Stewardship Reflections

“I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have

loved you, so you also should love one another." (John 13:34)

It is easy to love someone when they love you back. But it takes strength and courage to love someone when we feel

unappreciated, used or feel our opinion doesn’t matter. It takes courage to “love my neighbor” when he may be someone I

don’t like, someone I don’t know or someone that doesn’t look like me..

5th Sunday of Easter

I want to welcome, albeit one week late, William Mancao to our parish for the summer period. William is a

seminarian who has just completed 1st year theology. As you read this he is becoming acquainted with all aspects of the

parish and parish life. I ask all of you, knowing full well that you will, welcome William to our parish for this important

phase of his seminary training and keep him in your prayers (as with all seminarians) that if it is God’s will he will be

ordained to the priesthood. It is important, as well, that all of us pray for vocations to the priesthood. God has in no way

ceased to call men to the priesthood; the difficulty is that, it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to hear because of

the tsunami of distractions and temptations in the world. We need to be convinced though, that while it may be more

difficult for men to hear it is by no means impossible. So pray, and pray for the long game, meaning until death, and not

just in spurts, or for a month, or year…till death.

Today is the Seniors High Tea, which begins at 1pm. This is an event that is enjoyed by our senior parishioners. It

is also a good opportunity for others to serve you, as you have served us in so many different ways throughout the years.

This is a small way that we can show you our appreciation for your sacrifice and service to the Lord, our parish and the

community. For the seniors, I will see you there! I want to thank, in advance, all of the organizers who have put this event

together.

Tomorrow, Monday the 20th, is Victoria Day, and it is a National Holiday. It is a good idea to try and make time

to be with family, and perhaps even attend the 9am Mass on that day. Why not?, as it is great way to start the day. We

should always be thankful that we have holidays like this. In pre-Christian times there were no holidays, except with the

Jewish people and they were ordered by God to take one day of rest and spend it worshipping Him. The word holiday

comes from “holy-day,” and is another thing to be thankful for as children of God.

The priests of the Archdiocese will be on retreat these next two weeks, the retreat is always at Mission, or the

Abbey, where the Benedictine Monks live. I will be on the first retreat and Fr James will be on the second. Please pray for

the priests of the Archdiocese and be assured that we will pray for you.

Continuing with my weekly section on the Sacraments: Now that I have discussed the different types of sin, it is

important to review what the requirements are for a valid and profitable Confession

For a confession to be valid there must be the confession of all mortal sins. For a confession to profitable there

are five steps involved:

1) Examination of Conscience: this is a very beneficial and necessary spiritual exercise if any spiritual growth is going to take place. It involves asking three questions at the end of the day: 1.1) What have I done wrong with

respect to God, my neighbour, and myself; 1.2) What have I done right; 1.3) What specific things can I do

tomorrow in order to make some improvement. This resolution should be practical, attainable and concrete.

Remember to deepen in your devotion to Mary during the month of May, pray the Rosary each day, or pray the

Regina Caeli at 12pm each day.

Fr. Hamilton

本堂神父的話

復活期第五主日

雖然稍嫌遲了一週，我歡迎 William Mancao 先生參與服務我們本堂。William 是剛完成了第一年神學的

修生，會在本年夏季留駐本堂，融入及實習服務堂區。作為一位朝向晉鐸神聖召喚的路途上，這實習為

William 是重要的；所以，懇請大家為 William、也為修生們祈禱，期望在天主聖意下，他們都能穩步到

達晉鐸的宏恩。

為聖召祈禱至為重要。天主不停召叫祂揀選的人，困難卻在於被召叫的人，會否被俗世和誘惑的洪流，

掩蓋了天主的聲音。不過，我們深信，天主的聲音仍能不斷迴響。因此，我們要常常殷切祈禱，不止於

萌芽階段，亦不設祈禱的時限，而是一生為聖召祈禱。

今天下午一時，堂區禮堂有招待教友耆英的「社交茶敘」，好讓年長的教友，有機會接受他人的服務。

可不是嗎？他們勞碌一生地付出，是時候讓我們向他們致小小心意，多謝他們為天主、為堂區、為社群

所作的犧牲。我同時也多謝組織這茶敘的教友義工，使這感激的善意，能付諸實行。

明天、五月二十日、星期一，是全國的「維多利亞日」假日，不失是一個「家庭同樂日」；也許，是一

家大小共同參與上午九時彌撒的機會 ── 是一天好開端的方法。能有「假日」，我們應該感恩。基督宗

教之前，猶太人沒有所謂「假日」，只有天主吩咐「七天內一天」的「安息日」，要他們把那日視為

「聖日」，不工作，只務恭敬天主的事。「假日」的英文字 holiday，源自「聖日 holy-day」，促使作

為天主子女的我們，在那天特別向天父感恩。

隨後的兩個星期，是教區神父的退省日，地點在米遜由本篤會會士辦的大修院。我會參與首星期的退省，

副本堂神父會參與次星期的。請為我們總教區的聖職人員祈禱；而肯定的，我們會為你們祈禱。

繼先前談到不同的「罪」，我們續談如何辦一個富神益的「修和聖事」。

有效的「修和聖事」，自然是向神父告明所有大罪。要辦能領受神益的「修和聖事」，有五個步驟。

（一）省察。省察屬必需的靈修，以期達到靈益的境界。我們可自問：1) 我對天主、對別人、對自己，

曾做過什麼錯事呢？2) 有什麼事我是做對了的呢？3) 我怎樣可以使自己有進步呢？對這些自問的答案

結論，應該是實際的、可行的、堅定的。

明忘記在這五月份，特別恭敬聖母：每天誦唸玫瑰經，每天中午誦唸聖母喜樂經。

Hamilton 神父

How to limit screen time this summer for your kids (and why you should)

These 5 strategies will help you and your kids have a much more peaceful summer.

