[靜觀-與天主同在]

…我們是上主之城，以生命體現這滿沃著驚奇的奧跡。基督在祂內孕育了我們，我們也在肉身內蘊育基督，這使我們成為基督的奧體。這份經驗持續在發生，並且能分享給世界，它不是道理、教義，更不是一種意識形態。…我們的理智、意志和感覺可能常常波動、分心、混亂，這沒有關係，因為這不會打攪我們內在的天主之城，那份靜定與安恬。我們是在這塊寧靜和平的領域裡，領受對天主的認識，"對天主的認識"這個模糊的詞彙或許表達我們對於天主的知識，但同樣重要的更是"天主對我們的認識"。和天主的認識相比，我們對祂的認識實在是微不足道的。文/參考文之光神父–We are the city of God. We are this amazing city. We are embodied beings. We are embodied and we are embedded. Embedded in the community; embedded in the body of Christ. That’s the great gift of awareness that we have to share with the world, not as a doctrine, not as a dogma, not as an ideology but as a truth that we are discovering and able to share (…). So we may have a lot of turbulence and a lot of distraction and a lot of turmoil going on in our minds, and in our hearts, and in our feelings, but that’s okay. That doesn’t disturb that stillness that is at the centre of our city, in our heart. And it is out of that stillness and that the work of silence, that the knowledge of God arises. An ambiguous phrase, ‘knowledge of God’. We might think it means our knowledge of God, which it does; but equally, and importantly, it means God’s knowledge of us. Our knowledge of God is very small compared with God’s knowledge of us.( The Experience of Being by Laurence Freeman OSB, Laurence Freeman OSB )#九月份靜觀實踐周末避靜已全數額滿#請把握十一月場次最後名額
