Gaitley神父今天幫助我們重溫聖高比對我們的教導。他以三個關鍵詞幫助我們:1)奧秘/奧蹟(Mystery),2)民兵(Militia),3)愛 (Love)。
聖高比是波蘭人,在第二次大戰的時候被納粹德軍的毒氣致死,成了殉道聖人。他一生致力明白聖母始胎無原罪的奧蹟,並成立“Militia Immaculata”,藉著基督和瑪利亞,努力將世界帶回慈愛天父的國度。
聖高比和他的團體有一個使命,就是絕對服從天主的旨意,就如聖母始胎無原罪所做的一樣。瑪利亞是聖神的淨配。聖高比相信:聖神本身就是“始孕無玷”,而瑪利亞是天主所創造的“始孕無玷”。所以當瑪利亞答應天主的邀請,聖神便傾注,並充滿在她內;亦是天主聖三和祂最愛的受造物最完美的結合。值得我們反思的是,瑪利亞和聖神的關係比我們想象來得更深厚。
聖高比相信最簡單追隨和接近耶穌的方法就是透過瑪利亞,完全交託給她,由她作為中保幫我們領受和傳播聖神的恩寵。因為天主完全信賴瑪利亞,將至愛之子交給她,同樣,我們可以信賴她可以帶我們到耶穌那裡。瑪利亞會憐憫、珍惜和愛我們每一個。聖高比認為如果我們真心愛天主,真心為祂的王國服務,我們就應該尋找最快最有效的方法成聖,然後回歸父家。“成聖”是聖高比一生努力的目標,他希望用盡全力光榮天主,他相信無玷瑪利亞是受造物中最懂得和時常地光榮天主的,只要能聯合瑪利亞便能完美地光榮天主。
聖高比認為越多人成聖,越多人成為天主的工具,就會越多人奉行天主的旨意。聖高比成立了“Militia Immaculata”,透過瑪利亞的帶領下,啟蒙和振興迷失的靈魂,如騎士般擊退惡勢力和打敗魔鬼,努力將世界帶回天父那裡。在聖高比的禱告中,他祈求無玷瑪利亞的幫助,他承認自己的罪過,甘願完全交託給瑪利亞,信賴她能踏碎魔鬼的頭顱(創3:15),甘願作她的小士兵小工具,將迷失的靈魂帶回天父身邊,努力擴展耶穌聖心的王國,將世界帶回慈愛天父那裡去。
主耶穌,求你派遣聖神來到我的心裡,帶領我,洗滌我,讓我這33日全然奉獻給你。

Jesus’ order to the six servants: “Fill the jars with water.” To the servants, that must have sounded quite irrational. At what part of the wedding feast did this happen: at the beginning, or the middle, or towards the end? Obviously it was towards the end; otherwise the wine would not have run out. Even the steward retorted to the bridegroom: “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” The water was for ritual-washing at the guests’ arrivals. Nobody else was going to arrive anymore. Why should the jars be filled?
But the servants did everything as Jesus had instructed them, and filled the jars to the brim.
Then they were told to draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet to drink. They “had drawn the water” and knew it was water, and it must have seemed rather ridiculous too – get the steward to taste water reserved for washing???
But they did, and the steward did.
The final result: Jesus “revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.” (John 2:11)
That was the point of the story: Jesus’ glory was revealed when people followed his orders. All those six servants plus the master of the banquet received directives from Jesus and did as they were told, immediately.
When Jesus tells you to do something, do it! Yes, read the gospel, but don’t just stop there. Heed his commands and take action.
Who initiated the proceedings at the start of Jesus’ public ministry? His mother, Mary, who knew the events that day would draw attention to her glorious Son. That was her vocation. That is still her calling. Her message at Cana was, and will always be: “Do whatever Jesus tells you!” (John 2:5)
That is also why we consecrate ourselves to Mother Mary.
