人若渴了,可以到我這裏來喝。信我的人, 從他腹中要流出活水的江河來 。(約7 :37-38)
	我是在一個拜民間宗教,一家九口的家庭長大,父母是傳統教育的重男輕女,爸爸是一個又嚴又兇的父親,他的教育方法就是體罰和責罵。我記得和朋友去玩到晚上九點回家,爸爸就手拿皮腰帶在門口等我,一見我什麼都不問,就從門口打進屋子裡。平日若超過晚上七點半回家就不留飯菜,整晚餓著肚子睡覺。還有若吃飯的時候筷子放不整齊,或吃完碗裡還有一粒飯都會罵。如果放學回家鞋子亂丟又會被罵一頓,可以說從小打罵到大,在經常吵鬧的生活中成長 。兄弟姊妹長大後不喜歡留在家中,彼此之間就很疏離少了溝通 。
	我因為在家裏得不到愛、溫暖和關注 ,慢慢對家庭失去歸屬感,所以早早就出到社會工作,為了逃避與父母相處 ,減少些時間留在家中。我一下班就在外面與同事或朋友去吃喝玩樂,渴望在朋友中找到認同和友情,但是忙忙碌碌的物質生活,我心仍然覺得很空虛 。
	其後嘗試著靠宗教帶給我滿足和安慰,跟著朋友三五成群去看相問卜、紫微斗數。朋友說哪一個神明靈驗就去東拜拜西拜拜 ,占卜問卦 、看手相等等 ,沉迷了很長這樣的日子。
	每當夜闌人靜時心靈特別感到空虛,很不快樂。想起一些朋友做事不誠實,假仁假義,不負責任,慢慢我開始對他們失去安全感和信任感。想起自己迷信占卜看相花了不少辛苦賺來的錢,買來更多的恐懼憂慮和不平安,真如聖經裡所說 :「凡喝這水的 ,還要再渴。」
	後來我姊姊信了耶穌,她很努力很積極把耶穌的福音傳給家人。看見她把家人一個一個的帶去教會,我覺得很奇怪。以往家人很少坐下來談談話,為何今天媽媽和弟妹都聽她呢?有一天我下班回來,姊姊很有耐性、很努力的邀請我去佈道會,我拒絕了。她仍繼續邀請,後來我就抱著一個好奇的心跟她去一趟。當日教會佈道會的主題是「神愛世人」。聖經裏說 :「神愛世人,甚至將祂的獨生子賜給他們 ,叫一切信衪的,不至滅亡反得永生 。」當牧師講到:「耶穌是神的兒子,本是無罪,放下天上的榮耀 ,甘願成為人子。耶穌為我們的過犯釘死在十字架上,擔當我們的罪,並流出寶血來洗淨我們的罪。衪如此犧牲的愛,衪正在等待你,你願意接受這樣的愛嗎?」當時不知道為什麼我的眼淚不停地流,心裏說耶穌啊!你怎樣知道我一直在人群中尋找真正的愛,你竟為我犧牲,為我受苦!我深深被耶穌的愛吸引,我很感動,舉手接受了耶穌作我救主 。
	自從我和部份家人信了耶穌,過去我們一家人聚少離多,現在家中的氣氛很不一樣。大家有說有笑,彼此關心再不像以前各走一方。我們一起去教會,我們很喜歡唱詩歌,我們都是被主耶穌的愛吸引了 。
	我過去一直在外面追求愛 ,發覺人的愛是有條件的、講利益、不長久、會變質。今天我竟然覺得,以前喜歡和朋友去玩樂的地方,再也不想浪費時間和金錢,不再迷失方向去誤信偶像,叫自已恐懼不安的信仰。現在我的人生有了新的方向和新的目標,因著信了耶穌,真如聖經所說 :「 若有人在基督裏,他就是新造的人,舊事已過,都變成新的了。」我和家人的關係和好了,一下班就好想趕快回家,和他們一起唱詩、一起談話、彼此關心、祈禱,一同讀聖經 。後來我們家中一半的人在1979年一同受洗加入教會,過基督徒的蒙恩生活。因為信了耶穌有平安有喜樂,家人彼此相愛和睦相處。後來我們把家裏全部的偶像都拆除了,一家人從此專心單信靠獨一愛世人的真神,彼此相愛,享受神所賜的平安、喜樂。感謝讚美主!
	願榮耀歸給愛我們的主耶穌基督!
無限的恩典無盡的愛
       司徒伍幗平姊妹感恩分享
你以恩典為年歲的冠冕,你的路徑都滴下脂油。(詩篇六十五:11)
	我出生於一個基督教的家庭,父親年青時留居美國,於民前二年加入「同盟會」。那年國父在舊金山創辦「少年中國晨報」,特派我父親任主筆,並任國父的私人秘書,策動全美僑社襄贊革命事業。母親當年在夏威夷一所神學院攻讀神學,本有意終身事奉主,後因認識我父親,結為文字之交,父親的才華與豪情使母親改變初衷,願意跟隨父親遠走天涯,奔走革命。
	民國三十七年,我從南京一間教會中學畢業,因病錯過了大學的入學考試,卻無意中考入空軍總司令部。當時想工作一段時間後,再考學校,想不到一下子就被調往前方北平「空軍作戰指揮部」,在最前線對共軍作戰。事出突然,母親為此多次與軍方交涉,答覆竟然是:「不得違抗軍令」。當時在北平指揮空軍的是知名的「老虎」將軍王叔銘。軍令森嚴,一聲令下,我就得整裝出發,臨別依依,父母親諄諄的叮囑,為國效力,應全力以赴。
	那時故總統 蔣公坐鎮南京,隨時打電話到北平詢問軍情,我的工作是負責通訊,緊張繁忙中有高度的挑戰性,每天與一群飛將軍共事。他們二十四小時待命,隨時出擊,有時一去不返,為國捐軀,那種為理想而置生死於度外的無我精神,英勇事蹟,不僅感動了我,更啟發我在思索中尋找人生的真正意義。是的,人類無法避免面對死亡,但是假如人死如燈滅,那麼活著的價值是甚麼?死亡的後面是甚麼?.....這些問題困擾著我。
	回憶這短短的一年,我學會忍耐、謙卑、順服,從溫室裡出來,變得堅強獨立了。
	一年後,共軍占領北平,南京也相繼失守,兄姐們各自婚嫁,父母親和我在倉促間隨政府遷移台灣。原以為可以安定一段時間,絕沒想到人生不如意事常八九,父親被小人誣控,認為他有赴大陸投共的意圖,竟然成了政治犯。這飛來橫禍使全家頓時陷入痛苦的黑暗中,我憤怒、埋怨整個世界毀滅了,前途茫茫。母親是神的兒女,遭此噩運,竟顯得出奇的穩定,依然信靠順服,這使我重新思考她信仰的中心是甚麼?周日我常常落寞的走進台北許昌街青年會聽道,也認定查考聖經,內中有真神的啟示。最吸引我的就是主耶穌對人類宣言:「我就是道路、真理、生命,若不藉著我,沒有人能到父那裏去。」(約十四章六節)啊!我豁然開朗,母親信仰的中心就是復活的主。過去困擾我的問題都有了答案,人從何而來?由神創造。往何處去?有天父的家。因何而活?榮神益人。如何活?信靠順服。像在大海中抓著一塊木板,在黑夜裡看到一線曙光,我終於能站起來面對殘酷的現實。是主特別的憐憫,在我最孤單無助時,祂的安慰與扶持使我能面對未來。
	由於家庭中失去了父親作支柱,就失去了重心,我必須找一份工作。不久順利考進美國大使館新聞處任圖書管理員,在「參考書」部門服務。當年在台北要算「美新處圖書館」的參考資料最新、最齊全,服務的對象多半是學者專家。從答覆讀者的詢問中,我的知識也相對的增加,滿足了我強烈的求知慾。感謝主把我安放在設備完善環境中工作,足足有二十一年之久。這期間結婚,育有二女,歲月飛逝,我也步入中年,人在順境中隨著世俗浮沉,是名的追求,利的引誘,漸漸的忘了主恩,落在撒但的綑綁中。這時面對一個非人手可以控制的局面,我必須下一個決定,是順服還是逆命。我在痛苦中求告主名。透過恩典,聖靈啟示,我癱軟無力的跪在祂的腳前,俯首認罪。主啊!謝謝你,你沒有離棄我,再度把我這迷失的羊找回。我低吟著:「奇異恩典」,流下感恩與悔改的淚。
	回顧過去,從軟弱到剛強,從困難到明白,從風聞到眼見,無一不是父神一步步慈愛的引導,凡臨到我的事,都有祂的美意。兵荒馬亂時的保守,逆境時的磨練,迷失時的管教,處處都顯示祂那無盡的愛,無限的恩,足夠我享用。感謝讚美獨一的真神!

