依納爵羅耀拉晚年故居特輯 (下)愛與服務的樸實空間 St. Ignatius' Later Residence (Part 3): A Simple Space of Love & Service

在《聖依納爵．羅耀拉晚年故居特輯》的最後一集，我們來到聖人晚年在羅馬的臥室及「傳教區」，這裡也是他與天主相遇的神聖空間。聖依納爵在此辛勤耕耘，撰寫了《耶穌會會憲》及7千多封信函給各地的會士及恩人朋友。他也在這樸實無華的空間走完人世的旅程，榮歸永恆的天家。 在這個展示空間裡，我們依然看到聖依納爵當年使用的木製陳列櫃和小桌子、親筆簽名的信函與文件、1548 年發行的《神操》拉丁通行本的初版、他穿過的汗衫、背心、披風、祭披，以及一雙磨損的皮鞋。這些衣物印證了聖依納爵的清貧，也透露出耶穌會初期的簡樸家風。 當我們凝視著聖依納爵晚年故居裡的每一塊原初磚塊、每一封泛黃的書信，以及聖人生前所使用的物品，它們不再只是過去的歷史物件，而是聖依納爵生命歷程中與主相遇和待人接物的最好見證。 我們衷心希望，來到這裡的每一位朝聖者和訪客，都能透過這些跨越數百年的珍貴文物，親身感受到聖依納爵當年回應聖召的熱忱、以及他對天主毫無保留的愛與信任。 願這趟聖依納爵故居之旅，深深觸動你我的心靈，讓我們效法聖依納爵「在一切事上愛與服務」及「愈顯主榮」的精神，在日常生活中履行天主的使命，帶著愛與希望勇敢前行。 In the final episode of the special series on the later years of St. Ignatius Loyola, we visit his bedroom and "missionary quarters" in Rome, the sacred space where he encountered God. Here, St. Ignatius diligently worked, writing the *Constitution of the Society of Jesuits* and over 7,000 letters to Jesuits and benefactors throughout the world. He also completed his earthly journey in this simple space, returning to his eternal heavenly home. In this exhibition space, we still see the wooden display cabinet and small table used by St. Ignatius, his handwritten letters and documents, the first edition of the Latin common version of *Spiritual Exercises* published in 1548, his undershirt, vest, cloak, vestment, and a pair of worn shoes. These garments testify to St. Ignatius's poverty and reveal the simple lifestyle of the early Jesuits. As we gaze upon each original brick, each yellowed letter, and each item used by the saint in his later years at his house, these objects transcend mere historical artifacts. They become the best testimonies to Saint Ignatius's encounters with the Lord and his interactions with others throughout his life. We sincerely hope that every pilgrim and visitor who comes here can personally experience, through these precious relics spanning centuries, Saint Ignatius's fervent response to his calling and his unreserved love and trust in God. May this journey to Saint Ignatius's house deeply touch our hearts, inspiring us to emulate his spirit of "love and service in all things" and "glorification of God," fulfilling God's mission in our daily lives and moving forward courageously with love and hope.
