Requiescant In Pace

高師謙神父(圖片來源:香港大公網)

  中新網12月12日電 出生於清朝,經歷光緒、宣統兩朝皇帝及十任教宗,在香港大嶼山隱修院中修道30多年,香港最老人瑞高師謙神父今年初喜孜孜親身領取智慧身份證,未及迎接下月壽辰,昨(11日)晨在修院逝世,在悠悠的夢境中,回到他渴慕已久的天鄉,終年110歲。

  據香港媒體報道,位處大嶼山的聖母神樂院院牧李達修神父表示,昨晨6時會士準備接高師謙前往祈禱的時候,發現高神父在睡床上逝世,修士實時為他舉行追思彌撒,修院將另訂日子,安排特別彌撒及下葬儀式。

  夢中離世面容祥和

  李達修與高神父認識超過20年,向以兄弟相稱,他對高逝世感到難過,他形容高神父離開時面容祥和,?#20182;人緣好好,記憶力好好,可以記住見過的朋友名,得到好多人尊敬。他有時要坐輪椅,但儘量自己行,不好意思要人照顧。?/p>

  高師謙的一生跨越三個世紀, 1897年生於福建省省會福州,1933時升任神父,其後在中國台灣、馬來西亞等地傳教約40年,1972年以75高齡開展苦行修道生活。

  根據香港入境處總結智慧身份證換證資料,高師謙與另一女士齊名最老人瑞,今年同為110歲。記者今年初曾往大嶼山探訪高師謙,下街渡後走20分 鍾山路,經過苦路十四處,通過流水淙淙的小橋,拾級而上,聖堂在最高處。高師謙像壽星公,亮亮的頭殼,腮鬢全白,目光注視聖堂中央的十字架,陌生的腳步聲 漸近,身穿中世紀隱修士服飾─白色長袍、黑色聖衣及腰帶的他慢慢轉過頭。

  日常養雞最忌說話

  高師謙當時說過,平日主要工作是飼養院內逾千雞只,日常大忌是說話:?#24478;前我們只跟天主說話,都不跟人講話,用手語,因為世間人講話多是壞話,有什麼好說的呢?現在放寬了,我們可以說話,但不說閒話。?/p>

  每天清早3時半,高師謙和其他會士起床重復祈禱、種菜和看書,每天七次在聖堂內唸經,拉丁文的經,玫瑰經是他的最愛,每天念20遍。聖堂內每本 歌書都泛著微黃,釘裝脆弱無力,每次唱經完畢,修士們就戴回那件深棕色、幾可把面孔完全蓋住的風帽,低下頭,走回修院的不同角落靜修,每晚8時半上床就 寢。跟老人家談話,能聽不能問。高師謙平日不看電視,但愛看報紙,《成報》輕盈是他心頭愛。

  早前到他領智慧身份證,入境處職員知他年紀大,修院出入不方便,打算派員到修院替他辦證,但他堅持親力親為,在友人陪伴下,只需一支拐杖,一路走到灣仔入境處,令當值的職員留下深刻印象。

  一生有情親人懷念

  自言一生人從沒生氣的高師謙,愛跟人分享103年前發生的一件事,當時7歲的他,跟家人在福州生活,是家中老三,一次他偷戴老父的眼鏡,結果不 小心摔破,被爸爸追打,幸好媽媽衝出來擋住,他記住了媽媽的慈愛,後來爸爸死了,媽媽、兄弟、同輩全部離去,獨留塵世的高師謙總覺得有母親保護。高神父可 親,帶記者去看修院內的墳場,墓穴的位置他早就選好,掘好土、清了泥,結果一次又一次讓給先走的兄弟。高師謙的侄孫媳婦高太說,高神父對長者及小朋友特別 關心,?#20182;好有人情味,好有感情,即使年紀大仍然會親自回復教友的信。?

11  November 2007 SUN

I haven't attended to concerts for a year already and I am really missing those days. This time Ceci and I went to a concert in the Birmingham Symphony Hall, where it only took 20 mins walk from Ceci's place, though it was bitter cold to walk on the street at night.

We had Itzhak Perlman as our violinist and Bruno Canino as piano accompany for the night. Itzhak Perlman, one of my favourite violinists.  I first knew about him from the movie  'Music of the heart', which he was playing the Bach's Concerto for Two Violins 1st Movt with other world class violinists , such as Issac Stern and Joshua Bell.  The time when I crushed on Perlman was from watching his DVD recording which he was playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D conducted by Ormandy in the late 70s. His music just penetrated into my heart.

Itzhak Perlman Recital in Birmingham Symphony Hall

Programme:
Richard Strauss - Sonata in E flat
Schubert - Rondo Brillant in B minor D895
Beethoven - Spring Sonata in F major Op24

Violin: Itzhak Perlman
Piano: Bruno Canino

N.B. Canino is a notable pianist as well. You would be able to taste his music is rich in favour and with dramatic colouring. I shall discover more of his music later on.

I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che to dai

I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe.
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza

Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E'il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera
