而克勝罪惡同死亡，畀我哋一個好好嘅機會反思和奉獻自己。 Paline: 係呀～ 所以我哋唔好忘記耶穌為我哋所作犧牲，應該時常奉獻自己，喺人哋有需要嘅時候盡量幫手啊！ Catholic Society21 March 2023

Yesterday, March 19, was the Feast Day of St. Joseph, husband of Mother Mary and father of our Lord, Jesus Christ. But before I talk a bit more about St. Joseph, I’d like to share a story about a person who was also a father-like figure in my life. When I was in secondary school,
