關於這座聖堂About this church

鑽石山聖文德堂於二〇一九年重建，以聖方濟所聞的召叫「方濟，去重建我的教會」為念。一二五九年，聖文德在拉維納山默想時，與色辣芬基督相遇；祭台上方的鑲嵌畫正描繪此景。St Bonaventure's in Diamond Hill was rebuilt in 2019, taking as its inspiration the call St Francis heard: “Francis, rebuild my church.” In 1259, while meditating on Mount La Verna, St Bonaventure encountered the seraphic Christ — the scene the mosaic above the altar depicts.

朝聖六步Six steps of pilgrimage

如何在此祈禱How to pray here

「我的殿宇，應稱為祈禱之所。」（瑪 21:13）願你走出自我去朝聖，在主內安憩。“My house shall be called a house of prayer.” (Mt 21:13) Step out of yourself on pilgrimage, and rest in the Lord.

1. 1 進入聖堂，首先跪下或坐下，閉上眼睛，祈禱：求聖神降臨。On entering the church, first kneel or sit, close your eyes, and pray: Come, Holy Spirit.
2. 2 張開眼睛，看聖言、看祭台、看聖像，讓景物進入眼簾，欣賞其意義。Open your eyes; look at the Word, the altar, the sacred images. Let the sights enter in, and contemplate their meaning.
3. 3 閉上眼睛，心裡再求聖神啟迪，全心跟隨，全心交託。Close your eyes again; ask the Holy Spirit for light, follow with your whole heart, and entrust yourself completely.
4. 4 走近每個角落，瞻仰聖像，為不同意向祈禱，請聖人代禱。Walk to each corner, gaze on the sacred images, pray for various intentions, and ask the saints to intercede.
5. 5 回到座位，心裡欽崇，全心讚美。Return to your seat; adore in your heart and praise with all your being.
6. 6 離開前可拍下富有意義的照片，作繼續祈禱之用。Before leaving, you may take a meaningful photo to carry your prayer onward.