Screen time is an insidious thing. When you’re at your wits’ end during summer vacation and you need a few minutes to get some work done or just to have some peace and qui-et, bringing out the screens can seem like just the thing. But often it has the reverse effect, and both you and your kids can end up paying dearly for that hour of quiet.

I learned this the hard way last summer. The first few weeks of summer vacation were filled with poorly regulated, unstructured screen time. More often than not, my kids ended up fighting as much over the screens as they did using them. When I inevitably reached my limit and took the screens away altogether, the rest of the day devolved into complaining and bickering. It took me a few weeks before I wised up to the turmoil that screens were actually causing, and I spent the rest of the summer learning through trial and error how to regulate screen time most effectively. To save you (and myself) the hassle of reinventing the wheel, I’m going to share the most effective strategies for limiting screen time so you can have a process to implement when school gets out.

1 NO SCREENS IN THE MORNING Placing screen time at the beginning of the day is an great way to set yourself and your kids up for a long, frustrating day. Even if you limit their screen time to an hour or less, the profound dopamine rush of screen time in the early hours will make everything that follows seems subpar. Activities they would normally enjoy, like riding bikes outside or going to the library, will be met with resistance and hostil-ity. Screen time is often overstimulating, which leads to exhaustion and discontent — not the tone you want to set for a long summer day.

2 LIMIT SCREENS TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND A CERTAIN TIME OF DAY Learning to limit their screen time to less than an hour a day was the quickest lesson I learned, but it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that not having a set time in the day for screen use was creating as much stress and anxiety as too much screen time had. My kids didn’t know what to expect, so they constantly asked for what they wanted. It made me crazy, and I usually handed over the iPad when they had worn me down asking, begging, pleading, and whining. Kids aren’t stupid, and mine are no exception — they knew all they had to do was pester me for screen time until I gave in. My patience dwindled rapidly until I limited screens to the after-noon while the toddler napped. They complained a bit, but adjusted to more quickly than I expected. Setting a firm boundary and not allowing myself to deviate from it ended up giving me hours of peace and quiet while my kids threw themselves into activities they’d been eschewing.

3 ACTIVE PLAY BEFORE PASSIVE PLAY Once my kids knew they couldn’t expect screens in the morning, they were eager to play outside. We spent most mornings in the back-yard swimming, but other days they rode bikes, drew with sidewalk chalk, played hopscotch, or we took a short trip to the nearest park. Kids absolutely need at least a few hours of physical activity per day during the summer for their physical health and their mental and emotional well-being. Just like adults, kids have trouble regulating their emotions without regular exercise — so make sure you prioritize active play before considering passive screen time.

4 MENTAL STIMULATION CAN PREVENT OVERSTIMULATION One of the biggest mistakes I made last summer was letting my kids have screen time right after lunch, when their little brother went down for a nap. He napped for 2 hours, which ended up being way too much overstimulation for his siblings to handle, so I replaced the screen time after lunch with quiet reading time. They each had to spend at least 30 minutes reading quietly and another 30 engaged in some other form of quiet play, like coloring or crafts. They were only allowed to use screens after the full hour of quiet time was up — and I was surprised to find that at least half the time, they became so absorbed in their chosen quiet time activity that they never even asked for screens at all. Waking their brains up with healthy stimulation was often enough to keep them from craving the unhealthy over-stimulation of screen time.

5 MAKE THEM WORK FOR IT The last lesson was the one that took me the entire summer to figure out. If kids believe that screens are a right and not a privilege, they’ll see any restrictions as an injustice. This can pit your kids against you if they start to think you’re withholding something they have a right to. I finally managed to flip the tables by making screens a privilege they had to earn, rather than something freely given. Every day, they each had one big chore or two smaller ones to complete before they were allowed to ask for their hour of screen time. Some days they stamped, whined, complained, dragged their feet, and never got the chores done at all. The next day, those chores were still waiting for them.

But some mornings they got up and did them before we had even had breakfast, which had the dual benefit earning their screen time and inspiring their siblings to do the same. Regardless of what happened on any given day, the dynamic surrounding screens was pro-foundly altered. The kids knew what they had to do to earn them, and if they didn’t do it, they knew it was their own choice rather than some form of parental tyranny. They couldn’t argue their way out of it (even though they tried). It just was, and eventually — about the last week before school — they accepted it.

It might seem like an overwhelming list of things to make your kids learn to check off before handing them that iPad, but I promise you that putting this in place at the very beginning of the summer and sticking to it like glue will make your summer infinitely easier and more peaceful.
