在2018年4月28日,夏志誠輔理主教祝福贖世主堂新設置的十四處「光明之路」。
「光明之路」由教徒鄺珮妍繪畫,設置於從地下上聖堂的樓梯旁。廖雅倫神父希望教友在參與彌撒後經過「光明之路」,生活聖言,成為「光明之子」,以言以行為復活主基督作見證。他說:「可留意作品的色彩和線條,從畫作中領略信仰中的復活幅度。」
「光明之路」是喜樂之路、和平之路,是因復活了的耶穌而來的動力之路。耶穌向我們說:「你們不要害怕!」生命是一段不停前進的路。我們要恢復生活的品質。生活的品質並非像今天的人所想像的以機器代替人力,而更是要加強自己的潛力而向前展望。「光明之路」賦予一個崇高的目標,就是追求與復活了的基督相像,他是我們追求善的最後保證。「光明之路」以復活了的基督給門徒們遣送他預許的聖神為結束………這便是最終的信息。如果沒有是天主和賜予生命的聖神,一定不會有具有品質的生活。
The 14 stations of “Via Lucis” adorning the Holy Redeemer Church were blessed by Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Ha Chi-shing on 28th April 2018.
They were painted by Ms. Elizabeth Kwong Pui-yin, and are now displayed on the wall alongside the stairway leading to the church. Rev. Joseph Liu Ah-lun willed everyone to live out the teachings of the Words and become the “Children of Light” through walking past “Via Lucis” after masses, so that everyone can be the witness of the Resurrected Christ in our words and actions. He said, “We may try to grasp the extend of resurrection in our belief by studying the colours and lines of the works.”
“Via Lucis” is a way of joy and peace. It is an energetic path paved with Jesus’s resurrection. Jesus enjoined us, “Do not be afraid!” Life is a never-ending journey and we have to restore the quality of our lives. It is not what people nowadays imaging that replacing human efforts with machines. What we have to work hard on is to strengthen ourselves and to look forward. “Via Lucis” set us a high ideal, urging us to imitate the Resurrected Christ because He is the supreme example of virtue. “Via Lucis” ends with the Resurrected Christ sending the Holy Spirit to His disciples as promised. This is His final message. Without God and Holy Spirit, we won’t be able to achieve a quality life.
