校長、老師、同學們早！是不是很奇怪我今天說普通話呢？這是因為當我在想這個月的主題：體諒他人時，我突然想起了一首普通話的歌曲，我很想跟你們分享。這首歌的歌詞是來自聖經，哥林多前書第13章第四至八節。歌詞很有意思，如果大家能夠做到歌詞所講的，凡事包容、凡事相信、凡事盼望。你一定能夠體諒他人。除了中一的同學，應該全部同學都聽過這首歌。因為這首歌是在中二的音樂堂學過的，這首歌叫「愛的真諦」。讓我們一起聽這首歌曲。 播放第一段「愛的真諦」 Music: (please open the hyperlink in a new tab) 這首歌的歌詞真的很好吧。相信大家都很明白歌詞的意思，但做不做到就是兩回事。雖然要做到這歌詞的意思是十分困難，但困難也要努力去嘗試。請把這歌詞放在心中，要記著：愛是恆久忍耐又有恩慈，愛是不嫉妒。愛是不自誇不張狂，不做害羞的事。不求自己的益處，不輕易發怒。不計算人家的惡，不喜歡不義，只喜歡真理。凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望。凡事忍耐，愛是永不止息！當我在網上找這首歌曲的資料，發現這首歌曲在今年的五月，有一個全新的版本，相同的歌詞，不同的旋律，不同的唱法，帶給我一個很不一樣的感覺。聽說重要的事情要說三遍。我們剛才聽了一段，我讀了一遍歌詞，現在讓我再跟你們一起欣賞這新版本的「愛的真諦」。 播放第二段「愛的真諦」 Music: (please open the hyperlink in a new tab) 這版本的感覺真的很不同，很好聽吧。總結，記著要體諒他人，就要先包容，相信，忍耐，不要輕易發怒，不要計算人家的惡。如果大家都能做到，世界一定更加美好，大家一起努力實踐愛的真諦吧！ Ms. Sing M.

Psychology Today goes on to say, “People often use the words interchangeably, but they are, in fact, separate processes. You can be sympathetic to someone’s situation while being completely clueless about his feelings and thoughts. Empathy involves identifying with what someone is feeling and, additionally, actually feeling those feelings yourself.” Sympathy is feeling for someone;

Empathy is understanding how other people feel and being able to share their feelings. It means that for a little while you more worried about how they feel than how you feel. Here is an example: Your classmate is making fun of a boy who wore dirty shoes to school. You might want to laugh

今天我們會跟大家介紹甚麼是「煉靈月」。天主教教會將十一月定為「煉靈月」，鼓勵眾人多為煉靈祈禱，亦提醒在世的人要好好善度信仰生活。 至於煉靈月的由來是怎樣呢？在很久以前，教會一直受到不同方面的迫害，直到第四世紀先結束；後來人們為了紀念這些被逼害的殉道者，所以慢慢成了為亡者祈禱的傳統與習慣，而教會都特別鼓勵我們多為煉獄中的靈魂祈禱。教會相信人離世後，並非第一時間可以進入天國，反而需要到煉獄反省自己生前的過錯，從中煉淨我們的靈魂，及後才可以回到天主的身邊。但是，煉獄中的靈魂已經不能再靠自己的力量，亦不知何時可以到天堂，所以他們便要藉聖人和我們的代禱，讓他們早日離開煉獄。這便是我們信徒經常所說的「諸聖相通功」。 在天主的恩寵助佑下，基督徒並非只有獨自一人走成聖之路。在「諸聖相通功」之中，信友無論已抵達天鄉、為補贖正在煉獄中，或是於現世的旅途上，眾人之間仍然憑住愛互相連繫。這份諸聖相通嘅助力，能夠讓仍在痛悔之中的罪人，更早得到有效的淨化。我們可以透過多誦唸玫瑰經，求聖母為亡者代禱；我們亦可以實踐克己的精神，進行愛德善工，為有需要的人服務，將這些奉獻全給已亡的弟兄姊妹。 在整個煉靈月中有兩個特別的節日，分別是在諸聖節及追思已亡節。教會訂下十一月一日為諸聖節，提醒我們都是受召成聖，而且聖人跟我們一樣，都曾在塵世下努力生活，並克服各種誘惑，於信仰中得到力量並繼續前進。而十一月二日的追思已亡節，我們會特別為已亡的親友祈禱及奉獻，求天主仁慈地垂允，使我們堅信基督從死者中復活，並殷切期望去世的靈魂都能獲得同樣的復活，進入永生，得享天堂的福樂。 天主教同學會3P Daniel Tham, Joe Sin 4L Crystal Choi, Paline Lee 3 November 2021
