在途上

那天,突然收到一個小聖像
送給我的人說
St. Christopher是旅行者的主保聖人
雖然我已經不是時時旅行
但我們人生在途上
也就是一個旅程!!!
邁向永恆的朝聖者~!!! (好型 ^0^)
.
多謝多謝多謝 ^_^~*
十分喜歡
決意日後走到天涯海角
都一定會帶住St. Christopher
.
一直相信
往往是聖人揀了我們去保守
這次,St. Christopher 揀了我!
未知人生的下一站
我要起行往哪裡走?

St. Christopher
His fame derives from the pious legend of him being a "Christ-bearer" (= Christopher). He was a powerfully built man who wandered the world in search of novelty and adventure. He came upon a hermit who lived beside a dangerous stream and served others by guiding them to safe places to cross. He gave Offero instruction in the truth of God. Offero took the hermit's place, but instead of guiding travellers, he carried them safely across the stream.
.
One day he carried a small child across the stream; the child's weight nearly crushed him. When they arrived on the other side, the child revealed himself as Christ, and he was so heavy because he bore the weight of the world on himself. He then baptised Offero with water from the stream. Christopher's service at the stream led to his patronage of things related to travel and travellers, people who carry things, etc. One of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.
