教宗公開接見:信德的燈要靠祈禱的油來延續光亮

教宗公開接見:信德的燈要靠祈禱的油來延續光亮

教宗主持公開接見活動  (Vatican Media)

By Vatican News

Apr 16 2021

教宗方濟各在週三公開接見的要理講授中重申了祈禱的重要性:信德的氣息乃是祈禱;當我們學會祈禱時,信德也會隨之成長。

(梵蒂岡新聞網)教會蒙召世世代代傳承「信德的燈與祈禱的油」。因此,教會的首要之務是「祈禱及教導子民祈禱」。教宗方濟各4月14日在週三公開接見活動中如此表示,並在要理講授中強調了信德與祈禱之間的重要關係。

教宗說:「信德的燈帶來光亮,讓事物能確實按照它們的現況得到妥善整頓,但是信德的燈只能靠祈禱的油來延續,否則就會熄滅。缺少這盞燈的光,我們將看不見福傳之路,甚至看不見深信不疑的道路;我們將看不見那些有待親近和服務的弟兄姊妹的面容;我們將無法照亮我們團體相聚的房間……。缺乏信德,一切都會崩毀;而少了祈禱,信德將會熄滅。信德與祈禱相輔相成,別無它法。因此,教會是共融的家庭與學校、是信德和祈禱的家庭與學校。」

「教會內的一切源自於祈禱,而一切又都因祈禱而成長。」教宗強調了這一點,並且舉例說明:某些教會團體內部一致同意推動改革,卻沒有祈禱,光是討論。教宗指出,「聖神啟發前行,而祈禱向聖神敞開大門。教會內的改變若是缺乏祈禱,就不是教會的改變,而是團體的改變。敵人想要打擊教會,它的第一步就是使得教會的泉源乾涸,阻止教會祈禱,並作出其它一些提議」。

《路加福音》記載,耶穌提出了一個發人深省的問題:「人子來臨時,能在世上找到信德嗎?」教宗進而問道,人子來臨時,「會不會只找到那些有如信仰企業家的團體,找到那些一切有條不紊、樂善布施的組織,或者祂將會找到信德?

事實上,耶穌的這個提問是緊接著一個有關恆心祈禱的比喻而來的。因此,「只要祈禱的油依然存在,教會真信德的燈就會一直在地上點亮」。教宗指出,祈禱推進信德和我們貧乏、軟弱和滿是罪愆的生活。而我們祈禱時,不可鸚鵡學舌,卻要發自內心地祈求。

聖人聖女以生命為祈禱的力量作出了見證。他們也會遇到困難,「甚至經常遭到反對」,但是他們總是能從慈母教會取之不盡的井裡汲取祈禱的力量,滋養信德的火苗。教宗說:「聖人在世俗的眼裡往往無足輕重,但是他們其實是支持世界的人。他們靠的不是金錢、權勢、傳媒等武器,而是靠祈禱的武器。」

接著,教宗提到許多基督徒都有的經驗:基督徒通常是從父母親、祖父母的身教上學會祈禱。或許在睡前,父母親會傾聽兒女的心聲,並在給出福音所啟發的建言。日後在成長的道路上,我們遇見祈禱的見證人和老師,幫助我們培養這些在兒時埋下的祈禱種子。

「信德的衣衫」會隨著我們一起長大,而非僵硬不變。教宗指出,危機使人和信德有所成長,甚至可以說,「若是沒有危機時刻,就無法成長」。「信德的氣息乃是祈禱:當我們學會祈禱時,信德也會隨之成長。經歷了人生的某些階段後,我們會意識到,缺乏信德就會難以成事,以及祈禱是我們的力量」。

教宗不僅提到個人的祈禱,也談及他人的代禱。教宗表示,教會內的祈禱團體持續繁盛興旺。禮儀時節與團體祈禱伴隨著堂區的生活,有些基督徒感到蒙召以祈禱作為自己一天的主要活動。很多獻身於天主的人在隱修院和獨修地生活,那裡成了「在靈修方面發光發熱的中心」、「小小的綠洲」,而且也能在其中締造友愛共融、成為「教會和社會架構的生活細胞」。教宗由此念及「隱修生活在歐洲和其它文明誕生與成長方面扮演的角色」,因為「在團體中的祈禱和工作有助於推動世界前行」。- Vatican News
