Stewardship Reflections

““But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and

lend without expecting anything back.” (Luke 6:35)

Easier said than done, right? But, if we are to imitate Christ, most of us need to practice mercy and compassion more frequently. Start with the little daily annoyances that we

experience, the unkind word or hateful glance we receive. Instead of plotting revenge on that person, try saying a quick prayer for that person. Mercy and compassion will put us on

the path to holiness.

7th Week in Ordinary Time

This week Fr. James and I will be testing the students of the

School for their Confirmation. Confirmation this year is scheduled for

May 2nd. The preparation for Confirmation entails going to Mass, this is

the first and most important thing, doing 20 hours of volunteer work,

writing Mass journals and passing this test , which is specifically on the

sacrament of Confirmation. I have said to the students for as long as I

have done this; if you study you will pass and pass easily; if you don’t

study, you’ll have a very tough time. So remember, pray and study!

Last week I spoke about selecting godparents for baptism and

their duties. This week I want to write on following through with the

responsibilities of baptism by the parents. Parents, according to Canon

Law, should have their child, or children, baptized in the first month of

birth. This is not an ideal, but the real. It really is an act of faith to have

infants baptized as soon as possible. The parents, in this parish, take a

Baptismal Preparation “Course”, which involves two sessions. Why? It

connects the couple with the parish and also gives the priest an

opportunity to meet the couple as well, in the session and also by way

of an appointment outside of the “Course”. As well, it is an opportunity

to remind parents what their duties and responsibilities are concerning

baptism. When we receive a sacrament, we are in effect, swearing an

oath, and God is also swearing an oath. God is saying to us, in effect, "I

will help you to fulfill your responsibilities, but you must ask me for

help and cooperate with me in carrying out those responsibilities; the

parents, in this case, are swearing that they will following through on

the promises they make when they have their child, or children,

baptized.

What are the promises parents make in the Rite while the

child is being readied for baptism? This is from the Rite of Baptism:

You have asked to have your child baptized. In doing so, you are

accepting the responsibility of training him/her in the practice of

the faith. It will be your duty to bring him/her up to keep God’s

commandments as Christ taught us, by loving God and our

neighbor. Do you clearly understand what you are undertaking?

Like so many things, we need to unpack this so that it is really

understood. Just like the reality of having a child and raising the child

has many implications (e.g., feeding, clothing, educating, etc.), so to

when a child is baptized, the parents, or parent are promising God that

they will raise their child in the Catholic Faith. They will bring their

children to Mass, they will assume the role that is theirs, of being the

primary teacher of their child in the ways of faith. I will continue this

next week.

The present “Bible Study” is coming to a close. The next one

will begin on March 13th at 7:00pm, and take place on Wednesdays. I

will give a schedule to those who sign up. The Study this time will be

“The Mass” with Bishop Robert Barron. If you sign up on for Word on

Fire ENGAGE, you can watch the Videos, and the Course material is

there in a pdf. So, email the Rectory at parish.cc@rcav.org, or phone in.

The Mass is the root of our spiritual lives; the more we understand the

Mass, the more we will love Jesus Christ and the more we will want to

go to Mass.

Lastly – bring your old Palms for the annual burning – to

prepare for Ash Wednesday which is on March 6th.

