Pope Benedict's XVI's 1st Public Greeting
4/19/2005
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
After the great Pope, John Paul II, the Lord Cardinals have elected me, a simple, humble worker in the Lord's vineyard. I am consoled by the fact that the Lord is able to work and act with insufficient instruments and, above all, I rely on your prayers.
In the joy of the risen Lord, confident of his permanent help, let us go forward. The Lord will help us. Mary, his Most Holy Mother, is on our side. Thank you.
Just to share with you all that I am pregnant again and the expected date of delivery will be in late November. These weeks, I am suffering from morning sickness and feel very uncomfortable.
I am very thankful to God to give me this child which I have longed for some time. Therefore, I am planning to name this child which is related to the gift from God.
On the other hand, I am also struggling whether I should join the chorus of my church at this moment. My god-mum is a member of the chorus and I am also very interested in joining. However, my physical condition may not permit me to have practice for nearly two hours after Sunday Mass.
In addition, my 堂區 is not the nearest church from my home. Last week, I went to the nearest church to attend the Mass and met an ex-colleague. She is a member of the 家教會 of 主日學 and seems very active there. She thought that the ties of 教友 are very close and welcomed my family to join that church.
I agree with jk67jk that you should consult doctor asap to find out if there is any problem. You can ask your family doctor to refer a specialist doctor for you.
Regarding 信德的問題, I also had struggle these weeks. I read from other discussion topics that many bk mums go for a checking 'OSCAR' for 唐氏綜合症. I discuss with my husband who thinks it unnecessary. I admit I have 羊群心理 and want to go for the checking. But my second thought is, 'what if the checking result is that the probability of the infant having 唐氏綜合症 is high?' I can do nothing as I cannot do any kind of artificial abortion.
My husband thinks that God is always giving the best to us. So the baby should be ok and he tells me to believe God...
What I am doing now is to rest more and eat as far as possible (I do pray for holy spirit to help and He does!!).
他們還會攻擊其他的基督教派的﹐不單單指向天主教；他們正式是"逢解經與他們不相同的" - 必反！！

其實有很多眼光不狹窄的基督徒, 確是以交流的心態想了解多一些的。 信仰是求真的！
