聖約瑟夫大教堂St. Joseph’s Oratory.1
聖約瑟夫大教堂St. Joseph’s Oratory.
這座巨大的現代化教堂是魁北克省的三大宗教巡禮地之一
法系的天主教一向有推崇奇蹟的傾向
據說安德烈(Andre)修士曾以聖約瑟夫教堂中的燈油
治癒了許多身有殘疾的病人
蜂擁而來的人潮持續了30年之久
由禮拜堂內為數眾多的拐杖
同得知其之神奇療效
在眾人出錢出力之下
安德烈修士在皇家山建起了這一座約瑟夫大教堂
1924年建造
完成於1965年~
教堂體積之大
令人炫目世界上只有梵諦岡聖保羅大教堂的圓頂大於它!

且不論在市內西南方的任何一個角落都可看到這座禮拜堂的屋頂~

安德烈修士(Brother Andre)的心臟被信徒供奉瞻仰~
令人驚訝~~
入內造訪當年修士的故居
只見房內簡單的擺設
一個長板凳就是他的床
儉樸地可謂家徒四壁
他沒有多餘的物質生活
只有對上天的虔心以及對於當地人們的誠摯關懷~
The Brother André: I am a man just like you
His name was Alfred Bessette. He was born on August 9, in 1845, and was so weak at his birth his parents baptized him themselves the very next day, afraid he would not survive.
His family was poor, and in 1849, decidee to move to Farham ( in Quebec) where Alfred’s father hopped to earn a better living as a lumberjack. Unfortunately, he lost his life in a work accident, crushed by a falling tree when Alfred was only nine years old.
Alfred’s mother found herself widowed at the age of forty with ten children in her care. Tree yeras later, she died of tuberculosis. Brother André would later say of her, ‘I rarely prayed for my mother, but I often prayed to her.’
The family was split up. At the age of twelve Alfred found himself having to face the hardships of life. Barely able to write his own name or read the prayer book, he was forced to find work and learn a trade. Alfred would spend the next thirteen years wandering from job to job with few belongings and little hope.
The Labourer
Alfred tried to make a living in spite of his physical weakness. He traveled from job to job as an apprentice and was easily exploited by those stronger than himself. For a time, he worked in construction, then as a farm boy, a tinsmith, a blacksmith, a baker, a shoemaker and a coachman.
Following the flow of French-Canadian emigrants, he went to the United States and worked in the textile mills for four years. Even if his health was poor, he put his whole heart into his work: ’’Despite my weak condition’’, he would say, ’’I did not let anyone outdo me at work’’. In 1867, he came back to Canada.
In 1870, Alfred presented himself as a candidate for novitiate of the Congregation of Holy Cross in Montréal. Because of his weak health, his superiors had doubts concerning his religious vocation. However, he was finally accepted and given the name of Brother André, along with the responsibility of porter at Notre-Dame College. Talking about his early duties at the college, Brother André was found to say: ’’When I entered community, my superiors showed me the door, and I remained there for 40 years without leaving’’. On top of his porter duties, his daily tasks consisted of washing floors and windows, cleaning lamps, carrying firewood and working as messenger.

擁有5811支管子的管風琴每年重要的典禮時都奏出悠揚的樂聲
我心想要是能夠在這裡聽上一場管風琴的演奏會想必終身難忘!
可惜我祇曾在台北國家音樂廳欣賞過而已~

安德烈修士曾以教堂中的燈油
治癒了無數身有殘疾的人
禮拜堂內為數眾多的拐杖高懸其上
都是一一的感謝與見證~
據說是真的??
不過那還需要醫生作什麼?
心存懷疑中~~~
另外一個想法是當時需要籌措資金蓋教堂
故上帝顯現”神蹟”讓人信服
使信徒們願意奉獻金錢與體力來完成這美麗的建築吧!

在高高的教堂外望下去
有”北美巴黎”之稱的蒙特婁
是座近四百年歷史的古老城市
因為融合了法國和英國的根源以及多元的民族
而散發出一股充滿想像空間的迷人氣氛~~
