神師的話
Saying “Thank you” helps not only ourselves but also the people who hear it. If we thank people, they don’t forget it. And the next time around they will be glad to be help to us. They feel they owe us something. Thanking people cheers them up; you can see their faces lught up. It makes their work lighter. They go on doing the same old jobe, but somehow it seems interesting and easier.
The words “Thank You” bear fruit immediatly. When we are thanked, our first reaction is to go and thank someone else. And in that way we start a whole chain reaction of thanks.
What is particularly inspiring is thanks from above: parents thanking children, bosses thanking empoyees, teachers thanking pupils. Why is it that thanks is automatic to a stranger and not to those near?
Dear brothers Altar-boys-servers, my thank you to all of you whom have served God and this parish community for the las past 25 years, really from the bottom of my heart I want to tell you, Thank you!!! May this year of celebration will be also from our Altar Boy service, a way of expressing our thankfulness to God who has been with us and will continue to be with us. May our simple, in silence service be our way of giving thanks. And I your most lowly servant hope to keep walking and accompany you during this thanksgiving year. May God bless you all.
Fr.Tito (2018)
有一個門徒，
即西滿伯多祿的哥哥安德肋說：
「這裡有一個兒童，
他有五個大麥餅和兩條魚；
但是為這麼多的人這算得什麼？」
耶穌說：「你們叫眾人坐下罷！」
在那地方有許多青草，
於是人們便坐下，
男人約有五千。 耶穌就拿起餅，
祝謝後，分給坐下的人；
對於魚也照樣作了；
讓眾人任意吃。
若望福音 6:8-11
我就要走近天主的祭壇前，
走近我最喜悅的天主面前。(詠43:4)
聖本篤堂區聖若望碧文輔祭會
甚麼是輔祭???
教會初期在有需要時，
就會在信友的家中舉行彌撒，
而參加者是親友們。那裡沒有設置聖體櫃，
沒有特定的禮節或特別的服飾要穿。
而服務的角色，就是那些主家的孩子，
或是參禮的信友，這正是輔祭的前身。
由於教會強調禮儀，感恩祭的舉行，
在各方面的要求亦有所提升，
於是設立了輔祭一職，
而輔祭們都要接受特別的訓練。
在六世紀開始，
男修院所主辦的中學裡的男學生，
都成為輔祭。
