教宗主持聖誕子夜彌撒:我們尋求出名,天主卻選擇無名者

教宗主持聖誕子夜彌撒:我們尋求出名,天主卻選擇無名者

教宗主持聖誕子夜彌撒  (Vatican Media)

By Vatican News

Dec 28 2021

教宗方濟各主持的聖誕子夜彌撒以宣報基督的誕生為開端。他在彌撒講道中强調,“天主不求力量和權力,只要求溫柔和內在的謙卑”。

(梵蒂岡新聞網)教宗方濟各12月24日晚上在聖伯多祿大殿主持了聖誕子夜彌撒,他在講道中談到馬槽前的牧羊人,表明天主沒有尋求高大威猛,而是選擇微小之路,為的是走近我們,“我們却按照世界的邏輯尋求偉大,甚至可能以祂的名義”。教宗然後又將目光轉向賢士們,邀請純樸的人和博學者努力走在同道偕行的道路上。

以下是教宗方濟各聖誕子夜彌撒講道全文:

黑夜中亮起了一道皓光。一個天使出現,上主的光耀環照著牧羊人,期待數百年的喜訊終於響起:“今天為你們誕生了一位救世者;祂是主默西亞”(路二11)。然而,天使後面的話著實令人詫异。他告訴牧羊人如何找到降臨人間的天主:“這是給你們的記號:你們將要看見一個嬰兒,裹著繈褓,躺在馬槽

裡”(12節)。看,這個標記就是嬰孩。全部信息都在此處:一個窮得不能再窮的嬰孩躺在馬槽裡。不再有光輝、閃耀和衆天使的合唱。只有一個嬰孩。

再沒有別的了,正如依撒意亞所預言的:“有一嬰孩為我們誕生了”(依九5)。

福音特別强調這一對比。在記述耶穌誕生時,從凱撒奧古斯都談起,他要求天下人登記,以顯示自己作為頭等皇帝的偉大。但福音馬上又把我們帶到白冷城,一個毫不起眼的地方:只有一個裹著繈褓的可憐嬰兒,周圍有一些牧羊人。天主臨在這裡,臨在微小之中。它給我們的訊息是:天主並不是高大威猛的,而是屈身於微小之中。祂選擇微小之路,為的是走近我們,觸動我們的心,拯救我們,讓我們回歸重要的事情。

弟兄姐妹們,停留在聖誕馬槽前,我們注視馬槽的中心:不要被美麗的燈光和裝飾品吸引,卻要默觀耶穌嬰孩。在祂的微小中蘊藏著天主的全部奧秘。我們要認出祂來:“嬰孩,祢是天主,天主聖嬰”。讓我們體驗一下這令人不解的奇事。掌管宇宙的那一位需要被抱在懷裡。祂創造了太陽,却需要被溫暖。作為

溫柔本身,却需要被呵護。無限的大愛却有一顆小小的心臟,在輕微地跳動著。永恒的聖言成了嬰孩,變得不會說話了。生命之糧也需要得到養育。世界的造物主成了無家可歸者。今天的一切都被徹底推翻:天主作為小孩子來到世界。祂的偉大在微小中顯示出來。

而我們——讓我們好好反省——我們懂得迎接天主的這種方式嗎?這是聖誕節的挑戰:天主啓示自己,但人們不理解祂。祂讓自己在世人眼中顯得微小,我們却繼續按照世界的邏輯尋求偉大,甚至可能以祂的名義。天主貶抑自己,我們却想登上寶座。至高者指向谦卑,我們却試圖外露。天主去尋找牧羊人,尋找無名者;我們却尋求出名,讓自己顯露。耶穌為服事而生,我們却花費數年時間追求成功。天主不求力量和權力,只要求溫柔和內在的謙卑。

我們要這樣向耶穌祈求聖誕的恩典——微小之恩。“主啊,求祢教導我們熱愛微小。求祢幫助我們瞭解這是通往真正偉大的道路”。但具體而言,如何接納微

小呢?首先我們要相信天主願意進入我們生活的小事,願意臨在日常生活中,例如我們在家裡、在家庭成員之間、在學校、在工作中所做的平常舉動。祂要在我們平凡的生活中成就不平凡的事。這是一個充滿希望的訊息:耶穌邀請我們重視並重新發現生活中的小事。如果祂與我們同在,我們還缺什麽嗎?因此,讓我們放下自己不曾偉大的遺憾。讓我們放下抱怨和垂頭喪氣,以及得不到滿足的貪婪!那個嬰孩的微小和帶來的驚奇:這就是訊息。

