Dear Friends
HK's Catholic paper announced last Sunday that the "New Translation" of the English Mass is to be used from the first Sunday of Advent, December 2
For
most people who attend Mass in English in HK,
English is not their first language. They often don't find it easy to understand
the prayers and readings
The NT will make things worse. It's "lofty", almost poetic language will go right over the head of most local people
It's introduction is bad for the people. It will make it more difficult for them to pray
Which is why I am declining to say public English Masses in HK from Dec 2. I decline to support something that is bad for the people. See:

Today's
editorial in Ming Pao is entitled
A Good Time for the Bond Market Development
It can be accessed, together with my recording, at
this site, from about midday today HK time to late evening HK time
On this
31st of the month,
Jesus please bless
the people of Tianjin
(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 ...and "may our hearts burn" in the process
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
