上帝的完美安排:孩子的守護天使
從前,有個孩子馬上就要誕生了。因此有一天他問上帝:“聽說明天你就送我去人間了,但是,我這麽弱小和無助,我在那兒怎麽生活呢?”
上帝答道:“在眾多的天使中,我特別為你挑了一位。她會守候你、無微不至地照顧你。”
小孩還是拿不準自己是否真的想去。“但是在天堂,我除了唱唱笑笑外,什麽也不做。這就足以讓我感到幸福了。”
“你的天使每天會為你唱歌,為你微笑。你會感受她的愛,並且因此而幸福。”
“如果我不懂人類的語言,他們對我說話時,我怎麽聽得懂呢?”孩子繼續問道。
上帝輕輕地拍了一下孩子的腦袋說:“你的天使會對你說最最美麗、最最動聽的話語,而這些都是你從未聽過的。她會不厭其煩地教你說話。”
“如果我想與你說話怎麽辦?”
上帝胸有成竹地回答:“你的天使會將你的雙手合攏,教你如何祈禱。”
“聽說塵世有很多壞蛋,誰來保護我呢?”
“即使冒著生命危險,你的天使也會保護你的。”
“但是見不到你,我會難過的。”小孩小心翼翼說道。
聽到這兒,上帝對著小孩笑了。“盡管我會一直陪伴你左右,你的天使仍會提起我,教你重返天堂之路。”
此時,天堂一片寧靜,凡間的聲音已可聽到,小孩明白自己得趕緊上路了。 他又輕聲問了最後一個問題,“哦,上帝,假如我現在就出發,請你告訴我,我的天使叫什麽名字。”
上帝微笑著回答道:“你的天使的名字很容易記住, 你就叫她——媽媽。”
The Children's Angel
An ancient legend tells of an unborn child who one day said unto God ... "I am told you are sending me down to Earth tomorrow, but how will I live there, if I am so small and weak?".
God answered: " ... among the many angels, I have chosen one to care for you"
"Please tell me then, here in Heaven, all I do for my happiness is sing and smile, can I do these there as well?"
"I will send you an Angel, who will sing and smile for you everyday, and you will feel happy with the songs and smiles".
"How will I understand when someone speaks to me, as I do not know the strange language mankind speaks?"
"An Angel will speak to you the sweetest and most tender words that humans can understand. The Angel will teach you."
"What will I do when I wish to speak with you?"
"An Angel will join your little hands and will teach you a prayer."
"I have heard that on earth there are bad men? Who will protect me?"
"An Angel will protect you, even at the expense of its own life."
"Yet I will always be sad Lord, because I will not see you anymore. Without seeing you I will feel very lonely"
God replied: "... an Angel will always speak of me to you and will show you the way to return to me."
At that moment, an immense peace reigned in Heaven, and no earthside voices were heard. The child repeated quietly: "Tell me its name Lord, tell me its name ..."
And God responded with a smile, "Her name is... Mother."
