恭讀聖路加福音 1:26-38
到了第六個月﹐天使加俾額爾奉天主差遣﹐往加里肋亞一座名叫納匝肋的城去﹐到一位童貞女那裏﹐她已與達味家族中的一個名叫若瑟的男子訂了婚﹐童貞女的名字叫瑪利亞。天使進去向她說﹕“萬福﹗充滿恩寵者﹐上主與你同在﹗”【在女人中你是蒙祝福的。】她卻因這話驚惶不安﹐便思慮這樣的請安有什麼意思。
天使對她說﹕“瑪利亞﹐不要害怕﹐因為你在天主前獲得了寵幸。看﹐你將懷孕生子﹐並要給他起名叫耶穌。他將是偉大的﹐並被稱為至高者的兒子﹐上主天主要把他祖先達味的御座賜給他。他要為王統治雅各伯家﹐直到永遠﹔他的王權沒有終結。”
瑪利亞便向天使說﹕“這事怎能成就﹖因為我不認識男人。”天使答覆她說﹕“聖神要臨於你﹐至高者的能力要庇廕你﹐因此﹐那要誕生的聖者﹐將稱為天主的兒子。且看﹐你的親戚依撤伯爾﹐她雖在老年﹐卻懷了男胎﹐本月已六個月了﹐她原是素稱不生育約﹐因為在天主前沒有不能的事。”瑪利亞說﹕“看﹗上主的婢女﹐ 願照妳的話成就於我吧﹗”天使便離開她去了。

(Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:26-38

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34 And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” 35 And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. 36 And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

3月25日　(週三)　 路1：26-38　　(其他經文──依7：10-14；8：10  詠40  希10：4-10)
到了第六個月，天使加俾額爾奉天主差遣，往加里肋亞一座名叫納匝肋的城去，到一位童貞女那裡，她已與達味家族中的一個名叫若瑟的男子訂了婚，童貞女的名字叫瑪利亞。天使進去向她說：「萬福！充滿恩寵者，上主與你同在！」【在女人中你是蒙祝福的。】她卻因這話驚惶不安，便思慮這樣的請安有什麼意思。
天使對她說：「瑪利亞，不要害怕，因為你在天主前獲得了寵幸。看，你將懷孕生子，並要給他起名叫耶穌。他將是偉大的，並被稱為至高者的兒子，上主天主要把他祖先達味的御座賜給他。他要為王統治雅各伯家，直到永遠；他的王權沒有終結。」
瑪利亞便向天使說：「這事怎能成就？因為我不認識男人。」天使答覆她說：「聖神要臨於你，至高者的能力要庇廕你，因此，那要誕生的聖者，將稱為天主的兒子。且看，你的親戚依撒伯爾，她雖在老年，卻懷了男胎，本月已六個月了，她原是素稱不生育約，因為在天主前沒有不能的事。」瑪利亞說：「看！上主的婢女，願照妳的話成就於我吧！」天使便離開她去了。

默　想

• 要認識耶穌，就不要從常識開始。常識又怎能接受貞女生子？死者又怎能復活？
• 耶穌在我們身上所做的改變，也不能從常識完全了解——因為祂也使我們成為充滿恩寵者。
• 當我們認識到自己是從耶穌而得恩寵，我們便開始認識祂。同時，當我們認識祂越深，也會知道祂就是我們的施恩者。
• 這就是戀愛的狀態。當我們和耶穌進入愛情的狀態，還能不信從祂嗎？我們不再是單純用腦袋，也用上感情。
• 記著，多點以談戀愛的心態去認識耶穌。

