20year

Our community has more than twenty years of history in Dallas. What began as five or six families coming together to study the Bible and pray together, quickly became a community that regularly gathered at nearby churches for Masses and meetings. As the numbers grew, they requested that the Diocese of Dallas help establish a permanent Chinese Catholic community in 1990. In 1992, we put our money together and purchased a small office building in Richardson, Texas. By the end of 1993, we had renovated it to become our sanctuary and activity hall. With the guidance of priests seconded from Taiwan and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, our small community grew stronger in numbers and in faith.

  3. 念三次:主啊!請祢幫助我——可憐的罪人,也幫助所有的罪人們,都能真心的懺悔所犯的罪過.
  4. 簡單反省後念痛悔經:我向全能的天主和各位兄弟姐妹,承認我思、言、行為上的過失。(搥胸)我罪,我罪,我的重罪。為此,懇請終身童貞聖母瑪利亞、天使、聖人、和你們各位兄弟姐妹,為我祈求上主、我們的天主。


聖母第一苦:西默盎的預言:在聖母獻耶穌於主堂的時候,有一個叫西默盎的義人,對瑪利亞說:「……有一把利劍將要刺透你的心。」

聖母第五苦:耶穌被釘苦架:「他們到了那名叫髑髏的地方,就在那裏把耶穌釘在十字架上。他的母親……站在耶穌的十字架旁。」

唸:天主經。聖母經七遍。極寬仁的母親

聖母第六苦:耶穌的聖屍由苦架卸下:「阿黎瑪忒雅人若瑟……要求領取耶穌的遺體。耶穌的遺體由十字架卸下後,他的母親接抱在懷中。」

慈母心聲:“我感到特別的痛苦,當我把他抱在懷中時,我想到,在我的雙臂之間,我親愛的兒子,已經變成了沒有生命的屍體。”
