29.  3月22日靜默－白孟德神父（Fr. Charles Belmonte Lopez）語錄-譯者:林豪

My God, increase my faith. Each time I approach you, I experience the desire to clearly understand your presence among us. My faith is weak, so help my unbelief not to pass by with distracted ears when you speak to my heart.

我的天主，求祢增加我的信德。每次我接近祢時，我都會體驗到想要清楚地瞭解，祢臨在於我們中間的渴望。我的信德軟弱，所以當祢對我的心說話時，請輔助我的不信，不要分心走意。

Lord Jesus, after meditating at your side on how I can love you through my neighbor, I thank you for teaching me to love the person I love the least, but also to love the one who needs it most.

主耶穌，在祢身邊默想，我如何藉由我的鄰人來愛祢之後，我感謝祢教導我去愛那我最不想愛的人，但也要愛那最需要的人。

Jesus, today I offer you my sins and my weakness, because I am your debtor. I know that you want to forgive me. That is why I come with great confidence. I trust in your merits and in your death. I want to be an instrument of your forgiveness. Give me this grace.

主耶穌，今天我把我的罪和軟弱奉獻給祢，因為我是虧負祢的人，我知道祢想要原諒我。這就是為什麼我帶著莫大的信心來到這裡，我仰賴著祢的功勞和祢的死亡。請給我這份恩典，我想成為祢寬恕的工具。

It would be wonderful if we could take a few hours one of these days of Lent to make a retreat, in which we could dedicate ourselves without haste to open ourselves to what God wants to tell us. It is a matter of getting used to silencing our own voice to be able to hear God's voice.

如果我們能在四旬期的這段時間裡，能花幾個小時做一次避靜，我們可以毫不猶豫地奉獻自己，接受天主想要告訴我們的事情，那就太好了。這是一種方法，習慣於沉靜我們自己的聲音，以便能夠聽到天主的聲音。
