讀經一(耶穌奉獻了自己,只一次而為永遠完成了祭獻。)
恭讀致希伯來人書 7:25-8:6
凡由耶穌而接近天主的人,他全能拯救,因為他常活著,為他們轉求。
這樣的大司祭才適合於我們,他是聖善的、無辜的、無玷的、別於罪人的、高於諸天的;他無須像那些大司祭一樣,每日要先為自己的罪,後為人民的罪祭獻犧牲;因為他奉獻了自己,只一次而為永遠完成了這事,因為法律所立為大司祭的人是有弱點的;可是在法律以後,以誓言所立的聖子,卻是成全的,直到永遠。
我們所論述的要點即是:我們有這樣一位大司祭,他已坐在天上「尊威」的寶座右邊,在聖所,即真會幕裏作臣僕;這會幕是上主而不是人所支搭的。凡大司祭都是為奉獻供物和犧牲而立的,因此這一位也必須有所奉獻。假使他在地上,他就不必當司祭,因為已有了按法律奉獻供物的司祭。這些人所行的敬禮,只是天上事物的模型與影子,就如梅瑟要製造會幕時,曾獲得神示說:「要留心——上主說——應一一按照在山上指示你的式樣去做。」
現今耶穌已得了一個更卓絕的職份,因為他作了一個更好的,並建立在更好的恩許之上的,盟約的中保。——上主的話。
答唱詠 詠40:7-8,8-9,10,17
【答】:上主,看,我已到來,為承行你的旨意。
領:上主,犧牲與素祭已非你所喜,就開了我的耳朵;全燔之祭以及贖罪之祭,也已非你所要。於是我說:「你看,我已到來!」【答】
領:關於我,書卷上已有記載:我的天主,承行你的旨意為我所喜愛,你的法律常存於我的心懷。【答】
領:在盛大的集會中,我宣揚了你的正義,看,我並沒有閉口不言,上主,你全知悉。願那些尋求你的人,都因你歡欣鼓舞,願戀慕你救恩的人,都常說「偉大的上主!」【答】
福音前歡呼
領:亞肋路亞。
眾:亞肋路亞。
領:我們的救主耶穌基督毀滅了死亡,藉著福音彰顯了不朽的生命。
眾:亞肋路亞。
福音(邪魔喊說:「你是天主子。」但耶穌卻嚴厲責斥他們,不要把他顯露出來。)
恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 3:7-12
那時,耶穌同自己的門徒退到海邊去,有許多民眾從加里肋亞跟隨了來,並有從猶太、耶路撒冷、依杜默雅、約旦河彼岸、提洛和漆東一帶地方的許多群眾,聽說他所作的一切事,都來到他跟前。因為人多,他遂吩咐他的門徒,為自己備好一隻小船,免得人擁擠他。因為他治好了許多人,所以,凡有病災的人都向他湧來,要觸摸他。邪魔一見了他,就俯伏在他面前喊說:「你是天主子。」他卻嚴厲責斥他們,不許把他顯露出來。——上主的話。
反省
聽說過耶穌所行事蹟的群眾,多是貧困人士,孤立無援,唯有寄望於這位傳聞中的耶穌。他們起初只希望耶穌治愈他們身體的病苦,殊不知他們所渴望的痊愈與幸福,就如梅瑟的會幕,只是天上事物的模型和影子。
若果我們想解答心靈深處的疑問,就要透過盟約的中保耶穌,與天主的奧秘相遇;學習耶穌,把船划開,與世俗的滿全、人性的弱點和假象保持距離,使內心有充分的自由和空間,分辨什麼是真正的道路、真理和生命。
求主賜予我們這神聖空間。(「我靈讚頌主 iBreviarium」── 樂仁出版社供稿)
2021 Catholic Mass Daily Bible Reading Memorial of Saint Agnes, Virgin and Martyr Lectionary: 314 Reading I Heb 7:25—8:6
Jesus is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them. It was fitting that we should have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens. He has no need, as did the high priests, to offer sacrifice day after day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did that once for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints men subject to weakness to be high priests, but the word of the oath, which was taken after the law, appoints a son, who has been made perfect forever. The main point of what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up. Now every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus the necessity for this one also to have something to offer. If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are those who offer gifts according to the law. They worship in a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, as Moses was warned when he was about to erect the tabernacle. For God says, “See that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” Now he has obtained so much more excellent a ministry as he is mediator of a better covenant, enacted on better promises.
Responsorial Psalm 40:7-8a, 8b-9, 10, 17 R. (8a and 9a)
Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. Sacrifice or oblation you wished not, but ears open to obedience you gave me. Burnt offerings or sin-offerings you sought not; then said I, “Behold I come.”
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. “In the written scroll it is prescribed for me, To do your will, O my God, is my delight, and your law is within my heart!”
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. I announced your justice in the vast assembly; I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. May all who seek you exult and be glad in you, And may those who love your salvation say ever, “The LORD be glorified.”
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
Alleluia See 2 Tm 1:10
R. Alleluia, alleluia. Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death and brought life to light through the Gospel.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel Mk 3:7-12
Jesus withdrew toward the sea with his disciples. A large number of people followed from Galilee and from Judea. Hearing what he was doing, a large number of people came to him also from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from beyond the Jordan, and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon. He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him. He had cured many and, as a result, those who had diseases were pressing upon him to touch him. And whenever unclean spirits saw him they would fall down before him and shout, “You are the Son of God.” He warned them sternly not to make him known.

