The Gifts:  Bread, Wine and Collection

by Deacon Danny Wong

Many of us don't really know the hidden meaning of the Offering of the Gifts.  Here is the good explanation from the website of Frank O’Dea SSS at https://theeucharist.wordpress.com.

The gifts, bread and wine, are brought to the altar in procession preferably accompanied by a sacred hymn or song. It is the best if those who will receive communion during the mass take the bread and wine as an offering and part of the procession...

七月三日主日默想  July 3rd Sunday Reflections

丙年常年期第十四主日: 傳福音的門徒

依 66:10-14

迦 6:14-18

路 10:1-12, 17-20

今日福音記載耶穌派遣門徒傳福音,我們就以「傳福音的門徒」做反省。耶穌要門徒傳福音,似乎更重視傳福音者這個「人」,這人「是」甚麼似乎比他「做」甚麼更重要......

基督的至尊寶血
Precious Blood

隨著復活節節日、慶日及五旬節的結束,緊接的是紀念主耶穌基督寶血。

起源

教宗庇護九世曾於一八四九年八月十日頒定七月份第一主日為基督的至尊寶血節日。但於一九六九年從羅馬天主教禮儀年曆中省略,因為贖世者的寶血已彰顯在其他重要的節日禮儀中。

傳統

按天主教傳統,我們將整個七月份奉獻于主耶穌基督寶血。因基督的寶血,整個人類獲得救贖;藉基督的寶血,洗滴我們的罪汚。從新約中,基督自我犧牲所流出的寶血比舊約中牛犢之血更為尊貴。(路加福音二十二20;出谷紀二十四8)......

七月份禱文 Prayer for July
維護宗教自由祈禱文
Prayer for the Protection of Religious Liberty

聖湯瑪斯·摩爾,宗教自由主保聖人,請為我們祈禱。

(美國天主教主教團許可使用中譯)

造生萬物的上主,從祢的無限仁慈眷顧中,我們領受了生命、自由、和謀求幸福的權利。

祢召集我們作祢的子民,並賦予我們權利和義務去朝拜祢,唯一的真天主,及祢的聖子耶穌基督。

藉着聖神的德能和化工,祢領引我們在塵世中活出信仰,好能光照普世,把福音的救恩真理帶到社會上的每一個角落。

求祢降福,讓我們警醒到信仰自由的恩竉,使我們當信仰自由受到威脅時有捍衛自由的心志力量;求祢更多加我們勇氣,好能為維護教會的權 利、為確保所有人信仰良知的自由,敢於挺身作聲!

天父啊!在我們國家這歷史性的決定時刻,求祢聚集祢教會的全體子女,發出清晰一致的響聲;為我們的子孫後裔、為後我們而來的人,我們 要承受一切磨練考驗、克服所有艱難危險;讓這片土地,成為「一個屬於主的、合一的、不可分裂的、自由正義的國家。」

以上所求,因我們的主基督。亞孟。

 

St. Thomas More, Patron of Religious Freedom, Pray for Us.

O God our Creator, from your provident hand we have received our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

You have called us as your people and given us the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God, and your Son, Jesus Christ.

Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit, you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to every corner of society.

We ask you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty.

Give us the strength of mind and heart to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened; give us courage in making our voices heard on behalf of the rights of your Church and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.

Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters gathered in your Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with every trial withstood and every danger overcome— for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and all who come after us— this great land will always be “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
