30. 3月23日我今虔誠朝拜-白孟德神父(Fr. Charles Belmonte Lopez)語錄-譯者:林豪
Today, especially, let us all ATONE for the offenses against the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist, praying and meditating of the beautiful hymn “Adoro te devote,” composed by St Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century.
特別是今天,讓我們一起為對於聖體聖事的冒犯作補贖,誦念和默想聖多瑪斯·阿奎那(St Thomas Aquinas)在13世紀時,創作的美麗讚美詩「Adoro te devote我今虔誠朝拜!」
I devoutly adore you, O hidden Deity,
Truly hidden beneath these appearances.
My whole heart submits to you,
And in contemplating you, It surrenders itself completely.
我今虔誠朝拜,隱形之天主,
主在麵酒形下,隱藏真面目,
我心靈之全部,唯有爾是屬,
因瞻望爾奧蹟,欣喜不自主。
Sight, touch, taste are all deceived in their judgment of you,
But hearing suffices firmly to believe.
I believe all that the Son of God has spoken;
There is nothing truer than this word of truth.
眼見、手摸、口嚐,引我入迷途,
惟耳能聽正道,我乃成信徒,
一切吾主聖訓,信之深且固,
上天下地真理,從你口中出。
On the cross only the divinity was hidden,
But here the humanity is also hidden.
Yet believing and confessing both,
I ask for what the repentant thief asked.
昔日十字架上,天主性隱藏,
今在麵酒形下,人性亦不彰,
二者我皆信仰,二者並宣揚,
緬懷我於爾邦,如右盜所望。
I do not see the wounds as Thomas did,
But I confess that you are my God.
Make me believe more and more in you,
Hope in you, and love you.
雖不能像多默,親見主聖傷,
但我也要歡呼,宣佈我信仰,
我主,我的天主!求賜我熱腸,
增信、望、愛三德,日後得榮冠。
O memorial of our Lord’s death!
Living bread that gives life to man,
Grant my soul to live on you,
And always to savor your sweetness.
吾主至聖聖體,紀念爾死亡,
養活世人靈魂,活命真食糧,
今後惟爾滋養,我靈極渴望,
天堂甘飴滋味,求爾預賜嚐。
Lord Jesus, Good Pelican,
wash my filthiness and clean me with your blood,
One drop of which can free
the entire world of all its sins.
仁愛慈悲泉源,主耶穌基督,
以爾寶血潔淨,我靈罪咎除,
為眾傾流聖血,惟一滴已足,
滌除普世愆尤,罪債亦消除。
Jesus, whom now I see hidden,
I ask you to fulfill what I so desire:
That the sight of your face being unveiled
I may have the happiness of seeing your glory. Amen.
耶穌我今仰瞻,爾掩障形象,
一心虔恭求爾,滿全我渴望,
日後揭開帳幕,享見主榮光,
面面相對瞻仰,歡樂永無疆。亞孟
The voice Jesus continues to cry out in the desert of the consciences of so many men, calling them to conversion, attracting them to his love. But the Jews did not understand him. Will we understand him today?
主耶穌的聲音,繼續不斷地在許多人良心的沙漠中呼喊著,召喚他們皈依,吸引他們歸向祂的愛。但是猶太人並不瞭解祂。我們今天會瞭解祂嗎?
