善牧修女會會徽
The Good Shepherd Symbol
使徒和默觀修女都戴這個會徽,以辨認是善牧修女。
All our sisters both apostolic and contemplative wear this Congregational Symbol, which identifies us as Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
二顆心
代表耶穌和聖母的心合而為一,我們救靈的熱忱是從這顆心來的, 福傳的精神是歡迎的、良善的、了解的、以及喜愛服務的,這些都見證每個人的價值。這也代表我們喜愛二顆心:自己小小的有限的心和天主大大無限的心。
The Two Hearts…represent the hearts of Jesus and Mary united as one. We draw our spirit of zeal from this Heart – an evangelical spirit of Welcome, Kindness, Understanding and Loving Service, which gives witness tothe value of each person.It also represents the reality that we love with two hearts: our own small, limited heart and the great heart of God.
彎曲的部份
代表大牧者的延伸,用來整救那些迷失或陷入困境的羊。經由教會,耶穌繼續用愛包圍著因人類弱點而受困苦的人,祂找尋迷失的、帶回迷路的、照料受傷的、以及將弱小的變堅強。耶穌用愛來克服所有的罪和不忠誠,也以此揭示了天父的慈愛。The Crook…represents the extension of the Shepherd’s own self, used to rescue the sheep that is lost or in trouble.Through the Church, Jesus continues to encompass with love all afflicted with human weakness. He looks for the lost one, brings back the strayed, tends the injured and makes the weak strong. Jesus reveals the Father’s mercy through a love which overcomes all sin and infidelity.
十字架
提醒我們牧者無私的代價,甚至不惜犧牲自己。我們奉獻自己的精神是根植於追隨基督基督以及祂復活的奧跡:十字架上死亡及復活。
The Cross…reminds us of the cost of the shepherd’s self-giving, even to laying down one’s life.We give our total gift of self, which is rooted in the following of Christ and in his paschal mystery, leading through the cross and death to resurrection.
