Days without church Masses 没有教堂弥撒的日子


行动管制令,已经进入了第81天。

没有教堂弥撒已经近三个月了,看来还会继续一段时期。

很多虔诚的教友已经觉得“很迷失”,“很不舒服”,“很缺乏”,“很空虚” 等等。

大约50年前,很多住在偏僻的小镇或乡区的教友,有时一年一次远途跋涉,几乎千山万水的来到教堂,参加圣诞弥撒或者复活节弥撒。但他们的信德毫不动摇,反而更坚强。

今天,仍然有很多地区,几个月一次才见到神父到来小堂,与他们一起庆祝弥撒。我相信,东马内陆地区的教友,情况更严重。

我们住在城市地区,非常的幸运。每家都有电脑,每人都有精明电话,所以参加网上直播弥撒,只是指尖之劳而已。但郊区的教友,因为网速缓慢,对他们来说,是个很大的挑战。

好好利用我们现有的资源,先进的通讯设备及器材,参加更多的网上弥撒,听听更多的道理(证道),提升自己的灵修与宗教知识。这是一个新常态,一个让我们逾越与创新的时期。

感谢天主!

以下是各地区主日网上弥撒:




MCO has enrtered its 81st day.

Almost 3 months we do not have Mass in the church, and it is expected to continue further.

Many fervent Catholics are feeling "very lost", " very uncomfortable", "very deprive", "very empty" and so on.

About 50 years ago, many faithfuls staying in remote areas and towns, had to take a tedious journey to the nearest churches to attend Chritmas or Easter Masses once a year only. However, it did not weaken their faith, but instead made it stronger.

Today, there are still many faithful in rural areas, can see priests come to celebrate Masses with them once in a few months only. I believed, the situation in interior of East Malaysia is worse.

We the city folks are very much fortunate to have access to high speed internet and communication facilities and equipment. Attending online Masses is just a click of a finger. but is a great challenge to rural folks because of their slow speed internet.

So count our blessings, make full use of the modern IT technologies and equipment, to attend more online Masses, listen to more sermons or preaching of different priests, to upgrade and update our faith and knowledge.

Praise be to God !