恭讀聖若望福音5:1-16

那時，正是猶太人的慶節，耶穌便上了耶路撒冷。在耶路撒冷靠近羊門有一個水池，希伯來語叫作貝特匝達，周圍有五個走廊。在這些走廊內，躺著許多患病的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的、痲痺的，都在等候水動。因為有天使按時下到水池中，攪動池水；水動後，第一個下去的，無論他患什麼病，必會痊癒。在那裏有一個人，患病已三十八年。耶穌看見這人躺在那裏，知道他已病了多時，就向他說：「你願意痊愈嗎？」那病人回答說：「主，我沒有人在水動的時候，把我放到水池中；我正到的時候，別人在我以前已經下去了。」耶穌向他說：「起來，拿起你的床，行走吧！」那人便立刻痊愈了，拿起自己的床，行走起來；那一天正是安息日。於是猶太人對那痊愈的人說：「今天是安息日，不許你拿床。」他回答他們說：「叫我痊愈了的那一位給我說：拿起你的床，行走吧！」他們就問他：「給你說拿起床來，而行走的那人是誰？」那痊愈的人卻不知道他是誰，因為那地方人多，耶穌已躲開了。事後耶穌在聖殿裏遇見了，他便向對說：「看，你已痊愈了，不要再犯罪，免得你遭遇更不幸的事。」那人就去告訴猶太人：使他痊愈的就是耶穌。為此猶太人便開始迫害耶穌，因為他在安息日作這樣的事。

(4th Week of Lent – Tues.)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 5:1-16

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za’tha, which has five porticoes. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.5 One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down  before me.” 8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and walk.” 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the Sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet.” 11 But he answered them, “The man who healed me said to me, `Take up your pallet, and walk.’” 12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, `Take up your pallet, and walk’?” 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16 And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the Sabbath.

正是猶太人的慶節，耶穌便上了耶路撒冷。在耶路撒冷靠近羊門有一個水池，希伯來語叫作貝特匝達，周圍有五個走廊。在這些走廊內，躺著許多患病的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的、痲痺的，都在等候水動。因為有天使按時下到水池中，攪動池水；水動後，第一個下去的，無論他患什麼病，必會痊癒。在那裡有一個人，患病已三十八年。耶穌看見這人躺在那裡，知道他已病了多時，就向他說：「你願意痊愈嗎？」那病人回答說：「主，我沒有人在水動的時候，把我放到水池中；我正到的時候，別人在我以前已經下去了。」耶穌向他說：「起來，拿起你的床，行走吧！」那人便立刻痊愈了，拿起自己的床，行走起來；那一天正是安息日。於是猶太人對那痊愈的人說：「今天是安息日，不許你拿床。」他回答他們說：「叫我痊愈了的那一位給我說：拿起你的床，行走吧！」他們就問他：「給你說拿起床來，而行走的那人是誰？」那痊愈的人卻不知道他是誰，因為那地方人多，耶穌已躲開了。事後耶穌在聖殿裡遇見了，他便向對說：「看，你已痊愈了，不要再犯罪，免得你遭遇更不幸的事。」那人就去告訴猶太人：使他痊愈的就是耶穌。為此猶太人便開始迫害耶穌，因為他在安息日作這樣的事。

默　想

• 迫害耶穌的人，當然也是不認識耶穌的。所以，當我們不認識耶穌時，有時也會迫害祂！
• 當然，有時我們也會受人迫害，這是因為別人不認識我們，也不認識耶穌。當這情況出現時，也會令我們想起我們也曾迫害耶穌。
• 或許，在領洗初期，我們會聽從耶穌的說話拿起床行走。但過得幾年，我們便會冷淡地對祂，因為我們對祂的認識沒有隨著時日而增加。
• 最後，耶穌成為我生命中的過客，不是我生命的全部。直到我們快要走完塵世的旅程，才又記起這個被我們遺忘的耶穌。
• 請問你是不是想這樣？

Annual Apparition To Mirjana – March 18, 2009

The visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24th 1981 to December 25th 1982. During the last daily apparition, Our Lady gave her the 10th secret, and told her that she would appear to her once a year, on the 18th of March. It has been this way through the years. Several thousand pilgrims gathered in prayer of the Rosary at the ‘Blue Cross’. The apparition lasted from 13:52 to 13:58.

Dear children! Today I call you to look into your hearts sincerely and for a long time. What will you see in them? Where is my Son in them and where is the desire to follow me to Him? My children, may this time of renunciation be a time when you will ask yourself: ‘What does my God desire of me personally? What am I to do?’ Pray, fast and have a heart full of mercy. Do not forget your shepherds. Pray that they may not get lost, that they may remain in my Son so as to be good shepherds to their flock.

