殉道者的血是信仰的种子

今天为中国教会是一个非常特殊的日子，纪念中华殉道诸圣及真福。
因此，前几天在香港礼仪委员会的网站下载了专用的弥撒经文：进堂咏、集祷经、读经、献礼经、及领圣体后经。这些经文非常优美，令人陶醉，如集祷经。

Collect
Almighty and ever-living God, you have raised the Chinese Martyrs and Blessed to be models of our faith. Through your grace, they had the courage to witness to your Gospel by giving up their lives and with sanctity. May their blood and zeal continue to nourish the seeds of faith in the Chinese people, leading them to know and love you. We ask this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

这集祷经的优美之处：内容、结构。

内容:全能永生的天主，你哺育了中华殉道诸圣及真福，并使他们成为我们信仰的模范。因着祢的恩宠，他们毫无畏惧，视死如归以圣洁见证了祢的福音。求祢使他们的血及热忱继续滋养华夏民族，引领他们认识和爱慕祢。以上......
其结构如下:
Address: 全能永生的天主

Epiclesis: May their blood and zeal continue to nourish the seeds of faith in the Chinese people, leading them to know and love you. 求祢使他们的血及热忱继续滋养华夏民族，引领他们认识和爱慕祢。
Conclusion:以上所求......

但中文的集祷经，逊色好多！至于中英为何不一致，只好请教罗神父了。

集禱經
全能永生的天主，你對每個民族的計劃，總是神妙莫測。你在基督身上向我們揭示了苦難的奧秘，化死亡的陰影成為生命的曙光。求你藉歷代中華殉道者所流的血，使福音廣傳於這片土地，並使中華同胞早日得享作你子女的自由。因你的聖子、我們的主耶穌基督，他和你及聖神，是唯一天主，永生永王.阿们!
虽然，不是所有的人都蒙召为信仰殉道、致命，但每个基督徒都蒙召爱慕天主，迈向成全（参阅昨日圣玛利亚、葛莱蒂诵读）。
