Fr. Mark-Mary: 圣母玛利亚探访伊丽莎白的故事是‘更大的寻求更小的’的完美体现。圣母玛利亚,作为地位更高者,主动前往拜访伊丽莎白,这并非出于礼节,而是出于对伊丽莎白的关爱和对天主旨意的顺服。这体现了天主主动寻求世人的谦卑和恩典。 在圣安博的著作中,我们看到玛利亚的探访并非出于对预言的怀疑或不确定,而是出于对天主旨意的热切渴望。她以谦卑的姿态,作为晚辈拜访长辈,并主动问候,这正是圣灵恩典的彰显。伊丽莎白听到玛利亚的问候,施洗约翰在母腹中欢跃,这更突显了天主恩典的奥秘和力量。 我个人的经历也印证了这一主题。在洪都拉斯做义工时,一位资深修士因分心而让我感到沮丧。但他并没有因此疏远我,而是主动向我道歉,并一再地表达歉意,直到我接受了他的道歉,恢复了我们之间的和好与共融。这正是‘更大的寻求更小的’的体现,也是天主主动寻求我们、与我们和好的写照。 天主并非高高在上,而是主动寻求我们,这在耶稣的整个地上事工中都有体现。他寻求迷失的羊,拯救罪人,这都是‘更大的寻求更小的’的体现。我们应该效法天主的谦卑,主动寻求那些需要帮助的人,以同样的谦卑、慷慨、怜悯、急切和毅力去帮助他们,并与他们和好。

God doesn’t just stay in heaven and wait for us to approach him. Instead, as reflected in the mystery of the Visitation, God comes in search of us.  Fr. Mark-Mary tells us, reading from  St. Ambrose, that not only does Mary, the mother of God, seek out Elizabeth, but she even greets her first. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Visitation and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
