教宗方济：大公会议是圣神的化工，但是有人企图走回头路 （梵蒂冈电台讯）教宗方济4月16日清晨在圣玛尔大之家的小堂 举行了弥撒圣祭，梵蒂冈城国政府主席若瑟．贝尔泰罗枢机和耶路 撒冷拉丁礼宗主教福阿德．特瓦尔一同共祭，梵蒂冈城国政府的一 些职员参加了礼仪。教宗在弥撒讲道中强调，圣神推动人和教会向 前迈进，但是我们却予以反抗，不愿意改变。 当天礼仪的读经一告诉我们，殉道圣人斯德望在被石头砸死之前宣 讲基督的复活，以言辞警告在场的人说：「执拗的人啊！你们时常 反抗圣神」。圣斯德望指出他们迫害先知，在杀死先知後为其修建 「漂亮的坟墓」，并且只在事後敬仰他们。教宗表示，耶稣也训斥 厄玛乌的门徒说：「无知的人啊！为信先知们所说的一切话，你们 的心 竟是这般迟钝！」。教宗指出：「我们也时常反抗圣神。说白 了，圣神使我们烦恼。因为祂推动我们，让我们行走，推动教会前 行。我们像伯多禄一样，会在耶稣显圣容时说：『啊，这样真好， 大家都在一起！』我们不希望有烦恼，我们希望圣神昏昏入睡…… 试图驯服圣神，但这是不可能的。因为祂是天主，祂是来去的风， 你不知道祂从哪里来。圣神是天主的神力，祂可以赐予我们安慰和 前行的动力。但是前行使我们烦恼，我们更喜欢安逸。」 教宗接续说，今天，似乎我们所有人都对圣神的希望感到高兴，但 「其实不然。这种安逸的诱惑今天依然存在。举个例子，让我们设 想一下大公会议」，教宗说： 「大公会议是圣神的美妙化工。教宗 若望二十三世是一位很好的本堂神父 ，他顺从圣神，召开了梵二 大公会议。但是在50年後，我们是否完成了圣神在梵二大公会议时 提出的全部要求呢？教会的发展是否沿袭大公会议的精神呢？没有。 虽然我们举行纪念活动，竖起一座纪念碑，但是我们不希望有烦恼。 我们不愿意改变。甚至还有些试图走回头路的声音。而这便是执拗， 便是企图驯化圣神，便是无知和心灵迟钝。」 教宗还说，同样的事也在我们个人的生活中发生。事实上，「是圣神 在推动我们走上更符合福音精神的道路」，然而我们却予以反抗。 教宗最後勉励说：「不要反抗圣神。圣神藉着耶稣的自由、天主子 的自由，让我们获享自由！ 不反抗圣神是我希望大家都向上主恳求 的一个恩宠。我们要顺从圣神，因为祂临在我们身上，让我们在教会 如此美好的成圣之路上前进。愿我们获享顺从圣神的恩宠。」 --------------------------------------------------------------- Pope: 2nd Vatican Council, work of Holy Spirit but some want to turn back the clock. Pope Francis said the Holy Spirit pushes people and the Church forward but we resist this and do not want to change. His remarks came during his homily at the Mass on Tuesday morning celebrated at the Santa Marta residence which was dedicated to Benedict XVI in honour of his 86th birthday. Susy Hodges reports: Text follows: Pope Francis dedicated Tuesday's mass to Benedict XVI 16th who turned 86 on this date. "May the Love be with him, comfort him and gave him much consolation," he said. Pope Francis' homily at the mass was centred on the theme of the Holy Spirit and our resistance to it. It took its inspiration from the first reading of the day which was the story of the martyrdom of St. Stephen who described his accusers as stubborn people who were always resisting the Holy Spirit. Put frankly, the Pope continued, "the Holy Spirit upsets us because it moves us, it makes us walk, it pushes the Church forward." He said that we wish "to calm down the Holy Spirit, we want to tame it and this is wrong." Pope Francis said "that's because the Holy Spirit is the strength of God, it's what gives us the strength to go forward" but many find this upsetting and prefer the comfort of the familiar. Nowadays, he went on, "everybody seems happy about the presence of the Holy Spirit but it's not really the case and there is still that temptation to resist it." The Pope said one example of this resistance was the Second Vatican council which he called "a beautiful work of the Holy Spirit." But 50 years later, "have we done everything the Holy Spirit was asking us to do during the Council," he asked. The answer is "No," said Pope Francis. "We celebrate this anniversary, we put up a monument but we don't want it to upset us. We don't want to change and what's more there are those who wish to turn the clock back." This, he went on, "is called stubbornness and wanting to tame the Holy Spirit." The Pope said the same thing happens in our personal life. "The Spirit pushes us to take a more evangelical path but we resist this." He concluded his homily by urging those present not to resist the pull of the Holy Spirit. "Submit to the Holy Spirit," he said, "which comes from within us and makes go forward along the path of holiness." News from: http://en.radiovaticana.va/index.asp --
