不要让我的孩子走上安逸之途——麦克阿瑟为子祈祷文

2016-08-01 麦克阿瑟 爱读经

蔡孟曹按: “不要让我的孩子走上安逸之途,而是让他历经忧患与挑战,好让他学会抵挡风雨,又由此学习到怜悯跌倒的人”。General Douglas MacArthur是一位将军,更是一位父亲,他爱得超越爱得理性,不是信仰给他力量,而是理性才是真的信仰。当今时代,父母之非理性是孩子成长的大障碍,对于孩子,现实的依赖性更不可免,故君子远其子也。麦克阿瑟为子祈祷文,说出了我们这些接受全日制读经教育的孩子父母背后的苦心和大爱,与大家共勉!



麦克阿瑟为子祈祷文——

我的孩子,
希望你能坚强到可以接纳自己的软弱,
从而能勇敢面对自己的恐惧。
在失败时仍不气馁,
胜利时仍保持温逊。
希望我的孩子,
不做一个只有幻想而无行动的人。

恳请上天,
不要让我的孩子走上安逸之途,
而是让他历经忧患与挑战,
好让他学会抵挡风雨,
又由此学习到怜悯跌倒的人。

让他有一颗纯洁的心,
有一个高尚的目标,
在指责别人之前学会自制,
在奔向未来之时仍不忘过去。

如果他有这些美德我仍拜托,
赐他足夠的幽默感,以免过于严肃;
赐他谦卑的心,使他永远记着自己的使命。

如此,作为父亲,我才敢暗自说:我不虚此生!

 ——道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟



General Douglas MacArthur's Prayer For His Son (May 1952)


Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.


Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be; a son who will know Thee ?and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.

Lead him I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail.

Build me a son whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.

And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength.

Then, I, his father, will dare to whisper, have not lived in vain.


——General Douglas MacArthur
