    對生活營的感想

    "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—

    his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen,

    being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

    「其實自從天主創世以來﹐祂所眼看不見的美善﹐

    即祂永遠的大能和祂為神的本性﹐都可憑祂所造的萬物辨認洞察出來﹐

    以致人無可推諉。」(Romans 1:20)

     

    我現在才開始感受到這話裡的真諦。

    人們總在奇怪﹐如何能證明天主真的存在呢﹖

    但其實我們日夜接觸的天然萬物﹐不就是最好的證明嗎﹖

    何以我們總是視若無睹呢﹖

     

    在過去數天的加東生活營裡﹐

    我完全擺脫了城市的煩囂喧鬧﹐

    跟清幽靜謐的大自然作了很親密的接觸。

     

    人類總是為自己創造的事物感到自豪﹐

    但當我享受著大自然的懷抱時﹐

    心裡真的想問﹕有甚麼帷幕比蔚藍的天空更美麗﹔

    有甚麼席墊比軟綿綿的青草更柔軟舒適﹔

    又有甚麼燈光比燦爛的陽光更耀眼溫暖呢﹖

    為何我以前總是那麼吝嗇﹐

    不肯把創造萬物的榮耀獻給天主﹐讚美祂﹐感謝祂呢﹖

     

    留在郊外、忘掉俗世的煩瑣事﹐

    只專心親近和體會天主的時候﹐

    那種心靈上的富足﹐是難以形容的﹐

    就像是找到世上最合適的目標和生活。

    正如神父所講﹕這就是 "a taste of heaven"

    我終於明白我這生渴求的﹐不會是物質的富足﹐

    而是靈魂的富足。

     

    曾幾何時﹐當聽見信徒們說類似的話時﹐

    我認為信仰不過是個心靈的寄託﹔

    空虛的心靈找到依託的地方﹐當然感到充實。

    我現在才明白﹐雖然這也算是一種依託

    (把靈魂及生命託付給天主)

    但這不是我所想,對現實的「逃避」﹐

    而是「見證」——見證天主的愛與偉大。

     

    "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;
    knock and the door will be opened to you.
    For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds;
    and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8)

     

    弟弟給了我上述引自《聖經》的語句﹐

    我照著試試看﹐如今它真的在我身上應驗了。

    我終於感受到親近天主的奇妙滋味。

    Oh wow Amy! I can truly tell God's grace from your sharing... =) So glad that you've been inspired by going to this year's GT! Yeah, I can't agree more regarding "how to verify the existence of God". We just have to open our eyes, look at the surroundings... The nature... Things as simple as an apple, no matter how genetic engineering can contribute to the "realness" of it, there's nothing more genuine than what the nature could offer. May your faith continue to grow with the guidance of the Holy Spirit! I can say (with great pleasure!!!), that you've gone way beyond me =)
