或許，保祿寫德撒洛尼後書是為了解決當時教會的一個具體問題：有些門徒可能過於急切地盼望耶穌的再來，因此生活缺乏秩序。

保祿鼓勵他們享受生活，學習如何在平凡甚至單調的日常生活中，在日常的職責中，特別是在工作中，享受永生。

保祿的信息對我們所有人來說都很重要。

我們也需要在平凡的生活中，找到上主無限的臨在。

簡而言之：我們需要學習如何效法聖家的生活。

Possibly, Paul wrote the Second Letter to the Thessalonian to address a specific problem of that community: some disciples, perhaps, were too eager to see the second coming of Jesus; therefore, they did not live in an orderly way.

Paul encourages them to enjoy, to learn how to enjoy eternal life in the simple and perhaps monotonous flow of time, with its daily duties, in a special way the duty of working.

Paul’s message is important for us all. We too need to find the infinite of God’s presence in the simple life we all have.

In one word: we need to learn how to live the life of the Holy Family.
