殉道者圣维图斯的造访

Ecstasy of October 28, 1878

1878年10月28日的神魂超拔

St. Vitus is also known as St. Guy. His feastday is celebrated June 15 with St. Crescentia and St. Modestus.

圣维图斯也被称为圣祁。他的瞻礼日是6月15日与圣克西斯和圣莫多斯一起庆祝的。

According to tradition, these saints wereSicilians, St. Vitus is described as a child, St. Crescentia his nurse, and St.Modestus his tutor.

根据传统，这些圣人是西西里人，圣维图斯(A.D. 290-303)被描述为一个孩子(十三岁)，圣克西斯是他的护理者，圣莫多斯是他的个别指导。

（我查了网页资料得知，圣莫多斯应该是他的个别指导，而不是她的丈夫https://catholicsaints.info/saint-vitus/）

St. Vitus is patron of those who suffer epilepsy.He was martyred during the persecution of Diocletian in 303, in Lucania (SouthernItaly).

圣维图斯是癫痫患者的主保，他于卢西亚(意大利南部)在303年的戴克里田的迫害中殉道。

St. Vitus clarifies some errors recordedabout his life and gives details on his martyrdom.

圣维图斯(的显现)澄清了一些他生平记录上的错误，并详细描述了他的殉道。

“I am St. Vitus, brother of St. Modestus,Martyr.

“我是圣维图斯，圣莫多斯的兄弟，殉道者。

I was tortured at a time when Christian bloodflowed so abundantly at the hands of barbarian emperors who made so many martyrsand who made the Holy Religion and the Holy Church suffer.

在野蛮皇帝的手中，基督徒倾流大量的鲜血之时，我被折磨，这些野蛮的皇帝造成许多殉道者，使神圣的信仰和神圣的教会受苦。

I fell under their treacherous hands. I didnot run away.

我败倒在他们奸诈的手下，但没有逃跑。

I waited quietly for the hour of my martyrdomwithout fear. Nothing moved me.

我静静地没有惧怕地等待着我殉道的那一刻，没有什么使我动摇。

I was martyred for having supported firmlyand with faith the Sacraments instituted by Our Lord. For this reason, I shed myblood.

我因坚定的持守和忠信于主所建立的圣事而殉道，为此，我流了我的血。

The Emperor was angry, cursed and condemnedall that God had established. I supported with strength and courage the infallibilityof my God.

皇帝生气，诅咒和谴责了主所建立的一切。我主的绝对无误，以力量和勇气支撑了我。

I was stabbed, stoned and torn.

我被刀刺，被砸石头，被撕裂开。

My whole body was in tatters.

我的全身都破烂了。

My arms and chest were bare and without fear,without regret and without losing courage, I could contemplate with my mortal eyes,my flesh all torn to shreds.

我的胳膊和胸部光骨，但我没有恐惧，没有遗憾，没有失去勇气，我可以用我的眼睛默观，我的肉身都被撕成碎片。

My torturer ordered them to cut off my head.The order was executed.

酷刑者下令砍掉我的头，命令被执行了。

But I kept my eyes open and alive thoughmy body was separated from my head.

虽然我的身体和我的头分开了，但我的眼睛睁着，还活着。

I saw with my mortal eyes, all the tormentsthat they made my body suffer.

我用我肉身的眼睛，看着他们对我身体的所有折磨。

I saw my flesh thrown in pieces on the blood-coveredpaving stones.

我看见我的肉躯，一块块被扔在血淋淋的石铺路上。

I saw, until the end, the last shred of myflesh before my eyes closed forever.

直到我看完最后一块我的碎肉，我的眼睛才永远的闭上。

Nothing could turn my eyes, nothing couldclose my eyes before the hour of the Lord had arrived ...

在主的时刻来到之前，没有什么能转动我的眼睛，没有什么能闭上我的眼睛……

Now a word on behalf of Our Lord.

现在代表我们的上主说句话。

Oh! How we carry in our hearts a valuablefield and a garden enriched with the most heavenly gifts!

哦！在我们的心中怀有何等珍贵的土地和充满天赐恩宠的花园。

This field, this garden, is the soul of abrother Christian or sister Christian.

这片土地，这座花园，是主内弟兄姐妹的灵魂。

Our Lord designates every Christian a martyron earth, not one martyr is the same.

我们的主命定每一个基督徒在世上都是殉道者，但没有一个殉道是一样的。

God wants from some their blood and the othersa martyrdom of suffering, anxiety and depression.

