引言
在中共武漢病毒（CCPVIRUS）的肆虐下，除了每日疫情報導，經濟衝擊，以及口罩大戰之下，也有溫馨的一面。這則感人的故事發生在自由的台灣。
一群意大利靈醫會的神父，在55年前來到了台灣，幫忙台灣在二戰後的重建。80歲的呂若瑟神父就在那時候萊到台灣。他幫忙在台灣離島的澎湖及東部偏遠鄉鎮的羅東設立醫院，並幫忙設立學校等等。這次中共病毒全球大流行，意大利受到巨大影響，所以在呂若瑟神父的號召之下，在短短數天，就已超過了300萬美金。
這件事，讓我們看到了宗教的力量及大愛，驅動著這些年輕的神職人員放棄一切，將一生奉獻在這陌生的國度；我們也看到了可愛熱情的台灣人的飲水思源。這些義舉，也給現在全球受難的時刻，注入了新生的力量。
Priest thanks Taiwanese for NT$120 million in donations for Italy
牧師感謝台灣人向意大利捐款1.2億新台幣
Taipei, April 7 (CNA) Father Giuseppe Didone (呂若瑟) issued an open letter Tuesday thanking Taiwanese for donating NT$120 million (US$3.97 million) in six days to a fundraising campaign he launched to help fight the new coronavirus outbreak in Italy.
4月7日，台北（CNA）呂若瑟（Giuseppe Didone）神父週二發表公開信，感謝台灣人在六天內為他發起的一項籌款運動捐款1.2億新台幣（約合379萬美元），以幫助應對意大利新型冠狀病毒爆發。
Didone appealed on April 1 for donations to be made to the fundraising center of Camillian Saint Mary's Hospital Luodong for the purchase of emergency medical provisions, including surgical face masks and protective gowns, for medical personnel in Italy, which has recorded 132,547 cases and 16,523 deaths from the disease, as of Monday.
呂若瑟神父於4月1日呼籲向羅東聖母的Camillian Saint Mary's醫院籌款中心捐款，該募款將用於為意大利的醫務人員購買包括外科口罩和防護服等緊急醫療用品。至星期一，意大利已有132,547例病例和16,523例死亡。
Though the fundraising deadline was originally set for April 15, Didone said he had decided to stop accepting donations Tuesday, after "exceeding all expectations" by raising NT$120 million from more than 20,000 donors.
儘管籌款的截止日期最初定在4月15日，但呂若瑟神父表示，他從超過2萬名捐助者那裡籌集了新台幣1.2億元，在“超出所預期”後，決定不再接受捐贈。
In the letter, Didone said the hospital is determining what types of supplies it can purchase in Taiwan without violating current government restrictions on the purchase and export of medical supplies.
呂若瑟神父在信中說，醫院正在確定可以在台灣購買哪種類型的用品，而不會違反政府目前對醫療用品的購買和出口的限制。
For those items that cannot be purchased in Taiwan, the hospital will ask its parent organization -- the Camillian Order -- for help obtaining them abroad.
對於那些在台灣無法購買的物品，醫院將要求其上級組織義大利靈醫會在國外獲得幫助。
The hospital also hopes to send a portion of the funds to Camillian Order leadership in Italy, to be used based on the recommendations of local public health authorities, Didone said.
呂若瑟神父說，該醫院還希望將一部分資金轉給意大利靈醫會負責人，以根據當地公共衛生當局的建議使用。
"In the last few days, I've seen a late-stage cancer patient come to the hospital to make a donation. I've seen an old vegetable vendor waiting in line to donate surgical face masks and some of her earnings. Can you imagine how it has moved me to see this?" Didone said.
呂若瑟神父說，“最近幾天，我看到一位晚期癌症患者來醫院捐款，以及一位年老的蔬菜攤販排隊等候捐贈手術口罩和她的一些收入。你可以想像一下，我是多麼的激動啊？”
The outpouring of support from Taiwanese society has "made me even more certain of the reason I decided to spend my life here," he said.
他說，台灣社會的大力支持“使我更加確定了我將生命奉獻這裡（台灣）的決定。”
In an interview with CNA on Saturday, Lee Li-chiu (李麗秋), director of the hospital's fundraising center, described the community's response by saying that "love increases in size like a snowball."
在周六接受CNA採訪時，醫院籌款中心主任李麗秋（Lee Li-chiu）形容社區的回應，稱“愛的增加像滾雪球一樣”。
In one case, which Didone referred to in his letter, an 83-year-old vegetable vendor from Yilan County's Dongshan District came to the hospital to donate eight surgical face masks and NT$800 from her weekly earnings, according to staff at the fundraising center.
籌款中心的工作人員說，呂若瑟神父在信中提到的一個案例中，一位來自宜蘭縣東山區的83歲蔬菜攤販來醫院捐贈了八個外科口罩和她每週的收入新台幣800元。 。
In another instance, a senior citizen living in Yilan's Jiaoxi Township made a donation to repay the medical care he received at the hospital 51 years ago when he was badly injured in an industrial accident, fundraising staff said.
籌款人員說，在另一起案例中，居住在宜蘭礁溪鄉的一名老年人捐款，以償還他51年前在一次工業事故中受重傷時在醫院接受的醫療服務。
Meanwhile, Yilan City Mayor Chiang Tsung-yuan (江聰淵) donated NT$100,000 from the government, and set up a fundraising location in downtown Yilan which had received NT$1.2 million as of Monday.
同時，宜蘭市市長江聰淵代表政府捐贈了10萬新台幣，並在宜蘭市區建立了募款地點，截至週一，該地點已收到120萬新台幣。
The hospital's fundraisers said many of the donors wished to repay the Order's Italian priests, who have spent decades building health care services in rural Taiwan.
醫院的籌款人說，許多捐助者希望報達靈醫會的意大利牧師，他們花了數十年的時間在台灣農村建立醫療服務。
Didone, who first came to Taiwan in 1965 and is now in his 80s, established special care centers for intellectually disabled people in Penghu and Yilan counties, and currently works at Camillian Saint Mary's Hospital in Luodong.
呂若瑟神父於1965年首次來到台灣，現在已經80多歲了，他在澎湖和宜蘭縣建立了智障殘疾人特殊護理中心，目前在羅東的卡米利聖瑪麗醫院工作。
In 2017, Didone and his late brother Antonio were among six members of the Camillian Order to receive Taiwanese citizenship, in recognition of their contributions to Taiwanese society.
2017年，呂若瑟神父和他已故的兄弟Antonio（安東尼奧），是卡米利教團獲得台灣公民身分的六名成員之一，以此來表彰他們對台灣社會的貢獻。
