27. 3月20日盟約－白孟德神父（Fr. Charles Belmonte Lopez）語錄-譯者:林豪
God tells us that He planted a vineyard. The vineyard is us; it is you and me, who have sealed a covenant with Him. A covenant of fidelity. A commitment to change the world with our life, with our “yes,” with our daily surrender. We have said yes, and we have committed ourselves.
天主告訴我們，祂種植了一個葡萄園。葡萄園就是我們；是你和我，與祂訂立了盟約，一項忠誠之約。承諾用我們的生活，用我們的「願意！」用我們每天的委順來改變世界；我們已經答應了，而且我們自己已經承諾了。
St. Joseph was designated the guardian of Jesus and Mary. And he fulfilled his mission. A full life, that is what God gave him, and likewise promises us. I wish I had more of St. Joseph’s vocational sense of life: the purpose and meaning of one’s life.
聖若瑟被指派為主耶穌和瑪利亞的護守人，他完成了個人的使命。這是天主賜給他的整個生命，同樣也應許了我們。我希望，我能擁有更多如同聖若瑟的聖召，生命感召：「一個人生命的目的和意義。」
As he did with St. Joseph, Jesus comes out to meet us and has called us by our name. Each one’s vocation is a hidden treasure, an inexhaustible source of graces from God to fulfill that mission. Do I make use of those graces waiting there to be employed?
正如祂對聖若瑟所做的那樣，主耶穌出來迎接我們，並用我們的名字召叫我們。每個人的聖召，都是一個隱而不見的寶藏，是一份天主恩典取之不盡的源泉，以完成此一使命。我是否善用那些等待著受僱的恩典？
