83.5月15日「全能的代禱者」－白孟德神父（Fr. Charles Belmonte Lopez）語錄-譯者:林豪
Why is Our Lady called the “pleading omnipotence”?
This is what Blessed Alvaro del Portillo said.
為什麼聖母被尊稱為「全能的代禱者」呢？
這是由真福歐華路所提出的。
On May 12, we commemorated the feast of Blessed Alvaro del Portillo, the first successor of St. Josemaría Escrivá at the head of Opus Dei. He strongly encouraged us to have recourse to the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom he described as “the suppliant Omnipotence,” because she is powerful when she asks anything from her Son.
5月12日，我們紀念聖施禮華（St. Josemaría Escrivá）領導主業團第一位繼承人真福歐華路（Alvaro del Portillo）的慶日。他強烈地鼓勵我們尋求聖母瑪利亞助佑，他將聖母形容為「全能的代禱者」，因為當她向聖子提出任何要求時，她都是強而有力的。
At a meeting in 1988, Blessed Alvaro del Portillo explained this special power of Mary, pointing out that, when she asks from God to grant her something, “Jesus cannot say no to his Mother.”
在1988年的一次會議上，真福歐華路解釋了瑪利亞的這種特殊力量，特別指出，當她向天主請求賜予她某項事務時，「主耶穌絕不能對祂的母親說：『不！』」
To give an example of this, Blessed Alvaro del Portillo reflected on the Gospel passage of the Wedding at Cana, in which Our Lady pointed out to her Son that the bride and groom had no wine. To this Jesus responded by implying that it was none of his business.
舉例來說，真福歐華路反思到加納婚宴的福音段落，其中聖母向她的聖子提出新娘和新郎沒有酒了。對此，主耶穌的回應是，暗示著這不關祂的事。
Blessed Alvaro, however, considered that Christ gave this answer “so that we may know how to understand the effectiveness, the power of the Mother of God.” He then explained that Our Lady immediately commanded the servants to do what Jesus said.
“And that’s what she keeps telling us, to do what Jesus asks of us. And Jesus worked his first miracle. And he will work so many miracles in our souls if we go to Mary,” Blessed Alvaro emphasized.
然而，真福歐華路認為主基督給出了這個答案：「以便讓我們知道，如何理解天主之母的效力與能力。」然後他解釋說，聖母立即吩咐僕人按照主耶穌所說的去做。
真福歐華路強調說：「這就是她一直告訴我們的，要做主耶穌要求我們做的事，主耶穌就行了祂的第一個神蹟。如果我們去瑪利亞那裡，主耶穌會在我們的靈魂中，行更多的奇蹟。」
Blessed Alvaro encouraged us to love the Mother of God very much, because “she is our good Mother we have in heaven, who obtains so many graces for us, so much grace from God.”
真福歐華路鼓勵我們，要非常愛天主之母，因為「她是我們在天上的好母親，她為我們獲得了如此多的恩寵，來自天主如此多的恩典。」
St. John Paul II, who attended the wake of Alvaro del Portillo at the death of his good friend, also referred to Mary as “suppliant omnipotence.” At the general audience of May 2, 1979, on the Mother of the Risen Christ, the Pontiff said: “The revelation of the divine power of the Son through the resurrection is at the same time a revelation of the ‘suppliant omnipotence’ (omnipotentia supplex) of Mary in relation to this Son.”
聖若望保祿二世在他的好友真福歐華路去世時，參加了他的追悼會，也稱瑪利亞為「全能的代禱者」。教宗在1979年5月2日的公開會面時，在復活主基督之母的會議上說：「藉由復活啟示聖子的神能，同時也是對瑪利亞與這位聖子相繫之『全能的代禱者』（omnipotentia supplex）的啟示。」
