Baptisms in Hospitals

In the past week, I was blessed with the opportunities to baptize people in the hospital. Last Saturday, I conditionally baptized, confirmed, anointed, and gave 1st Communion to a man who was very sick. I brought Communion to him yesterday (Friday), and glad to see that he seems to have improved quite a bit.

Also, I had to joy to baptize a baby girl in the hospital. With permission of her parent, I am sharing a photo with you and ask you to keep the sick in your prayers.

Pax Sinica Article: Mass (Part II)

Loving offer to God

Recently, we celebrated the feasts of the saints, St. Agatha, the Japanese Martyrs, and St. Scholastica, who gave their lives for God’s love. The Mass is a sacrifice where we offer ourselves with Christ to God the Father. This week, I am going to walk you through the Offertory of the Mass.

Procession of the gifts

During the Offertory, people in the congregation are united in prayer by the singing of a hymn. There is a procession of gifts.

Pax Sinica Article: Mass (Part I)

Praying the greatest prayer

February 2 is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. At the presentation, Christ was offered to the Father. The prophets Simeon and Anna were prayerful people who listened to God attentively, and they encountered the Lord Jesus in the temple.

When we attend Mass, we should listen to word of God attentively and offer ourselves with Christ to the Father. Over the next two weeks, I will walk you through the greatest prayer of the Catholic Church, the Mass.
