Introduction
在 2024-2030 年周期的第二年，国际领导团队向全球各团队提议一项学习主题，内容基于亨利·卡法雷尔神父的核心著作。他关于人类之爱与婚姻的基本论述，以文章形式发表于《金戒指》杂志及各类会议中，并已收录于一本关于爱与婚姻圣事的选集中，书名为《婚姻，圣德的冒险》亨利·卡法雷尔，《婚姻，圣德的冒险》，言语与寂静出版社，2013年。。
For the second year of the 2024-2030 period, the International Leading Team is proposing to all worldwide Teams a study theme based on the essential texts of Father Henri Caffarel. Fundamental writings on human love and marriage that he published in the form of articles in the magazine L’Anneau d’Or and at conferences, and which have been compiled in an anthology on love and the sacrament of marriage, in the book entitled “Le mariage, aventure de sainteté”.Henri CAFFAREL, Le mariage, aventure de sainteté, Parole et silence, 2013.
我们面临一个巨大的契机，去追溯那深刻思想的根源——正是这种思想彻底革新了教会关于圣事婚姻的观念与理想，时至今日其生命力依然旺盛如初。团队成员不能满足于脱离上下文地重读寥寥数语或段落，这些只是我们随意截取的片段。若要忠于我们作为藉着婚姻圣事结合的基督徒夫妇这一圣召，我们需要有充分的培育，并能阐明我们圣事的丰盛。我们或许会认为，在团队的历史中已经多次探讨过这个主题。但我们确信，用一整年的时间与这些文本同行，将使我们抵达夫妻圣召最深的根基。这也将帮助我们更加聚焦这第二年的方向：蒙召在与配偶的共融中生活。完整的夫妻共融生活，使我们为在周围世界履行基督徒夫妇的使命而刚强，也让作为夫妻的我们更加坚固，得以在一个需要我们的世界中成为神临在的记号。
We are faced with an immense opportunity to go to the roots of the profound thought that revolutionized the concept and ideal of sacramental marriage in the Church, and which remains more alive than ever today. Team members cannot be content with rereading a few sentences or paragraphs isolated from their context, which constitute extracts that we cut up as we please. If we are to be faithful to our vocation as Christian couples united by the sacrament of marriage, we need to be well trained and able to give an account of the richness of our sacrament. We might think that we’ve dealt with this theme many times in the history of Teams. But we assure you that working for a whole year with these texts will place us at the deepest root of our conjugal vocation. And it will also enable us to emphasize the orientation of this second year: Called to live in communion with our spouse. A life of full conjugal communion strengthens us for our mission as a Christian couple in the world around us, making us more solid as a couple to be a sign of God’s presence in a world that needs us.
我们诚邀大家以无上的敬意与由衷的钦佩来阅读这些篇章，它们适合每一个人——无论是新婚夫妇，还是已经共度多年婚姻的人们。这些文字也能帮助灵修顾问与指引者，深入圣事婚姻的核心所在。我们需要留意亨利·卡法雷尔神父当年使用的语言——我们不能背离这种语言——以及他的写作风格，其间的引述常常来自法国文学，这或许需要我们在阅读时多费一番心力。的确，这些内容无法成为匆匆一瞥或临时抱佛脚的阅读材料，但同样不可否认的是，若只是避而不去对这一主题进行深思熟虑的钻研，而不是细细品味、反复回味、铭刻于心，那将是一件真正的憾事。
We invite you to welcome with absolute respect and admiration these texts, which are suitable for everyone, from newlyweds to those who have already been married for a long time. It will also help spiritual counsellors and guides to penetrate to the very heart of sacramental marriage. We need to be aware of the language Father Henri Caffarel used at the time, which we cannot betray, and of his style, with constant references to French literature, which may require us to make an extra effort in reading. It’s true that this won’t make for quick, last-minute reading, but it’s no less true that it would be a real shame to avoid a thoughtful study of the theme, rather than savor it, ruminate on it, keep it in our hearts.
本书仅选取了少数几章内容，并根据研读主题的形式重新进行了划分。大部分文本保持了完整；若某段落有所删减，将以省略号（……）标示。我们亦保留了亨利·卡法雷尔神父为更精确表达思想而创造的某些新词——这些新词会以引号「」标出。
Only a few chapters of the book have been selected, which have in turn been subdivided to adapt them to the format of a study theme. The majority of the texts have been preserved in their entirety; if a passage has been cut, this is indicated by the symbol (…). We have also respected certain neologisms that Father Henri Caffarel liked to invent from existing words in order to better express his thought; these neologisms are indicated between quotation marks.
每章结束时，都附有一系列「对谈」指引——今年我们将优先采用这些基于建议问题设计的指引，并配合团队会议提议的讨论问题。这些材料并非来自亨利·卡法雷尔神父的文本（下文将说明原因），而是构成一次真正的深度探索，要求我们努力以诚实、真诚的态度面对夫妻生活。因此，我们邀请你们努力每月进行对谈——即使有时需要为促进夫妻关系的平衡而补充其他有益的问题。
Each chapter is finished with a series of guidelines for the Sit Down, which will be given priority this year, based on the suggested questions, in addition to the proposed questions for the team meeting. These materials do not come from Father Henri Caffarel’s texts, as we will explain below, but constitute a real descent into depth, which will require us to make an effort to be honest and truthful about our life as a couple. We therefore invite you to make the effort to Sit Down every month, even if it means, from time to time, supplementing it with other questions that are useful to address for your couple’s equilibrium.
亨利·卡法雷尔神父，这位「婚姻的先知」，确实能在 2025-26 年度帮助我们，更新我们的「我愿意」，更好地理解被我们主耶稣基督光照下的人间爱情的源泉，同时为我们的婚姻圣事赐下新的恩典。正如卡法雷尔神父所写，通过这样做，这个研究主题也将增长我们对神的爱。
Father Henri Caffarel, “prophet of marriage”, can really help us, in this year 2025-26, to renew our “yes”, to better understand the springs of human love enlightened by our Lord Jesus Christ, while granting us new graces for our sacrament of marriage. In so doing, as Father Caffarel writes, this study theme will also increase our love of God.
