倪胜民神父过逝，我除了为他祈祷，也想和您分享一个小故事。

虽然不是直接认识倪神父，却知道他是一位非常亲切，完全没有架子的总会长。2014年10月，我们一群志工紧锣密鼓地忙着《世事洞明 人情练达 颜哲泰神父口述历史》这本书付印以前的最后一哩路。我们知道倪神父和颜神父早年在菲律宾的东亚牧灵学院一起服务，交情很好。因此央请詹德隆神父帮忙向倪神父邀稿。

倪神父在百忙之中很快有了回复。他以英文点出颜神父的人格特质，很生动有趣地回忆往事，结束时并称颜神父是了不起的耶稣会士，也是他很好的朋友。中英文俱佳的本书撰稿人，范京生大哥火速将其译为中文。本文遂成为该书的一个亮点。

后来倪神父以总会长身分访问台湾，这本书当即呈赠给他，以示感谢。

以下便是六年前的这段文字姻缘。

一些往事
倪胜民神父（Aldofo Nicolas, 耶稣会总会长）撰    范京生 译

在生命的路途上，随手散播欢笑，总是怡然自得；颜哲泰神父（Pepe Calle）是拥有这特质的极少数人当中的一位。他总不会让人对他有不舒服的感觉。以拉丁民族的用语来说，他非常地幽默风趣，不把自己看得太重要，他也不让艰难和困局击败他，因为他深信终究会过去。

“伯伯”（Pepe）知道，凡事不会一成不变，也不致于无可挽救。高度的幽默感使他不致提早焦虑，而显得紧张兮兮，造成与他人相处困难。

与“伯伯”相处的诸多趣事中，我还记得一些。有一次，一同观赏电视上的奥运转播。众人正齐声赞叹优秀体操选手在力与美所展现的精准动作之时，他突然大声地嚷说：“为何我做不到这个样子，有人能告诉我吗？”

类似的场景，也发生于我们在东亚牧灵学院（EAPI）一同观赏《枢机主教》这部电视影片时。当电影放映到仍是年轻修生的男主角，在海滩上准备下水游泳时，突然间迎面走来两名美艳的少女，这正是影片想要呈现触电感觉的戏剧效果。就在这个当下，众人都清楚地听到“伯伯”开口说话了：“为何我就从未遇见过这档子的事？”也就是在这种诙谐的氛围下，我们才能继续看完这部电影。

极佳的幽默感促使他热情四溢，让别人乐于亲近他。在沮丧的时刻，许多人前来找他，寻求一句鼓励的话，或是期待一个温馨的安慰。我们都曾经欣慰地亲眼目睹，奎松市（马尼拉市近郊）的贫苦人家不间断地前来找他，却无视于我等其他人的存在。因为，仅只在他的身上，他们才能感受到同理心的怜悯。

颜哲泰神父是一位了不起的耶稣会士，也是我很好的朋友。

 
Memories of Pepe Calle.
Adolfo Nicolas

Pepe Calle is one of those very few persons that walk through life sowing smiles and one has difficulty in remembering anything unpleasant about them. Not only he is what the Latin people call very “simpatico”, but he appears as one of those persons that do not take themselves too seriously, nor do they allow passing problems or difficult situations ever crash them .

Pepe Calle knows that there are no final and definitive situations. His extraordinary sense of humor has helped him overcome those premature alarms that tend to make us tense and make our dealings with others difficult.

Among the most funny memories I have of Pepe Calle I could count that time when we were watching the Olympic Games on Television. At a given moment, when we were admiring the best gymnasts of the world perform and show their agility and their ability to control very precise movements, Pepe Calle came out loud with the words: “Can anybody tell me why I cannot do the same?”

A similar moment happened when we were watching on the TV of the EAPI the movie “The Cardinal”. When the Protagonist, who was then a Seminarian, was on the beach considering a swim, two beautiful girls came suddenly from the sea and the electricity they produced told us that the drama of the film was served. In that moment of drama and suspense we all heard the voice of Pepe Calle saying: “Why hasn´t this ever happened to me?” That helped us all endure the rest of the movie.

This sense of humor has helped Pepe Calle to be also a person of great compassion and very easy to approach. Many have approached him for a word of encouragement and consolation during a dark moment. We have all seen with admiration how the poor of Quezon City would ignore us and flock to Pepe because in him they could feel an empathy that the rest of us did not have.

Pepe is one of the greatest Jesuits I have ever met. And a very good friend.
