la crèche à Thy-le-Château, les Béatitudes 2013
法國Vendée市法院裁定,每年聖誕期間在市政廳大堂擺放的「聖誕馬槽」場景,
需要立即「抄家」 (耶穌BB聖家喎,一家大細⋯⋯)
原因? 這帶有「宗教色彩」的擺設,與1905年國家政、教分離的條約,有所抵觸。
(哦!109年後「終於」實行!?)
膠的政府,全世界都有。
結果,陪伴大家成長的聖誕擺設,被換成閃閃聖誕樹同聖誕老老人,市民都若有所失。
有心人也在網上發起「唔好搞我個馬槽!!!」運動,大表不滿。
這不是單單宗教的問題,而是文化習俗。(試想像新年流流商場唔俾擺桃花?)
今年聖誕節,我眼前仍看得見一個又一個大大小小的⋯ 馬槽,
不得不為我們仍能享受的自由而:感謝天主!
我也感恩,因為我眼前的不是:超巨閃燈聖誕樹、禮物、聖誕(怪)老人、...
Message from Medjugorje, Jan 2 2015
"Dear children, I am here among you as a mother who desires to help you to come to know the truth. While I lived your life on earth I had knowledge of the truth, and by this alone, a piece of Heaven on earth. That is why I desire the same for you, my children. The Heavenly Father desires pure hearts filled with the knowledge of the truth. He desires for you to love all those whom you meet, because I also love my Son in all of you. This is the beginning of coming to know the truth. Many false truths are being offered to you. You will overcome them with a heart cleansed by fasting, prayer, penance and the Gospel. This is the only truth and it is the truth which my Son left you. You do not need to examine it much. What is asked of you, as I also have done, is to love and to give. My children, if you love, your heart will be a home for my Son and me, and the words of my Son will be the guiding light in your life. My children, I will make use of you, apostles of love, to help all of my children to come to know the truth. My children, I have always prayed for the Church of my Son, and so I also ask the same of you. Pray that your shepherds may come to shine forth with the love of my Son. Thank you."
