Fr. Mark Mary: 今天我默想了耶稣显圣容，以及他赐予我们对抗诱惑的属灵权柄。在拉斐尔的画作中，耶稣显圣容与门徒驱魔失败形成对比，揭示了信心的重要性。门徒们因为缺乏信心而无法驱赶恶魔，而耶稣斥责了他们的不信。我相信耶稣不仅拥有神圣的权柄和力量，而且他还希望通过我们来工作，让我们分享他的神圣生命。我呼吁大家审视自己的生活，在那些没有凭信心生活的地方，呼求耶稣的力量，相信他的怜悯和拯救。不要因为胆怯或不信而犹豫，要相信并以耶稣基督的力量和权柄行事。 Fr. Mark Mary: 我看到了耶稣在圣容显现中展现出的神圣权柄，以及门徒们因缺乏信心而无法驱赶恶魔的对比。我意识到，耶稣希望我们分享他的力量，并通过我们来工作。我反思了自己生活中那些缺乏信心的地方，比如面对诱惑、沮丧或绝望时。我意识到，我需要更多地信靠耶稣的怜悯和力量，相信他能够改变我、拯救我。我决心不再犹豫，而是凭着信心，运用耶稣基督的力量和权柄去面对生活中的挑战。

Shownotes Transcript

Fr. Mark-Mary notices that The Transfiguration, painted by Raphael, contains a very interesting Biblical reference. Raphael has chosen to depict the beginning of Jesus’ exorcism of a demon in Matthew 17 alongside the Transfiguration. This parallel reveals the truth that Jesus can give us all spiritual authority to resist temptation, through our faith in him. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Transfiguration and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
