Disarm
I have to disarm
I have fought this war. For many years.
It was terrible. But now I am disarmed.
I fear nothing,
because “love chases out fear”
I am disarmed from the will to win,
And justifying myself at the expense of others
I am no longer on guard,
jealously holding on to my wealth.
I welcome and share. I am not especially attached to my ideas or projects.
If others have better things to propose,
I accept them willingly…
Whatever is good, true, real, wherever it is,
It is always better for me.
So I am no longer afraid.
When you have nothing
You are not afraid any more
“Who can separate us from the love of Christ?”…
If we disarm, I we divest ourselves of everything,
If we open ourselves to the God-man
Who renews all things,
Then he will wipe out our wicked past
And restore to us a new era where everything is possible.

放下自我
必须放下自己。
年复一年，我已苦战良久。
但是，如今我已经放下了自己。
我不再害怕什么，因为“爱驱逐恐惧”。
我放下了取胜的欲望，
也不以别人做代价来证明自我。
我不再吝啬地守护着我的财富，
白白接受的，白白分施。
不固守己见和追求。
如果他人的见解更高明，我喜乐地接受。……
无论何处，凡是美善的，真实的，对我而言，都是更佳选择。
所以，我不再恐惧。
谁若完全空虚自我，就一无所惧。
“有谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝？”……
如果我们放下自己，空虚自我，向那更新万物的天主子开放；
那么，他就会除去败坏的过去，重新赐给我们一个新时代，在那里，一切都是可能的。