1月21日聖人 聖女依搦斯(St. Agnes)童貞殉道 https://www.facebook.com/BonfireWorld/posts/2973557212867036
聖女依搦斯是聖教信友最熟悉的聖女之一,她的名字列入每日彌撒「行祭常典」內。她是基督的戰士中最榮耀而且最動人的一位勝利者。她是一位羅馬貴族的姑娘。十歲的時候,已立志終身守貞,因她貌美家富,很多富家子弟,競相求婚。羅馬總督的兒子也來向她求婚時,她莊嚴地回答說:「我已許配給天神們侍衛的基督。」總督老羞成怒,下令將她逮捕。法官威脅利誘,聖女無動於衷。衙役燒起烈火,將鐵鈎和各項殘酷的刑具,擺列在她面前,聖女毫無懼容。總督又下令將聖女投入妓院,但天主特別保護她,任何人都不能走近她身旁,總督黔驢技窮,命將聖女斬首。聖女欣然前赴刑場,引頸就戳。旁觀者淚如泉湧,泣不成聲。劊子手拿著刀顫慄,不敢下手。聖女從容對他說:「請快些斬吧,不要怕。我叫新郎(指耶穌)久等,豈不是對新郎不大尊重嗎?」刑吏刀落頭斷,聖女一縷芳魂飛奔天國去了。那時約在三O四年,聖女死時年僅十三歲。在她的墓上,建有大堂一座,至今仍在。
聖女依搦斯的像上,常繪有羔羊和棕櫚葉。每年聖女慶節,羅馬聖依搦斯大堂唱讚頌聖女的經,唱到「她右邊有羔羊比雪更皎白」時,祭台前呈獻兩隻羔羊,由主禮者降福,交修會人員飼養;這兩隻羔羊剪下的羊毛,編織成衣帶,在聖伯多祿聖保祿慶節望日,陳列於聖伯多祿大堂,並覆於聖伯多祿身上。

1.21(四)叫我的名字 聖雅妮貞女殉道 瑪爾谷福音三7-12
那時候,耶穌同自己的門徒退到海邊去。
有許多民眾從加里肋亞跟隨了來,並有從猶太、耶路撒冷、依杜默雅、約但河彼岸、提洛和漆冬一帶地方的許多群眾,聽說祂所做的一切事,都來到祂跟前。因為人多,祂遂吩咐祂的門徒,為自己備好一隻小船,免得人擁擠祂。
因為祂治好了許多人,所以,凡有病災的人都向祂湧來,要觸摸祂。邪魔一見了祂,就俯伏在祂面前,喊說:
「祢是天主子。」
祂卻嚴厲責斥他們,不要把祂顯露出來。

(釋經小幫手)
「名字」對誰都重要:要跟人建立關係,要先認識他的名字;要管教小孩,大人會連名帶姓叫他;在某個領域出名,不用自我介紹,人人皆知道你的大名。那麼,在今天的聖言中,為什麼耶穌不要邪魔告訴大家祂的名字呢?祂不是「天主子」嗎?
邪魔的目的一定是跟耶穌的完全相反;耶穌要救人,邪魔要毀滅人。按照當時的巫術,邪魔若是被耶穌允許用祂的名字到處宣傳,那就會代表邪魔的能力比耶穌還大,而耶穌會屈服在牠們的權下。因此充滿智慧的耶穌不允許邪魔叫祂,也不允許牠們講論祂的事情。
那麼,回到我們身上,我們祈禱時,可以直接用名字稱呼耶穌,這不是代表耶穌首先是允許我們這樣稱呼祂,對嗎?而且耶穌希望我們傳關於祂的事。看出來,主耶穌很渴望我們認識祂,更像親人一般用名字互相稱呼,有時候還會用小名互叫。
在你的信仰歷程裡,耶穌如何叫你呢?你如何叫耶穌呢?在祈禱中,你有你的名字,耶穌有耶穌的名字,兩個個體因為彼此的信任而分享;有說,也有聽,有靜默,也有歡樂。有時候,靜默和沒有感覺比有感覺多,這並不代表祂很遠,但這可能代表主渴望你到下一段的關係層面。你只管叫祂:「耶穌,主耶穌,我的朋友,我的主,請來,請說話,我在此聆聽」。耶穌會因為你呼喚祂而浮到你的意識裡,用一種僅屬於你和祂獨特的模式來陪伴彼此。
(品嚐聖言)
默想耶穌如何看你,如何呼喚你的名字。
(活出聖言)
今天,不時不時地呼喚主耶穌。
(全心祈禱)
主耶穌,謝謝祢讓我用你的名字來叫祢,這是何等的福利和福分啊!

1月21日 獨處的心靈花園
獨處是心靈的花園,渴望愛的澆灌,是形單影隻亦可以結果累累的地方,也是我們漂泊焦慮身心的家園。獨處,是屬靈生活必須的,這不是一處易於停留的地方,因為我們是如此的恐懼、沒有安全感,如果有什麼東西可以立即得到滿足,我們就會因此分心。獨處沒有立即的滿足感,因為獨處中,我們遇見自己的心魔,纏迷、情欲、怒氣以及想要得到認可、稱許的極度需求。但是我們若不逃避,也會在獨處中遇見天主,祂說:“不要怕,縱使你應走過陰森的幽谷,我也與你同在。”
我們要常常回到獨處的心靈花園。~ 盧雲神父
