Imagine walking down the corridor outside your classroom and you see a classmate trip and fall, do you rush over to help, or do you turn away, hoping someone else will step in? Now, let’s think about the online world. Imagine yourself in a group chat with friends, where someone shares a funny picture with […]

Good morning everyone, we are the representatives of Dance Club, and the theme of this month is “respect differences, treat others with tolerance”. we all carry invisible lines in our minds, dividing “us” from “them.” We often walk past need, finding reasons not to get involved. But what if our true character is measured not

聖方濟各禱詞

今個月的主題是「求同存異,待人以寬」,而今天我正想跟大家分享一首我很喜歡的禱文,就是「聖方濟各禱詞」。 相信我們每個人都是喜愛和平,是締造和平的人。然而,在俗世中總會有矛盾、紛爭的地方,我們可以怎樣做呢?在這首禱詞中,正正教導我們要有「求同存異」之心,要學會在充滿憎恨、疑慮、黑暗的地方中播下不同的種子,提醒我們要主動成為宣揚和平的工具,要學會「求同存異」。 正如我們要在滿是憎恨的地方,播下寬恕的種子:這可說是待人以寬的最高境界,在充滿敵意、憎恨的「相異」之處,叫我們選擇主動播下寬恕的種子,這可說是個「愛德」的行動,試想想,要寬恕包容一個教你憎恨到不得已的人或事,那豈會是一件易事呢? 再如在滿是疑慮的地方,播下信心的種子:人與人的相處中,往往因為意見的不同而產生懷疑、不信任,在這裡,天主提醒我們要以信任和誠信來回應彼此,好能建立共同的信任基礎。 接著在滿是黑暗的地方,播下光明的種子:這裡所指的黑暗該不只是自然現象中的漆黑,亦可以理解為人與人之間的隔閡、誤解,若果我們能夠主動尋求解決的辦法,願意照亮彼此,光明的路自然就在面前。 可見這幾句禱詞提醒了我們要在分歧「存異」的事上,積極地尋找共同的連結「求同」,達至「求同存異」。 而禱詞的下半部分,也告訴著「待人以寬」的可貴。 因為我們「不企求他人的安慰」、「不企求他人的諒解」,只求「安慰」、「諒解」他人,許多時候,衝突、矛盾和紛爭都是源於對個人觀點的堅持和不退讓,我們時常要求別人聽自己、跟從自己,而忽視了去聆聽和了解別人,而這兩句正好提醒我們要學會包容,並以寬容的心看待別人,這樣一來,我們便能有所收穫,因為不計較,亦因為願意付出,自然能消融人與人之間的壁壘、隔閡,亦能為自己帶來內心的平安。 各位同學,要真正做到「求同存異,待人以寬」也許並不容易,但願當我們細讀這首禱詞時,能時刻提醒我們在俗世的紛爭和矛盾中,能彼此寬待,在不同的意見中能彼此包容,一起成為「締造和平」的使者。   Ms WY Lam
