Good morning Shungtakians, among all the themes that we have from the last term, like “Respect differences”, “Acceptance and Hope”, “Be kind to all living beings”, these are easy to understand and respectful. Teaching us how to be a person with good morals. Though I have to say that the theme of this month might

Good morning, everyone. We are the representatives of class 3L. Acceptance and hope are some of the key elements that help us overcome difficulties in our lives. We would like to introduce a Chinese sportsman who, through demonstrating acceptance and hope, brought to our motherland, China, 1 Olympic silver and 2 Olympic Gold medals. Acceptance

Good morning. We are the representatives of the ARC. Today, we would like to share with you the story of Nick Vujicic, who spreads the wonders of God. Nick was diagnosed with tetra-amelia syndrome, which means he was bo=rn without arms and legs. From the very beginning, his parents struggled to accept his appearance and

Good morning, everyone. Today is our first day back after exams. How are you feeling? Some of us may be feeling happy, some nervous, and some a little worried, and that’s okay. In times like this, it would be another opportunity for us to reflect on the theme of this month’s sharing — Acceptance and

The theme of this month is Acceptance and Hope. I believe after listening to the sharing of teachers since last week, you should have better understanding about both values. We should accept our weakness and shortcomings. Have hopes in ourselves and overcome positively. However, do you know that actually you can also be hopes of

This month, our theme is hope and acceptance, especially when we think about tests and exams – something many of us are facing right now or soon. We all know how tests and exams can feel. You stay up revising, your heart beats fast before the exam starts, and sometimes the questions seem harder than

Happy new year! Did you enjoy your Christmas Holiday? Having Countdown at Victoria Harbour? Sharing your great moments of 2025 on instagram? Or making a new list of new year’s resolutions? New year’s resolution often brings with the idea that at every new year we have the chance to reset and restart with new intentions

大家好。隨著每年的結束，我們常常在社交平台上看到朋友們精心策劃的「年度總結」。這些回顧不僅是對過去一年生活的整理，更是對自我成長的反思。在這個過程中，我們可能會想起一些開心、驚喜或失意的瞬間，也可能會重新評估與他人的關係。有時我們會發現，成長並不總是伴隨著明確的目標，而是對自我的接納和理解。 在這裡，我想分享一位音樂人的故事——陳奕迅。在90年代，陳奕迅憑藉其獨特的聲線和深情的表達方式入行。儘管他在2000年代獲得了無數獎項，成為新一代的樂壇巨星，但在他的音樂旅程中，也曾面臨過許多挑戰與不成功的時候。 早期的陳奕迅面對幾張專輯的銷量不佳，甚至受到冷漠的公眾反應。他沒有因此氣餒，而是選擇接納這些失敗，將其視作成長的契機。他深刻反思自己的經歷，並努力提升音樂技藝。隨著《十年》等作品的推出，他漸漸贏得了廣泛的關注，這些歌曲不僅情感真摯，更顯示出他在創作上的成熟。在這個過程中，陳奕迅學會了接納自己的獨特性和音樂風格。他從流行音樂轉向搖滾，甚至融合其他音樂元素，並不盲目迎合流行趨勢。他專注於創作，表達心中的感受，並勇敢面對挑戰，從失敗中汲取靈感。陳奕迅在多次訪談中表示，失敗並不代表一個人的整體價值，關鍵在於如何面對和接納失敗，並從中尋找成長的機會。儘管近年來我們在螢幕前少見他的身影，但相信他仍在自己的音樂旅途中不斷探索與創新。 故事在這裡暫告一段落。 今個月所分享的主題是——接納與盼望。這兩種態度，正是我們成長歷程中的關鍵。有人說：「成長是由人生的不同經歷中學會接納過去的自己，並擁有跨越難關的勇氣。」「接納」不僅僅是接受過去的事情，更是開放心靈，認識真實的自己，包括那些情緒脆弱、落泊失意之時。這份「接納」需要伴着一份「勇氣」，而這份「勇氣」意味著我們希望通過行動來作出改變。所以，成長並不是一瞬間所發生的事情，而是逐少拼湊、慢慢細味的過程，更是對自己未來的一份「盼望」。 就好似在「年度總結」中，大家回顧所經歷的一切，無論是高光時刻，還是低谷經歷，最終你會發現自己就在這段歲月時光之中開始成長，因為你懂得從中接納過去的自己。因此，無論未來會面臨什麼挑戰，我們都要相信自己有能力去應對一切。   Ms Poon WK

The theme for this month’s sharing is Acceptance and Hope. In the past week, we’ve learned that acceptance means being able to reflect honestly on ourselves, to evaluate our current status, and to recognize our inadequacies and shortcomings. But acceptance alone is not enough – our mindset determines whether it leads to growth or stagnation.

