神会

When we are in doubt or difficulty, when many voices urge this course or the other, when prudence utters one advice and faith another, then let us be still, hushing each intruder, calming ourselves in the sacred hush of God's presence; let us study His Word in the attitude of devout attention; let us lift up our nature into the pure light of His face, eager only to know what God the Lord shall determine─and ere long a very distinct impression will be made, the unmistakable forth-telling of His secret counsel.

当我们犹豫不决的时候，或者遭遇了甚么困难的时候，有许多声音会来催促我们这样做，那样做；智慧会发表意见，信心也会发表意见；遇到这样的时候，我们就当安静下来，排除所有的意见静静地等候在神的面前。恭恭敬敬地把神的话寻思一回；专心仰望神的旨意─不久我们就会得到一个极清楚的声音，明明白白地告诉我们神机密的指导。

Islamic traditions further record that, in vengeful anger, Iblis promises God that he will lead as many humans astray as he can, to which God replies that it is the choice of humans - those who so desire will follow Satan, while those who so desire will follow God.

伊斯兰传统更进一步地记录，在复仇心重的愤怒中，恶魔向神许诺他会尽可能地引导尽量多的人进入岐途，而神回答说这是人的选择——那些想跟随撒旦的会跟随撒旦，想跟随神的会跟随神。

And if a poet writes of the sufferings of Niobe --the subject of the tragedy in which these iambic verses occur--or of the house of Pelops , or of the Trojan war or on any similar theme, either we must not permit him to say that these are the works of God, or if they are of God, he must devise some explanation of them such as we are seeking; he must say that God did what was just and right, and they were the better for being punished; but that those who are punished are miserable, and that God is the author of their misery-- the poet is not to be permitted to say; though he may say that the wicked are miserable because they require to be punished, and are benefited by receiving punishment from God; but that God being good is the author of evil to any one is to be strenuously denied, and not to be said or sung or heard in verse or prose by any one whether old or young in any well-ordered commonwealth.

如果诗人去描写尼俄柏丧尽儿女令石头也流泪的悲痛——这些悲剧主题在诸如此类的抑扬格诗歌中随处可见——或者去描写佩罗普斯王族的父子相残，或者去描写特洛伊战争之类的主题，那么我们不能允许诗人说这些残暴故事都是神造的孽，就算跟神有关，那也应该解释清楚来龙去脉；他应该说明神帮扶正义和真理，而那些罪人的下场都是罪有应得；而不是去描写受到惩罚的人是如何如何的悲惨，神则是炮制这些悲惨的罪魁祸首——我们是不会让诗人这么去胡编乱造的；然而诗人可以去描写邪恶之人其所以都会其悲惨的结局是因为他们必须遭受惩罚，并因他们接受神的惩罚而使大家受益匪浅；说神代表着善却又是恶的帮凶会遭到所有人的极力反对，诗文中就再也不要去传播、歌唱或者道听途说地去宣扬这些恶事了，秩序井然的联邦中人民不论老少都不应该听到这些恶事。

If you will only get alone, where the lights and shadows of earth cannot interfere, where human opinions fail to reach─and if you will dare to wait there silent and expectant, though all around you insist on immediate decision or action─the will of God will be made clear; and you will have a new conception of God, a deeper insight into His nature and heart of love, which shall be for yourself alone─a rapturous experience, to abide your precious perquisite forever, the rich guerdon of those long waiting hours.

只要你肯独自安静在一个地方─人世间的光明和黑暗，一概接触不到的地方─人们的意见不能到达的地方─只要你敢在那里静静地等候着，不顾你四围一切的催促，那时神旨意就要向你显明；你对神就会有一种新的概念，对祂的神性和爱心会有更深切的洞见，这会成了你极乐的经历─永久可宝贵的经历。你等待的时间虽长，至此也得到了丰富的酬报。

I thank the gods for giving me such a brother, who was able by his moral character to rouse me to vigilance over myself, and who, at the same time, pleased me by his respect and affection; that my children have not been stupid nor deformed in body; that I did not make more proficiency in rhetoric, poetry, and the other studies, in which I should perhaps have been completely engaged, if I had seen that I was making progress in them; that I made haste to place those who brought me up in the station of honour, which they seemed to desire, without putting them off with hope of my doing it some time after, because they were then still young; that I knew Apollonius, Rusticus, Maximus; that I received clear and frequent impressions about living according to nature, and what kind of a life that is, so that, so far as depended on the gods, and their gifts, and help, and inspirations, nothing hindered me from forthwith living according to nature, though I still fall short of it through my own fault, and through not observing the admonitions of the gods, and, I may almost say, their direct instructions; that my body has held out so long in such a kind of life; that I never touched either Benedicta or Theodotus, and that, after having fallen into amatory passions, I was cured; and, though I was often out of humour with Rusticus, I never did anything of which I had occasion to repent; that, though it was my mother's fate to die young, she spent the last years of her life with me; that, whenever I wished to help any man in his need, or on any other occasion, I was never told that I had not the means of doing it; and that to myself the same necessity never happened, to receive anything from another; that I have such a wife, so obedient, and so affectionate, and so simple; that I had abundance of good masters for my children; and that remedies have been shown to me by dreams, both others, and against bloodspitting and giddiness...; and that, when I had an inclination to philosophy, I did not fall into the hands of any sophist, and that I did not waste my time on writers of histories, or in the resolution of syllogisms, or occupy myself about the investigation of appearances in the heavens; for all these things require the help of the gods and fortune.

感谢诸神，赐我如此优秀的一位兄弟，他能够用自己的德行唤起我的自律，同时又用他的尊重和友情感动我；感谢诸神，我的孩子聪明伶俐，健康活泼；我没有沉迷于修辞、诗歌和其它这类学习，如果我以前发现自己学习这些东西时有所进步，那我可能会全身心投入其中；我毫不迟疑地把荣誉颁给那些抚育我成长的人，他们希望得到这一荣誉，但有人希望我过些时候再这么做，因为他们还年轻，我拒绝了；我还认识了阿波罗尼乌斯、汝斯堤古和马克西米鲁斯。清晰的印象经常出现在我心中，告诉我顺生自然，告诉我那是一种什么样的人生，因此，只要依靠诸神及其赐福，其保佑，其启示，就没有什么能阻止我顺生自然，尽管由于我自身的不足和没有注意诸神的警告（或者差不多可以说是诸神的直接指令），我还不能完全做到；我的身体已经维持了很长一段时间这种生活；我永远不会接触本尼迪克特或狄奥多士，我曾经陷入恋爱的激情，但现在已经摆脱；当我和汝斯堤古在一起时常常发脾气，但我从来没有做过一件让人后悔的事；尽管命中注定我母亲要夭亡，但她生命中的最后一年是和我一起度过的；每当我希望为人排忧解难或做其它事的时候，我从未告诉别人我爱莫能助；对我自己而言我从未陷于一筹莫展之地，需要别人的帮助；我有一位如此贤惠的妻子，温顺、挚爱、单纯；我的孩子有足够的好老师；神通过梦和其他方式向我指明了药物，用来治疗咳血、眼花等等疾病；当我迷上哲学时，没有被任何一个智者所迷惑，我没有浪费时间去撰写历史，思考三段论，或研究天象；因为所有这些需要得到神和命运的帮助。

Therefore we can say the life of Carmelite, the tradition of spirituality, have nourished Therese's spiritual experience, she inherited the spirit of her foundress St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, to love God intensely and progressively, that is the reason Therese fulfilled her spirituality and just like her foundress that having a sense of belonging to the church and apostolic spirit, enabling her fulfilled with the flame of saving souls, to become a patroness of the mission.

所以可以说圣衣会的生活、神修的传统，滋养了小德兰的神修经验，她承袭了会祖圣德兰和圣十字若望的精神，热切进取的爱主之情，因而成就了她的神修和像会祖一样富教会感和使徒精神，使她充满救灵的心火，成为传教区主保。

The harmless, inoffensive, and unsuspecting creatures, are so devoted to the Prophet, and the cause of Jesus Christ, that they do not dream of the deep laid and fatal scheme which prostrates happiness, and renders death itself desireable; but they meet him, expecting to receive through him a blessing, and learn the will of the Lord concerning them, and what awaits the faithful follower of Joseph, the Apostle and Prophet of God, When in the stead thereof, they are told, after having been sworn in one of the most solemn manners, to never divulge what is revealed to them, with a penalty of death attached that God Almighty has revealed it to him, that she should be his Spiritual wife; for it was right anciently,and God will tolerate it again: but we must keep those pleasures and blessings form the world , for until there is a change in the government, we will end anger ourselves by practicing it-but we can enjoy the blessings of Jacob, David, and others, as well as to be deprived of them, if we do not expose ourselves to the law of the land.

这些不伤害不具攻击性和不疑有她的受造物们这麼地奉献给先知和耶稣基督的缘故，她们没有梦想这深深隐藏和致死的阴谋会屈绝快乐和将死亡粉饰得可悦；她们会见他，期待从他得到祝福，并且从他学习神关於她们的心意。但等待著约瑟这个神的先知和使徒的跟随者的却是在最庄严的起誓决不泄漏显示的内容否则愿遭死亡惩罚后被告知全能的神向他启示她应该做他的属灵妻子。因为古早以前不是错事，现在神又再次允许。但是我们必须保持这个欢娱和祝福不让世界知道，直到政府更改，否则我们会因著实行它而带愤怒到我们身上。我们可以享受雅各、大卫和其他人的福份，但是我们也可以被剥夺，只要我们不暴露我们在这地的法律之前。
