聖路濟亞中心 Centro de Santa Lucia

美麗的星期六早上,
參加了一個有意義的探訪活動,
雖然天氣非常炎熱,
但藍天白雲,
在九澳村的聖路濟亞中心內,
我看見很多天使,
默默地為約50名的慢性精神病患康復者服務.

原來中心長期住了一班院友,
由於心理,生理及環境原因有精神的小毛病,
與社區隔離,
其實她們的生活和普通人真的沒有太大分別,
只是她們的世界較小,
較自我,
有很大部分的院友的年紀較大,
及缺乏家人的關心.
希望有更多社會人士多些關懷她們,
在此送上無限的祝福,
中心的服務人員,
向您們致敬,
加油!

中心由胡子義神父於1963年創辦，最初成立目的是照顧一些貧困人士。1977年胡子義神父利用籌集的善款興建一座三層樓宇，擴展設施，在同年十月正式將中心取名為“聖路濟亞中心”。1980年2月由聖方濟各修會修女打理，逐漸使中心過渡為只接收女精神病患者。1993年1月，由聖安妮修會修女協助中心的管理工作。自1995年3月開始，中心積極展開修繕工程，期間得到社會各界的資助，1995年12月完成整體的重修工程。

"A Short Film About Love"

A Short Film About Love (Polish: Krótki film o miłości) is a Polish romantic drama film directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski and starring Grażyna Szapołowska and Olaf Lubaszenko. Written by Krzysztof Kieślowski and Krzysztof Piesiewicz,

The film is about a young post office worker deeply in love with a promiscuous older woman who lives in an adjacent apartment building.

After spying on her through a telescope, he meets and declares his love for this jaded woman who long ago gave up on believing in love.

She responds to his innocence by initiating him on the basic fact of life—that there is no love, only sex.
