教宗在雅典主持感恩祭:悔改幫助我們超越存在的荒野

By Vatican News

Dec 8 2021

教宗方濟各在希臘的雅典為天主教會團體舉行感恩祭,鼓勵他們保持望德,因為如果我們為天主騰出空間,祂就始終與我們在一起。

 

(梵蒂岡新聞網)教宗方濟各12月5日下午在雅典音樂廳為當地天主教會團體主持了感恩祭,這是他在希臘第二天訪問的一項活動。為了遵守疫情防控措施的社交距離,大約2000名信友分別在兩個不同的大廳參禮。教宗於當天上午探訪希臘萊斯沃斯島上的難民和移民後,幾個小時前才返回雅典。

教宗在將臨期第二主日的彌撒講道中,對主日福音關於洗者若翰在荒野中呼喚人民悔改的事跡進行了省思。教宗闡明,荒野的圖像讓我們意識到得救之路並非始於世俗權力所在之處,雖然這是我們會渴求的地方,而得救卻從“荒野”、從“貧窮”和單純開始,矛盾的是,這個地方難以進入,而且危險。

然而,正是在空曠無際且乾旱的荒野中,“上主的光榮顯露出來”。這對於人類的期盼是一個驚喜,也是值得領會的一個美好訊息,因為上主看重微小和卑微的事物,要求我們內心貧窮,不驕傲,“一如荒野是貧瘠的那樣”。

洗者若翰在荒野中準備基督的來臨,宣講悔改的必要性。教宗指出,“就如當初那樣,如今天主將目光轉向悲傷和孤獨所占據的地方。我們在生命中能體驗到:我們在喝彩中和只顧自己的時候,祂往往無法來探訪我們;祂尤其在我們經歷考驗的時刻來探訪我們。在我們處於困境、給祂騰出空間的空虛時刻,以及我們存在的荒野中,祂來探訪我們”。

教宗表示,在我們的生活中,我們常常感到迷失在荒野中,“正是在那裡,上主讓我們感受到祂的臨在”,只要我們不驕傲,不認為單憑自己的能力就能解決問題,我們就能接納祂的臨在

天主“以親近、憐憫和溫柔的話語”來探望我們,若翰在荒野中的宣講傳達了這一訊息,那就是“天主沒有不願去探訪的地方”。天主進入我們的渺小,那是祂鍾愛的地方;天主進入我們的乾涸,那是祂想要解的渴。教宗向在場參禮信友强調,不要擔心自己的微小或是少數人團體,更重要的是“向天主和他人敞開心扉”。

教宗指出,洗者若翰在宣講中強調“悔改”,這在起初可能會讓我們感到不安,因為我們意識到改變我們的方式是多麼困難和沮喪啊,這是因為通常我們只從道德的角度來看待悔改,認為悔改“只是我們自己努力的結果”。

教宗說,我們的問題在於,認為一切都取決於我們自己。我們需要查看“悔改”的原意,它源自希臘文“metanoeίn” ,而希臘文也是《福音》書使用的文字。“metanoeίn”的字面意思是“超越思維”,因此“悔改”是要我們超越我們已經習慣的思考方式,超越我們慣常的思維框架。

教宗解釋道,這意味著應放棄我們的自負,或只考慮我們自己和我們做事的方式。“若翰勸勉我們悔改,邀請我們越過去,不要停留在同一個地方”,因為“現實情況是天主更偉大” 。

那麽,悔改就意味著懂得“天主始終臨在”,我們必須信賴祂,“因為祂就是我們的超越,我們的力量”。我們只需要向基督敞開大門,“讓祂進來在我們身上行祂的奇事”,“就如只需荒野和若翰的宣講,祂就能來到世界上那樣”。

最後,教宗祈求恩典,使我們都能相信“有了天主,事情就真的能改變”,因為“祂消除我們的恐懼,治癒我們的創傷,‘使乾地化為噴泉’(依四十一18)”。我們也要祈求望德的恩典,因為它“激發信德,喚起愛德”。“因為世界的荒野今天所渴求的正是希望”。- VaticanNews
