普世基督徒默禱團體在2026年1月17日(六)假上水聖保祿樂靜院舉行退省營。參加者共50人,除了來自團體屬下各默禱小組外,也有來自周四的網上默禱會。神師關俊棠神父為此次退省定下主題:「祈禱誦經中的專注:量與質、口與心」。他邀請各人反思日常誦念熟悉的經文時,會否如機械般快速念誦,對經文的内容不加思索,以致錯失祈禱的真意。他强調應「念兹在兹」,反思經文的内容,讓美好的經文帶領我們親近天主。他用貼近現代人心靈需要的眼光,把教會最常用的兩篇經文《天主經》及《聖母經》逐句解釋,各人心領神會後,在聖堂以虔敬態度慢慢把經文誦念……
默禱教導我們專注,安靜;期望在往後誦念教會經文時,也懷著同一份心情,好能體會祈禱的真意。
WCCM (HK) held a retreat on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at St. Paul's House of Prayer, Sheung Shui. A total of 50 people participated, including members from our meditation groups and online meditation sessions on Thursday. The retreat was guided by Fr. Thomas Kwan, who set the theme: “Focused in Saying Prayers: Quantity and Quality, Mouth and Heart.” He invited everyone to reflect on the way we recite the daily prayers. Do we do it mechanically and quickly without thinking on the meaning? If so, we are missing the essence of prayer. He emphasized that we should "keep our minds on the text," reflecting on its content, allowing the beautiful verses to lead us closer to God. He then explained “Our Father” and “Hail Mary” verse by verse, with a perspective that resonates with the needs of modern hearts. Afterwards, we recited the prayers slowly and devoutly in the chapel... Meditation teaches us to be focused and silent. It is hoped that when we recite prayers in the future, we will do so with the same spirit so that we can get close to the essence of prayer.
