靈修片語 -- 求謙遜的禱文耶穌啊！當你在世作旅客時，你曾說：「跟我學吧！因為我是良善心謙的，這樣你們必要找到靈魂的安息。」全能的天國之主啊！看到你取了奴僕的形體屈尊就卑為你的門徒們洗腳時，我的靈魂得到了安息。我想到你教導我們實行謙遜的話：「我給你們立了榜樣，叫你們也照我給你們所做的去做。」主！我真的領悟了這些出自你良善謙虛之心的話，我要靠你的助佑來實行它們。 我要真正謙下，把我的意願放在我姊妹之下。我既不反對她們，也不追究她們是否有權命令我。我心愛的主啊！無人有權力命令你，然而你不僅服從榮福童貞聖母和聖若瑟，甚至還服從對你行刑的人。如今於聖體內，我看到你達到了空虛自我的巔峰。光榮的天地君王啊！你是何等謙遜，服從你所有的司鐸們，不論是愛你的，或不熱心甚至冷淡的……隨著他們的召喚，你從天廷降下，不論他們提早或延遲彌撒聖祭，你都在待命中…… 我心愛的主！隱藏在白色麵餅下的你看起來何等良善心謙...Posted: Oct-11-2024 -

靈修片語 -- 聖道明的一生及其創會經過聖道明約於公元一一七Ｏ年生在西班牙中北部的一個小村莊卡拉羅加，父母皆為貴族後裔。他的家庭是一個模範的聖家，除道明被列聖外，其母及一位兄長（亦是道明會士）也被列為真福，此外，另一位兄長亦是神父。道明從小在熱心信仰的家庭氣氛中成長；七歲時，父母送他到舅父神父那兒接受教育，道明的聖召種子從此萌芽。十四歲前往巴蘭霞接受文學（哲學）及神學教育，成為司鐸的候選者。廿四歲加入奧斯瑪教區主教座堂詠經團，不久晉陞成為詠經團司鐸。直到一二Ｏ三年，道明陪同奧斯瑪主教前往丹麥，途中路經法國南部，遇見異端猖獗，夜宿旅館，與異端教徒館主徹夜辯論道理，終於將館主皈化。此事在道明心中撒下了創立修會的種子。 有一件事是道明一生一個重要的日子，也是他新事業的開端，即一二Ｏ六年七月廿二日（瑪利亞瑪大肋納的節日），道明坐在方就（法國南部）北門外閱讀默想這位罪婦如何變成「宗徒們的宗徒」，此時也正是道明感覺傳教工作成就微薄而心中茫然不知所從之際。他祈求上主指導，並求聖母指示他該做什麼？在哪裡選擇他宗徒事業的中心？凝神間...Posted: Oct-04-2024

靈修片語 -- 默想死亡死亡的時刻來得很快，你該省察你的良心怎麽樣。今天你還是人，明天也許就不在人世上（加上： 2 · 63）。當你遠離了人的目光，人也就想不起你來了。哎！人心糊塗顽固，只顧眼前，不管將來。你該整肅你的思言行為，就如同今天要死一般。若你良心潔淨，你必定不怕死。躲避罪恶，比躲避死好多了。若你今天預備得不妥當，明天怎麽能預備得妥當呢？況且明天是個不可靠的日子，因為你有没有明天，怎麽能知道呢？ 我們不努力改過遷善，活大年紀有什麽益處呢？哎！活大年紀往往不但不能改毛病，反倒加增罪過。巴不得我們能在世上善活一天才好！有許多人回頭已經不省年數，但毛病卻改去不多。死固然可怕；但活大年紀也許更有危險。常想着死，天天預備善死的人，是有福的。若見别人死，就該想日後你也要走這條路...Posted: Sep-28-2024

靈修片語 -- 向聖體龕中的耶穌祈禱隱藏囚居在聖體龕中的天主 ！我每晚欣然來到你跟前，感謝你所賜予的恩寵，求你寬恕我今天所犯的過錯,使之逝去如夢...... 耶穌啊 ！假如我今天是忠信的，我將多麼快樂，但是，唉 ！往往在晚上我會難過，因為我覺得我本可以更為善用你的恩寵......如果我和你結合得更密切，對我的姊妹們更友愛，更加謙遜及棄己，那麼在祈禱中和你談話時，我就不會覺得難過了。然而，我的天主，我看到我的可憐，但並不因此而沮喪，我懷著信賴來到你跟前，想著 : 「不是健康的人需要醫生，而是有病的人。」所以求你醫治我，寬恕我。主，我要牢記 :「那多得恩赦的，應比其他人更愛你 ！」 我把我每一次心跳奉獻給你，作為許多愛情的行為和補贖，我將它們結合於你無限的功德。我神聖的淨配啊，求你作我靈魂的良醫，不願我的抗拒，在我內行動 ; 到最後，除了你的旨意...Posted: Sep-20-2024

靈修片語 -- 你們說我是誰?在斐理伯的凱撒勒雅境內，耶穌問門徒:「你們說我是誰?」今天,耶穌問我們每一個人同樣的問題。伯多祿回答說:「祢是基督」，意思是說祂是默西亞,永生天主之子，祂到來改變世界。你的答案是否也如此? 耶穌便開始教訓他們:「人子必須受許多苦,被長老、司祭長和經師棄絕,且要被殺害; 但三天以後必要復活。」祂當着眾人說這些話(谷 8 : 31)。因此,伯多祿說:「主,千萬不可!這事絕不會臨到你身上!」耶穌立刻制止他,說:「撒殫,退到我後面去!」 默西亞教導的方法就是要學習如何去愛。不是按我們的方法去愛，而是按天主愛世界的方式去愛世界。天主是如何去愛世界的呢? 天主創造了一個奇妙而又可愛的世界以顯示祂的愛。天主與那些能對祂所做的一切感恩的人分享祂的創造物。當亞當和厄娃因自私地把所有東西歸於自己，所以便失敗了，他們便失去所有無條件給予他們的東西。 但天主的愛是很特別的...Posted: Sep-13-2024

靈修片語 -- 信仰生活隨筆有多少教友能真心體會領聖體的美妙？領了聖體之後，又有多少教友會安靜下來，與聖體合而為一？ 前一陣子，有好幾次發現「聖體」被遺棄在地上，又或夾在歌書中。有一天，當我走上聖堂台階時，真不敢相信我見到的。由於好奇、我彎腰再看清楚，一種感覺立即浮現：「祢，怎麼會在這裡？」原來我看見的真是聖體孤零零、靜靜地被遺棄在聖堂大門外一個污穢的角落。 另外，有些教友不知道領完聖體之後要立刻放入口中。有一次，在中午十二時彌撒中，領完聖體後，聽到一位服務姊妹在通道與一位領了聖體並帶回座位的教友交涉。最終，服務姊妹 從這位教友手中取回了聖體。我不禁向這位姊妹豎起了大拇指（讚賞）。她說：「這不是第一次，已經遇到好幾次，教友帶著聖體回到座位！每次我都一路跟著他們並勸說：『將聖體放入口中』。勸說無效，我只能取回聖體，交給神父。」曾經...Posted: Jun-28-2024
