Thank-You Letter for Chinese New Year Celebration on 2/17 - James Hua

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I mentioned on Sunday Mass that I will send out email to thank everyone.  Obviously I didn't know that some good guy already did.

I am happy to see Joseph's Thank-You email to you all regarding Chinese New Year Mass and Culture Activities.  I second whatever he expressed in the letter - yes, thank you very much!  Hope to see more fun activities in our community.  Any suggestion?

May God bless you all!

James Hua
PS: BTW, ADA (Annual Diocese Appeal) still needs your kind support - small or large.  Thank you!  (Hmmm... do I sound like the guy in KQED fund raising program)

Sharing A Good book - Chinese Catholic Friends Message

親愛的朋友，

願天主的恩寵常與您同在。 我們有好書願與您分享 ：

蘭嶼的魚男孩 - 丁松青(Fr. Barry Martinson) 神父著 大家對能彈會唱的美籍耶穌會士丁松筠神父較為熟悉，但是他有位在偏遠山地默默為原住民服務四十多年的弟弟，丁松青神父則少為人知。 小丁神父多才多藝，三十年前以英文寫了“蘭嶼之歌”經女作家三毛翻譯為中文之後，成為暢銷書,很受讀者喜愛。 近年來陸續出版原住民流傳已久的故事，幫助大家了解不同的文化傳統。 本書以中，英文對照方式編寫，配合丁神父所繪的精彩插圖，適合全家大小一起閱讀。

數量有限，如果您有興趣，歡迎您盡快與我們連絡。

SJCCC Easter Sunday Tea Party - An Evangelization Opportunity/James Hua

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I bet you've heard some nagging from many Catholics either among ourselves or other communities that -

"we are not proactive as Protestants in approaching people, tagging people around and relaying people with Good News..." –or-

"we should stand up and act instead of complain and sigh…"

Well, this is everyone's chance! Tony and E.T. Committee (Evangelization Team, not Extra-Terrestrial from Steven Spielberg’s movie) had put up tons of effort to hold another action packed event for the benefit of everyone – bay area friends to be evangelized and us to be energized! It’s like hitting two birds with one stone. Isn’t that great?!

Please note this invitation excludes no one – all are expected to chip in some efforts. Please try your best to influence your dear brothers and sisters so they don’t feel left out. Please reply to ALL, Tony and me so we all know which action items are covered. We have Florence, George, Kerching, An-Pung, Cris helping you out. They are all ears too.

Here are all the details from Tony and E.T.

親愛的區組長,

謝謝您為主耶穌帶領他的羊群！我們感謝您的辛勞及您的心血，我們相信天主了解您的心意，祂也必祝福您為主耶穌所有的付出。

在復活節當天, SJCCC將邀請去年我們在華人大型活動中接觸到的五十多位「新朋友」參加一個特別的茶會。我們希望所有的區組都能參與這項活動：

1. 每一個區組都能以主人身份招待2位「新朋友」。不但是在活動當時招待他們，活動以後也保持接觸，繼續邀清他們參與區組及團體活動。
2. 每一個區組都能用1領1(1區組領1人)的方式邀請疏遠的「老朋友」，在復活節回來我們的團體。在復活節以後也繼續邀清他們參與區組及團體活動。
3. 每一個區組都能參與這活動的一部分工作(請代表您的區組認領貴組能夠承擔的部分) 。我們都知道，在一起工作中，區組才能真正的凝聚和成長。

聖母在露德顯現150週年得大赦辦法/James Hua

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Happy Chinese New Year! We wish you a joyful New Year and abundant blessing from our heavenly Father.

If you miss yesterday's chance to pray with Fr. Koo at lower church after 3 PM Mass for "Plenary Indulgence" (大赦), you still have time (about 7 days left).  Below is what you will do to receive decree.  Focus on (2) and (3) if you don't have time or resource to visit Lourdes.  I believe it's very easy to do.

