走進教堂
走進教堂
參與一位從幼稚園開始認識的女同學婚禮,
想起有點恐怖…那麼多年…
亦珍惜這份難能可貴的友誼…
巳有一段長時間沒到過教堂參與彌撒,
一位修女曾說過…
「心不在,離開一段時間吧!心在時,再回去」
這句話一直記在心中,而我亦一直沒有回去…
要是參與彌撒的原因只有兩個:葬禮、婚禮
只想給他/她們一個祝福。
走進教堂,感覺陌生,格格不入
聽到了熟悉的經文,詩歌,
原來它們已不知不覺刻印在腦中,
…但沒有因此而投入…只是旁觀者
感動…
是被一對新人對雙方的感情敢於作出承諾、分擔及
擁有共同的宗教熱誠而感動…
加上由五位神父主持彌撒(十分特別情況下才出現的),
教堂裡,感覺到它的存在、它給這對新人的祝福…
***
曾經在一所教堂裡強烈地感覺到它的存在…
想起來也有點矛盾,一個「離開」了的人
也會感覺到它的存在…
另一矛盾是…
教堂現成了旅遊點、像看博物館…
亦把它成了旅行時靜思的地方…
到教堂的真正意義巳沒有…
…我就是一個這樣矛盾的人…
想的、說的和行動的也是不一致…

Nice photo! So tranquil and spiritual!!
If a church or temple can attract the attention of visitors or whoever does not believe in God, it's not entirely bad. Years before when i visit St. Peter, i was totally capitivated by its sacredness. Faith is something so miraculous, which can only be understood when you feel it as real.
it's my very first time to attend a wedding ceremony in a church for friend so close to me. I am touched by their devotion to each other. So nice to meet up with teachers and old classmates there as well.
hope to see you around soon.
