Eternal Life and Intercession — Peace in the Lord
【 聖言導引】
在民雄天主堂的這一個角落，我們以最虔敬的心緬懷先祖。牆上的苦像見證了基督戰勝死亡的勝利，而格位中每一座小教堂，都代表著一位在主內安息的先人。我們相信，死亡並非終點，而是生命的改變。在這裡，我們與天上的聖人及先祖一同祈禱，期待將來在天父家中的重逢。
【聖經經文 】
「在那裡，天主要拭去他們眼上的一切淚痕；以後再也沒有死亡，再也沒有憂傷，沒有哀號，沒有痛苦。」 ——（默示錄 21:4）
【藝術賞析 】
十字架下的安息： 整體設計以木質苦像為中心，營造出莊嚴且溫暖的氛圍。苦像不僅是信仰的標記，更象徵著主耶穌張開雙臂，接納所有勞苦與思念，給予亡者永恆的安息，給予生者心靈的慰藉。
小教堂造型的格位 ：格位採用小教堂（House of God）的造型，巧妙地呼應了耶穌所說的：「在我父家中，有許多住處。」(若望福音14:2) 這將傳統的祭祖習俗與天主教的終末信仰完美結合，象徵先人在天國的殿宇中享有榮福。
祈禱的連續性： 整齊排列的格位形成了一面祈禱之牆。當信友在此點燈、祈禱時，光影在木質格位間流轉，展現出一種生生不息的信仰傳承——愛，跨越了塵世與天國的界限。
【心靈反思】
當您佇立在先人的牌位前，請感受那份跨越時空的愛。我們不僅是在緬懷過去，更是在主內彼此扶持。
想一想： 哪一位先祖的德行曾照亮您的生命？
祈禱： 求主賜給他們永恆的安息，並賜給我們勇氣，在世上繼續活出福音的光。

Theme:Eternal Life and Intercession — Peace in the Lord
Introduction:In this sacred corner of our parish, we remember our ancestors with deep reverence. The Crucifix stands as a testament to Christ’s victory over death. Each small church within the niches represents a beloved soul resting in the Lord. We believe that life is changed, not ended, by death. Here, we join our prayers with the saints and our ancestors, looking forward to our reunion in the Father’s House.
Scripture:"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain." —— (Revelation 21:4)
Artistic Appreciation
Eternal Rest Beneath the Cross The overall design centers on a wooden Crucifix, creating an atmosphere that is both solemn and warm. The Crucifix is not only a symbol of faith but also signifies the Lord Jesus opening His arms to embrace all hardships and longings—granting eternal rest to the departed and spiritual consolation to the living.
Chapel-Shaped Niches The niches are designed in the form of small chapels (House of God), artfully echoing the words of Jesus: "In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places" (John 14:2). This design perfectly integrates traditional ancestral veneration with the Catholic belief in eschatology, symbolizing that our ancestors enjoy eternal glory in the heavenly mansions.
The Continuity of Prayer The neatly arranged niches form a "Wall of Prayer." As the faithful light candles and pray here, the interplay of light and shadow dancing across the wooden niches reveals a vibrant heritage of faith—a love that transcends the boundaries between the earthly world and the Kingdom of Heaven.
Spiritual Reflection:As you stand before the memorial of your ancestors, feel the love that transcends time. We do not only remember the past but support one another in the Lord. May the Lord grant them eternal rest and give us the grace to be the light of the Gospel in this world.
