在主的啟示下,先知歐瑟亞對不忠妻子的愛,成為了救恩史上至關重要的篇章。
透過歐瑟亞,上主引導以色列人發現祂對選民那份真摯而信實的愛。
以色列人領悟到,主所要的並非一套形式化的禮儀,而是如同夫妻之間那般忠貞的愛。
即便對我們今天而言,這樣的領悟也並非易事。
然而,主始終在我們面前,祂向我們賜給祂無限的愛,並要求我們以全然委身於祂來回應這份愛。
這便是我們的幸福,也是我們體驗永生的途徑。
The love of the prophet Hosea for his unfaithful wife became, under the inspiration of the Lord, a decisive chapter in the History of Salvation.
Through Hosea, the Lord guided Israel to discover His personal and faithful love for the Chosen People. Israel discovered that the Lord wanted not a formal set of ritual observances but faithful love, as the love between wife and husband.
Such a discovery is not easy, even for us today.
However, The Lord is always in front of us, offering us His infinite love and asking us in return for it our total commitment to Him. This is our happiness and experience of eternal life.