除此之外,耶穌不僅願意進入我們生活中的小事,也願意進入我們的微小:例如我們感到軟弱、脆弱、不足,甚至犯錯。弟兄姐妹們,如果你感覺像在白冷城那樣黑夜籠罩著你,如果你覺得周圍有一種冷漠的寒意,如果你內心的傷口在呼喊:“你算什麽,你一文不值,你永遠得不到想要的愛”,你如果有這種感覺,今夜天主作出回應並對你說:“我愛你本來的樣子。你的微小嚇不倒我,你的脆弱不會令我不安。為了你,我成了小孩子。為了成為你的天主,我做了你的兄弟。親愛的弟兄,親愛的姐妹,別害怕我,要在我身上發現你的偉大。我和你在一起,只要求你一件事:相信我,向我敞開心扉”。

接納微小也意味著,通過今天的弱小者擁抱耶穌。也就是,在弱小者身上愛祂,在窮人身上服事祂。他們最相似生來貧窮的耶穌。祂希望在他們身上得到尊榮。在這愛的夜晚,我們只害怕一件事,那就是傷害天主的愛,在以我們的冷漠輕視窮人時傷害了祂。他們是耶穌的寵兒,來日他們會在天上接待我們。一位詩人寫道:“沒有在這裡找到天堂的人,也會在那裡錯過天堂”(艾米莉·狄金森,《詩集》XVII)。為了不錯過天堂,我們現在就要照顧耶穌,在有需要的人身上撫慰祂,因為祂把他們視為自己。

讓我們再次看看聖誕馬槽,看到耶穌出生時被弱小者和窮人圍著。他們是牧羊人。他們是最純樸的人,也是最接近上主的人。他們找到了耶穌,因為他們“露宿守夜,看守羊群”(路二8)。他們在那裡工作,因為他們很窮,他們的生活沒有作息表,而是取决於羊群。他們無法按照他們想要的方式和地點生活,而是根據所照看的羊的需要來調節自己。耶穌出生在那裡,離他們很近,接近被遺忘的邊緣地區。祂來到人的尊嚴受考驗的地方。祂使受排斥的人重獲尊嚴,首先向他們顯示自己:他們不是有學問和重要的人物,而是在勞動的窮人。天主今夜降臨,以尊嚴填補工作的艱辛。這提醒我們以工作賦予人尊嚴,以及尊重人的工作是多麽重要,因為人是工作的主人,而不是工作的奴隸。在耶穌誕生的這一天,讓我們一起重複說:不要再有工作中的死亡!讓我們為此而努力。

讓我們最後一次注視聖誕馬槽,將我們的目光伸展到它的外圍,我們看到了賢士,他們遠道而來朝拜上主。我們看到並且明白,耶穌周圍的人都團結在一起:不僅有窮人、牧羊人,還有博學者和富有的人,賢士們。在白冷城,窮人和富人在一起,他們是像賢士那樣朝拜耶穌,又像牧羊人一樣工作的人。當耶穌處於中心時,一切都會融合在一起:那不是我們對耶穌的看法,而是祂,永生的主。那麽,親愛的兄弟姐妹們,讓我們回到白冷城,讓我們回歸源頭:即回歸信仰的本質、初愛、朝拜和愛德。看著遠道而來的賢士們,作為同道偕行的教會,旅途的教會,我們前往白冷城,在那裡,天主降生成人,使人分享祂天主的生命;在那裡,上主居於首位,受人朝拜;在那裡,弱小者占據了離祂最近的位置;在那裡,牧羊人和賢士以弟兄姐妹相待,超越了一切等級之分。天主使我們成為一個朝拜的、貧窮的和友愛的教會。這是至關重要的。讓我們回到白冷城。

去那裡對我們有益,跟隨聖誕的福音,其中有聖家、牧羊人、賢士:所有的人都在旅途中。兄弟姐妹們,我們出發吧,因為人生就是一場朝聖。讓我們起身,讓我們醒來,因為今晚亮起了一道皓光。它是柔和的光,提醒我們,因著我們的微小,我們是被愛的子女,光明之子(參見:得前五5)。兄弟姐妹們,讓我們一起歡喜吧,因為沒有人能熄滅這光,這是耶穌的光,從今夜起在世界上照耀。- Vatican News
