英天主教組織創「做愛前禱文」
【本報訊】英國一個天主教組織出版書籍，鼓勵教徒夫婦在做愛前一同唸出特設的禱文，目的是「淨化意圖」。
旨在「淨化意圖」
倫敦公教真理學會出版了這本厚六十四頁的書籍，鼓勵新婚夫婦唸出特別整理的「做愛前禱文」，旨在「淨化」他們的「意圖」，令他們明白夫婦間的性行為並非出於私利及享樂主義。書中亦刊載合乎婚姻及家庭生活每個階段的禱文，例如是訂婚、計劃生育、懷孕、照顧孩子及年老父母。書中也備有關於婚姻及家庭意義的天主教教義，提倡婚姻必須專一及長久，而且譴責墮胎行為。
澳洲新南威爾士省的警員則獲發特別設計的《聖經》，在宗教上給予他們指引。該《聖經》內有專為警員而設的禱文，以及關於道德、服務、誠實、領導、憂傷、罪惡及寬恕的文本。

Roman Catholic couples are being encouraged to pray together before they have sex.
A book published by a prominent Church group invites those setting out on married life to recite the specially-composed Prayer Before Making Love.
It is aimed at ‘purifying their intentions’ so that the act is not about selfishness or hedonism.
Message: The Roman Catholic church encourages couples to pray before sex to remind themselves that intercourse is a selfless act, not driven by hedonism
The prayer, which appears in the Prayer Book for Spouses, implores God ‘to place within us love that truly gives, tenderness that truly unites, self-offering that tells the truth and does not deceive, forgiveness that truly receives, loving physical union that welcomes’.