聖母在露德顯現150週年得大赦辦法


（宗座聖赦院於二00七年十一月二十一日公布，為紀念聖母於露德顯現150週年，訂定凡教友自二00七年十二月八日至二00八年十二月八日期間，依照教會得大赦的條件，熱心在法國露德山洞朝聖者，每日可得一次全大赦。同樣，自二00八年二月二日至二月十一日，教友在任何聖堂、經堂、聖母洞或適當地點，隆重供奉的露德聖母像前熱心祈禱者，也可得全大赦。）

聖赦院法令全文如下：
天主的全能和無限的愛，以奇妙的方式，將我主耶穌基督之母及其奧體教會之母瑪利亞的角色，和教會本身救恩的工作相連在一起；真福隱修院長蓋里克（GUERRIC）曾把基督信友自聖母尋求的庇蔭，和天主教會救恩的普世職務連在一起，他說：「真福基督之母，由於奧蹟她是基督徒的母親，她也由於對他們的關懷和慈愛顯示自己是母親，你想假如她的孩子，受某種自發的信仰意識所激勵，在任何考驗和危險下，不會呼號她的聖名，認她為母親，為避難所，猶如小孩投入他們的母親懷中麼」（聖母升天講道詞）。

同樣，梵二大公會議「教會憲章」強調我們可以稱真福童貞瑪利亞和天主教會「共同」使命：「瑪利亞深刻地加入了救恩史，反映著信仰的重大教導，當她受頌揚和敬禮時，號召信友接近她的聖子及其犧牲，接近天父的愛。教會在追求基督的光榮時，更加肖似她崇高的典型，在信仰、希望及愛德上繼續前進，在一切事上尋求並追隨上主的旨意」（65號）。

掃視一下自從聖母將自己以無玷始胎啟示給伯爾納德蘇畢陸150年來，她要求一座朝聖地---聖寵的寶庫，在露徳城名瑪莎比埃的地方建立起來並予保持。使人想起無數的標記，藉此全能的天主的慈祥賜以人靈精神的生命和肉體的健康。天主上智的這一計畫，因真福童貞瑪利亞的轉求，清楚證明人的完整目標是全人的好處，今世的，尤其是永久的得救。


自露徳朝聖地建立起，基督信徒瞭解了聖母經由天主教會的職務，願意為人們的完整健康做出最有愛的貢獻。

因為當他們在「聖母的腳踩過的」地方敬禮她時，他們因聖事而又活力充沛，堅定志向度更完美的教友生活，更清楚地領悟教會的意義，並經驗一切事務的確實原因；多年來這些驚人事件的關連，清楚作證聖母和教會的共同行動：一八五四年聖母始胎無玷信理的欽定，和一八五八年聖母顯現給熱心的女青年伯爾納德，以無法形容的母性溫柔，吐露信理定義的話說：「我是無玷始胎」。

為了使新的聖德的果實因這次神聖的紀念而成長，教宗本篤十六世慷慨的頒布，依下列條件賜予全大赦的恩惠：
每一個基督信友，真正懺悔，因告解聖事而淨化，藉聖體聖事而重振，並為教宗意向祈禱者，可以每天得全大赦，也可以代禱方式，將全大赦讓給煉獄中信友的靈魂：
（一）自二00七年十二月八日至二00八年十二月八日止，凡熱心拜訪下列地方：1.伯爾納德領洗聖堂的聖洗池；2.蘇畢陸家，名為（CACHOT）的房屋；3.露德的聖母山洞；4.伯爾納德初領聖體小聖堂者，在以上地方稍作逗留並做默想，念天主經、信經及禧年禱詞或其他聖母短頌者。

（二）二00八年二月二日獻耶穌於聖殿日，到二月十一日露德聖母顯現紀念日，也是顯現150週年，凡在任何聖堂、小聖堂、聖母洞或其他適當地方，隆重供奉的露德聖母像前拜訪，做一些對聖母的熱心敬禮，或至少靜默片刻默想、誦念天主經、信經或禧年禱詞或其他聖母短頌者；

（三）年老者、病人及因正當理由無法離開家的人，假如他們有意識的抗拒一切罪過，並有意及早完成以上所說條件，可以在家或其他場合得全大赦，假如他們在二00八年二月二日至二月十一日之間，「心神拜訪」以上所說的地方，誦念以上所指祈禱文，將他們生活中的痛苦及不舒服，經聖母奉獻給天主者。

為了使基督信友更欣然地分享這些天賜恩惠，凡自教會有關當局獲得聽告解許可的司鐸們，應該以慷慨的精神接受這些安排，隆重帶領教友公開向無玷童貞天主之母祈禱念經。

任何相反的事均無法成立。
