「只有在查卡 「查卡斯與天國」是文章的標題，開首部份描述了查卡斯地區的狀況：「這地方超凡優美，不僅是在自然環境方面，亦在於社會及靈性層面，這實在有賴這位於1976年前來查卡斯的堂區主任司鐸，意大利籍的伍高神父。他雖已達90高齡，卻是非常高大、說話流利、友善、強壯而敏捷。他的活力感染力強，甚至有移山的心願。」 文章亦述說了帶領青年歸向天主所需的要訣：「在世界其他角落，當人們都企圖遠離天主及宗教時，吸引青年歸向宗教及天主最佳的方法，就是鼓勵他們活出靈性生活，猶如一個歷險，就是要付出時間、能力、知識和整個生命，與人們的苦痛，以及數以百萬計的人所承受的不公義交戰。」
在馬里奧．巴爾加斯．略薩詳述伍高神父事業的同時，他又說，這簡短的清單既是冷冰冰的，也不夠完整，人們需要親歷其境才能理解。他建築了兩所發電廠和水塘，為城市及周邊地區及鄉村提供水電，並興建數間學校、一所有60張病床及擁有現代醫療設備的醫院、一所護士學校、雕塑、木工及家具工作室、運用最先進而環保耕種技術的農作企業、開辦山區導賞、雕塑、復修殖民時代工藝的訓練學校、開設玻璃工廠、彩色玻璃工作室、紡織及乳酪工廠、山區庇護所、殘疾兒童院、農民及商人合作社、教堂、灌溉河道等。本年八月，一所提供成人教育的大學將於查卡斯開幕。
他表示所有這些事業，如沒有為數眾多的意大利籍義工作出支援，是辦不到的：「目前我們在查卡斯有約50名義工，而全個地區則有350。他們在窮人當中過著謙遜的生活，單身的過著團體生活，已婚的與家人同住，並且沒有領取任何補助金。」他們大多與孩子定居於查卡斯。這位諾貝爾得獎者提及他們時說：「在主日彌撒中，一些金髮藍眼孩童與當地孩童一起，以克丘亞語、意大利語、西班牙語甚至拉丁語詠唱，真是不可思 文章結尾部份，堅決指出世界需要眾多願意委身援助鄰人的男女：「值得鼓勵人們在查卡斯居住，即使只是數天，這有助人們發現，在這唯利是圖的世界裡，竟然仍有很多男女願意委身為他人的利益服務，並在自我奉獻犧牲當中，找到他們生活的意義及基礎。」 整篇本章可於 La República 報章網頁中瀏覽 (http://www.larepublica.pe/columnistas/piedra-de-toque/chacas-y-el-cielo-06-04-2013)。在慈幼會網頁的網路電視中，載有一輯由鮑思高傳教媒體中心製作，有關伍高神父事業的影片(http://www.sdb.org/en/SDB_webTV/Provinces/PER&IDVideo=568&page=1)。
Nobel Laureate in Literature, Mario Vargas Llosa, praises Fr Ugo de Censi and his work in Chacas (ANS - Peru –Chacas, 12 April 2013) – “Only in Chacas can the poor be sure of a plate of food, a bed to sleep on, and a doctor to visit them in time of illness. In the rest of the world where values that Fr Ugo calls ‘diabolic’ are the order of the day, the poor die of hunger and people look the other way.” Thus wrote the Nobel Laureate in Literature, Mario Vargas Llosa, in an article published in the Peruvian newspaper “La República” on 7 April. He acknowledged the work of the Salesian, Fr Ugo de Censi, and, as often happens in his writing, he mixes social criticism and poetry, but always with a strong dose of reality. “Chacas and heaven” is the title given to the article, which begins with a description of the district of Chacas:”The extraordinary beauty of this place is not only physical, but also social and spiritual, thanks to Fr Ugo de Censi, an Italian who came to Chacas as parish priest in 1976. Despite his 90 years, Fr Ugo is tall, well-spoken, friendly, robust and agile. His energy is contagious and he has a will that can move mountains.” The article speaks also about what is needed to bring young people to God:”The best way to attract young people to religion and to God, at a time when the rest of the world is trying to escape from God and religion, is to encourage them to live the spiritual life as an adventure, giving their time, their strength, their knowledge and their whole life to combatting human suffering and the great injustices endured by so many millions of human beings.” Referring to what Fr de Censi said, the Nobel Laureate stated: “Fr de Censi’s ideas are very much his own, and must often have caused anxiety to his superiors in the Salesian congregation and in the hierarchy of the Church, not to mention economists and sociologists. He insists that money and intelligence are the work of the devil, that the contorted sermons and abstract ideas of theology and philosophy do not lead to God. They are more likely to lead people away from God. Reason is not of much help either in getting to know the Supreme Being. For Fr Ugo, it is not a question of trying to explain God, but of desiring him, thirsting for God, and when one finds him, abandoning oneself in fear, to that exaltation of the heart which comes from love.” Vargas Llosa details the work done by Fr Ugo, but says, at the same time, that a mere list is cold and incomplete, that one needs to experience the reality in order to understand it. He has built two electricity stations and reservoirs that provide electricity and water to the city and many surrounding districts and villages, as well as several schools, a hospital with sixty beds and the most modern medical equipment, a nursing school, workshops for sculpture, carpentry and furniture design, farming enterprises that use the most modern methods of cultivation while respecting the environment, a school for mountain guides, for carving, for restoring colonial works of art, a glass factory and workshops for stained glass, textile factories, cheese factories, mountain refuges, hospices for disabled children, cooperatives for farmers and tradesmen, churches, and canals for irrigation. August of this year will see the opening of a University for the education of adults in Chacas.” All this work would have been impossible without the support of many Italian volunteers, of whom he says: “At present there are about fifty volunteers in Chacas and 350 in the entire region. They live modestly, the single ones in community, and couples with their children in houses, among the poor, and they take no stipend.” Many of them remain in Chacas with their children. The Noel Laureate says of them: “It is amusing to see that crowd of children with fair hair and blue eyes at Mass on Sunday, together with local children, all singing in Quecha, Italian, Spanish and even Latin.” The article concludes by affirming the need for a world where there are many men and women willing to give their lives to help their neighbor: “It is encouraging to live in Chacas, even if only for a few days, and to discover that even in this selfish world there are men and women who give their lives to doing good and helping others, and who find in that self-giving and sacrifice the meaning and justification of their own lives.” The complete article is available on the site of the newspaper La República. In the section of the WebTV of sdb.org there is a video on the work of Fr Ugo de Censi, produced by Missioni Don Bosco. |
這位諾貝爾得獎者引用伍高神父的說話時表示：「伍高神父的理念大都是他本人的，並很大程度上使他慈幼修會的長上及教會高層感到憂慮，更遑論經濟學者及社會學者。他堅持金錢和智慧是魔鬼的事業，扭曲的講道以及在神哲學中抽象的概念，是不會指向天主，反而更使人遠離天主。理性對於幫助人們認識至高者，作用不大。對伍高神父來說，問題不是試圖理解天主，而是嚮慕、渴念天主，當找到天主後，人們便從畏懼中，投奔到那源自愛情的心靈提升中。」
