51.4月13日戰勝一切－白孟德神父（Fr. Charles Belmonte Lopez）語錄-譯者:林豪

The Lord is risen! We have died and risen with Christ; we have been born to the life of grace, to the life of God’s children. Our strength rests on our awareness that we really are children of God. Being so, God makes up for the strength we lack.

主復活了！我們已經與主基督同死並一同復活；我們生於恩典的生命中，生為天主子女的生命。我們的力量在於我們意識到，我們確實是天主的子女。如此，天主彌補了我們所缺乏的力量。

“Thus, our own failures do not drag us down. Rather they are an invitation to begin again, And even if they were grave sins, the sacrament of penance, received with true sorrow, enables us to recover our peace with God and to become again a good witness of his mercy.

「因此，我們自己的失敗不會拖垮我們。相反地，這是一個重新開始的邀請，即使它們是嚴重的罪，以真正的痛悔接受告解聖事，使我們能夠恢復與天主之間的和好，並再次成為祂的仁慈，最佳的見證人。

“Struggle vigorously against difficulties, in a sporting spirit, joyful in hope, in the knowledge that, helped by God’s grace, you will always win your struggle because God does not lose battles.

“To overcome all obstacles that may arise, we must always take divine grace into account, before everything else. We are not engaged in a human enterprise, nor are we doing our own will. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide.” St Josemaria

以運動精神，與困難激烈奮鬥，以望德的喜樂，瞭解在天主恩典的助佑下，你將會永遠在奮鬥中得勝，因為天主絕不會戰敗。

為了克服所有可能出現的障礙，我們必須始終將天主的恩典置於首位。我們並不是在從事一個私人企業，我們也不是執行自己的旨意。『不是你們揀選了我，而是我揀選了你們，並派你們去結果實，去結常存的果實。』（若15:16）」（聖施禮華）
