The responsibility of pastors to lead mature believers through theology and general studies

  I look at the clear sky and wonder and think of God. Looking at the sky, I confess that God's love is endless.

And as a priest, I experience great worth of joy, hope, and help for my neighbors. Today, I pray, study and work with confidence that my neighbors around me can change into God's people.

The Roman Catholic Church teaches that believers should be led using general studies(the worldly studies) based on the principles of theology as follows: May God be praised throughout everything today!

Confession Holy Mass Counseling and Priests

  After the confession and mass were carefully delivered at dawn, I blessed and consulted those who complained of pain. Saint Father John Maria Bianney was willing to listen to the confession and the appeals of believers in Mass and Pain during this hot summer. Listening to people as priests desperately needs patience and God's help. Jesus Christ, the God we confess as Lord, was also willing to listen to the complaints of the sick in pain. The priest as a counselor must listen to the appeals of suffering that believers say. Secularity teaches the art of listening well. Of course, such technology is helpful. But the priest should listen in the way Jesus Christ hears. Today, the head priest, whom I respect, made my educational background, career and contact information in the form of a business card. Believers in the parish, Gangdong-gu district, and Seoul are actively helping me to make confessions and consult with Eucharist at any time. The head priest encouraged me to consult with...
