主啊,當我回顧我的一生, 我發現祢的帶領是何等溫柔與細緻, 祢好像只專注於照顧我一人; 但當我觀看祢如何奇妙地掌管這世界, 帶領它直到如今, 我訝異,祢怎會有時間 照顧卑微像我這樣的人。 ──聖奧古斯丁(St. Augustine of Hippo, 354-430),引自 A Modern Book of Hours-Devotions for Today, 49。
Looking Back
Lord, when I look upon my own life it sees Thou hast led me so carefully, so tenderly, Thou canst have attended to no one else; But when I see how wonderfully Thou hast led the world and art leading it, I am amazed that Thou hast time to attend to such as I. -St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430), cited in A Modern Book of Hours-Devotions for Today, 49
