二月五日 常年期第四周星期五 每日讀經 https://youtu.be/Q9OIQBhVlRo

讀經一(耶穌基督昨天、今天、直到永遠,常是一樣。)

恭讀致希伯來人書 13:1-8

弟兄相愛之情應當常存。不可忘了款待旅客,曾有人因此於不知不覺中款待了天使。你們應懷念被囚禁的人,好像與他們同被囚禁;應懷念受虐待的人,好像你們也親身受了一樣。在各方面,婚姻應受尊重,床笫應是無玷污的,因為淫亂和犯姦的人,天主必要裁判。待人接物不應愛錢;對現狀應知足,因為天主曾親自說過:「我決不離開你,也決不棄捨你。」所以我們可放心大膽地說:「有上主保護我,我不畏懼;人能對我怎樣?」你們應該記念那些曾給你們講過天主的道理,作過你們領袖的人,默想他們的生死,好效法他們的信德。耶穌基督昨天、今天、直到永遠,常是一樣。——上主的話。

答唱詠 詠27:1,3,5,8-9

【答】:上主是我的光明,我的救援。

領:上主是我的光明,我的救援,我還畏懼何人?上主是我生命穩固的保障,我還害怕何人?【答】

領:雖有大軍向我進攻,我的心毫不戰慄;雖然戰爭向我迫近,我依然滿懷依恃。【答】

領:因為在我困難的時日,他將我藏在他的帳棚裏;將我藏在他帳幕的深處,並將我高舉放於磐石。【答】

領:上主,我在尋求你的儀容。求你不要向我掩住你的臉面,你發怒時不要將你僕人趕散。你向來就是我唯一的救援;救我的天主,不要棄我不管。【答】

福音前歡呼

領:亞肋路亞。

眾:亞肋路亞。

領:那些以善良和誠實的心傾聽天主聖言並把這話保存起來,以堅忍結出果實的人,真是有福。

眾:亞肋路亞。

福音(是我所斬首的若翰復活了!)

恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 6:14-29

那時,耶穌的名聲傳揚出去,黑落德王也聽到了。有人說:「洗者若翰從死者中復活了,為此,這些奇能才在耶穌身上運行。」但也有人說:「他是厄里亞。」更有人說:「他是先知,好像古先知中的一位。」黑落德聽了,卻說:「是我所斬首的若翰復活了!」

原來這個黑落德,為了他的兄弟斐理伯的妻子黑落狄雅的緣故,因為他娶了她為妻,曾遣人逮捕了若翰,把他押在監裏;因為若翰曾給黑落德說:「你不可佔有你兄弟的妻子。」黑落狄雅便懷恨若翰,願意殺害他,只是不能,因為黑落德敬畏若翰,知道他是一個正義聖潔的人,曾保全了他;幾時聽他講道,就甚覺困惑,但仍樂意聽他。

好機會的日子到了:當黑落德在自己的生日上,為自己的重要官員、軍官和加里肋亞的顯要,設了筵席的時候,那個黑落狄雅的女兒便進來跳舞,獲得了黑落德和同席人的歡心。王便對女孩說:「你要什麼,向我求吧!我必賜給你!」又對她發誓說:「無論你求我什麼,就是我王國的一半,我也必定給你!」她便出去問她的母親說:「我該求什麼?」她母親答說:「洗者若翰的頭。」她便立刻進去,到王面前要求說:「我要你立刻把洗者若翰的頭,放在盤子裏給我!」王遂十分憂鬱;但為了誓言和同席的人,不願對她食言,王遂即差遣衛兵,吩咐把若翰的頭送來。衛兵便去,在監裏斬了若翰的頭,把他的頭放在盤子裏送來,交給了那女孩子,那女孩子便交給了自己的母親。若翰的門徒聽說了,就來領去了他的屍身,把他安葬在墳墓裏。——上主的話。

