主內真生命2015年4月第4週新聞

基督復活了！

 

我們繼續報導《主內真生命》於2014年12月12日至16日辦的避靜消息

特歐里歐神父一開始就說到，我們所參與的，是一場對抗邪惡的博鬥或戰爭、對抗黑暗的率領者和掌權者的屬靈勢力。他提醒我們，在這類戰鬥中，身為「同救贖者」及「護慰者」的聖母媽媽，是我們的保護。

翌日，華蘇拉在開始分享時便說：「上主前來，為的是要觸摸我們這顆不敬的心，且又遠離生命，現在我們在靈修上再次生存；我們原是罪惡的奴隸，而祂翻轉我們，使我們心甘情願地變成天主的奴僕。」她繼續說：「當天主的奴僕是有獎賞的；我們的獎賞將會是：成聖，以及有一個通向永生的結果。」她又說：「《主內真生命》──天主的召喚，把我們從罪惡中解救出來，並給我們機會去悔改和與天主建立和平。我們每個人活在世上都賦有一個使命。我們最主要的使命，就是愛天主、侍奉祂和彼此相愛，終生行善。

接著，若望神父講的主題是「合一」，他提到華蘇拉的話，並指出合一不只是教會的合一而已，也是指朋友、家人，以及在這世上各式各樣的人之間的合一。他把重點放在家人間的合一，因為在今日這甚為重要。魔鬼似乎經由家庭所帶來的創傷中，找到了摧毀人們生命的著力點。人們誤入歧途，紛紛跑到靈媒、算命仙、新紀元運動和錯謬書籍等等來尋求援助，想用一些「三秒膠」來解決問題。他強調不合一是從家庭開始的：當家庭破碎；當父母反對子女，或子女覺得被父母拒絕。

然後，尼可拉斯神父帶來令人振奮的消息，墨西哥市的紅衣主教，把一座位於瓜達露貝大殿附近，17世紀時建造的聖亞納堂，贈送予墨西哥市的東正教教區，好使東正教也能立足在聖母曾經顯現的地方。每年的耶穌聖體聖血慶日，人們都會從聖亞納堂開始遊行，經過大街小巷直到瓜達露貝大殿。就在今年六月，墨西哥市的羅馬天主教樞機主教，將會和東正教的宗主教在聖亞納堂共祭，彌撒後並一起開始遊行的典禮。

我們感謝讚美天主，因為祂賜下了展現合一的美好記號。下週，我們將為大家報導北歐國家的消息。

 

 

 

We continue with news from the TLIG Retreat in Mexico which took place between 12-16 December, 2014

Fr. Teofilo started his talk by saying that our fight or struggle is against the spiritual forces of evil, the Sovereignties and the Powers of darkness.  He reminded us that Our Lady, Co-redemptrix and Advocate is our protection in this spiritual battle.

The next day, Vassula opened her speech by saying: ‘Τhe Lord came to touch our indecent heart and from non-being, we now exist once more; from being slaves to sin, He has turned us around to willingly become slaves to God.’ She went on: ‘There is a reward in being the slaves of God; our reward will be: sanctification and an ending that leads into Eternal Life.’ She continued: ‘The Calling of God, TLIG, liberates us from sin and gives us a chance to repent and reconcile with God. Each of us on this earth has been given a mission. Our primary mission is to love God, to serve Him and love one another, doing good for the rest of our lives’.

Fr. John then spoke on the subject of unity. He referred to Vassula’s words, and indicated that unity is not just about unity of the Church, but also about unity of friends, unity of the family and unity in all its different forms across the world. He focused on unity of the family because that is important today. The demons seem to find an entrance into people’s lives through family trauma and people look for help in the wrong place – to mediums, fortune tellers, New Age activities and wrong books, while looking for a ‘quick fix’, wanting their problems to be gone in a flash. He emphasized that disunity begins in the family: when the family is broken apart, when the parents are against the children, or when the children feel rejected by the parents.

Later, Fr. Nicholas started his talk by sharing some good news: the Cardinal of Mexico City has given the Church of St Anne, a beautiful 17th century church near the Basilica of Guadalupe, to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in Mexico City so that the Orthodox may have a presence in the area of the apparition of Our Lady.  Every year, on the Feast of Corpus Christi, the procession begins from the Church of St. Anne and marches through the streets to the Basilica of Guadalupe.  This year, in June, the Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church of Mexico City will be at St. Anne’s with the Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Church to have Liturgy together and to start the procession together.

we praise and thank God for this beautiful sign of unity. Next week we will bring you news from the Scandinavian countries.
