1
This is Daily Reflections on Divine Mercy from My Catholic Life.
2
Today's Reflection is entitled, Sweetness or Bitterness in Life?
3
Which do you prefer for your life?
4
Daily sensory experiences of sweetness or bitterness?
5
In other words, do you desire to take delight in the many aspects of your daily life,
6
or do you desire that the daily duty you fulfill leaves you with a certain bitterness within your senses?
hay bạn có mong muốn rằng nghĩa vụ hàng ngày bạn hoàn thành lại để lại trong cảm xúc của mình một nỗi đắng cay nhất định?
7
For most people the answer is simple.
Đối với hầu hết mọi người, câu trả lời rất đơn giản.
8
Sweetness is much better. But is it?
Vị ngon ngọt thì tốt hơn nhiều. Nhưng có phải vậy không?
9
Interestingly, the experience of sweetness or bitterness in life is not a good guide toward a life of holiness.
Thú vị thay, trải nghiệm ngọt ngào hay đắng cay trong cuộc sống không phải là một hướng dẫn tốt để dẫn đến một cuộc sống thánh thiện.
10
At times, even sin can taste sweet to us, while acts of holiness can be bitter at first.
Đôi khi, ngay cả tội lỗi cũng có thể có vị ngọt ngào đối với chúng ta, trong khi những hành động thánh thiện ban đầu lại có thể mang vị đắng.
11
Understanding this will allow us to move deeper into our embrace of the will of God.
Việc hiểu rõ điều này sẽ giúp chúng ta đi sâu hơn vào việc đón nhận ý muốn của Chúa Trời.
12
Our goal must be to seek His will purely for the sake of His will.
Mục tiêu của chúng ta phải là tìm kiếm ý muốn của Ngài hoàn toàn vì lợi ích của chính ý muốn Ngài.
13
We must have no preference regarding the delight or suffering that comes as a result of embracing His will.
Chúng ta không được có sự ưu ái nào đối với niềm vui hay đau khổ đến từ việc đón nhận ý muốn của Ngài.
14
If God's will requires great sacrifice, leaving us with a sensory experience of suffering, then so be it.
15
If His will draws us to an exchange of love that leaves us with a sweet delight, then so be it.
16
Though it is hard to arrive at a level of total detachment, we must strive for it.
17
His will and His will alone must be our focus.
18
In His will alone do we discover His abundance of mercy.
19
Reflect upon the difference between God's will and the delight or distaste you feel from embracing it.
20
When His will calls you to sacrifice, you will find it to be a sort of bitter experience,
21
bitter in the sense that it may challenge your senses.
22
Do not worry about this.
23
Seek His will in all things,
24
and the joy in your heart will ultimately overshadow all other immediate experiences you have.
25
His will opens the door to His abundant mercy.
26
Let us pray.
27
Lord I seek Your most holy will about all things.
28
me to choose your will no matter how difficult or how delightful it may be.
29
Purify me, dear Lord, and give me a single focus in life
30
so that my embrace of all you call me to do will bring forth your perfect mercy.
31
Jesus, I trust in you.
32
Thank you.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
