坎塔拉梅薩樞機首場將臨期默想:死亡是通往永生的橋樑

聖座將臨期默想  (Vatican Media)

By Vatican News

Dec 9 2020

教宗府講道神師坎塔拉梅薩樞機為教宗和聖座人員帶領將臨期第一場默想,省思了死亡的意義,稱之為通往永生的橋樑。

(梵蒂岡新聞網)「求祢教導我們詳數年歲,使我們達到內心的智慧」(詠九十12)。教宗府講道神師坎塔拉梅薩樞機12月4日週五以《聖詠》的這句經文為主軸,展開當天的默想。他首先提起意大利第一次世界大戰時期的一首十言詩,指出當前新冠疫情下的世人也「有如秋天樹上的葉子」。世界的現況促使坎塔拉梅薩樞機在將臨期談論在人性脆弱中的堅定信德。

死亡的主題可以從兩個層面切入:一個關乎基督救世的死亡與復活,另一個涉及智慧。世人能在這兩個層面裡加以學習。首先,福音教導我們,死亡並非標誌出生命終結的一堵牆,卻是「通往永生的橋樑」。其次,就睿智的觀點來看,人類的死亡警惕世人善度生活。

坎塔拉梅薩樞機在將臨期的首場默想中,著重於智慧的觀點。熙篤會隱修士常提到的座右銘是「死亡的時刻」,或者「記得你終將一死」。舊約《智慧書》和新約福音蘊含了對於「人類終將一死」的廣泛省思。教會傳統,尤其是曠野教父,從其中汲取經驗。再者,教宗府講道神師提醒,效法基督也帶有警惕的意味:「清晨時分,要假設你不會活過今夜。夜幕一低垂,就不要大膽仰賴隔天的黎明。」坎塔拉梅薩樞機強調,默觀我們終會死亡的事實,有助於增進我們對「永生的信德」。

此外,作為方濟各加布遣會會士,坎塔拉梅薩樞機也邀請眾人從「死亡姊妹」身上多多學習,她在疫情期間給了我們許多功課。「當前的災難提醒我們,在規劃及決定未來方面,人類的意志多麼微不足道」。死亡終止了「人與人之間所有的差異和不公義的形式」,同時也鼓勵我們善度人生,不眷戀於塵世俗物。

多個世紀以前,死亡在歐洲的福傳上發揮了重要作用;今時今日,死亡也能對歐洲的再次福傳裨益良多。坎塔拉梅薩樞機引用一位現代心理學家的概念,指出每個人行動的根本,在於拒絕或否定死亡。這是出於恐懼的作為,但耶穌來,是為了「解救那些因死亡的恐佈,一生當奴隸的人」(希二15)。而「一個人需要感受到那恐懼,才能加以擺脫。耶穌來,是為了教導那些只知道肉身死亡的恐懼的人,告訴他們什麼是對永死的恐懼」。

坎塔拉梅薩樞機最後表示,耶穌藉由建立聖體聖事,親自預示了祂的死亡。在參與聖體聖事的過程中,我們能「慶祝我們自己的死亡,日復一日把自己的死亡獻給天父」。教宗府講道神師最後問道:我們還能想到怎樣善度生活的方式,勝過於把天主出於愛賜給我們的生命、出於愛奉獻出去呢?- Vatican News
