在先知依撒意亞的書中,我們讀到四首被稱為「上主僕人的歌」。上主藉著先知,親自與一位神秘人物對話,並賦予他一項普世使命。在今天的首歌我們得知,這位僕人將謙遜仁慈,同時又堅定不移、堅強有力,直至完成他的使命。
我們看到耶穌真擁有這些品格:不僅在他復活前在世的日子裡,而且直到今天,透過教會——他奧秘的身體——在世上的臨在,他依然如此。
In the book of the prophet Isaiah, we find four songs called the songs of the Servant of the Lord. Through the prophet, God himself talks to a mysterious personage and entrusts him with a universal mission. Today we learn that the Servant will be meek and merciful, but at the same time constant and strong, till the fulfilment of his task.
We see that Jesus has these attitudes: not only in the days of his life on the earth before Easter, but till now, through the way the Church, his mystical body, is present in the world.