反省

惡人不會一日沉淪,善人也不會一日成聖,重在平日生活中的恒常選擇。黑落德敬重若翰洗者,妻子黑落狄雅卻懷恨若翰,因為他指出她的心魔。黑落德的良心就在此兩者間交戰。他藉權力地位,奢華宴樂;不倫關係,導致他心志軟弱,最終無力抗拒黑落狄雅的心魔,又因顧及顏面而違心將若翰斬首。希伯來書說得好:「不可忘記善行、懷念困苦的人、潔身自愛、平心物慾;上主必不離棄他、保護他。」很多人在生活中常會面對善惡勢力的拉扯,是否有智慧和能力拒惡從善是非常關鍵的。(「我靈讚頌主 iBreviarium」── 樂仁出版社供稿)

Memorial of Saint Agatha, Virgin and Martyr Lectionary: 327 Reading I Heb 13:1-8

Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels. Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment, and of the ill-treated as of yourselves, for you also are in the body. Let marriage be honored among all and the marriage bed be kept undefiled, for God will judge the immoral and adulterers. Let your life be free from love of money but be content with what you have, for he has said, I will never forsake you or abandon you. Thus we may say with confidence: The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me? Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Responsorial Psalm 27:1, 3, 5, 8b-9abc R. (1a)

The Lord is my light and my salvation. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? The LORD is my life’s refuge; of whom should I be afraid?

R. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not fear; Though war be waged upon me, even then will I trust.

R. The Lord is my light and my salvation. For he will hide me in his abode in the day of trouble; He will conceal me in the shelter of his tent, he will set me high upon a rock.

R. The Lord is my light and my salvation. Your presence, O LORD, I seek. Hide not your face from me; do not in anger repel your servant. You are my helper: cast me not off.

R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Alleluia See Lk 8:15

R. Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are they who have kept the word with a generous heart, and yield a harvest through perseverance.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mk 6:14-29

King Herod heard about Jesus, for his fame had become widespread, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead; That is why mighty powers are at work in him.” Others were saying, “He is Elijah”; still others, “He is a prophet like any of the prophets.” But when Herod learned of it, he said, “It is John whom I beheaded. He has been raised up.” Herod was the one who had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, whom he had married. John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” Herodias harbored a grudge against him and wanted to kill him but was unable to do so. Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and kept him in custody. When he heard him speak he was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to him. Herodias had an opportunity one day when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his courtiers, his military officers, and the leading men of Galilee. His own daughter came in and performed a dance that delighted Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask of me whatever you wish and I will grant it to you.” He even swore many things to her, “I will grant you whatever you ask of me, even to half of my kingdom.” She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” Her mother replied, “The head of John the Baptist.” The girl hurried back to the king’s presence and made her request, “I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” The king was deeply distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests he did not wish to break his word to her. So he promptly dispatched an executioner with orders to bring back his head. He went off and beheaded him in the prison. He brought in the head on a platter and gave it to the girl. The girl in turn gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.

2月5日聖人 聖女亞加大(St. Agatha)童貞殉道 https://www.facebook.com/BonfireWorld/posts/2985167005039390

聖女亞加大是聖教初期四大殉道童貞聖女之一,與則濟利亞(采琪)、路濟亞(路琪)和依搦斯(雅妮)齊名,同為後世所稱道。聖女原籍西西里,出身名門,自幼立志守貞。地方長官垂涎她的姿色,竭力追求,遭聖女嚴詞拒絕。地方長官老羞成怒,將聖女逮捕下獄,威嚇利誘,並唆使妓院的鴇母誘騙。然而上主賜給她充分的勇敢和聖寵,她心堅如鐵,不為所動。惡官威逼聖女背主不遂,下令以毒鞭拷打,烈火炙燒,胸部用鐵鈎鈎傷。當夜,聖伯多祿親臨獄室安慰,神光照耀全室,傷處立即痊癒。四日後,惡官再用燒紅的炭塊與碎瓷片摻和,撒在她身上。聖女倍受諸般酷刑。二五一年二月五日夜,她喘息著說:「主,我的造物主,從我在搖籃起,你一直保護我,你救我擺脫了世俗的誘惑,你給我力量忍受世苦,現在請收我的靈魂吧!」說畢,一縷芳魂,飛入天國,榮獲殉道和貞潔的雙重花冠。聖女的芳名,列入彌撒聖祭經文中,每日在彌撒中,都在誦念。

