先知歐瑟亞書以一段發自內心的悔改呼召結束。
這段呼召中蘊含著令人驚訝之處:先知將新的愛的關係描繪成生活在一個奇妙迷人的花園中,一個全新的伊甸園樂園,在那裡,主是一切生命和美的源泉。
這些意象啟發我們默想大自然之美,並從中學習如何與主建立關係:我們需要學習如何在祂面前保持安靜和敬畏,如何享受祂神秘的至福。
The book of the prophet Hosea ends with a heartfelt appeal to conversion. In this appeal there is something surprising: the prophet portrays the new love relationship as living in a marvelous, enchanting garden, a new Eden, where the Lord is the source of every life and beauty.
These images suggest us to contemplate the beauty of nature and learn from its rhythm how to live our relationship with the Lord: we need to learn how to be still and enchanted in front of Him, how to enjoy His mysterious beatitude.
