教宗方濟：大公會議是聖神的化工，但是有人企圖走回頭路
（梵蒂岡電台訊）教宗方濟4月16日清晨在聖瑪爾大之家的小堂
舉行了彌撒聖祭，梵蒂岡城國政府主席若瑟．貝爾泰羅樞機和耶路
撒冷拉丁禮宗主教福阿德．特瓦爾一同共祭，梵蒂岡城國政府的一
些職員參加了禮儀。教宗在彌撒講道中強調，聖神推動人和教會向
前邁進，但是我們卻予以反抗，不願意改變。
當天禮儀的讀經一告訴我們，殉道聖人斯德望在被石頭砸死之前宣
講基督的複活，以言辭警告在場的人說：「執拗的人啊！你們時常
反抗聖神」。聖斯德望指出他們迫害先知，在殺死先知後為其修建
「漂亮的墳墓」，並且只在事後敬仰他們。教宗表示，耶穌也訓斥
厄瑪烏的門徒說：「無知的人啊！為信先知們所說的一切話，你們
的心 竟是這般遲鈍！」。教宗指出：「我們也時常反抗聖神。說白
了，聖神使我們煩惱。因為祂推動我們，讓我們行走，推動教會前
行。我們像伯多祿一樣，會在耶穌顯聖容時說：『啊，這樣真好，
大家都在一起！』我們不希望有煩惱，我們希望聖神昏昏入睡……
試圖馴服聖神，但這是不可能的。因為祂是天主，祂是來去的風，
你不知道祂從哪裡來。聖神是天主的神力，祂可以賜予我們安慰和
前行的動力。但是前行使我們煩惱，我們更喜歡安逸。」
教宗接續說，今天，似乎我們所有人都對聖神的希望感到高興，但
「其實不然。這種安逸的誘惑今天依然存在。舉個例子，讓我們設
想一下大公會議」，教宗說： 「大公會議是聖神的美妙化工。教宗
若望二十三世是一位很好的本堂神父 ，他順從聖神，召開了梵二
大公會議。但是在50年後，我們是否完成了聖神在梵二大公會議時
提出的全部要求呢？教會的發展是否沿襲大公會議的精神呢？沒有。
雖然我們舉行紀念活動，豎起一座紀念碑，但是我們不希望有煩惱。
我們不願意改變。甚至還有些試圖走回頭路的聲音。而這便是執拗，
便是企圖馴化聖神，便是無知和心靈遲鈍。」
教宗還說，同樣的事也在我們個人的生活中發生。事實上，「是聖神
在推動我們走上更符合福音精神的道路」，然而我們卻予以反抗。
教宗最後勉勵說：「不要反抗聖神。聖神藉著耶穌的自由、天主子
的自由，讓我們獲享自由！ 不反抗聖神是我希望大家都向上主懇求
的一個恩寵。我們要順從聖神，因為祂臨在我們身上，讓我們在教會
如此美好的成聖之路上前進。願我們獲享順從聖神的恩寵。」

Pope: 2nd Vatican Council, work of Holy Spirit
but some want to turn back the clock.
Pope Francis said the Holy Spirit pushes people and the Church forward
but we resist this and do not want to change. His remarks came during
his homily at the Mass on Tuesday morning celebrated at the Santa Marta
residence which was dedicated to Benedict XVI in honour of his 86th
birthday. Susy Hodges reports:
Text follows:
Pope Francis dedicated Tuesday's mass to Benedict XVI 16th who turned 86
on this date. "May the Love be with him, comfort him and gave him much
consolation," he said.
Pope Francis' homily at the mass was centred on the theme of the Holy Spirit
and our resistance to it. It took its inspiration from the first reading of
the day which was the story of the martyrdom of St. Stephen who described
his accusers as stubborn people who were always resisting the Holy Spirit.
Put frankly, the Pope continued, "the Holy Spirit upsets us because it moves
us, it makes us walk, it pushes the Church forward." He said that we wish
"to calm down the Holy Spirit, we want to tame it and this is wrong."
Pope Francis said "that's because the Holy Spirit is the strength of God,
it's what gives us the strength to go forward" but many find this upsetting
and prefer the comfort of the familiar.
Nowadays, he went on, "everybody seems happy about the presence of
the Holy Spirit but it's not really the case and there is still that
temptation to resist it." The Pope said one example of this resistance was
the Second Vatican council which he called "a beautiful work of the Holy
Spirit." But 50 years later, "have we done everything the Holy Spirit was
asking us to do during the Council," he asked. The answer is "No," said
Pope Francis. "We celebrate this anniversary, we put up a monument but we
don't want it to upset us. We don't want to change and what's more there are
those who wish to turn the clock back." This, he went on, "is called
stubbornness and wanting to tame the Holy Spirit."
The Pope said the same thing happens in our personal life. "The Spirit
pushes us to take a more evangelical path but we resist this." He concluded
his homily by urging those present not to resist the pull of the Holy Spirit.
"Submit to the Holy Spirit," he said, "which comes from within us and
makes go forward along the path of holiness."
