FAZtor ‘s Notes by Fr. Arnold Zamora Bishop Wang, our bishop in residence, left last Wednesday to attend the ordination of three newly appointed Auxiliary Bishops for

the Diocese of Hong Kong this weekend. In another spectacular and historical move, Pope Francis appointed three Bishops at one time to help the only Bishop in Hong Kong, Cardinal John Tong Hon.

The three appointees are Msgr. Michael Yeung Ming-cheung, Vicar General of the diocese and a member of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum; Msgr. Stephen Lee Bun Sang, Vicar of Opus Dei for East Asia; and Fr. Joseph Ha Chi-shing, a former superior of the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor in Hong Kong. The new appointments come at a time when Cardinal John Tong Hon has tendered his mandatory resignation having reached the age or 75, but who has remained at his post at the request of Pope Francis until a replacement is named. These new bishops will surely be a great help to the growing Catholic com-munities in Hong Kong as well as in the tense political relations with the Vatican and China. They also make Hong Kong unique among Chinese Catholic communities – there are two cardinals along with three bishops for a city that contains 374,000 Chinese Catholics and 189,000 foreign Catholics.

In the Catholic Church terminology, and used as a noun, the word cardinal means a senior ecclesiastical leader, usually an ordained bishop. Usually, a pope is selected from among the cardinals.

Used as an adjective, the word means of basic or great importance. So, a friend of mine shared with me these 7 Cardinal Rules for Life: Make peace with your past, so it won't disturb your pre-

sent. What other people think of you is none of your busi-

ness Time heals almost everything. Give it time. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you. Don't compare your life to others and don't judge them.

You have no idea what their journey is all about. Stop thinking too much. It's alright not to know the an-

swers. They will come when you least expect them.

Smile. You don't own all the problems in the world. What is the longest word in the English dictionary? SMILES: because there is a mile between the first and last letters!

Ques on: How important is the family to our overall society?Answer from Gaudium et Spes: Thus the family, in which the various genera ons come together and help one another grow wiser and harmonize personal rights with the other require-ments of social life, is the founda on of society. All those, therefore, who exercise influence over communi es and social groups should work efficiently for the welfare of marriage and the family. Public authority should regard it as a sacred duty to recognize, protect and promote their authen c nature, to shield public morality and to favor the prosperity of home life. The right of parents to beget and educate their children in the bosom of the family must be safeguarded. Children too who unhappily lack the blessing of a family should be protected by prudent legisla on and various undertakings and assisted by the help they need. Various organiza ons, especially family associa ons, should try by their programs of instruc on and ac on to strengthen young people and spouses themselves, par cularly those recently wed, and to train them for family, social and apostolic life. Finally, let the spouses themselves, made to the im-age of the living God and enjoying the authen c dignity of persons, be joined to one another in equal affec on, harmony of mind and the work of mutual sanc fica on. Thus, following Christ who is the principle of life, by the sacrifices and joys of their voca on and through their faithful love, married people can become witnesses of the mystery of love which the Lord revealed to the world by His dying and His rising up to life again.

Editor’s Note: Gaudium et Spes (the Pastoral Cons tu on on the Church in the Modern World) presents an overview of the Catholic Church's teachings regarding humanity's rela onship to society, with special emphasis on economics, poverty, social jus ce, culture, science, technology and ecumenism.

Twenty-Second Sunday of Ordinary Time: August 31, 2014

Sunday Readings The first reading is taken from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 20:7-9 in which we hear Jeremiah giving voice to this inter-nal anguish of mind; he hates what he has to say to his people, yet he is compelled by God to say it. The second reading is from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans 12:1-2 in which he tells the Roman Christians (converts, for the most part, from paganism) that they must prove themselves wor-thy of this great favor, they must live truly Christian lives. The Gospel is from Matt. 16:21-27. From all eternity this was God's plan for mankind. But because sin had entered into the world before the Incarnation took place, the Son of God in his human nature had to suffer the violent death of the cross at the hands of sin-ners. In this very suffering he became the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world, as the second-Isaiah had foretold in his "suffering servant" prophecies (Is. 53: 1-7; 42: 1-9 etc). His death, because he was God as well as man, was a sacrifice, an atonement, of infinite value, and therefore obtained forgiveness from the Father for all the sins of the human race. In foretelling his sufferings and death, which took place some months later, Christ intended to prepare his disciples and other followers for what he knew would be for them a severe crisis of faith. He also took occasion from it to remind his disciples, and all others who would follow him, of what their attitude to suffering and death should be. He told them, and us too, that we must be ever ready to accept sufferings in this life, and even an untimely death if that should be demanded of us, rather than deny our Christian faith. To prove their loyalty to their faith in Christ thousands of Christians in the early Church, and thousands more during persecu-tions in later centuries, gladly took him at his word and went joyfully to their martyrdom. It is to be hoped that, aided by God's grace, we would all be ready to imitate their example, if called on to prove our fidelity to Christ and our Christian faith. But at the moment what Christ expects and asks of us is that we should bear the sufferings and hard-ships of daily life cheerfully and gladly for his sake. This daily carrying of our Christian cross can be, and is for many, a prolonged martyrdom. Poverty, ill-health, cruelty and hard-heartedness met with in the home and in one's neighbors, are heavy crosses which only a truly Christian shoulder can bear. But, if we were offered health, happiness, peace, wealth and power for the next fifty or seventy years on this earth, in exchange for an eternal heaven after death, what rational one among us would accept that offer? Christians know that this life is a period of training, which makes us ready hereafter to receive the eternal reward which Christ has won for us. Every trainee knows that one must endure certain hardships and sufferings in order to merit graduation into one's cho-sen profession or trade. On our Christian graduation day we shall, please God, hear the welcome words : "Well done good and faithful servant; because you have been faithful in small things, I will trust you with greater, come and join in your Master's happiness" (Mt. 25: 21). May God grant that every one of us will hear these words of wel-come.
