Daily Thoughts for the Year for Priests (December 29)

Worth more than anything

If we are united, Jesus is among us. And this has value. It is worth more than any other treasure that our heart may possess; more than mother, father, brothers, sisters, children. It is worth more than our house, our work, or our property; more than the works of art in a great city like Rome; more than our business deals; more than nature which surrounds us with flowers and fields, the sea and the stars; more than our own soul.
It is he who, inspiring his saints with his eternal truths, leaves his mark upon every age.
This too is his hour. Not so much the hour of a saint but of him, of him among us, of him living in us as we build up – in the unity of love – his Mystical Body.

何为贵

如果我们合而为一,耶稣便在我们中间,这才是最有价值的。
合一比任何一件人心所能够拥有的宝贝都贵重:贵于父母、兄弟、儿女。
贵于房屋、工作、财产;贵于一所遍布艺术作品的大城市,比如罗马;贵于我们所经营的生意;贵于我们四周充满鲜花、草原、大海和星空的大自然;甚至比我们的灵魂都贵重。
也就是他、基督,以其永恒真理之光照耀着他的圣者们,在每一个时代创造新的纪元。当然,如今也是他的时辰:不仅仅是一位圣人,而是他自己,临在且生活在我们中间,在爱的合一中来建树他的奥体。

卢嘉勒
