就神恩复兴运动问题，翻了下很久之前帮隔(xiang)壁(ai)友(xiang)校(sha)人写的作业。是每周随堂感言挂到班级讨论版的那种作业，因为那位是学期末补交的，估计教授和其他人都不会看，所以就放飞写了（那家教授是挺神恩复兴的，所以有了最后一段）。摄于篇幅很多点没展开讲(并没引十字若望)，凑合算说清了？

 宗徒大事录以“清醒的大醉”形容宗徒们在第一个五旬节的体验，也就是说，“清醒的沉醉于天主圣神”（Act. 12:15）。因天主的大能而沉醉欢悦确然是教会传统，即使在旧约时代，我们的“饮泣的先知”（耶利米）也曾写道：“为了上主，为了他的圣言，我好像成了一个醉汉，成了一个不胜酒力的人”（Jer. 23:9）。中世纪时，据记载道明会隐修修女，真福玛格丽特艾伯摩尔（Bl. Margaret Ebner, 1291-1351）曾与另一位临终的修女一同抚掌大笑状如酣醉，为对方很快就能升入天国礼颂上主而充满喜乐的圣神。这类正式名称应当为“神魂超拔”的“体验”在中世纪并不少见。加尔都西会的圣雕尼削（Saint Denis the Carthusian,1402–1471）被尊为“超拔圣师”(Doctor ecstaticus)，正是因为他频繁而强烈的此类“摄魂夺魄”之“体验”。然而，没有一部圣人传曾提及过任何团体或修会聚集一处为获得此类“神魂超拔”体验而祷告。五旬节时的宗徒们齐聚一室同声祷告，并非为体验讲方言，“被圣神击倒"，与蛇交流或其它类似情形。事实上，他们对将发生之事一无所知。同时，注意这样的集体“状如沉醉”现象只在第一次五旬斋时发生过。我们蒙福的圣路加没有在大事记此后的内容中记录过类似情况。而当圣保禄归信时为上主“在灵中击倒”后，他没有跳起来用中文或马来语大喊大叫。相反，这与基督和圣神的直接邂逅唤起了他灵魂中的谦卑与憧憬；并点燃了他心中以节制，明智，坚忍和爱德为燃料的永火。爱德是持久忍耐，不是情绪突变或随意开关的强电流。正如圣保禄自己所说：然而圣神的效果卻是：仁愛、喜乐、平安、忍耐、良善、溫和、忠信、柔和、节制（Gal.5:22-23）。注意此处：柔和与节制。

信德的对象是真理，也就是天主（爱德还是真理还是两个都要，此处暂不跟方派扯皮），也是我们的祷告和基督徒集会的终端。我们向圣神祷告，是为通过圣神企及天主，既是每个人类的终端。可能随之而来的“超拔”等体验是“附加的”，而非“终端本身”。更进一步，如果这个“神/灵”不能使我们成为一个好基督徒，更喜乐，更富有圣德，并在我们的日常生活中结出更多的好果实，那么拥有它又有什么意义呢？另外，这是我个人的意见：如果一个人的灵魂不能满足于一场好弥撒（重点：好弥撒），那么即使这个人在此世得享荣富直观，也不可能被满足——请试想，有什么“显像”或“体验”比“天主圣言，降生为人，居我人间”更奇异，更绝妙，更不同寻常？

与过去相比，现代社会中我们的日常生活里总充满了各种刺激的源泉。这无疑降低了人们的敏感度，从而对平常的体验感到厌倦无聊。因此他们总寻求并制造出更强烈的刺激。这些刺激反过来更加伤害了他们的感性知觉，使他们不断追求更猛烈体验，成为感官的奴隶 (这个道理类似当代研究网络爱情动作片的普及和泛滥逐渐摧毁了现代人的婚姻生活)。

…… （最后这段嘛…因为各种原因就不翻了）……

*客观的说，对参与正儿八经的神恩复兴运动集会不反对不鼓励。不过像某人这种有新教背景的总对主打“群体”+“体验”类团体怀有各种警戒忌惮……在某“献礼环节”是歌舞表演的新教堂口多媒体志愿组放了两年多幻灯片，后在没管风琴光靠架子鼓电子琴电吉他伴奏+没有跪凳座椅呈环形放置的校园纽曼中心堂口呆到毕业的笔者表示：年纪大了动静太大容易被吓到，现在就想安安静静的好好望台弥撒。

原文：

The Acts describesapostles' "experiences” at the first Pentecost as “sober drunkenness”, to wit,“the sober Intoxication of the Spirit” (For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeingit is but the third hour of the day. Acts 2:15). It is indeed a Christian* (*mind Christian hereis not an ecumenical term!) tradition, that to be overwhelmed and rejoiced inthe power of the Lord. Even in the time of Old Covenant, our weeping prophetreported that “I became like a man who is drunk, like someone sodden with wine,from my encounter with the words of God” (Jer. 23:9).  In the middle age, a Dominican contemplative nun Bl. Margaret Ebner (1291-1351) recorded how she was clapping hands and laughing as drunkardwith a dying nun, whom was filled with the spirit of joy for soon she’ll sing praises to G/d in heaven. This kind of “experience”, which maybe properly called “ecstasy”, is not unheard in the medieval world. Saint Denis theCarthusian (1402–1471) is entitled “Doctor of Ecstasy”, due to his frequent and fierce “experiences” of being “captured by the Spirit”. However, no hagiographies ever mention any groups or communities gather together purposely praying for having such “experience” or “ecstasy”. Apostles at Pentecost were not praying to speak in tongues, slain in spirit, communicate with snakes orany sort of “experiences". Actually, they have no ideas what would befall on them. Note also this phenomenon of “appeared drunkenness” only occured during the first Pentecost, nowhere else in the Acts has our beloved Saint Luke mentioned similar things. when Saint Paul was “slayed down in spirit” by our Lord at his conversion, he didn't jump up and scream in Mandarin Chinese. Instead, this direct encounter with Christ and the Holy Spirit inspired a deep humility andawe in his soul. It enkindled a lasting fire which burns with temperance,prudence, endurance and charity.  love is long suffering, it’s notmood-swings or rapid electric sparks one can switch on and off. As Saint Paul himself puts it: the fruit of the spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience,kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty,self-control, and chastity (Gal. 5:22-23). Please mark: self-control and modesty.

The object of the faith is the truth, which is in G/d (no, we are not going to wrest with Franciscan school today), so as the end of our prayers and Christian gatherings. We pray for the Spirit, so that through this Spirit we may reachthe Father, which is the finality of every human being. If this “Spirit” or“ecstasy” cannot help us being a better Christian, holier and happier, and baring good fruits in our daily life, what’s the point of having it? Additional, here is a personal opinion: if one cannot be spiritual satisfied by a good mass (I mean a GOOD mass, opus operatum and opus operantis), this person would not be pleased even having the beatific vision on earth. Please consider it: what miracle, what visions, what “experiences” can be moreextraordinary, more powerful, more wonderful than the Word become flesh anddwell in us?

In modern world, we have too much stimulations in our daily lives than before. This may make people insensitive and unsatisfied to normal experiences, so they will seek and create fiercer stimulations, which will harm their sensory receptions and make themchained slaves to senses that they will ever seek stronger stimulations in turn (it’s like the theory that the popularity of internet porn and masturbation has slowly destroyed modern men’s marriage life).

there will be many things emerging in the future, there will be more abortions, more mercy-death, more“queers” and more secularization, also in the future there will be a thingcalled anti-Christ with a false church which will convert the majority, shallwe follow them all? （此段酌情删除)
