靈修片語 -- 認識祢真好（見證篇）雅各伯宗徒提醒我們：「祈求時要有信心，決不可 懷疑，因為懷疑的人，就像海裏的波濤，被風吹動，翻 騰不已。這樣的人，不要妄想從主那裏得到什麼。」 （雅1:6-7）我們來看看這位2022年進入國語組慕道班 的一位姊妹，以她與主耶穌相遇的經驗，來見證雅各伯 宗徒的這句教導。 【 起初我是從我先生的口裡得知道耶穌，他把聖經閱讀得很透徹，自從他開始看聖經後，就很少與我發生爭執了。他認為聖經教導我們首先要關愛自己的家人，那時我便意識到這肯定是個很好的信仰。後來我的一位親戚加 入了教會，她告訴我要祈禱，祈求耶穌，求什麼就會得什麼，她所祈求的基本都應驗了。 我接納了她的意見，開始嘗試祈求耶穌。第一次是我大兒子申請加拿大的高中學位。那時我們還在國內，那所高中每年在國內只招收兩位男生，競爭比較激烈，於是我就祈求耶穌，還答應如果我兒子被取錄了，我就會來跟隨祂...Posted: May-05-2023 -

靈修片語 -- 透過聖經，在天主面前反省、懺悔經朋友介紹，參加了很特殊的聖經研習，不同於以往聖言「分享」，而是聖言「反省」。經過默想聖經與生活反省，發現聖經處處光照著自己的軟弱及不足。 舉例 1：聖詠集第五十五篇 (54) 第 13 節 「若是我的仇人辱罵我，我還可容忍；若是惱恨我者欺凌我，我尚可退隱；」我的反省是：我其實無法容忍， 更難退隱。總是想與對方講理。我需要嘗試改變與人爭辯的態度。反省完畢。 舉例 2：瑪竇福音第六章 第 24 節「沒有人能事奉兩個主人：他或是要恨這一個而愛那一個，或是依附 這一個而輕忽那一個。你們不能事奉天主而又事奉 錢財。」一位教友的反省是：我必須賺錢養家， 照顧兒女...Posted: Apr-28-2023

Understanding the Mystery of LifeLife is a path, a pilgrimage; it is a journey we walk with the Lord and with others. Watch Archbishop Leo’s homily from the Third Sunday of Easter: Mystery of LifePosted: Apr-23-2023 -
靈修片語 - 耶穌真實臨在於聖體聖事中在最後晚餐中，耶穌建立了聖體聖事。關於聖體聖事，天主教教理說 : 「我們的救主，在祂被出賣的那一夜，在最後晚餐中，建立了祂體血的感恩祭禮（彌撒），使十字架的祭獻得以永留於後世」，就是說耶穌真正地、真實地親臨於聖體聖事中陪伴著我們。 彌撒是真實的耶穌基督的聖死與復活，是真實的耶穌基督在加爾瓦略山所受的苦難。 耶穌在最後晚餐中也親口說 ; 「這是我的身體將為你們而犧牲，這是我的血將為你們而傾流。」 我們知道天主的話是有效力的。 依撒意亞先知書言明 : 從天主口中發出的言語，不能空空地回到天主那裡 ; 反之，它必行天主的旨意，完成天主派遣它的使命。在創世紀中記載：天主說有光，就有了光。天主說地上要有生物就有了生物。 那麼耶穌是誰？耶穌是天主的第二位。 信經中亦清楚指出，祂是出自天主的天主，出自光明的光明，出自真天主的真天主。 耶穌的話也不能空空的返回到耶穌那裡，所以在聖經中我們看到，當耶穌對狂風暴雨講，平息了吧，風就停了。耶穌對瞎眼的人說開了吧...Posted: Apr-21-2023

靈修片語 - 慈悲主日今 年 4月 16日 是救主慈悲主日。 1931 年，耶穌開始顯現給聖女傅天娜，向她啟示祂的慈悲。耶穌也要求人們信賴祂無限的慈悲， 投奔到祂仁慈的懷抱， 以得到豐富的愛和聖寵。最能體驗到天主慈悲的是修和聖事。 在這一聖事中，我們的任何罪過都可以得到天主無條件的寬赦，而我們唯一要做的，只是謙卑認罪、懺悔己過、信賴祂的仁慈。 耶穌對聖女傅天娜說 :“女兒，當妳去辦告解，來到我這慈悲的泉源時， 從我聖心流出的聖血及聖水， 必會注入妳心靈，使妳的靈魂更崇高尊貴。妳每次去辦告解時，要懷著無限的信賴，把自己完全沉浸在我的慈悲中，好讓我把豐沛的恩寵傾注在妳心靈。要知道，當妳來到告解亭時，是我親自在那裡等候妳。 我只是隱藏在神父之中， 然而是我親自在妳的靈魂內工作。 靈魂的罪過與天主的慈悲， 在這裡相遇。要告訴所有的靈魂，他們只能用信賴的寶瓶...Posted: Apr-14-2023

靈修片語 - 你是否猶太人的君王？你說的是。耶穌不單是猶太人的君王，更是普世的君王。祂的王國是真理與生命、是神聖與恩寵、是公義、愛及和平的王國。祂是一位好的、溫良的君王，祂照顧我們靈魂的安好。祂因愛而來到世上，亦因愛而死亡。 耶穌明知等待祂的是出賣、離棄和十字架，而仍然前往耶路撒冷。耶穌騎在驢駒上來到耶路撒冷，為帶出一個和平的象徵及實現匝加利亞之預言（9 ： 9）。祂以和順、謙卑之心來到聖城。祂戰勝罪惡，並給祂的子民帶來平安。 耶路撒冷人準備好迎接他們的救世君王。他們有些人把斗篷鋪在路上，其他的人把折下來的樹枝鋪撒在地上。前行後隨的群眾不斷地叫喊說：「賀三納於達味之子！因上主之名而來的，當受讚頌！賀三納於至高之天！」（瑪 21:9）但他們很少人意識到幾天之後，他們會大喊：「釘死他！釘死他！」 耶穌到來帶給我們上主的王國。祂是真正的王...Posted: Mar-31-2023
