到天涯海角

1931年,義大利的保祿會士在短短幾年內不斷擴展,雅培理神父已籌畫往海外發展。他陸續派遣兒女到美洲及世界各大洲。

戴格蘭修女為她的女兒提供所需的一切,幫助她們強化使命的精神,同時以她慣有的熱情鼓勵她們。「在妳們離開這個暫時的家鄉以前」,她寫給一群即將離開祖國的傳教士:「我衷心地問候及誠摰地祝福妳們,願妳們所去的國家成為妳們成聖的地方。妳們要成為有聖德的人。如果妳們沒有看到工作的善果,千萬不要氣餒。我們默默地做事,反而對人靈更有益處……。」

早期海外傳教的修女和義大利的姊妹一樣,過著貧窮、不穩定的生活,且肩負艱辛的工作。她們渴望以最有效率的方式將事情做到最好,但受限於不熟悉當地的語言和文化。戴格蘭修女心繫各地修女,每週寫信關心、支持她們面對內在或外在的困難。她忠信地遵循雅培理神父的指示,鼓勵她們保持工作的自主性,並盡力回應當地民眾的需要。

當時這些保祿孝女會小團體,為今日遍及全球的修會奠定了根基。她們的存在和活力奔放,無論是對於過去或現在,以最先進和有效的傳播工具宣傳福音與提升人靈的工作,具有深遠的意義。

此外,雅培理神父正在腦海中構思一個新的冒險事業:發行一本適合家庭閱讀的雜誌。起初,他委託聖保祿會修女負責。在1931年的聖誕節,首次發行《基督徒家庭》(Famiglia Cristiana)雜誌。發行這本雜誌的目的,是提供讀者以基督徒的觀點來詮釋、評價歷史。同時,也幫助讀者面對家庭中的各種問題與情況。在修女的努力下,雜誌的發行量與日俱增。直到1938年,雅培理神父把管理權轉移給聖保祿會神父。多年來,《基督徒家庭》雜誌在義大利廣受歡迎,實現了雅培理神父的話:「以基督徒精神談論一切事。」今天,在世界各國發行的家庭雜誌,都以義大利的《基督徒家庭》雜誌為範本。

1935年,戴格蘭修女連任聖保祿孝女會總會長。她從1936年春天開始,巡迴世界各地探訪她的女兒。無論到哪個國家,她總是與母院的修女保持聯繫,與她們分享在遠方國度修女的冒險事蹟。她在信中描述最觸動她的事是:「跟我交談過的人都說:出版品是必要的。我們的出版、我們的使徒工作是不可或缺的。」

戴格蘭修女以特有的堅定和熱情,希望每一位聖保祿修女徹底活出個人的聖召,將目光聚焦於真正重要的事:天堂。她殷切地教導她們:「人生稍縱即逝,所以我們要警醒。」她的智慧來自於洞悉住在天主內是多麼重要,並且要信賴祂,無論任何情況都將自己託付給祂。

戴格蘭修女高呼:「眼光要向上注視。天堂!那是我們真正的家鄉,天上導師已在那裡為我們預備地方,為到達那裡我們必須不惜付出一切。」

戴格蘭修女所關心的事務,足以顯示她靈修生活的深度,和她每天努力活出獻身生活的意義──生活於世界,但不屬於世界。對她來說,以具體的方式活出保祿會的使徒聖召,透過每天為聖言效勞的行動,雙目注視那超越時代的事物,並為所有人的焦慮與渴望祈禱,無論他們的種族、文化或宗教背景。她將雅培理神父熱切的問題銘刻於心:「人類往哪裡去?――地球上不斷更新面貌的人類走向哪裡?」

  4. If you want happiness for an hour take a nap. If you want happiness for a day go fishing. If you want happiness for a month get married. If you want happiness for a year inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime help someone else.

  5. Thanks for this article. I will also like to say that it can possibly be hard when you find yourself in school and just starting out to establish a long credit rating. There are many pupils who are just simply trying to survive and have a long or good credit history can be a difficult matter to have.

  8. You really make it seem so easy along with your presentation but I to find this topic to be actually one thing which I think I might never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely large for me. I am taking a look forward for your next publish, I will attempt to get the cling of it!

  9. Thanks for revealing your ideas. I might also like to convey that video games have been actually evolving. Better technology and enhancements have helped create sensible and interactive games. These kinds of entertainment games were not as sensible when the real concept was first being attempted. Just like other forms of electronics, video games too have had to advance through many many years. This itself is testimony on the fast progression of video games.

  11. My brother recommended I might like this web site. He was entirely right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine just how much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!

