St. John Vianney - Memorial 聖若翰維雅納節日

我們常常希望我們的事情完成盡快。然而，作為基督的證人不能這麼快做到。如果我們想成為耶穌有效的證人，我們需要有3個重要的特徵：熱情，耐心和毅力。

今天，我們慶祝聖若翰維雅納的節日。聖若翰維雅納是本堂神父的主保。他用熱情，耐心和毅力關心天主的子民，讓亞爾斯村莊所有的人轉換從惡習到美德。所以，他是一個例子我們應該模仿。

各位教友，我們應該為我們的神父們祈禱，以便他們更熱中他們的聖職，讓他們更熱情履行他們的使命。我們也應該為自己祈禱，我們會更加努力見證基督的福音跟其他的人。願耶穌的聖心激勵我們效法他的榜樣。

We often want things to be done quickly. However, when it comes to being witnesses of Christ, it is often not possible to rush things. If we want to be an effective witness of Jesus, we need to have three important characteristics: passion, patience and perseverance.

Today we celebrate the memorial of St. John Vianney. St. John Vianney is the patron of parish priests. With passion, patience and perseverance, he showed great care and concern for God’s people, especially in the village of Ars, gradually converting the entire village from vices to virtue. Therefore, he is a good example for all of us to follow and imitate.

Let us pray for our priests, that they will continue to be faithful to their vocation, and enthusiastic in carrying out their mission. We also pray for ourselves, that we will make even more effort to be witnesses of Christ’s Good News to others. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus inspire us to imitate His example.
