只要我們生活在世界上，就該懺悔。我
們是陶工手中的陶土。陶工捏塑陶器，若是
陶器變了形，或破碎了，他就再次塑造，一
旦被送入火窯中，燒製成器，就再沒有補救
的方法了；我們也是一樣，趁我們在世界上
時，該全心懺悔我們在身體上所犯的罪，好
使我們在有懺悔的機會時，獲得上主的救助。
我們離開世界以後，便再不能懺悔或做
補贖了。因此，弟兄們，我們要奉行天父的
旨意，保持肉身的貞潔，遵守上主的誡命，
我們便會獲得永生。主基督曾在福音中說：
「你們若在小事上不忠信，誰還把大事托給
你們呢？我告訴你們：誰在最小的事上忠
信，在大事上也忠信。」這就是說：你們要
保持身體潔淨，維護聖洗的神印完美無瑕，
才能獲得永生。
你們誰也不要說：這個肉身不會受審
判，也不會復活。請想一想：你們是在什麼
情況下得救，又重見光明的？不是在你們帶
著肉軀生活的時候嗎？所以我們該看守肉軀，
好像看守聖殿一樣；因為你們蒙召時，是帶著
肉軀；同樣，你們將來還要帶著肉軀來受審。
那拯救我們的基督。起初是神體，然後成為血
肉之人，他就是帶著肉軀召叫了我們；同樣我
們也將帶著肉軀接受酬報。
所以我們該彼此相愛，好使我們都能進
入天主的國。趁我們有時間就醫，就該把自己
交給我們的醫生──天主，並要給他酬勞。什
麼酬勞？就是出自誠心的懺悔。因為天主預知
一切，他洞悉我們心裡的一切。因此我們要
心口合一地讚頌他，好使他接納我們，好像
接納他的子女一樣。因為主說過：「凡是遵
行我天父旨意的，就是我的兄弟。」

Spiritual Corner Sincere Repentance
We should repent of our sins while we are still on earth. When a potter is making a vessel and it becomes misshapen or breaks in
his hands, he shapes it again; but once placed in the oven, it is beyond repair. Now the clay in the craftsman’s hands is an image of our-selves, and it teaches us that, while still in this world, we must wholeheartedly repent of sins
committed in the body and make it possible for the Lord to save us while there is time.
When we have left this world, we shall no longer be able to repent and confess our sins. We must do the will of the Father, keep our bodies pure, and observe the commandments of the Lord, for this is the way to obtain eter-
nal life. The Lord says in the gospel: If you have not been observant in small matters, who will entrust you with anything important? For I tell you that the man who is faithful in the smallest things is faithful in the greatest
things as well. In other words, in order to obtain eternal life, we must remain pure and keep the seal of our baptism undefiled.
Nor must any of you say that our bodies will not share in the judgment, nor rise again.
In what were you saved? In what did you receive your sight? Think for a moment. Was it not in this very body? Our bodies are the
temple of God, and as such we must guard them, for even as we were called in the body, so shall we also be judged in the body. Since Christ, our Lord and Savior, who in the begin-ning was spirit, became flesh and in this way
called us, it is in this flesh of ours that we shall also receive our reward.
Therefore, let us love one another, so that we may all attain to the kingdom of God. While we can still be healed, let us surrender ourselves into the hands of our divine physi-cian and give him his recompense—the recom-
pense of true sorrow for our sins. Since he who knows all things sees what is in our hearts, let us praise him with our hearts as well as our lips. He will then receive us as his sons. The Lord himself has said: Those who do my Fa-
ther’s will are my brothers.