  12. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  13. This is the best weblog for anyone who wants to seek out out about this topic. You realize so much its virtually hard to argue with you (not that I really would want?HaHa). You positively put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Nice stuff, simply great!

  14. Thanks for your publication on this blog site. From my experience, occasionally softening way up a photograph might provide the wedding photographer with a little an imaginative flare. Oftentimes however, the soft blur isn’t precisely what you had planned and can sometimes spoil a normally good image, especially if you thinking about enlarging this.

  15. The core of your writing whilst appearing agreeable at first, did not really sit very well with me after some time. Someplace within the sentences you actually were able to make me a believer but just for a very short while. I nevertheless have got a problem with your jumps in logic and one would do well to help fill in those gaps. If you can accomplish that, I could certainly be amazed.

  16. Yet another issue is that video games are generally serious as the name indicated with the key focus on learning rather than entertainment. Although, there is an entertainment feature to keep your children engaged, every game is frequently designed to work with a specific group of skills or area, such as math concepts or technology. Thanks for your publication.

  17. Thanks for the strategies you share through your blog. In addition, many young women who seem to become pregnant will not even try to get health care insurance because they worry they couldn’t qualify. Although a lot of states at this moment require that insurers give coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions. Premiums on these kind of guaranteed plans are usually larger, but when with the high cost of medical care bills it may be some sort of a safer strategy to use to protect one’s financial future.

  18. The following time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my option to learn, but I really thought youd have one thing fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you would fix for those who werent too busy searching for attention.

  19. Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this amazing site. The thing I would tell people is to give up the actual mentality they can buy today and shell out later. Being a society all of us tend to make this happen for many issues. This includes getaways, furniture, and also items we’d like. However, you should separate the wants from the needs. When you are working to raise your credit score make some trade-offs. For example you possibly can shop online to save cash or you can click on second hand shops instead of pricey department stores for clothing.

  20. Thanks for your publication. One other thing is the fact individual states have their own personal laws which affect homeowners, which makes it extremely tough for the our elected representatives to come up with a brand new set of rules concerning foreclosures on householders. The problem is that a state offers own laws and regulations which may have interaction in an unfavorable manner on the subject of foreclosure insurance policies.

  21. Nearly all of the things you state happens to be astonishingly legitimate and it makes me wonder why I had not looked at this with this light before. Your piece really did turn the light on for me as far as this particular issue goes. However there is actually one issue I am not too comfortable with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual main theme of your issue, permit me observe just what the rest of the readers have to say.Very well done.

  22. Great paintings! That is the kind of information that are meant to be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for no longer positioning this post higher! Come on over and talk over with my web site . Thank you =)

  23. In this awesome scheme of things you actually get an A for hard work. Exactly where you lost me personally ended up being on the facts. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more true here. Having said that, let me say to you what did give good results. The article (parts of it) is definitely rather engaging and that is probably why I am making the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, whilst I can certainly see the jumps in logic you make, I am not really convinced of just how you appear to connect your points that help to make your final result. For now I will, no doubt yield to your position however trust in the foreseeable future you connect the facts much better.

  24. I was just searching for this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this kind of informative web sites in top of the list. Usually the top websites are full of garbage.

  25. In these days of austerity plus relative stress about having debt, most people balk resistant to the idea of making use of a credit card to make purchase of merchandise or even pay for a trip, preferring, instead to rely on the particular tried and trusted means of making repayment – hard cash. However, if you possess cash available to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that is the best time for them to use the credit card for several good reasons.

  26. Great work! This is the kind of information that are meant to be shared around the net. Disgrace on Google for no longer positioning this publish higher! Come on over and seek advice from my website . Thanks =)

  27. I?m impressed, I need to say. Actually rarely do I encounter a weblog that?s each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you may have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not enough individuals are talking intelligently about. I’m very pleased that I stumbled across this in my search for something referring to this.

  28. I have observed that car insurance organizations know the cars and trucks which are at risk of accidents and also other risks. Additionally they know what types of cars are inclined to higher risk as well as higher risk they’ve already the higher a premium rate. Understanding the straightforward basics regarding car insurance will allow you to choose the right sort of insurance policy that could take care of your family needs in case you get involved in any accident. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on the blog.

  29. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

  30. I have discovered some points through your blog post. One other stuff I would like to state is that there are several games on the market designed mainly for preschool age young children. They include pattern recognition, colors, animals, and designs. These usually focus on familiarization as an alternative to memorization. This makes little ones occupied without having the experience like they are learning. Thanks

  31. Good website! I really love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your feed which must do the trick! Have a great day!
