02.善愛與行動
我想安然地愛你 (I want to love you without...)
I want to love you without clutching,
我想不恣意掠奪地愛你
appreciate you without judging,
不妄加評斷地欣賞你
join you without invading,
不侵犯隱私地與你同行
invite you without demanding,
不刻意企求地款待你
leave you without guilt,
不懷抱愧疚地離開你
criticize you without blaming,
不惡意苛責地規勸你
and help you without insulting.
以及不萌生羞辱地幫助你
If I can have the same from you, then we can truly meet and enrich each other.
若我也能有對等的回應，我們才算真正相遇並提昇彼此。
～薩提爾(Virginia Satir)〈Making Contact〉
和平禱詞 (Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
主啊！讓我做你的工具，去締造和平：
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
在有仇恨的地方，播送友愛；
Where there is injury,pardon.
在有冒犯的地方，給予寬恕；
Where there is doubt, faith.
在有疑慮的地方，激發信心；
Where there is despair, hope.
在有失望的地方，喚起希望；
Where there is darkness, light.
在有黑暗的地方，放射光明；
Where there is sadness, joy.
在有憂傷的地方，散佈喜樂；
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much.
神聖的導師！
seek to be consoled as to console,
不求他人的安慰，只求安慰他人；
not so much to be understood as to understand,
不求他人的諒解，只求諒解他人；
not so much to be loved,as to love,
不求他人的護愛，只求愛護他人；
for it is in giving that we receive,
因只有在施與中，我們有所收穫；
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
在寬恕時，我們得到寬恕；
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.
在死亡時，我們生於永恆。
～聖方濟亞西西(St. Francis of Assisi)

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It is never between you and them anyway.
你看，說到底，它是你和天主之間的事；它決非你和他人之間的事。

愛，是唯一的通行證
信心與安全感，無法建立在銀行存款上，
脖子掛了很多金項鍊的天使飛不動的…；
往天上的路，愛，是唯一的通行證...。
如果一直對以往的榮耀很自滿的時候，
你的胸腔腦袋裝滿滿的這個東西，
新的聲音、新的感受進不來，
你只是不斷溫習以前所累積的榮譽，那永遠進步不了！
信仰的改變使我體會天父的愛和祂賦予我的使命，
要用口、用心讚美祂，
用工作、用才藝獻給祂，一切榮耀歸於祂！
世俗紅塵給我的各種大師封號與尊稱，我絲毫不以為意，只視自己是祂的小小工具罷了。

勞工主保聖若瑟祈禱文
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of penance in expiation of my many sins;
榮福大聖若瑟，勞工的模範，望你為我求得聖寵，使我的工作，能補贖我眾多的罪過；
to work conscientiously by placing love of duty above my inclinations;
使我按良心工作，尊重職責，看輕偏向；
to gratefully and joyously deem it an honor to employ and to develop by labor the gifts I have received from God,
使我以知恩和喜樂的心情工作，善用天主所賜的才幹，大大展開天主所賜的恩典，作為我的榮幸；
to work methodically, peacefully, and in moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from it through weariness or difficulty to work;
使我保持井然有序、內心平靜、有所節制及堅韌耐心去工作，不因疲勞或困難而退卻；
above all, with purity of intention and unselfishness, having unceasingly before my eyes death and the account I have to render of time lost, talents unused, good not done, and vain complacency in success, so baneful to the work of God.
最重要的，是使我能以純正的意念和克己的心思工作，認清職責、避免耽誤時間、吝用才幹、忽略行善的機會及自滿於成功，以免損及上主的工作。
All for Jesus, all for Mary, all to imitate thee, O patriarch St. Joseph! This shall be my motto for life and eternity.
聖母、聖若瑟，願我所做的，全為耶穌，全靠聖母，效法你的善表。這就是我一生的箴言。阿們。