Our Lady looked at all those present and added: Again I say to you, if you knew how much I love you, you would cry with happiness. Thank you.

親愛的孩子們：

今天我邀請你們用長一點時間，誠懇地看看你們內心的世界。你們看到什麼？我的聖子在那裡？你們跟隨我走向耶穌的意願在那裡？孩子們，讓這段克己的時刻去想一想：天主願意我個人做些什麼呢？我自己要做些什麼呢？

祈禱、守齋和讓自己的心靈充滿慈悲罷！

不要忘記你們的牧者。求主不要讓他們失落，使他們常存留我的聖子內，成為羊群的好牧者。

假若你們知道我愛你們如何深的話，你們會喜極而泣。

多謝你們。

梁達材神父恭譯

「梅瑟曾在曠野裡高舉了蛇，人子也應照樣被舉起來，使凡信的人，在他內獲得永生。」(若3:14)

戶籍紀廿一章六節描述上主打發火蛇渡到以色列人民中，咬死了許多人，懲罰他們對主的無信。後來上主對梅瑟說：「你做一條火蛇，懸在木竿上；凡是被咬的，一瞻仰牠，必得生存。」

結果，梅瑟做了一條銅蛇，懸在木竿上；那被咬的人，一瞻仰銅蛇，就保存了生命。

這條銅蛇，一直存放在聖殿內。到希則下克雅為王時，由於人民過於對銅蛇敬拜，遠超對天主的敬禮，便把銅蛇毀滅。

耶穌把自己比作火蛇，實有其喻意。

火蛇傷人，有灼熱的感覺。天主的聖言，藉聖神的德能，同樣可以灼熱人心。

銅蛇被高舉，當那被咬的人，一瞻仰銅蛇，就保存了生命。同樣，讓路加的記載，把我們帶入耶穌慈悲的心房：「懸掛著的兇犯中，有一個侮辱耶穌說：『你不是默西亞嗎？救救你自己和我們罷！』另一個兇犯應聲責斥他說：『你既然受同樣的刑罰，連天主你都不怕嗎？這對我們是理所當然的，因為我們罪有應得，但這個人從未做過甚麼不正當的事。』隨後說：『耶穌，當你來為王時，請你紀念我！』耶穌給他說：『我實在告訴你：今天你就要與我一同 在樂園裡。』」(23:39-43)

一 份誠摯的心，便贏得了天主的寬心！當我們深信天主的慈愛時，是救恩的開始。

Luanda, Angola, Mar 22, 2009 / 01:09 pm (CNA).- One million people gathered in Luanda, Angola on Sunday morning for the opportunity to see Pope Benedict XVI. In his message, the Holy Father spoke of prayer for reconciliation and peace, for only the light of God can overcome the great “darkness” cast by war and greed.

Beginning his speech, the Holy Father noted that the vivid description of “the destruction and ruin caused by war” in today’s readings, “echoes the personal experience of so many people in this country amid the terrible ravages of the civil war.” He added: “How true it is that war can ‘destroy everything of value:’ families, whole communities, the fruit of men’s labor, the hopes which guide and sustain their lives and work!”

“This experience,” the Pontiff expounded, “is all too familiar to Africa as a whole: the destructive power of civil strife, the descent into a maelstrom of hatred and revenge, the squandering of the efforts of generations of good people.”  He continued, “When God’s word, a word meant to build up individuals, communities and the whole human family, is neglected, and when God’s law is ‘ridiculed, despised, laughed at,’ the result can only be destruction and injustice: the abasement of our common humanity and the betrayal of our vocation to be sons and daughters of a merciful Father, brothers and sisters of his beloved Son.”

“Tragically,” he continued, “the clouds of evil have also overshadowed Africa, including this beloved nation of Angola.”

