受高隆邦會訪談紀錄20260318

 1. 自我介紹 (Self-introduction)

大家好，我是 Peter。我在二十九歲那年領洗，到現在已經二十五年了。目前我在桃園的聖彌額爾天主堂服務，擔任牧靈委員會會長。Hi everyone, I’m Peter. I was baptized when I was twenty-nine, so it’s been twenty-five years now. I currently serve at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Taoyuan as the chair of the Pastoral Council.

2. 避靜的感想 (Impressions of the Retreat)
這次避靜讓我最有感觸的一句話是：「受造物不只是資源，本身就有價值。」以前受教育的影響，我對生態的想像多半是「益蟲」、「益生菌」這類對人「有用」的東西，比較少想到：那些對人「沒有」直接益處的受造物，在天主眼中也有祂的計畫與美意。
這一點和我的信仰很一致。我相信天主對生命中的每一件事都有安排，不論我當下覺得是好是壞，在天主眼中都有祂的用意。對我來說，信仰很重要的一點就是：學習順服天主的安排，並在每件事上祈求祂賜下智慧和力量，好好度過。
What struck me most from this retreat was one line: “Creation is not just a resource—it has value in itself.” Growing up, I was used to thinking about nature in terms of what’s “useful”—“beneficial” insects, “good” bacteria, and so on. I hadn’t really considered that even what seems “useless” to us is still part of God’s plan and has value in His eyes.
That fits with how I see faith. I believe God has a purpose for everything in our lives, whether we experience it as good or bad. For me, an important part of faith is learning to trust His plan and to ask Him for wisdom and strength in whatever comes our way.

3. 本堂的具體努力 (Efforts of the Parish)
石神父在平日講道和各種培育裡，一直把生態神學和照顧受造界放在心裡，常常提醒大家。堂區方面，我們正在籌辦二手市集，希望把惜物、共享落實在生活中。神父也鼓勵大家從日常生活做起，例如：少用免洗餐具、減少不必要的浪費、自備水壺、聚餐自備餐具、訂餐只訂需要的份量以免浪費等等，讓信仰真正和每一天的生活結合在一起。
In his homilies and in our formation activities, our priest often speaks about ecological theology and caring for creation. As a parish, we’re now planning a secondhand market to put “reuse” and “sharing” into practice. He also encourages us to start with daily habits—for example, using fewer disposable items, cutting down on waste, bringing our own water bottles and tableware to gatherings, and ordering only what we need so we don’t waste food. The idea is to connect our faith with the way we live every day.
