可以為亡者祈禱嗎?

 

 

答覆:

 

請看聖經的教導。

 

it is your obligation to pray for the dead.

為亡者祈禱是一種責任。

 

1.we say to our brothers , please pray for me, because we need their prayer . but death can not stop us to be members of the church.

我們對弟兄姊妹說,請為我祈禱,因為我們需要他們的代禱。而死亡也無法阻止我們繼續身為教會的一員。

 

羅馬書 Romans 8:38-39
38因為我深信:無論是死亡,是生活,是天使,是掌權者, 是現存的或將來的事物,是有權能者,
39是崇高或深遠的勢力,或其他任何受造之物,都不能使我們與天主的愛相隔絕,即是與我們的主基督耶穌之內的愛相隔絕。

 

 

2. even the bad person as Jesus said in

即使是耶穌在路加福音書當中提到的不好的財主,也關心還活在世上的家人。

 

路加福音 Luke 16:27-28
27那人說: 父親! 那麼就請你打發拉匝祿到我父家去,
28因為我有五個兄弟,叫他警告他們,免得他們也來到這痛苦的地方。

 

3.the souls pray to god.
已離世的靈魂仍會向主祈禱。

 

若望默示錄 Revelation 6:9-10
9當羔羊開啟第五個印的時候,我看見在祭壇下面,那些曾為了天主的 話,並為了他們所持守的證言,而被宰殺者的靈魂,
10大聲喊說: 「聖潔而真實的主啊!你不行審判,不向世上的居民為我們的血伸冤,要到幾時呢?」

 

 

praying for the dead does not mean we can sent him to paradise. God is the judge, and actually the last judgment did not happened yet. but we have hope. we do not know where is the soul of our dead relative. but even if he is feeling the hell we pray to god to give him some release . like we go to visit our relative who is bad and is in prison. we do not take him out, just give him some comfort. the same is our prayer. we send to him by God some love and mercy which is from god.
every Saturday is dedicated to pray for the dead.
we pray for the dead in the church in every liturgy.
and many other times. see our chapter about life after death.

 

為亡者祈禱並不表示我們能夠讓他們上天堂。神是最終的審判者,而事實上最後的審判尚未來到。但我們擁有希望。我們並不知道過世親友的靈魂在何方,但即使他感覺像在地獄中,我們仍然祈求神賜予他一些安慰。如同我們去訪視一位因為作惡而入獄的親友,我們無法將他帶離監獄,但可以給他一些安慰。祈禱也是如此。透過神,我們傳送給他一些愛,和來自神的憐憫。

 

教會的每個週六都是獻給亡者的,並為他們祈禱。每次聖禮儀,我們也都在教會中為亡者祈禱。還有其他許多時候……