Benedict XVI went on to explain that we can easily think of the evils of war on a large scale: “the murderous fruits of tribalism and ethnic rivalry, the greed which corrupts men’s hearts, enslaves the poor, and robs future generations of the resources they need to create a more equitable and just society,” however we don’t think of that “insidious spirit of selfishness which closes individuals in upon themselves, breaks up families, and, by supplanting the great ideals of generosity and self-sacrifice, inevitably leads to hedonism, the escape into false utopias through drug use, sexual irresponsibility, the weakening of the marriage bond and the break-up of families, and the pressure to destroy innocent human life through abortion.”

We need God and his commandments, “not as a burden, but as a source of freedom: the freedom to become men and women of wisdom, teachers of justice and peace, people who believe in others and seek their authentic good.” He added: “God created us to live in the light, and to be light for the world around us!”

Turning to address the young people in the audience, he emphasized the importance of growing in a friendship with Christ and spreading the “Good News” among others.  He urged them: “Seek his will for you by listening to his word daily, and by allowing his law to shape your lives and your relationships.”

“In this way you will become wise and generous prophets of God’s saving love,” he continued. “Become evangelizers of your own peers, leading them by your own example to an appreciation of the beauty and truth of the Gospel, and the hope of a future shaped by the values of God’s Kingdom.”

“The Church needs your witness!” Pope Benedict concluded. “Do not be afraid to respond generously to God’s call, whether it be to serve him as a priest or a religious, as a Christian parent, or in the many forms of service to others which the Church sets before you.”

Luanda, Angola, Mar 21, 2009 / 03:34 pm (CNA).- Thousands of joy-filled African youth gathered in the Dos Coquerios Stadium in Luanda, Angola on Saturday afternoon to meet Pope Benedict XVI. In a heartfelt message to the young people, the Pope addressed their doubts and fears and challenged them to courageously build a future with God.

Well aware that it was only in 2002 that Angolans threw off the scourge of the 27 year-old civil war, Pope Benedict prepared for his meeting with the youth by listening to some of them share their doubts and ask him questions. As he spoke to the throng of youth this afternoon he said, “The embrace I exchanged with them is, naturally, an embrace which I offer to all of you.”

The Holy Father seemed to draw energy from the youthful crowd, declaring “Meeting young people is good for everyone!” as he began his address.

“You may have your share of difficulties,” the Pope said, “but you are filled with great hope, great enthusiasm and a great desire to make a new beginning. My young friends, you hold within yourselves the power to shape the future.

But the Pontiff was careful not to point them to their own abilities as the source of change. “I encourage you to look to that future through the eyes of the Apostle John,” who wrote in Revelation, “I saw a new Heaven and a new earth… and I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven, from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Behold the dwelling of God is with men.’”

“Yes, my friends! God makes all the difference… and more! God changes us; he makes us new! This is what he has promised: ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ It is true!” Pope Benedict exclaimed.

In the crowd of young people were some who have been maimed or disabled by the war of landmines and the Holy Father spoke directly to them:

“I think of the countless tears that have been shed for the loss of your relatives and friends. It is not hard to imagine the dark clouds that still veil the horizon of your fondest hopes and dreams. In your hearts I see doubt, a doubt which you have expressed to me today. You are saying: ‘Here is what we have. There is no visible sign of the things you are talking about! The promise is backed by God’s word – and we believe it – but when will God arise and renew all things?’”

“Jesus’ answer is the one he gave to his disciples: ‘Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?’ But you persist, dear young people: ‘Yes! But when will this happen?’ The Apostles asked Jesus a similar question, and his answer was: ‘It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.’ See how Jesus does not leave us without an answer; he tells us one thing very clearly: renewal starts from within; you will receive a power from on high. The power to shape the future is within you.”

Likening the healing work of God within them to the parable of the Sower and the Seed, the Pope told the youth that they are the seeds God has planted the future in.

“My dear friends, you are a seed which God has sown in the world, a seed that contains power from on high, the power of the Holy Spirit. And yet, the only way to pass from the promise of life to actually bearing fruit is to give your lives in love, to die for love.”

Pope Benedict then encouraged the youth to “not be afraid to make definitive decisions” despite the many uncertainties that they see.

