主日讀經反思　Sunday Scripture Meditation　（May 30,2010）

本主日讀經︰
箴言　8:22-31
聖詠　8:4-5,6-7,8-9
羅馬書　5:1-5
若望福音　16:12-15

默想︰

天主聖三，我們感謝祢，透過三位，給予我們從天而來的幸福。聖父祢與聖子和聖神所合成的聖三，本身就是最大的幸福。聖子與聖父祢一切共有，聖神的言論，百份百代表聖子和聖父，因為都是領受自聖子和聖父。而聖神的工作就是要反映其他二位和祂自己的光榮。聖子是天父祢的智慧，與祢共創天地，而且在過程中共享喜樂。這一切顯示聖三是福源，我們要因而得福，我們讚美祢！默觀聖三，就是去看到祢向我們啟示圓滿的團體。天父啊！願我們的家庭、教會、國家、人民組織，都能發展到相似祢聖三的完美共融。我們有幸，被聖三祢在救世的工程上收納於祢的完美之內。因著天父祢對我們念念不忘，聖子進入世界使我們世人能與天父祢和好。聖神也傾注到我們心中。我們有了希望，從現在到將來，一步步由仰望而升格到可與聖三共融。就是在現世，因著聖三的收納，我們也可收納世界萬物。我們人與萬物因聖三而有了接納的藍本，我們有了一個好基礎，去善盡管理世界的職務。

三位一體的天主，祢給我們啟示自己，為我們是一個大得很的福氣

Meditation

The two central truths of our Christian faith are that in one God there are three Persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and that the Son took on our human form so that God could communicate with us in language we could understand. Obviously, there is no way we can in this life fully understand the inner nature of God. But the Trinity indicates to us three ways in which God relates to us. As Father, he is the source of all being and life and also the goal to which we are called to return. As Son he is the Word, in other words, through him God communicates with us. The Son did this in a marvelous way by taking our human nature so that God could communicate (though in a limited way) his being in human language. We see God as Son in Jesus, the visible and human revelation and manifestation of God's love and compassion for the whole world. This love is climaxed in the extraordinary events of Jesus suffering, dying and rising to life. God comes to us through Jesus, the Incarnate Son, and we go to God through making our own the view of life and the Way of Jesus. We see God as Spirit forming us, guiding us, teaching us, moving us, comforting and strengthening us. It is in this Trinitarian image that we have been created and it is to grow ever more into this image that we are called. It is a world of harmony, peace and joy.

Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!