本堂神父的話 常年期第六主日

明天或星期一(根據你讀這篇文章的時間而定), 我們卑詩省將慶祝家庭

日。正如我以前提到, 在我們的天主教傳統中, 二月是紀念聖家的, 我們

在這個月可以反思, 在聖家中, 大聖若瑟和聖母瑪利亞如何全心照顧耶

穌的安全、成長和準備祂的早年傳道。耶穌是大聖若瑟和聖母瑪利亞

的中心和核心, 如果我們希望我們的家庭如此健康, 那麼我們就應該看

看大聖若瑟的例子, 他把自己的一生都獻給了撫養孩子, 他是一個忠誠

的丈夫。 至於聖母瑪利亞, 她更全心撫養孩子, 並忠於她的丈夫。這對

夫婦連同孩子教導我們, 如果天主是我們生活和家庭的中心, 那麼我們

將永遠堅強和團結, 並能共同面對任何事情和一切。

在這一天, 應感謝天主的恩寵, 是的, 這是你家庭的恩寵。花些時間樂敘

天倫。讓孩子和成人放下遊戲機, 全家共敘一起, 以天主為中心。願天

主護佑基督聖體聖血堂區的所有家庭。

上周我寫了關於聖事的有效性和合法性之區別。本周我將專注於聖洗,

洗禮是聖事的第一項。洗禮對聖事來說, 就像出生對生命一樣, 沒有出

生什麼都不能, 更遑論其他。首先, 根據《天主教法典》, 進行洗禮, 應

該在出生後的第一 個月內進行, 換句話說, 就是要盡快進行。為什麼？

信仰就是把所思所說付諸行動。我們是出生於恩寵, 但帶有原罪。有了

聖洗, 原罪就被消除了, 我們接受了聖潔的恩寵, 就是上主的生命在我們

靈魂內。這就是耶穌在加爾雅略山為我們贖回來的。

同樣重要的是, 肩負聖洗的代父母應為孩子做一個靈性上的父母 (這不

是法律角色, 也不是社會角色, 而是精神角色)。代父母必須是能活出天

主教信仰的信徒, 每周參加主日彌撒, 並能夠接受聖體聖事的信友。代

父母應有兩位, 一位是男士, 一位是女士, 但如果找不到兩位, 那麼一位

也可以。代父母的主要角色是提供一個典範, 如何活出天主教信友的生

活、是基督的追隨者。

教會要求受洗者的父母實踐信仰, 至少願意或有誠實的意圖去實踐信仰,

在信仰中撫養孩子。如果沒有這個存在, 他們需要問自己 "為什麼我們

要讓我們的孩子受洗?" 請緊記, 耶穌基督要求我們每一個人為我們作出

的承諾負責, 包括受洗者父母的承諾, 這不單是對神父作出承諾(儘管也

許他們是這麼想的) 而是對天主說的, 他們將會藉著上主的助佑, 盡全力

而為。這並非不可能, 但卻頗具挑戰性。

本星期五, 我們慶祝聖伯多祿宗座的建立。讓我們在這一天為教宗祈禱。

願上主充實他的信德以便其執行職務, 作為信徒的精神領袖。

在基督內共融!

本堂神父的話

常年期第七主日

本周 James 神父和我將為學校的學生進行堅振聖事的測試。今年的堅振聖事定於 5 月 2 日舉

行。準備領受堅振需要參加彌撒, 這是第一件事, 也是最重要的事情。當 20 小時的義工、寫

彌撒周記、及通過這個測試, 這些是特別為堅振聖事而設的。我一向進行測試時會對學生們

說: 如果你用心溫習, 你會很容易通過測試; 如果你不認真溫習, 測試為你將會是艱難的事。所

以要緊記, 多祈禱和溫習!

上周我談到, 選擇聖洗聖事的代父母和說明代父母的職責。本周我續寫父母在聖洗中的責任。

根據《《天主教法典》, 父母應在出生的第一個月內讓孩子接受洗禮。這不是理想, 而是應該

付諸實行。讓嬰兒盡快受洗, 確是一種信仰行為。在這堂區, 家長須參加一個「預備嬰孩領洗

課程」, 當中包括兩節會面時間。為甚麼？課程會將這對夫婦與堂區聯繫起來, 也讓神父有機

會與他們會面, 及通過在課程以外的預約, 與這對夫婦見面。同樣, 這也提供一個機會提醒父

母, 他們在嬰孩聖洗的職責和責任。當我們接受聖洗聖事時, 我們實際上在作出誓言, 天主也

在作出誓言。上主實際上對我們說: "我會助佑你去履行你的責任, 但你須向我求助, 並與我合

作履行這些責任; 在這種情況下, 父母會兌現他們在孩子受洗時所作出的承諾。

當孩子準備接受聖洗時, 父母在儀式中做了甚麼承諾？聖洗禮儀中聲明: 你已經要求讓你的孩

子受洗。在這樣做的時候, 你已接受承擔, 訓練孩子把信仰付諸實踐。這將是你的責任, 把孩

子教導成長, 並遵守上主的誡命, 因為基督教導我們, 應愛上主和我們的近人。你清楚地明白

你的承諾嗎？

類似很多事情一樣, 我們需要拆解, 才能真正明白。就像生育孩子和撫養孩子的現實有很多涵

蓋面 (比如供養、衣著、教育等)。 所以, 當孩子受洗時, 父母都在向天主承諾, 他們將秉承天

主教信仰撫養孩子。他們將會帶孩子參與彌撒, 承擔自己作為孩子在信仰的道路上的啟蒙導

師。我將在下周繼續談這話題。

目前的 "聖經研讀" 即將結束。下一次將於 3 月 13 日晚上 7 點開始, 每逢星期三舉行。我會給

報名者一個時序表。這次將研讀 Robert Baron 主教的「彌撒」。如果你註冊了 " Word on Fire

ENGAGE", 你可以觀看視頻 , 而課程材料在那網址是用 pdf 格式的。所以 , 請電郵

parish.cc@rcav.org 給堂區, 或者致電亦可。彌撒是我們靈性生命的根源, 我們越瞭解彌撒, 我

們就會越愛耶穌基督, 我們就越想去參加彌撒。

最後, 記緊帶回你去年的舊棕枝供堂區燃燒, 以便為 3 月 6 日的聖灰周三做準備。

Hamilton 神父
