40. 4月2日聖母瑪利亞－白孟德神父（Fr. Charles Belmonte Lopez）語錄-譯者:林豪
Christ has truly risen. This is the central mystery of our faith. Christ is alive even now. His Resurrection is the principle of my own resurrection; if I die with him, I will resurrect with him. This joy should transform my daily life and spread to those around me.
The Risen Christ conquers sin and death; he lives forever and intercedes for me before the Father. If he is with me, who will be against me?
主基督真的復活了!這是我們信仰的核心奧秘。主基督甚至於現在還活著。祂的復活是我個人復活的依據；如果我和祂一起同死，我會和祂一起復活。這種喜樂應該能改變我的日常生活，並傳播給我周圍的人。
復活的主基督戰勝了罪惡與死亡；祂永遠活著，在天父面前為我轉求。如果祂和我在一起，誰能反對我呢？
I am not fighting alone. The Holy Spirit is poured out abundantly on the Church on the day of Pentecost; he is here, inside me, constantly, if I am in the state of grace.
But I should correspond to the “motions” of the Holy Spirit. For the Holy Spirit to act in my soul, I need to be listening with docility. With trust in his help, I should set high goals, resolutions, in my Christian life, and be daring in the apostolate.
我不是獨自一人在奮鬥。聖神在五旬節當天大量傾注於教會；如果我處於恩典的狀態下，祂就在此，不斷地，在我內。
但我應該相襯於聖神的「動作」。為了使聖神在我的靈魂內行動，我需要順服地聆聽。相信藉由祂的幫助，我應該在我的基督徒生活中，設定崇高的目標和決心，並在使徒工作中大膽前行。
The life Our Lady, Holy Mary, Mother of God was a constant following of her Son, right to the sublime moment of the Passion.
I am a child of Mary; on the Cross, Jesus entrusted each of us to his Mother. If I want to be a good Christian, our Lady has to become part of my life.
Like a good mother, she teaches me how to become like Christ. Our Lady is the model of all the virtues, and in special way, our Lady is the model of holiness in ordinary life.
Do I seek out, frequently, her motherly intercession? Do I stay close to her throughout the day with aspirations and practices of Marian piety?
Our Lady will also help me to begin again whenever I need to: “To Jesus we always go and we ‘return’ through Mary.”
聖母的生命、聖母瑪利亞、天主之母不斷地追隨她的聖子，直到受難的崇高時刻。
我是瑪利亞的孩子；在十字架上，主耶穌把我們每個人都託付給祂的母親。如果我想成為一個好的基督徒，聖母必須會成為我生活的一部分。
她像一位好母親一樣，教我如何變得像主基督一樣。聖母是所有美德的典範，並且以特殊的方式，聖母是日常生活中成聖的典範。
我是否經常尋求她，母親般的代禱？我是否整天都藉由短誦及實踐瑪利亞般的虔誠，與她親近呢？
聖母也會幫助我在需要時重新開始：「到耶穌那邊去及『回歸』到耶穌身邊，都得經過瑪利亞。」（道路，495）
