On humanness … a short prayer
By Dom Bautista Vancouver Jesuit Alumni Group
As humans we carry the burden of the knowledge that we cannot remain forever. And each day, we are reminded of our humanness.
But this is what makes His Grace so precious.
So while we are here, we should be not afraid to take on the Chief in Squamish and climb it one baby step at a time just like what GG Francisco did last Sunday.
And when we reach the summit, to breathe. Deeply.
And to say a prayer or two.
And in the hush of the oh so gentle wind as it brushes onto our cheeks, warmed by the sun, to listen to His subtle voice.
So that we will have the energy and patience to care for our loved ones who are ill. And for us to have the good sense to care for ourselves.
Amen.
作為一個人 … 一篇短短的禱文
作為世人、我們明白不可長生。每日種種世事會提醒我們生命是脆弱的。
就是如此我們更覺上主恩典之珍貴。
當我們在世上、我們應向 Squamish 的首長學習：每次小步小步的前進、直至到達顛峯時才深呼吸。猶如上星期日 GG Francisco 所做的一様。
還有……要誠心念經。在那柔暖的風擦面之際聆聽上主奧妙的啓示。
祈求上主赐予我們有足夠精力和耐性去照顧有病的親人、有充分的智慧去料理自己
耐性去照顧有病的親人、有充分的智慧去料理自己。
