第二章:治愈的圣事
Chapter Two: The Sacraments of Healing
1420通过基督徒入门圣事,人领受了基督的新生命。如今我们将这生命「放在瓦器里」,它仍「与基督一同藏在神里面」。林后 4:7;西 3:3。我们仍住在「地上的帐棚」里,受制于痛苦、疾病和死亡。林后 5:1。这作为神儿女的新生命可能因罪而衰弱甚至丧失。
1420Through the sacraments of Christian initiation, man receives the new life of Christ. Now we carry this life “in earthen vessels,” and it remains “hidden with Christ in God.”2 Cor 4:7; Col 3:3. We are still in our “earthly tent,” subject to suffering, illness, and death.2 Cor 5:1. This new life as a child of God can be weakened and even lost by sin.
1421主耶稣基督,我们灵魂和身体的医师,他赦免了瘫子的罪并使他身体康复,参可 2:1-12。愿意他的教会在圣灵的能力中继续他的医治和拯救工作,甚至在她自己的成员中也是如此。这就是两个治愈圣事的目的:忏悔圣事和病人傅油圣事。
1421The Lord Jesus Christ, physician of our souls and bodies, who forgave the sins of the paralytic and restored him to bodily health,Cf. Mk 2:1-12. has willed that his Church continue, in the power of the Holy Spirit, his work of healing and salvation, even among her own members. This is the purpose of the two sacraments of healing: the sacrament of Penance and the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.
