祈禱和人生 Prayer and Life
Also With Gwojen Fung, Victoria Chan, Teresa Cheung and Gabrielle Lou
我是誰?我在那裡?這些都是人生和信仰中探討的基本問題。 反觀自己一生人,領洗,做教友,為人,這麼多年,為什麼有時還對祈禱和天主如此陌生,疏離, 生活還是顫顫驚驚。又覺得人在江湖,身不由己,生老病死,無所適從,沒有安全感和生命的喜悅?有時反省自己到中老年,多年的信仰和天主所𠄘諾的愛和喜樂是什麼?在那裡? 可以的話,現在就練習放下手邊的忙碌和腦中的思緒,輕輕呼一口氣,再慢慢的吸氣,感受空氣經過鼻子,喉嚨,到胸肺,和肚子微微脹起的感覺。再慢慢的吐氣,感覺肚子微微收入,氣經胸肺,喉嚨,鼻子而出。多做幾次。感覺一下,是什麼感受?空氣的溫度,溼度,是冷還是熱,是乾還是溼?空氣經過鼻子,喉嚨,胸肺,是順暢的,還是不適的?心跳有加快嗎?多練習慢慢呼吸幾次,是不是比較平和舒適了? 在這裡,有沒有意識到這是基本的呼吸和自己身體的自然感覺和反應?創世紀裡(2:7)天主用地上的灰土形成了人,在他鼻孔內吹了一口生氣,人就成了一個有靈的生物 。 想想這時,我們可意識到空氣,呼吸和自己的身體都是天主的禮物?聖詠(104:30)你一噓氣,萬物創成,你使地面更新復興。想想,天主照自己的肖像造了我們,我們有天主的肖像,我們是不是也可以噓氣使地面更新?我們的成長和努力,家庭,子女,朋友,學習,工作,等等,是不是也不停的更新?我們可意識到天主在我們的生命和生活裡? 讓我們一起回歸基本,反觀,探討,彼此支持,鼓勵,用歸心祈禱,歡迎祈禱,泰澤祈禱,由天主聖神的帶領。一起充滿在天主的臨在和愛中。 Who am I?
