Dominic Qin, CSJB 瑪利亞進教之佑華人天主堂 · https://www.mhocp.ca/ 天主教愛民頓總教區 · 加拿大 Mary Help of Christians (Chinese) Parish Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 以下是愛民頓總教區 Mission Leadership - Divine Worship (傳教領袖——神聖敬拜) 的2021年2月16日來函 (Original English version follows)： 親愛的教友們， 教宗方濟各在2021年四旬期的文告中寫道：「在這皈依的季節裏，讓我們更新信仰，汲取希望的『活水』，敞開心扉接受天主的愛，他使我們成爲基督裏的兄弟姐妹。」在四旬期的日子裏，一個非常重要的傳統做法，就是經常參加彌撒，通過這種做法，我們在信仰、希望和愛中得到更新。愛民頓（埃德蒙頓）總教區提出以下幾點供我們思考，以鼓勵和引導我們在這大流行時期積極參加神聖的禮儀。 堂區正採取一切必要的預防措施，以保障大家的安全。如果你身體健康，有能力，而你的堂區又有地方，最好親自參加彌撒。 如果你不能親自參加彌撒，儘可能選擇觀看直播而不是錄製的慶典。現場直播的禮儀是在當下展開的，因此為那些以虛擬方式參與的人提供了實時與教會一起祈禱的機會。 在你的家中創造一個適當的氣氛，以跟隨直播彌撒。例如，在家中擺放聖經、十字架、蠟燭或主耶穌和聖母的圖像，營造一個神聖的空間。 在領聖體禮中，即使你此時不能在聖事上與耶穌基督合而為一，也要在精神上與耶穌基督合而為一。 繼續通過預先授權的提款或郵寄捐款，在經濟上支持你的堂區。如果你在這方面需要幫助，請與你的本堂堂區聯繫。 [1] 教宗方濟各2021年四旬期文告，2020年11月11日。 Mission Leadership – Divine Worship The Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton February 16, 2021 Dear Parishioners, In his Message for Lent 2021, Pope Francis writes: “During this season of conversion, let us renew our faith, draw from the “living water” of hope, and receive with open hearts the love of God, who makes us brothers and sisters in Christ.”[1] In the days of Lent, a very important traditional practice, by which we are renewed in faith, hope and love, is frequent participation in the mass. The Archdiocese of Edmonton offers the following points for our reflection to encourage and guide our active participation in the sacred liturgy during these pandemic times. • Parishes are taking all necessary precautions to keep everyone safe. If you are healthy and able, and if your home parish has space for you, it is best to attend mass in person. • If you cannot attend mass in person, choose to watch a live-streamed celebration rather than a recorded one whenever possible. Live-streamed liturgies unfold in the present moment, and thus afford the opportunity for those participating virtually to join in real time with the Church at prayer. • Create an appropriate atmosphere in your home to follow the live-streamed mass. For example, fashion a sense of sacred space by displaying the Bible, a crucifix, candles, or an image of Our Lord and Our Lady. • Turn off all distractions, including the phone. Do not try to multitask by participating in the celebration while doing other things around the home. • While not necessary for participation in a live-streamed mass, you could nevertheless choose to prepare spiritually by honouring the one-hour Eucharistic fast prior to the beginning of the liturgy. Reverence would also keep us from consuming food or drink during the liturgy unless required for medical reasons. • Take some time for prayer before mass. Read prayerfully beforehand the Scriptural readings assigned for the mass in order to be fully attentive to the Word of God when it is proclaimed. • Tune in on time. Make the sacred liturgy the first priority of your day. • Dress appropriately, as you would for in-person participation at church. • Be conscious of assuming an attentive posture. Choosing to follow mass from a chair rather than a sofa or recliner, for example, may help in this regard. • If others at home join you, create an atmosphere of reverence and attentiveness throughout the celebration. • Actively respond at the appropriate times as you would if present in the church. • Assume the appropriate liturgical postures throughout mass by standing for the introductory rites, sitting for the readings, standing for the Gospel, kneeling for consecration, etc. • Make an act of spiritual communion during the Communion Rite, thereby uniting yourself to Jesus Christ spiritually even if you cannot do so sacramentally at this time. • Continue to support your parish financially through pre-authorized withdrawal or by sending in your donation by mail. If you need assistance in this regard, contact your home parish. [1] POPE FRANCIS, Message of His Holiness Pope Francis for Lent 2021, 11 November 2020.
