有時候，
光景似乎非常黑暗，
黑暗得連盼望都要等起來了。

在盼望中等候已經夠難了，
何況等候盼望呢?

一線光明也沒有，卻仍不肯絕望；
窗前盡是黑暗， 卻仍開著窗等候星宿；
心中有了空虛， 卻不許裝置污穢。

這就是宇宙中最偉大的忍耐。


There are times when things look very dark to me,
so dark that I have to wiat even for hope.
 It is bad enough to wait in hope.

A long-deferred fulfillment carries its own pain,
but to wait for hope,
to see no glimmer of a prospect and yet refuse to despair;
to have nothing but night before the casement and yet to keep;
the casement open for possible stars;
to have a vacant place in my heart and yet
to allow that plcae to be filled by no inferior presence -

Ｔhat is the grandest patience in the universe.

我所做的，
你如今不知道，
後來必明白。


You do not realize now what I am doing,
but later you will understand
(John 13:7) July 25



信心是相信我們所不見的，
信心的酬報，
就是得見我們所相信的。


Faith is to believe what we do not see,
and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe.
St. Augustine (July 24)
