四月十二日 復活期第二周星期一 每日讀經 https://youtu.be/juMKINdKDso

讀經一(他們祈禱完畢,眾人都充滿了聖神,大膽地宣講天主的真道。)

恭讀宗徒大事錄 4: 23-31

伯多祿和若望被釋放之後,來到自己的人那裏,報告了大司祭和長老向他們所說的一切;大家一聽,都同心合意地高聲向天主說:「上主!『是你創造了天地海洋,和其中的一切。』你曾以聖神藉我們的祖先、你的僕人達味的口說過:『異民為何叛亂?萬民為何策劃妄事?世上的君王起來,首領聚集在一起,反對上主和他的受傅者。』實在,黑落德和般雀比拉多與異民和以色列人聚集在這座城內,反對你的聖僕人耶穌,反對你的受傅者,實行了你的手和計劃所預定要成就的事。現今,上主!請注意他們的恐嚇,賜你的僕人以絕大的膽量,宣講你的真道,同時伸出你的手,藉你的聖僕人耶穌的名字治病,顯徵兆,行奇蹟。」他們祈禱後,他們聚集的地方震動起來,眾人都充滿了聖神,大膽地宣講天主的真道。——上主的話。

答唱詠 詠2:1-3,4-6,7-9

【答】:投奔上主的人,是有福的。

或詠唱「亞肋路亞」

領:萬邦為什麼囂張,眾民為什麼妄想?世上列王群集一堂,諸侯畢至聚首相商,反抗上主,反抗他的受傅者:「來!我們掙斷他們的捆綁,我們擺脫他們的繩韁!」【答】

領:坐於天上者在冷笑,我主對他們在熱嘲,在震怒中對他們發言,在氣燄中對他們喝道:「我已祝聖我的君王,在熙雍我的聖山上。」【答】

領:我要傳報上主的聖旨:上主對我說:「你是我的兒子,我今日生了你。你向我請求,我必將萬民賜你作產業,我必將八極賜你作領地。你必以鐵杖將他們粉碎,就如同打破陶匠的瓦器。」【答】

福音前歡呼

領:亞肋路亞。

眾:亞肋路亞。

領:你們既然與基督一同復活了,就該追求天上的事,在那裏有基督坐在天主的右邊。

眾:亞肋路亞。

福音(人除非再生,不能見到天主的國。)

恭讀聖若望福音 3:1-8

有一個法利塞黨人,名叫尼苛德摩,是個猶太人的首領。有一夜,他來到耶穌前,向他說:「辣彼,我們知道你是由天主而來的師傅,因為天主若不同他在一起,誰也不能行你所行的這些神蹟。」耶穌回答說:「我實實在在告訴你:人除非由上而生,不能見到天主的國。」尼苛德摩說:「人已年老,怎樣能重生呢?難道他還能再入母腹而重生嗎?」耶穌回答說:「我實實在在告訴你:人除非由水和聖神而生,不能進天主的國:由肉生的屬於肉,由神生的屬於神。你不要驚奇,因我給你說了:你們應該由上而生。風隨意向那裏吹,你聽到風的響聲,卻不知道風從那裏來,往那裏去。凡由聖神而生的就是這樣。」——上主的話。

反省

人除非重生,不能進天國。換言之,所有的基督徒都該是一個「重生」的人。

在主耶穌對尼苛德摩的教導中,我們知道這「重生」不是指肉身的再造,而是指靈性生命的重生。這種重生需要經過水的洗滌,就是靠著真心悔改,經由基督的救贖而獲得罪赦;然後,在聖神內,通過對天主聖言的順服,重新塑造生命。如保祿宗徒所領悟到的:「如果我們因聖神生活,就應隨從聖神的引導而行事。」(迦5:25)

主耶穌基督,我渴望生命能夠相似祢的生命,求祢幫助我經由悔改和順服祢的旨意而獲得重生,並將聖神傾注在我心中!

