伯多禄·达弥盎神父祈祷词

Damiaan

You touched the heart of the whole world

When you as a leper died among lepers on the island of Molokai

You gave friendship and your health to those

Who had been banished and had been expelled from the society

You became their priest, their father, their brother.

As a Flemish farmer takes the plough by the hand, you did not look back.

You were as Jesus and did the same as he , your lord and great example:

You gave your life for your people, and so we call you holy, Damiaan.

You make us realize that all people are children of the same father.

You show us the way to the poor and the small.

You teach us selfless love.

Pater Damiaan, pray for us to the Lord.

达弥盎

在莫洛凯的岛屿上，身患麻风病的你安息在麻风病人之中，

你的逝世触动了世界上无数人的心灵。

你将你的友谊和健康奉献给那些被社会遗弃和驱逐的人们。

你成为麻风病人的神父、父亲和兄弟。

犹如弗拉芒农民扶犁耕地一般，你从不回头。

你相似耶稣--他是你的主，你的楷模；

你再现了他的精神与行动。

你将自己的生命献给了你的人群，为此我们尊称你：圣--达米安。

你使我们认识到，所有的人都是同一天父的孩子。

你向我们揭示了那条路，那条通往穷人与弱小者的路。

你教导我们无私的爱。

伯多禄·达米昂神父，请为我们祈求天主。
