Hong Kong, China, Mar 10, 2010 / 01:36 am
About 3,000 catechumens will be received into the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Hong Kong. Two of their first Rites of Election were held this coming Sunday.
During his homily at one service in St. Francis Parish, Fides reports, Hong Kong Bishop John Tong spoke on the theme of living water, saying that constant prayer is the best way to receive the “living water” of Jesus.
He encouraged the catechumens to always reflect on the Word of God and to distance themselves from “all things that are incompatible with the faith.”
Only in this manner, he said, can Christians “get closer and closer to Christ and Our Heavenly Father, and bear witness to Jesus."
