美国圣母团队会议形式
USA Teams Meeting Format
亲爱的朋友们：每年圣母团队的研究主题由不同国家创作，很多时候该国会在圣母团队会议部分分享其会议形式。虽然美国有其既定的会议形式，但我们也要认识到国际会议在许多方面可能有所不同。谨此提醒，以下是美国圣母团队的会议形式：
Dear Friends: The Teams study topic each year is authored by different country and many times this country shares it format of their meeting in the Teams meeting section. While the United States has its own established meeting format, it’s important to recognize that international meetings may differ in various aspects. As a reminder the following is the USA Teams of Our Lady meeting format:
简单餐点与简短分享
Simple Meal with Light Sharing
每个人分享本月的高光与低谷时刻。
其他人默默地听着，既不发表评论，也不传递食物。
Each person shares highs and lows of the month.
Others listen without comment, or passing of food.
读经时间
Time for Scripture
静默省思的时刻
A Time of Silent Meditation
围绕经文的共同祈祷
Shared Prayer on Scriptural Text
其意图是以祈祷的形式进行反思，而不是讨论。
The intent is reflection in the form of a prayer, not discussion.
祈祷意向
Prayer Intentions
传递卡片或十字架，使人们可以自然地略过，也让团队知道祈祷何时结束
团队应在每个人轮流发言结束时回应，例如：「主，求你俯听我们的祈祷。」
Pass card or cross, so people can pass gracefully and the team knows when the prayer is complete
The team should respond at the end of each person’s turn, for example, “Lord, hear our prayer”.
礼仪祈祷
Liturgical Prayer
祈祷时间结束
Conclusion of Prayer Time
深度汇总
Deep Pooling
这用于分享更为严肃的事项，或需要大家共同商议的时候。不一定会每次聚会都进行。
This is a time to share on more serious matters or when the input of the group is requested. This will not necessarily happen at all meetings.
分享努力实践
Sharing on the Endeavors
我们组成团队，是为了在与他人的互助中，更接近神。这些「努力实践」是我们自愿承担的生活方式。它们被证明是增进夫妻关系、推动灵性成长的有效途径。在团队聚会中分享这些实践，是为了在旅程中寻求队友的帮助与鼓励。
We join teams in order to enlist the help of others in growing closer to God. The “endeavors” are practices which we voluntarily assume. They have been found to be a means of drawing us closer as a couple and in furthering our spiritual growth. By sharing on these endeavors at the team meeting we seek help and encouragement of our teammates in our journey.
