Living in this society with fierce competition and rapid social changes, everyone hopes to have good ideas to broaden their prospects, develop their careers and strive for happiness. This is an era that values creativity, but also an era of pursuit and competition. Everyone is scrambling to chase, intrigues, and complicated hearts, but suppresses the […]

Today we would like share with you about simplicity and sharing. Do you know how to make a scented candle ? When making a scented candle, essential oil is a must to be added as it brings out all the smell of the candle during burning. However, have you ever wondered what is the suitable

The Bible tells us that we should live simply, that true abundance is internal and not external, and that we should seek godliness rather than material prosperity in their lives. Paul has said to Timothy, “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out

As the theme for this month is Simplicity and Sharing, I am going to tell you a little story about sharing simplicity – about the exchange of a glance between two strangers – between me and a little girl. I am on the LRT Route 751 commuting to school. People are sandwiched in the compartments

校長、各位老師、同學： 早晨！昨日陳老師分享了很多關於簡樸的道理，或者今日我談少少關於分享的體會。不知大家有沒有聽過平日用來盛載沖好了的咖啡的壺有何名稱？它其中一個名字就是「分享壺」。確實人生中沒有誰能每次沖咖啡都馥郁甘甜，但透過分享，苦味能減半，甜味亦能倍增。人生亦如是。 可能有些同學知道，我非常敬佩一位歷史學家名為陳寅恪，他的一生經歷中國最動盪的時期，晚年更受到不少迫害與苦難。他的子女曾為父親寫了一本回憶錄，有意思的是書中不是寫父親有多高的學術成就、多強的外語能力、影響了多少代研究中國的學者，反而全書聚焦的是家庭，家人如何與他在大時代甘苦與共，就如該書名所寫《也同歡樂也同愁》。生命因有人一起分擔，苦痛也能減半，喜樂亦能倍增。 正如三位一體的天主，從創始到成終都是一起同工、同在，彼此在救贖的計劃中分擔、分享。但願崇德亦能成為大家分享生命，共同成長的地方。 Mr Yim TL9 December 2022

I would like to talk about a word, “found”, with all of you. If we look at the dictionary, we will know that there are two meanings for this word. It could mean to bring something into existence or to establish something, and of course this word is also the past tense of “find”, which

As many of you know, the theme of this month is ‘Love is not rude’. While you may have already gotten bored of this topic, we are going to share some examples in movies and songs of how love is not rude. The first example is from the movie, A beautiful day in the neighborhood

Bullying is not a new problem happened in schools in Hong Kong. In the past three years, the situation worsened. According to statistics submitted by the Education Bureau to the Legislative Council, 346 bullying cases were received by the Education Bureau in the school year 2019-20, a 53 per cent increase compared with 226 cases

這個月的分享主題是「愛不作無禮的事」，當我在思考「愛」跟「禮」有甚麼關係的時候，我跟兒子就發生了一件小風波，讓我對這一句經文有了一些體悟。 事情是這樣的：上星期一天早上，兒子給我發來一張照片，照片中是他的一份中文閱讀報告的其中一部分，目的是向我展示他所繪畫的圖書封面。可能是因為職業病的關係，我看到的不是那個精美的構圖，而是他竟然寫錯了兩個字，還有，感想部分的要求是100字，他似乎只寫了50。然後我立即給他回覆，把當中的錯字圈起來，還特意發了一條語音，告訴他在感想部分要再多寫一些。沒多久，電話就響起來了，一接通，只聽到他拋下了一句：「媽媽，你好煩﹗不要再理我﹗」就掛了。當時，我既生氣又傷心，我的寶貝兒子從來沒有對我說過這樣的話，是青春期嗎？給他指出錯誤，有甚麼問題？我不改老師也會改他呀﹗這是為了他的好﹗我把我的不滿跟疑惑告訴他爸爸，豈料得到的回應是：「your love is rude to him」 愛是不作無禮的事，因為愛的本身會在乎他人的感受，愛是尊重他人的，而不是專注在自我，尤其當我們對待身邊最親近、最熟悉的人時，更不應該打著「愛」的旗號而失去應有的尊重和禮貌，任何傷害別人的事都違背了愛的基本標準。 因為這件事，我跟兒子兩天沒講話，最後他跟我道歉了，我也向他說抱歉，還跟他分享了我在此事的感受和體悟，但願我們都能把愛的真諦記在心中，多顧及別人的感受，不作無禮的事。 Ms Wong KY18 November 2022

Good morning, we are the representatives of 5M. The theme of this month is Love is not rude. Let us tell you more about the meaning of the theme first. The Bible says,“Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. ”. It tells us
