Fr. Mark Mary: 今天,我将带领大家默想并祈祷第一个喜乐奥迹——天使报喜,并借助扬·范·艾克的画作《天使报喜》进行冥想。这幅画作在视觉上引人注目,象征意义极其丰富。画中,教堂的建筑风格以上层的罗马式和下层的哥特式,象征着旧约到新约的过渡和实现。地板上的瓷砖描绘了大卫战胜歌利亚和参孙摧毁非利士神庙等旧约事件,预示着耶稣的最终胜利。玛利亚的回应以颠倒的拉丁文书写,表明她的话语是直接对上帝说的。我的理解是,玛利亚的服从和信任都完全是对上帝的。如同德兰修女所说,带着微笑接受上帝给予的一切,并奉献他取走的一切。上帝通过具体环境和事件来给予和拿走,如同天使加百列直接来到玛利亚身边。我们要在一切境遇中看到上帝之手,特别是在困难时刻,邀请我们完全臣服于他。如同玛利亚一样,我们要把一切都放在心里,与上帝对话,将主要的对话、希望和信心放在上帝身上。即使世人不理解,我们的“是”是对上帝说的,焦点也在于他。通过我们对他的“是”,我们已经分享了他的胜利。 Fr. Mark Mary: 我希望大家能够更多地信任上帝,在一切事物中看到他的给予和邀请,并与他保持主要的对话,而不是与世界对话。玛利亚的服从,她的'是',是对上帝给予和取走的一切的肯定,并且他始终信守对她的承诺。通过我们对他的'是',我们已经分享了他的胜利。

What does it mean to say “yes” to God with complete trust? Reflecting on Jan van Eyck’s painting of the Annunciation, Fr. Mark-Mary explores how Mary’s faithful response marks the fulfillment of the Old Testament and invites us to a similar surrender. We are called to recognize God’s presence in all circumstances and to keep our focus and trust rooted in Him. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Annunciation and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.

All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy).