Jan: 大家好我哋係Catholic Society。喂Michael，你有冇報名join今個禮拜五嘅Christmas ball呀？不如我哋一齊去呀 Michael: 只要你叫到嘅，我隨傳隨到。過埋呢個星期就放假，我真係好期待呀! Jan: 咁你最期待啲呀？ Michael: 梗係聖誕節啦！今個禮拜係將臨期嘅第三個主日，主題係喜樂。即係話我哋要喺呢個保持喜樂，迎接聖誕節。 Jan: 咁\就啱晒啦！呢個禮拜咁多咁正嘅活動，一定好開心，充滿喜樂添呀。即係諗下去邊度玩先，emmm，迪士尼又得啦，打邊爐都好似唔錯喎。只要我玩得開心，一定fit晒呢個主題嘅啫！ Michael: 等陣先～將臨期喜樂呢個主日唔係講緊呢種藉物質而得到既快樂啊，而係有更重要嘅含意㗎。喜樂主日標誌嘅係將臨期已經過半，聖誕節的來臨不再遙遠。呢種即將迎接主耶穌嘅喜悅，取代左起初等待嘅嚴肅氣氛。即係話當我哋認真反省完自己之後，我哋都應該要對耶穌降臨感到期待，所以呢個喜樂係有意思㗎。 Jan: 喺斐理伯人書第4章第4節講過 ［你們在主內應當常常喜樂；我再說：你們應當喜樂！主快來了。］呢種喜樂並非表面嘅歡聲笑語，而係源於同天主連結所帶來嘅內在平安同希望。佢提醒我地喺忙碌準備節日嘅時候，都唔好忘記基督即將降生成人嘅「喜訊」。 Michael: 而喺呢個因基督降生成人而喜悅嘅主日，我地係咪應該都要做返啲行動去回應返呢一份喜悅呢。譬如將物質嘅準備 購物呀 派對嗰啲，轉移到精神層面，同屋企人相聚。喜樂係需要分享㗎，就讓我地將呢份盼望同喜悅傳遞給身邊嘅人，可以係一個簡單嘅問候或者係一個鼓勵嘅微笑。所以除咗單純嘅開心，我地更加要生活出上主嘅喜訊，以喜樂嘅心迎接主嘅來臨。 Jan: 冇錯啦，而將臨期嘅最後一個主日就係厄瑪奴耳。 Michael: 乜嘢撈豬耳話？你講泰文呀？ Jan: 係厄瑪奴耳呀，意思即係「天主與我哋同在」寓意住小耶穌進入我哋嘅生命入面，為我哋帶嚟愛與光明。呢段時間進入左即將來臨嘅緊迫感同確切感，標誌著等待時期嘅結束，迎接主耶穌嘅降生。明白到天主不再係遙不可及嘅，而係透過耶穌基督嘅降生，親自來到人間，與我們同在。 Michael: 但係呢排我一直都聽到好多人討論因應著社會既狀況，我哋應唔應該慶祝聖誕節。 Jan: 但聖誕節嘅真正意義就係我哋點樣去傳達愛，去關心有需要嘅人，正正就係耶穌基督降生嘅使命，所以喺呢個節日我哋都應該活出呢一種精神。再講，聖誕節本來都象徵著耶穌為人受苦受難既開始，加上當時黑落德王下令殺死男嬰，全耶路撒冷都一同驚慌，但就係喺呢個黑暗、充滿恐懼既時間，耶穌降生來到我地當中，為人帶來光明同希望。 Michael: 同學仔都要記住呢一個喜訊，天主會一直與我哋同在，喺我哋生命裡面工作。並學習喺不安入面，嘗試期盼平安。而我地都需要將「天主與我們同在」嘅溫暖帶畀嗰啲孤獨、貧困或有需要嘅人，譬如做下愛德服務、義工等等。 Catholic Society