“You do not lack generosity – that I know! But the idea of risking a lifelong commitment, whether in marriage or in a life of special consecration, can be daunting. You might think: ‘The world is in constant flux and life is full of possibilities. Can I make a life-long commitment now, without knowing what unforeseen events lie in store for me? By making a definitive decision, would I not be risking my freedom and tying my own hands?’ These are the doubts you feel, and today’s individualistic and hedonist culture aggravates them. Yet when young people avoid decisions, there is a risk of never attaining to full maturity!” the Pope said.

“Take courage! Dare to make definitive decisions, because in reality these are the only decisions which do not destroy your freedom, but guide it in the right direction, enabling you to move forward and attain something worthwhile in life,” Benedict XVI encouraged.

“There is no doubt about it: life is worthwhile only if you take courage and are ready for adventure, if you trust in the Lord who will never abandon you.”

The Pope closed his speech by calling on the young people of Angola to “unleash the power of the Holy Spirit within you, the power from on high! … This is the life worthy of being lived, and I commend it to you from my heart. May God bless the young people of Angola!”

（梵蒂岡電臺訊）21日下午，教宗本篤十六世在羅安達的多斯科克伊羅斯運動場與青年舉行了期待已久的會晤。這項會晤的主題是：“看，我已更新了一切。”烈 日下，數以千計的青年懷著極大的熱情歡迎教宗的來到。教宗開門見山，點出他與青年們會晤的目的說：“你們來這裏爲會見伯多祿的繼承人，同我一起在所有人面 前宣講相信耶穌基督的喜悅，更新在我們這個時代做他忠信門徒的承諾。”

鼓起勇氣，你們不孤單，耶穌不會弃你們不顧：這是 本篤十六世向安哥拉和全非洲的青年發出的强烈訊息。這項盛大會晤活動是在充滿喜悅和熱情的氣氛中進行的，只是隨後傳來的兩個女孩在擁擠的人群中不幸死亡的 消息令人感到悲哀。會晤一開始，安哥拉主教團青年和聖召委員會主席阿爾梅達主教向教宗致詞。

“本篤朋友，安哥拉同你在一 起！”：安哥拉的青年們熱情地把教宗迎入舉行會晤的多斯科克伊羅斯運動場，這項喜悅事件宛如非洲的世青節。教宗提起1992年安哥拉的青年們在同一個城市 與先教宗若望保祿二世舉行了會晤，他說：“面貌有些不同，但心中的愛是相同的，看，站在你們面前的伯多祿現任繼承人，他擁抱你們在耶穌基督內的所有人。” 教宗聆聽了幾個青年的見證幷爲之感動，他們講述了自己的悲慘經歷、戰爭留下的創傷、貧窮狀况，也提出了得救贖的願望。教宗爲所有在場的人說了鼓勵的話，他 提醒他們，要是我們是耶穌基督的朋友，就不要害怕做出决定性的選擇。

教宗說：“會晤青年人對大家都有益處！他們有時遇到許多困難，但懷抱著極大希望、極大熱情、極大重新開始的願望。”教宗又强調，青年人身上保持著“未來的活力”。他借這個機會再次重申，只有耶穌能徹底改變我們。

教 宗說：“是的，我親愛的朋友們，天主作出改變，使改變更大！天主使我們改變，使我們成爲新人。”教宗又說：“耶穌基督進入永恒，成爲各時代的上主。”因此 “天主是新人類的未來。”“他的教會正是這一切提早來到的開端。”教宗建議青年們，你們若有機會“要仔細閱讀與其有關係的歷史：你們就會瞭解到教會隨著年 代歲月的流逝却不蒼老，反而越來越年青，因爲與上主相遇，每天都更加接近流出青春、得以再生、賦予生命力量的唯一真正泉源。”

教 宗再次提到戰爭帶來的悲劇，指出在場的數千名安哥拉青年中有一些人是殘疾者，也有一些人爲失去了他們的家人而痛苦。他說：“我看到在座的數千人當中有些是 因戰爭和地雷而導致殘疾的人，我想到你們中的許多人爲失去親人而流下的無數眼泪，不難想像，烏雲仍舊覆蓋著你們美好夢幻的天空。”教宗說，我看穿你們的 心，“你們向我提出一個疑問：‘天主何時起身更新一切呢？’”

