靈修片語 - 論德行之樹天主說：人靈就彷彿一棵靠愛而生長的樹，如果沒有愛，就不能存活下去。 的確，人靈若沒有真實、成全愛德的神性之愛，就不會結出生命的果實，只會結出死亡之果。因此，這棵樹的根，亦即人靈的情感，必須栽植並存留在這「真正自我認知」的圓圈內。這個對他自己的認知是與「我」（天主）相連結的，我是無始無終者，如同圓圈一樣，當你繞圓周旋轉時，你無法找到它的起點與終點，然而你卻總是在圓圈內。 對他自己的認知及對我的認知，就栽種在真謙遜的土地上，謙德的土地一如圓圈那麼的廣闊，意思是說：認識他自己是以認識我為終結。反之，若一個人開始認知自己，而不以認識我為終結，勢必以惶恐為終點。那麼，圓圈就不能稱為無始無終的。 故此，這棵愛德之樹是由謙德吸收養份，由樹旁生出一條「真正明辨」的樹枝...Posted: Sep-11-2026 -

靈修片語 - 天主真正的存在人生猶如一場戲，每一個人都是戲裡的主角，如何演好自己的戲份至為重要。聽到朋友的先生車禍過世，實在震驚，回顧與她們家交往的過程，歷歷在目。朋友於四年前選擇皈依天主教信仰，祈求天主帶領她與孩子們一起度過最艱難的時刻。很多教友在遭遇到痛苦中時懷疑，亦於苦難中體驗到：「不要害怕」，慢慢走出死陰幽谷。 去過默主哥耶的教友，多數會感受到了奇蹟及「天主真正的存在」。我領洗後，祂讓我到外商銀行工作，享受高薪厚職 ；之後又讓我跌入市井小民的生活中，落差極大。1984年祂邀請我去參加世界青年日，到了祂的家鄉，祂讓我體驗到祂真的存在 ：祂的誕生、宣講、苦難、死亡與復活，還有湖泊裡的伯多祿魚。看著荒廢的遺跡，腦中想著「提洛、漆冬」荒野之地，我心中說：「我來了，我看見了」。結束朝聖之旅後，我下了決心，進了修院...Posted: Jun-26-2026

靈修片語 - 焦慮之事託於天主耶穌說：「吾子！你當讓我處理你的事情，我知道甚麼事為你有益處。你所想的，總是按著人的私心；你所覺得的，也是按照人的性情。」 忠僕說：「吾主！你說得真對。你在我身上，比我自己還要操心。一個人不全心依靠你，必定站不穩。吾主！只希望我的意願一直向你，恆定不移，關於我的事，你不論怎樣安排都好。因為無論怎麼安排，全是為我益處。所以你願意我在幽暗中，我讚美你；你磨難我，我仍讚美你。」 耶穌說：「吾子！你若願意與我同行，就當存著這樣的心。就是：或為我受困苦，或為我享安樂，你該一樣勇敢。你該甘心忍受貧窮，如同甘心享富貴一樣。」 忠僕說：「吾主！凡你願意我忍受的，為愛你的緣故...Posted: Jun-19-2026

靈修片語 - 勤領聖體大有神益忠僕說：「主！天主！你既然為窮人預備了甘美的聖筵」（詠66:11），我就到你台前，為得你的神恩，並歡喜地赴這聖筵。凡我所能盼望的事情，全在你的身上；你是我的救贖，我的盼望，我的勇氣，我的光榮。我現今願意熱切恭敬地領受你，盼望把你領到我家來，如同匝凱一樣受你的降福，列在亞巴郎的子孫中。我的靈魂渴望你的聖體；我的心盼望同你結合。 只要把你交給我，那就夠了；你以外，任何事物也不能安慰我。沒有你，我不能存在；你不降來看顧我，我不能生活。所以我該屢次到你台前，領受這生命的良藥，唯恐缺了這天上的食糧，我要半途而廢，不能前行。慈善的耶穌！你往日教導人，治癒人們的各樣疾病，你曾說過：「叫他們空著肚子回去，我很不忍...Posted: Jun-12-2026

靈修片語 - 慶祝香港教區成立80 週年各位主內的兄弟姐妹， 耶穌升天前對宗徒們說：「天上地下的一切權柄都交給了我， 所以你們要去使萬民成為門徒， 因父及子及聖神之名給他們授洗， 教訓他們遵守我所吩咐你們的一切。 看！我同你們天天在一起，直到今世的終結。」（瑪28 ： 18-20） 從宗徒們開始，一代又一代的基督徒，一代又一代的傳教士，回應了基督的召叫，把福音傳遍了世界。香港教區得以在80 年前成立，也就是傳教士們辛勤耕耘的結果。在香港教區成立後，當地教會逐步地成長與茁壯。更在「邁向光輝的十年」的計劃裡，又特別強化了平信徒的培育。 我在服務你們的過程中，深深感受到，香港教區不只培育了你們的信仰，也培育了你們成為一位傳教士。隨著移居加拿大，你們不只追求自己有更好的生活，也把信仰的熱誠與活力帶給本地的教會。我們多倫多總教區目前有五間華人堂區，這是一個很好的見證。我們為此而感恩，也為此而祈求天主繼續的降福我們。 今年，在慶祝香港教區成立80 週年之際...Posted: Jun-05-2026 -

靈修片語 - 何謂成全的聖德？真正的成全的聖德，是聖神已刻在義人心中的愛之法律，亦即基督三番五次在福音中所叮囑的「棄絕自己」及「釘死內在的人性」，這就是神聖師傅耶穌所稱的「柔和與輕鬆的軛」；也是祂以言以行時常勸勉我們的。確實，基督以所行所教的一切，指引我們升天之路。 基督信徒要不斷提醒自己：不僅要企盼聖德，更要追求成全的聖德。基督信徒務須與所有惡的傾向搏鬥，使感官屈屬於理智權下，並從根拔除各種不管不顧、自我中心、自私自利的惡習，所有惡的傾向都是修德成聖的絆腳石。 基督信徒首先要認識自己最惡劣和最顯著的毛病，接著採取不倦不休、持續不斷的途徑，及快速堅決的心態，著手這場自我成長的戰爭，否則，是不可能成功的；因為這不朽的榮冠只賜與勇敢改變自己的人。 我們經常要面對許多的鬥爭，最難的鬥爭是面對自己的改變，許多時候我們對自己妥協，不意識到自己需要改變某些私慾偏情。實際上，為獲得成全的聖德的最佳途徑，必須棄絕那些足以阻礙全心、全靈、全意愛天主的事物，這種愛就是成全的聖德。 基督信徒應以更新的心思變化自己...Posted: May-29-2026
