黃士交總主教農暦新年獻詞

February 3, 2021
in Statements
Being a pastor in the pandemic

Archbishop John Wong

送鼠年迎牛年, 祝大家牛年平安健康。 我深信大家都希望在這牛年得享安康, 發財是其次的事.其實健康平安是我們人生最大的財富, 它不是世間的金銀財寶能換取的.

我們華人的習俗, 新年總是要說一些好兆頭的話, 希望能藉它躲避未來的危機及不如意的事情. 常言道:人無百日好, 花無百日紅.在我們人生的旅途中,逆境隨時臨在我們身上, 不是好頭的話就能夠讓我們免災避難, 以其自我安慰, 不如腳踏實地, 勇敢面對、適應及接受明天。

正好是去年的新年期間, 傳來新冠肺炎疫情, 後來蔓延到世界各地,我們的環境也難於幸免, 多少人因這疫情而離世, 多少的家庭因親人的逝世而哀痛難過, 難於接受這個事實。一場疫情嚴重地影響了整個世界的經濟及各行各業, 大家對這疫情帶來的衡擊感到無奈和難過.

戰爭是最恐怖的事情, 現今的疫情比戰爭更恐怖, 它不是以殺傷力很強的武器奪取人命, 而是以無形的病毒侵襲人類。 再先進的醫藥, 再尖銳的武器和發達的科學都不能消滅它, 人類時常以為自己已超越了神明, 先進的科技及資訊, 使我們陶醉在萬能的夢境中。

一場疫情, 猶如當頭捧喝,將我們敲醒,看清我們人原來是那麼無能及脆弱。 華人有句很有意義的話:”順天者昌, 逆天者亡”。我們傳統的習俗,凡事離不開上天, 不論你有或沒有宗教信仰, 我們都認為上天永遠是最偉大的, 我們的一切都掌握在祂的手中。

讓我們反思, 今天我們的所作所為都是逆天而行, 世界到處都發生各種傷天害理的事情, 無論國與國之間, 人與人之間都違反天命和真理。 人類已違反了天主最初創造天地萬物的旨意, 人類彼此之間弱肉強食, 對大自然及各種的生態大肆破壞, 氣候變化, 殺害各種動物, 導致許多動物瀕臨滅種. 天主要我們與大自然及萬物和谐共處, 幫助祂照顧及愛護萬物, 祂也要我們彼此相愛. 這才是順天而行。 所以華人這句充滿智慧的話,喚醒我們要時常依靠天主。

在這新年的伊始, 讓我們除了向天主獻上感恩之情, 也向祂和大地求饒及和好, 也讓我們隨遇而安, 不能夠改變的現實, 唯有去適應、順從及接受。

希望大家不要忘記前線人員 – 醫生、護士、警察及各種服務人員的辛勞和犧牲。 為減輕他們的辛勞, 讓我們嚴緊遵守標準作業程序(SOP), 保護自己,保護前線人員, 也保護所有的人。

最后,我愿以天主的话语祝福大家:

愿上主祝福你,保护你;

愿上主的慈颜光照你,仁慈待你。

愿上主轉面垂顧你,赐你平安! (户6:24-26)
