Renounce satan by virtue of baptism

 "The Christian has an obligation to pursue holiness, by virtue of his baptism. He has to fulfill the promises of his baptism: "I renounce Satan, his scandals, and his sins, and I attach myself to Jesus Christ forevermore." That is not a vain promise but something very serious! As the priest places the white veil on the child's head and gives him the candle, through his godfather and godmother who represent him, he says, "Keep the commandments of God and you will have eternal life. Keep the purity of your soul intact like this white garment in which you are clothed." That is the obligation which the Christian assumes for all of his life, wherever he may go, even if he remains in what we call the world. He is in the world but he should not be of the world."

成聖可以是有快樂的

 聖保祿書信可以看 但要選擇來看。 他多次強調成聖是痛苦, 身經百戰, 很辛苦, 這些對我們靈修是有鼓勵作用。 他也多番教人修各種德行, 遠避某些惡行。  可能我靈修程度差, 若果我把聖保祿書信全部看, 我會跌倒的。  但我仍覺得聖保祿書信有它的益處, 只是要選擇 正如舊約智慧書...
