分享教宗所寫的美麗勵志詩文,
中文翻譯:
教宗方濟各寫道:
「河裡的水不喝自己的水;
樹木不吃自己的果實;
陽光不會照在自己身上;
花朵也不為自己散發出香味。
為他人而活,是大自然的法則。
我們生來是要互相幫助,
不管有多麼困難⋯⋯
快樂時,記得生活本來就美好;
但當別人因你而快樂,這時,更好。
那麼,我們都要記得,
葉子每次顏色的變化,都是美麗,
生活每回的曲折,也都有意義,
兩者皆需要非常清澈的眼光看待。
因此,不要抱怨生活,
記住痛苦是我們活著的軌跡,
困境會讓我們變得更堅強,
禱告讓我們不孤單!
如果我們能夠懂得這些真理,
放在心上,
生活會變得更有意義,
擁有更多面向,也更有價值! 」
A beautiful message from Holy Father Pope Francis: he says,
“Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
Living for others is a rule of nature.
We are all born to help each other.
No matter how difficult it is…
Life is good when you are happy; but much better when others are happy because of you.”
Let us all remember then that every changing colour of a leaf is beautiful and every changing situation of life is meaningful, both need very clear vision.
So do not grumble or complain, let us instead remember that Pain is a sign that we are alive, Problems are a sign that we are strong and Prayer is a sign we are not alone!!
If we can acknowledge these truths and condition our hearts and minds, our lives will be more meaningful, different and worthwhile!!
