Pope Francis: Let us entrust the desires of our heart and our needs to Mother of God
教宗方濟各於2014年元旦日(亦即天主之母節及第47屆世界和平日)的彌撒講道中談及天主給梅瑟的祝福詞，這充滿希望的話語並非出於虛幻或幼稚的想像，而是建基於天主的祝福。教會把這希望的訊息帶給我們，使我們得到天主的護佑。這祝福所包含的希望訊息在天主之母瑪利亞身上實現了。教宗呼籲我們把信德的旅程、內心的渴望、我們的需要和全世界的需求託付給聖母。 閱讀全文：教宗方濟各將全世界的需求託付於天主之母 On New Year’s Day 2014, Pope Francis said in his homily for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God that the prayer of blessing which God gave to Moses are words of hope, which is not illusory or naïve, but has its foundation in God’s blessing. “The message of hope contained in this […]

Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God
今天的福音描述牧羊人看見瑪利亞、若瑟和在馬槽中的嬰兒以後，光榮讚美天主。 在當時的社會，牧羊人是被排斥的一群。但天主偏偏先派天使給他們傳報喜訊。他們看見眼前的一切和天使所說的一樣，便相信了。我們有他們那份信德嗎？我們會否相信誕生在馬槽中的嬰兒是救主嗎？ 教會在今天慶祝天主之母節。天主揀選了瑪利亞作聖子的母親，為此聖母跟天主聖三有著獨特的關係：「童貞瑪利亞以心身承受了天主聖言，為世界帶來了生命，因此被認以一種緊密而不可解除的聯繫和祂相契，她享有天主聖子之母的崇高任務和殊榮，並因此而成為聖父特例寵愛的女兒、聖神的宮殿。」(教會憲章 Lumen Gentium, 53) 耶穌出生後，聖母雖然未明白發生的事有什麼意思，但她把一切默存心中，反覆思量。我們也該效法聖母，在生活中多加反省，領悟天主的啟示。 In today’s gospel, the shepherds praised God after having found Mary, Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. Shepherds were considered outcasts by the society at that time. Yet God first sent angels to inform them of the Good News. They believed once they saw this. Do […]

The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth
這段福音發生在天使向瑪利亞報喜訊，瑪利亞答允跟隨天主旨意之後；雖然她知道依撒伯爾素不生育，而且上了年紀，但充滿信德的她深信天使的話，立刻前往探望已懷孕的依撒伯爾。 二人見面時，聖神的臨在是如此明顯：還在母親腹中的洗者若翰感覺到救主和聖母的接近，即歡喜踴躍；依撒伯爾也謙恭地問候瑪利亞，稱她為「我主的母親」，即使瑪利亞本來是比她年輕的親人。 聖神被形容如風：風隨意向那裏吹，你聽到風的響聲，卻不知道風從那裏來，往那裏去(若3:8)。我們有否開放自己，如依撒伯爾一樣，隨時接受聖神的感動呢？對於天主的旨意，我們又有否立刻以實際行動回應？ 這篇默想由生命恩泉文摘編輯小組撰寫，內容以下列文章為根據: Commentaries on the daily readings by Sacred Space, 彌撒福音釋義 – 將臨期第三週星期六 This bible passage happened after the angel Gabriel announced the birth of Jesus and Elizabeth’s pregnancy to Mary.

Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
雖然在十六世紀時已有方濟各會的傳教士到達拉丁美洲傳福音，但基督信仰為當時美洲中部的印第安人還是不太受歡迎。當地人拜偶像，甚至會舉行人祭。 在1531年12月9日，聖母在墨西哥城的台培亞的 (Tepeyac) 小山上顯現給一個57歲貧苦的印第安人；他名叫若望迪戈 (Juan Diego)，是當地少數的天主教徒。 為了令主教相信若望這個卑微的農民的說話，並給她建造聖堂，聖母行了數個奇蹟，包括在12月結霜的荒山上開滿了玫瑰和花朵，並在若望盛著花朵的斗篷外衣上，出然了聖母身披星星長袍，腳踏月亮，四周發光的聖像。若望患重病的叔父，也奇蹟地得到痊癒，還告訴若望醫好他的人——聖母——自稱為瓜達露佩。瓜達露佩聖母這名字由此而生。 這些奇蹟很快傳揚開去，在短時間內令六百萬印第安原住民領洗為信徒，令墨西哥成為一個天主教國家。基督的福音從那時起就在當地紮根，直到今日。 出現在斗篷外衣上的肖像，至今仍懸掛在瓜達盧佩聖母大殿內，供朝聖者瞻仰。教宗若望保祿二世把12月12日定為瓜達露佩聖母瞻禮，紀念這個聖母顯現的奇蹟。 天主透過聖母的顯現，令美洲的各民族感受到天主的愛，轉化了他們的心靈，然後透過他們把天主的愛與福音繼續傳揚開去。 Although there had been Franciscan missionaries ministering to the Mexican locals in the sixteenth century, Christianity was not that popular among the locals at first. The locals worshiped idols and even practiced human sacrifices. On December 9th, 1531, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a […]