2.5(五)活出愛 聖佳德貞女殉道 希伯來人書十三1-8

弟兄們,弟兄相愛之情應當常存。不可忘了款待旅客,曾有人因此於不知不覺中款待了天使。
你們應懷念被囚禁的人,好像與他們同被囚禁;應懷念受虐待的人,好像你們也親身受了一樣。
在各方面,婚姻應受尊重,床笫應是無玷的,因為淫亂和犯奸的人,天主必要裁判。
待人接物不應愛錢;對現狀應知足,因為天主曾親自說過:『我決不離開你,也決不棄捨你。』所以我們可放心大膽地說:『有上主保護我,我不畏懼;人能對我怎樣?』
你們應該記念那些曾給你們講過天主的道理,作過你們領袖的人,默想他們的生死,好效法他們的信德。耶穌基督昨天、今天、直到永遠,常是一樣。

(釋經小幫手)

在今天經文中,我們聽到初期的教會領導對歸化的猶太人有諸多勸勉:愛弟兄姊妹、款待旅客、懷念被囚禁和受虐待的人、對婚姻貞潔、不要吝嗇、要感恩知足、紀念在信德上為楷模的人。其實這些話對這世代的基督徒也同樣是個勸勉。

這麼多的勸告,表面上看起來要做很多,然而它們的核心只有一個——就是活出基督的愛。

經文說到:基督昨天、今天、直到永遠,常是一樣,因此,我們相信祂的愛也是昨天、今天、直到永遠的存在。這份常存的愛讓我們有源源不絕的動力去做善事、去幫助別人。我們的直覺告訴我們,我們是多麼渴望活在這樣愛的氛圍内。然而,經常我們發現自己無法愛,愛的動力被自私的需要、渴望、利益堵住了。這樣的生活方式讓我們不開心,但靠著自己的力量,我們無法超越。這時候,我們要重新回到信仰的真理——那常存的愛是來自耶穌,不是來自我們。要愛,我們就得與基督有親密的連結、心與心的對話、面對面的相遇,我們的心中、生命中自然而然會湧出愛的活水,我們會自發地為耶穌去愛人,只求耶穌愛的賞報。說實在的,我們沒看過耶穌,但是我們可以透過默想聖言,認識祂的心、祂的動機、祂的方法。

耶穌就是最吸引我們的領袖,讓祂來帶領我們去愛,教導我們如何愛,並激勵我們不要怠惰、不要放棄。


(品嚐聖言)

意識到耶穌的愛恆久不變,是一切行動、善事的根源。

(活出聖言)

找一位聖人或信德上的楷模,閱讀他的著作,並請耶穌教你如何愛。

(全心祈禱)

耶穌,請祢教導我如何與祢建立關係,讓我能夠像祢一樣活出愛。

2月5日   天主無條件的愛 
對於天主的愛,我們能說什麼呢?可以說天主的愛是無條件的。天主沒說:“我愛你,如果……”,天主的心思中沒有如果。天主對我們的愛,並非基於我們的所言所行、我們的長相或聰智、我們的成功或名聲。天主對我們的愛在我們出生前已經存在,在我們離世後也將依然存在。天主的愛到永永遠遠,並不受制於時間下的事件與環境。難道說天主不在意我們的所言所行嗎?不是的,如果天主不在意,祂的愛就不真切。愛,卻不要求條件,並不表示這樣的愛沒有關注。天主渴望與我們建立關係,也希望我們以愛回應祂。 
我們要敢於毫無懼怕的與天主進入親密關係,深信我們會領受愛,也總會領受更多。~ 盧雲神父
