85.5月17日憐憫－白孟德神父（Fr. Charles Belmonte Lopez）語錄-譯者:林豪
“Mercy [misericordia] is more than simply being compassionate. Mercy is the overflow of charity, which brings with it also an overflow of justice. Mercy means keeping one’s heart totally alive, with a love that is strong, self-sacrificing and generous.”
「憐憫（misericordia）不只是富有同情心而已。憐憫是愛德的滿溢，也帶來了公義的流溢。憐憫的意思是，以一種強而有力、自我犧牲和慷慨的愛，來保持一個人完全活絡的心。」
Together with our care and concern for material things, we also need to be constant in performing what are referred to as the spiritual works of mercy.
除了我們對物質方面事物的關心和考量外，我們還需要不斷地實行所謂「憐憫的屬靈工作。」
In the first place, we should correct those who stray, doing so in the right way, full of charity, without being annoying or offensive.
We should instruct the ignorant by teaching them doctrine and enlightening their minds with our Lord’s light.
We should counsel those in doubt, by giving them honest, impartial advice.
We should console the afflicted, sharing their sorrow.
We should forgive those who offend us: by excusing them, understanding them, and being generous.
And we should help those in need, going to great lengths to serve others.
Finally, we should pray for the living and the dead, with a charitable heart, because your charity has to be far-reaching, universal.
首先，我們應該要糾正那些誤入歧途的人，以正確的方式為之，充滿愛德，而不是騷擾或冒犯。
我們應該要教導無知的人，教導他們教理，以我主的真光啟發他們的思想。
我們應該要為那些有疑惑的人解惑，給他們誠實、公正的建議。
我們應該要安慰受苦的人，分擔他們的悲傷。
我們應該要原諒那些冒犯我們的人：為他們找藉口，同理他們，並慷慨大方。
我們應該要幫助那些有需要的人，竭盡全力地為他人服務。
最後，我們應該以慈悲的心，為生者和死者祈禱，因為你的慈悲必須是深遠及普世性的。
St Josemaría would say: “Practice this spirit yourselves, and instill it in others. Let it be seen in every aspect of your lives: in the way you pay attention to your colleagues when they share their problems with you; in the silent help you give, perhaps without even being noticed, when someone is unable to cope with all the things he has to do; or in the sincere advice you give to a colleague to help him work better.”
聖施禮華曾說道：「你們自己要實踐這種精神，並將其灌輸給他人，體現於你生活的各個層面：當你的同事與你分享他們的問題時，你關注他們的方式；當有人無法應付他必須做的所有事情時，默默地協助他，也許甚至是沒有被注意到；或者你給同事的真誠建議，幫助他將工作做得更好。」