Housing over 70,000 works of art, with 20,000 on display, these museums are a testament to humanity's enduring quest for beauty, knowledge, and spirituality.

    A Brief History

    The origins of the Vatican Museums trace back to 1506 when Pope Julius II acquired a marble statue known as "Laocoon and His Sons." This masterpiece marked the beginning of what would become one of the most extensive and revered art collections in the world. Over the centuries, successive Popes expanded the collection, commissioning and acquiring works from renowned artists and civilizations spanning millennia.

    Today, the Vatican Museums are a series of interconnected museums and galleries, showcasing art and artifacts from ancient Egypt, classical antiquity, the Renaissance, and beyond. They serve as a bridge between the past and present, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a world of creativity and devotion.

    Highlights of the Vatican Museums

    1. The Sistine Chapel:
    The Sistine Chapel is arguably the crown jewel of the Vatican Museums.

These masterpieces are considered some of the greatest achievements in the history of art, offering a profound spiritual and artistic experience.

    2. Raphael Rooms:
    Commissioned by Pope Julius II, the Raphael Rooms showcase the genius of Renaissance artist Raphael. The "School of Athens," a depiction of classical philosophers, is a standout piece that exemplifies harmony, perspective, and intellectual depth.

    3. Gallery of Maps:
    A visual feast for cartography enthusiasts, the Gallery of Maps features 40 detailed topographical maps of Italy, meticulously painted by Ignazio Danti in the late 16th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details make this gallery a must-see.

    4. Gregorian Egyptian Museum:
    For those intrigued by ancient civilizations, the Gregorian Egyptian Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Egypt's history. With mummies, statues, and papyri, it transports visitors to a time of pharaohs and pyramids.

    5. Pinacoteca:
    The Pinacoteca, or picture gallery, houses an impressive collection of paintings from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Works by Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio, and Titian are among its treasures.

    Allocate Sufficient Time: The museums are vast, and exploring them can take several hours. Prioritize your must-see areas and allow time to soak in the ambiance.

    The Cultural Significance of the Vatican Museums

They bear witness to the Catholic Church's role in preserving and fostering artistic expression throughout history. The collections highlight the interplay between spirituality and creativity, offering visitors a profound connection to the divine and the universal human experience.
