保祿在信的第一部分結尾處,以一段代禱和隨後的頌榮作結。
他祈求天主讓我們認識耶穌的愛。
在閱讀前文之後,這段禱文能幫助我們理解保祿的靈性經驗以及他從中獲得的深刻領悟。
當我們默想耶穌的愛時,我們對世界的看法會緩慢而堅定地改變。我們會在這種愛的光照下看待萬物,如同天主看待它們一樣。
世界變得充滿光明,充滿天主的同在,以及祂的愛在眾人之間持續不斷的傳遞。
Paul concludes the first part of the letter with a prayer of intercession and the following doxology.
He asks God to let us know the love of Jesus.
Read after the preceding sections, this prayer gives us light to understand Paul’s spiritual experience and the deep insights he received through it.
When meditating on Jesus’ love, slowly but steadily our vision of the world changes. We see everything in the light of such love, in the same way as God sees them.
The world becomes full of light, full of God’s presence and the continuous exchange of his love among all.