天主要一些人流血殉道，另一些人以受苦、焦虑，和沮丧来殉道。

But what should make us rejoice on earthis that we exist by the Divine Will and that we are planted on earth of the Lordto be made fruitful in the holy virtues (that are so ) necessary.

但是，让我们在地上欢欣鼓舞的是，我们是按照天主圣意而存在的，我们是被植在上主的土地上，在圣洁的美德中去结果子，这是非常必要的。

Our adorable Lord gives us all, from theheights of Heaven, a thread to His most Divine Tenderness.

我们可钦崇的上主，从天堂的高处给了我们所有世人一根(无形的)线，联到祂最神圣的温柔。

It is through this thread that God directsus, to make us walk and lead us.

正是通过这条线，天主指示我们，使我们行走，引导我们。

When people say 'I walk alone on earth',no, dear brothers, you do not walk alone!

当人们说“我独自在世上行走”时，亲爱的兄弟们，你不是一个人走！

The thread of the immense love of God andHis love leads you, guides you and follows you everywhere.

天主无垠大爱的线和天主的爱引导你，指示你，伴随你，无处不在。

No one walks alone. Every soul has this threadof love to guide and direct.

没有人是独自行走的，每个灵魂都有这爱之线来引导和指示。

Our Lord, from the height of Heaven, is ourdriver and our guide.

我们的主，从天上的高处，是我们的牧者和向导。

The heart and the power of man are smallcompared to the immense power of God.

与天主浩大的能力相比，人心和力量是渺小的。

The heart of man is good. It is generous,sensitive.

人的心是好的，它是慷慨、敏锐的。

But none of this goodness, nor his feelings,nor his mercies, come close to the Divine Heart of Our Heavenly Father as He isgood, as He is tender, as He is full of love!

但是，人的这种善良，他的感情，他的慈悲，都远不如天父的善良，、温柔，、满了爱的神圣的心！

Do not consider yourself as being on theearth alone, neglected and abandoned.

切莫以为自己是孤独地在世上，被忽视和被遗弃的。

If a pastor moves away and seems to be indifferentto some of his sheep, will the Divine Shepherd of souls leave it there?

如果一个司铎离开了，似乎对他的一些羊漠不关心，那灵魂的神圣善牧会把羊留在那里吗?

No, He collects it, He caresses it, He consolesit.

不，祂聚集羊，祂爱抚它，祂安慰它。

Why is this pastor indifferent? He has, inhis heart, a ray in which lives and reigns charity, where it stays and grows.

为什么这个司铎冷漠呢？因为他内心有光，这光使他生活并行善，让他得以保持并成长。

But love has faded, collapsed with sorrow.A vein in in his heart broke and it is perhaps most necessary for himself and forhis own good and for his graces.

但这爱已经褪色，偕同悲伤而崩溃，他心里的一根血管已经破裂，或许为他自己、为他自己的益处，和为他的恩典来说，这才是最必要的。

God is not indifferent. God wants the pastorto love all the sheep of His flock, because God is not indifferent.

天主不是冷漠的，天主要司铎爱祂羊群中所有的羊，因为天主不是冷漠无情的。

He protects it, He retains the ungodly, Hegives him all His goods. He makes to grow in his field that (which) grows in thefield of Christian faithful.

祂保护羊，留住不敬虔的，把祂所有的一切都给了人，使人在祂的土地里生长，在基督徒忠信的土地里生长。

God is just and He announces this justiceto all the hearts on earth.

天主是公义的，祂将这正义公开传给世上的人心。

Let us live His justice! Let us imitate Hislove!

让我们活在祂的正义中！让我们效法祂的爱！

You, brothers of the Cross, who are calledon earth to bear the immense treasures of God's blessings, these treasures, it isthe cross that the Lord gives you.

你们，十字架的弟兄们，被召在地上，要承受天主降福的财宝，这些财宝，就是上主赐给你们的十字架。

You are not crushed. You do not even feelthe weight because you are called to bear the burden, you are counted as His truedisciples.

你没有被压碎垮，你甚至没有感觉到重量，因为你被召来承受重担，你被算作祂真正的门徒。

That is why the burden is light. The soulthat is not required to bear the burden is crushed; it is in anguish because itis not required to enter the home of the chosen disciples of the Lord.

这就是为什么负担是轻松的原因，那不愿承受负担的灵魂被压碎了，陷在痛苦之中，因为不愿意进入上主所拣选的门徒之家。

The path of our life on earth, which seemsso painful, so sorrowful and sometimes so dark in the eyes of our body, is, by theeyes of our soul, filled with stars and lights. It is brighter than the day in summer,illuminated by the sun.

人生的道路，在我们肉眼里似乎是如此痛苦、如此悲伤、有时如此黑暗，但在我们灵里的眼睛，却充满了星光，它比太阳照亮的夏日白昼还更明亮。

There is on earth, many souls who do notbelieve these Divine tenderness and Divine kindnesses.

世上有许多灵魂不相信天主的温柔和天主的仁慈。

These souls have a Faith so weak that ifthey had to enter the depths of their souls, we find that pale ray of the Faithnearly wiped out, almost consumed with desires and incredulous thoughts producedby this lack of Faith and confidence.

这些灵魂的信心如此软弱，如果他们必须进入灵魂的深处，我们发现信心的白光几乎被欲望和缺乏信心的怀疑所吞噬。

It is the lack of Faith, it is Faith eroded,it Faith tarnished and extinguished by a hardened and rebellious mind that makesthem believe that the Faith does not (lead to) progress in the life of man.

这是缺乏信心，是信心被侵蚀，是信心被顽固和叛逆的心思所玷污和湮灭，而这使他们认为信心不会 (导致)生命的进步。

Without faith, it is forbidden for man toprogress, (even make) a single act pleasing to God.

没有信心，人的进步是被禁锢的，甚至只是一个讨主喜悦的行为（都不会有）。

Faith is the treasure.

信心是财宝。

The lack of Faith is a dark hell.

缺乏信心是黑暗的地狱。

There are incredulous minds that shape inthe mind of man the idea that God does not really exist in all His power or thatHe uses His power in the sun, the stars or anything else.

有一些难以置信的想法在塑造人的心念，即天主并不真正存在于所有的能力中，或者他在太阳、星星或其他地方使用祂的能力。

They make them believe that God, existingin both parties, the sun and stars, no longer exists on earth or in power.

这种想法让他们相信天主，存在于太阳和星星中，不再存在于世上或能力中。

It is all in these two objects.

天主全都在这两个物体中。

What nonsense! What lightness! What madness!

多么荒唐！多么轻率！多么疯狂！

Since God is everywhere at once!

既然天主立刻无处不在!

Carry your cross and follow the path of deaththat is established on this earth.

背着你的十字架，遵从这世上建立的死亡之路走。

In leaving this earth,we enter into life.

离开这个尘世，我们进入生命。

The crosses are so precious, they are sorich, they contain so much love, happiness, that once the soul has entered suchtenderness, you can not take it away or pull it out of the huge furnaces that youfind it in.

十字架是如此珍贵，它们是如此丰富，它们包含着如此多的爱、幸福，一旦灵魂进入如此之温柔，你就不能把灵魂带走，也不能把它从巨大熔炉中拉出来。

The Cross raises the soul to heaven, quickly,lightly.

十字架使灵魂轻快地上升到天堂。

The cross gives the soul great benefits,huge favours, because all souls that are inflamed with this love are regarded mercifullythrough the Divine eyes of Our Lord. The arrival in Heaven is a joy for them.

十字架给灵魂带来了巨大的好处，无比的恩宠，因为所有被这爱点燃的灵魂，都是通过上主神圣眼睛仁慈地看待的。天堂的到来对灵魂来说是一种喜乐。

God rewards doubly when they arrive (to bewith) Him forever.

当灵魂永远与天主在一起时，天主会加倍地回报。

You who have the experience of sufferingand pain of the Holy Cross, you will see, one day, if my word sent to your soulswill not be full of sweetness, charms and delights in the Supreme Court of the Lord.

你们这些有过磨难和圣十字架痛苦的人，总有一天会在上主的至高法庭看到，是否我对你们灵魂说过的话是充满甜蜜、迷人和喜悦的。

（评注：圣人说的是，虽然现在他对我们说的话不那么吸引人，但是我们这些有过圣十字架苦难和痛苦的人，终将会有一天在天主的至高法庭看到祂对我们的加倍奖赏。事实上，我在翻译的时候，深深感到若不是在世经历十字架，现在正在上主那里的圣人，这么深刻的话是无论如何也说不出来的。）

Now I am leaving. Courage, dear brothersand sisters of the Cross, your portion is beautiful because you have the Cross thathas been the portion of all the elect, of all the Saints who reign in glory!

现在我要离开了，勇敢的、亲爱的十字架上的弟兄姐妹们，你们的这一份是美好的，因为你们有那十字架，你们就是众选民，并与众圣徒在荣耀中统治作王。

Persevere through all times and until death!I wish you peace and courage ...”

坚持不懈，直到死亡！祝你平安，愿你刚强壮胆……”
