Dear Friends
Yesterday afternoon was spent as usual at Lai Chi Kok Detention Centre
Yesterday
morning was spent at Queen Elizabeth Hospital....the largest in HK...
1,800 beds....but no priests available....both chaplains overseas...no
replacements
As
I went with one of the pastoral team, a lady, to a list of people waiting
for the Anointing of the Sick,
I was thinking how strange it is that this pastoral worker may baptise (in case
of danger) and may give out
Holy Communion, but may not put oil on a sick person's forehead and palms
"Strange"
is not a strong enough term. Law needs to change, just as it changed to allow
lay people to
take Communion to the sick
If
the Church continues the trend from stopping lay people doing things, and relies
on the priest to
do everything, less and less is going to get done as priests become fewer and
fewer
------
Today's
editorial in Ming Pao is entitled "Don't
Hand ut More Sweeteners than Necessary".
It can be accessed, together with my recording, at
this site, from about midday today HK time to late evening HK time
On this
18th of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Shadong
(Please join me in praying for one
part of China each day of the month)
My Bible Plan for today = Please join me in using these
readings
to help base our lives on goodness and truth
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
