我渴望做的人 - Mother Teresa



 

雖然我不是教徒,沒有特別信仰,但讀到聖方濟和平禱詞, 令我感動,也是我渴望成爲的自己:我把主要的内容摘要如下:

那裡有仇恨,讓我去廣施友愛,
那裡有侮辱,讓我去散播寬赦;
讓我把信心給疑慮的人,把希望給沮喪的人;
讓我成為驅逐黑暗的光明,化除痛苦的喜樂。
寧安慰人,不圖人安慰;
寧了解人,不求人了解;
寧愛人,不計人愛!
使我深信:
給予了才有收獲,
原諒了才蒙寬赦,
犧牲到死才得永生!
使我能施予而不計代價;
奮戰而不在意受傷;
辛勤而不尋求安逸;
工作而不求回報;

在有仇恨的地方,播送友愛;
在有冒犯的地方,給予寬恕;
在有分裂的地方,促成團結;
在有疑慮的地方,激發信心;
在有錯謬的地方,宣揚真理;
在有失望的地方,喚起希望;
在有憂傷的地方,散怖喜樂;
在有黑暗的地方,放射光明。

神聖的導師!
願我不求他人的安慰,只求安慰他人;
不求他人的諒解,只求諒解他人;
不求他人的愛護,只求愛護他人;
因為在施予中,我們有所收穫;
在寬恕時,我們得到寬恕;
在死亡時,我們生於永恆。

Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred let us sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
Prayer for Generosity – St. Ignatius of Loyola
Lord, teach me to be generous,
to serve you as you deserve,
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to look for any reward,
save that of knowing that I do your holy will.

這首詩詞,讓我想起德蘭修女的話:
