禰是葡萄樹，我們是枝條，離開禰，我們什麼也不能做。（若15：5）

九月默觀祈禱   （至麗提供本月訊）

愛的九月就在我們週遭，獻給各位十七世紀英國詩人George Herbert 的情詩一首﹕

Love bade me welcome (by George Herbert)

Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lack'd anything.

"A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"

"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
So I did sit and eat.
