Dear Friends
Last
night, after an afternoon at Lai Chi Kok Detention Centre,
I went to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for the anointing of three patients
....two of whom will probably be in Heaven by the time you are reading this
The
two regular QE chaplains are overseas....and priests can't be found to take
their place. A crazy situation
Even
crazier is the fact that HK is blessed with many (married) deacons
who would be ideal for hospital work except for one thing:
they may do baptisms, weddings, funerals...may preach, lead Communion services
....but may not administer the Sacrament of the Sick!!
Reason: S of Sick involves "forgiveness of sins" which only a priest may carry out
I've
heard many many priests comment on the sheer stupidity of this law.
It's a law that urgently needs changing....for the sake of the people
------
On this
13th of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Jiangxi
(Please join me in praying for one
part of China each day of the month)
Today's
English editorial in the Ming Pao newspaper (HK),
"What is expected of Lam Woon-kwong" (July 13)
and my recording of same,
can
be accessed here from midday HK time June 15 to mid-evening HK time
June 15
My Bible Plan for today = Please join me in using these
readings for courage
in difficult times
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
