“Lord, please watch over my friend during this difficult time. Give her strength, wisdom, and peace, and help her find the support she needs. Amen.”
今天文章题目中的 Intercessory 源于英文动词 intercede,意思是“代为求情”。
inter = 在……之间(between)
cede = 行走、前进(go)
字面含义就是走到双方之间,从中斡旋。
看两个例句:
His mother interceded for him. 他母亲替他说情。
The teacher interceded with the principal on behalf of the student. 老师替那名学生向校长求情。
Intercessory Prayer是基督教信仰中的一种独特仪式,代祷,指的是一个人为他人向上帝祈求和祝福的祷告,简单来说,就是“替别人祷告”。许多基督徒相信,代祷不仅能帮助他人,也能塑造自己的品格,它使人学会跳出自我中心,培养同情心、责任感和怜悯之心。