教宗向他們保障：“你們看，耶穌不會不答復我們，他清楚地 告訴我們一件事：更新從內心開始，你們要領受自上而來的力量。未來的能動力會在你們內心找到。”耶穌告訴我們生命“在種子內”，這粒種子就是他的聖言。教 宗强調：“未來臨在于種子內，因爲種子蘊含著明日的食糧，明日的生命。種子看起來沒有什麽，但是有未來的臨在，是今天已經作出的承諾。”

教 宗繼續說：“你們是天主撒在地裏的種子：這粒種子把自上而來的力量，聖神的力量帶到心裏。”教宗告誡青年們說，不過“爲從生命的承諾過渡到未來，唯一可行 的路是爲了愛奉獻出生命，爲了愛而死去。”耶穌正是這樣做了：“他被釘死在十字架上看來一切都完了，但幷非如此。”“他能够在各個時代的每個時間和地點結 出果實。”教宗也勉勵青年們進入“聖體的熱能”中同天主持續對話。

教宗指出主流的社會文化無助于青年一代按照耶穌的聖言生活，也無法幫助他們按照天父的計劃接納對他們提出奉獻自己的邀請。儘管如此，教宗說：“能在你們身上找到力量，正如耶穌所說的：父在我身上完成了他的工程。”

教 宗于是邀請青年人不要害怕做出長遠决定，“在一生度婚姻生活或奉獻的特別生活所冒的風險面前，你們感到害怕。”：“我莫非用終身决定來爲我的自由下賭注， 用自己的雙手把我捆綁起來嗎？”教宗說，這些“是你們支配你們的疑惑，眼下個人主義和享樂主義的文化更加劇了這些疑惑。”但是，“青年人若不做决定，他會 永遠是個孩子。”

教宗最後向安哥拉的青年發出强烈呼籲：“鼓起勇氣來！敢于做出長遠决定，因爲說實在的，只有這些長遠决定不摧毀自由，反而引向正確方向，得以前行，在生命中做出重大的事。”教宗鼓勵安哥拉青年有“冒險的勇氣”，讓聖神進入自己心中，好使自己的生命煥然一新。

（梵蒂岡電臺訊）教宗本篤十六世牧靈訪問非洲一星期行程將于今天三月二十三日上午十點三十分結束。他在安哥拉首都羅安達國際機場接受總統若澤·愛德華多·多斯桑托斯、全國正要、主教團、以及各界代表歡送之後便起飛，踏向歸程，預計經過七個半小時的飛行之後，返抵羅馬。

教 宗非洲此行非常順利成功，非洲人民對教宗言論和教會信仰的看法及感受與西方部分人士不同，他們重視教宗的坦誠和忠告，對教宗的忠言不以爲逆。教宗提醒非洲 人民不要相信安全套絕對可以避免愛滋病，不要相信墮胎是解決人口問題和維護婦女生育健康的途徑。對教宗的忠告非洲人民很重視，很感激。但西方一些媒體和國 際組織及政界人士卻頗有微言，他們就像教宗三月二十日下午在安哥拉總統府向全國政要及外交使節團說的，先進國家和國際組織以及跨國公司把自己的計劃方案加 給非洲國家接受推行。

從教宗非洲此行，我們看到非洲人民是如何地愛戴他，歡迎他來到他們中間，因爲他們知道教宗真正關心他們的前途命運， 也為他們的尊嚴在世界舞臺上請命。三月二十一日下午數萬安哥拉青年湧向首都運動場會晤教宗，聆聽他向他們講話，以及二十二日星期天上午來自安哥拉全國各地 百萬以上的人參與教宗為他們主持的彌撒聖祭，就是最好的證明。教宗所到之處，人們載歌載舞，真情流露，令人感動。難怪教宗心情愉快，笑容常開。

