Fr. Mark Mary: 今天我们默想圣母加冕为天地之母，并从朱塞佩·马蒂亚·博尔吉尼斯的画作《天堂中的玛利亚的荣耀》中获得启发。画中玛利亚面带微笑，这提醒我们，即使在荣耀的时刻，喜乐也与过去的苦难密不可分。我们看到圣若瑟、圣安妮和圣若翰洗者也在场，他们的存在象征着那些与基督一同受苦的人，也将一同分享他的荣耀。我特别关注圣若瑟，他见证了玛利亚的《圣母颂》和西默盎的预言，预示了她将要经历的苦难。圣若瑟因听到西默盎的预言而感到痛苦，但他通过回想玛利亚的《圣母颂》来平静自己，最终他通过信赖天主，全心全意地爱和尊敬玛利亚，并成为耶稣的好父亲，从而克服了内心的痛苦。圣若瑟忠信至死，最终得到了善终的恩典。现在，他看到玛利亚成为天地之母，意味着他的任务完成了，玛利亚最终到达了不再需要保护的天堂，他也因其忠信而获得了胜利和喜悦。圣安妮和圣若翰洗者的生活也充满了苦难，但他们对真理的忠诚最终使他们分享了耶稣的胜利。这些圣人们的经历也适用于我们所有人，这就是真福八端如此重要的原因。真福八端是对那些受苦之人的承诺，他们将得到满足、安慰和怜悯。即使这些承诺尚未完全实现，那些接受天主承诺的人已经是有福的。通过在洗礼中分享基督的生命，我们现在已经分享了这种祝福，但通往天堂的道路并非没有苦难。我们不应因眼前的痛苦而灰心，而应记住天主的承诺。苦难之后总有天主的应许，就像在玛利亚的加冕礼中，我们看到了她所分享的胜利，以及我们已经得到的祝福。天堂是故事的结局，在那里所有的眼泪都被擦干，所有的承诺都得到实现。我们应该效仿圣若瑟，在经历苦难时，要想起天主的应许。让我们想起天主在玛利亚的生活中实现的承诺，她经历了真福八端中提到的所有苦难，也经历了这些苦难的圆满实现。玛利亚现在是天地之母，我们与她有相同的传承，即天父的应许。因此，让我们祈求即使在现在也能体验到喜悦，并祈求有希望有一天我们也能得到我们的冠冕，我们的奖赏，以及我们分享的天主所实现的承诺。

Shownotes Transcript

The Coronation of Mary is portrayed in Giuseppe Mattia Borgnis’s fresco, where the Trinity crowns her Queen of Heaven as saints, angels, and loved ones gaze on with joy. The presence of St. Joseph, St. Anne, and St. John the Baptist emphasizes that those who suffer with Christ also share in His glory. We are reminded that while the road of discipleship includes pain, it ultimately leads to the fulfillment of God’s promises of eternal victory and our shared inheritance in Christ. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Coronation of Mary and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