二 十二日星期天上午十點鐘，教宗在羅安達一個空曠的場地，為來自全國各地的一百多萬安哥拉人民舉行主日彌撒禮儀，參與共祭的是來自非洲南部九個國家的主教團 代表，除了安哥拉本國和聖多美外，還有博茨瓦納、南非共和國、斯威士蘭、萊索托、莫桑比克、納米比亞以及津巴布韋。當天羅安達天氣晴朗多雲，卻悶熱。彌撒 祭臺設在一個以鋼架架設的巨大半圓形帳篷下，外觀很簡樸，祭臺背後懸褂著一支巨大的十字架，別無其它裝飾。教宗右邊為他襄禮的蒙席時而交給教宗一條白色手 帕，讓教宗擦汗，可見天氣多麽悶熱。

這台彌撒是四旬期第四主日的禮儀，彌撒意向是為非洲南部地區祈禱。教宗在講道中又回到他已經多次提過 的戰亂悲劇，因爲非洲許多國家曾經、或仍然處在内戰中，耗費國家無限人力物力，驅人民于水深火熱之中，民不聊生。教宗警告：當天主的話被忽略，不受重視， 當天主的法律受到嘲笑和侮辱，它的結果只會帶來破壞和不正義。教宗說非洲人民已經備嘗部落部族之間彼此對立、互相殘殺之苦，以及人心貪婪造成的腐敗。他說 貪婪使窮人變爲奴隸，使下一代的人缺乏建設一個團結與公正社會所必要的資源。

四旬期第四主日為安哥拉是個重要的日子，因爲全國在這一天特 別為國家的修和祈禱，做刻苦犧牲。彌撒開始之前，教宗先提到一件令他哀痛的不幸事件，那就是前一天下午他在羅安達運動場會晤數萬青年時，發生人群擁擠推倒 踩踏意外，不幸有兩位青年喪生，另有十幾位受傷。當時教宗不知情，事過很久才有人告訴他這件悲劇。因此，在彌撒開始之際，教宗特別當衆表示沉痛的哀悼，他 說亡者是前來看他的，卻遭遇這個不幸，令他哀痛不已。教宗向兩位青年的家屬親友深深致哀，並答允為亡者和受傷者祈禱，也祝望傷者早日康復。

教 宗向眼前非洲南部九個國家的主教和百萬教友說：“根據苦澀的經驗，你們知道破壞容易，建設難。建設需要時間、勞苦和毅力。所以你們必須使自己的堂區不但成 爲天主真理和基督修好之愛所光照的團體，更要使這個團體具體表現愛德的行爲”。教宗激勵安哥拉全國教友不要擔心害怕他們的這種態度逆社會潮流而行，因爲時 代風尚喜歡把別人當作工具來利用，而不把他們當作兄弟姐妹來看待。

教宗在彌撒講道中再次勉勵安哥拉青年不要害怕選擇耶穌基督，他說：“從 今天起，你們要在基督的友誼中成長，他是道路、真理和生命。這樣的友誼必須以謙遜與恆心的祈禱來滋養和加深。你們要尋求基督對你們的旨意，每天聆聽他的 話，讓他的法律來塑造你們的生活和人際關係。這樣，你們就會成爲天主救恩之愛的先知，成爲向你們同伴傳播福音的人，以你們的善表引導他們重視福音的美和真 理，使他們盼望一個以天國的價值打造的前途”。教宗勉勵青年們不要害怕慷慨響應基督的召叫，以獻身教會生活或爲人父母或教會提供的其他方式來為天主服務。

彌 撒結束時，教宗當場帶領人山人海、一望無際的信友頌念三鐘經，並再次發表簡短談話，邀請他們為第二屆非洲主教特別會議祈禱，同時為非洲大湖區的和平呼籲。 他說：“在非洲南部這裡，我們願意特別祈求聖母為和平、為人心的歸依、為鄰近大湖區戰亂的早日結束轉禱。願聖母的愛子，和平之王耶穌基督使受苦的人得到痊 愈，哭泣的人得到安慰，推動艱困對話談判和消弭暴力的人獲得力量”。