2021 Catholic Mass Daily Bible Reading https://youtu.be/LWJPQxQQw3Q

Monday of the Second Week of Easter Lectionary: 267 Reading I Acts 4:23-31

After their release Peter and John went back to their own people and reported what the chief priests and elders had told them. And when they heard it, they raised their voices to God with one accord and said, “Sovereign Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them, you said by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of our father David, your servant: Why did the Gentiles rage and the peoples entertain folly? The kings of the earth took their stand and the princes gathered together against the Lord and against his anointed. Indeed they gathered in this city against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed, Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do what your hand and your will had long ago planned to take place. And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and enable your servants to speak your word with all boldness, as you stretch forth your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” As they prayed, the place where they were gathered shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

Responsorial Psalm 2:1-3, 4-7a, 7b-9 R. (see 11d)

Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord. or:

R. Alleluia. Why do the nations rage and the peoples utter folly? The kings of the earth rise up, and the princes conspire together against the LORD and against his anointed: “Let us break their fetters and cast their bonds from us!”

R. Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord. or:

R. Alleluia. He who is throned in heaven laughs; the LORD derides them. Then in anger he speaks to them; he terrifies them in his wrath: “I myself have set up my king on Zion, my holy mountain.” I will proclaim the decree of the LORD.

R. Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord. or:

R. Alleluia. The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; this day I have begotten you. Ask of me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall rule them with an iron rod; you shall shatter them like an earthen dish.”

R. Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord. or:

R. Alleluia.

Alleluia Col 3:1

R. Alleluia, alleluia. If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Jn 3:1-8

There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man once grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?” Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

4.12(一)重生的眼睛 若望福音三1-8
(聆聽聖言)
——————————

有一個法利塞人,名叫尼苛德摩,是個猶太人的首領。
有一夜,他來到耶穌前,向祂說:「辣彼,我們知道祢是由天主而來的師傅,因為天主若不同他在一起,誰也不能行祢所行的這些神跡。」
耶穌回答說:「我實實在在告訴你:人除非由上而生,不能見到天主的國。」
尼苛德摩說:「人已年老,怎樣能重生呢?難道他還能再入母腹而重生嗎?」
耶穌回答說:「我實實在在告訴你:人除非由水和聖神而生,不能進天主的國:由肉生的屬於肉,由神生的屬於神。
你不要驚奇,因我給你說了:你們應該由上而生。
風隨意向那裏吹,你聽到風的響聲,卻不知道風從那裏來,往那裏去:凡由聖神而生的就是這樣。」

(釋經小幫手)

在今天的福音中,耶穌說:「我實實在在告訴你:人除非由上而生,不能見到天主的國。」試問,什麼叫「見到天主的國」?對你來說,天主的國長得怎麼樣?天國內最不可或缺的是什麼?它的氣氛是怎麼樣的?今天不妨花點時間把你所想像的天國用畫的、或是用寫的描述一番。

多數人所描述的天國是一個好地方,是一個人們會嚮往的地方:明亮的、和平的、公義的,人與人之間充滿友愛、善意和仁慈、生活沒有匱乏欠缺的……等。

但是,耶穌沒有說天國是一個地方,而是當我們被重生以後才能看到的現實:「我實實在在告訴你:人除非由上而生,不能見到天主的國。」多少時候,我們的價值被自己的文化、家庭、教育背景塑造,使我們對人、對事都有偏見。什麼是好的或壞的、值得追求的或要盡量躲避的、要大肆表現的或強力壓抑的,早已深深被烙印在我們的思維中。但當我們沒有反省、機械式的服從這些價值,往往一些反天國的現象會滋生。

耶穌說我們要由上而生就是要我們把我們這些地上的價值和天主的價值對照,讓天主的價值淨化它,讓我們用不一樣的眼睛——重生過的眼睛看待一切。的確,這個過程並不容易,但聖神可以幫助我們。問題是,我們願意讓聖神推動我們嗎?


(品嚐聖言)

默想,被聖神重生過的眼睛,會怎麼看這世界?

(活出聖言)

當你急著判斷某件人事物時,先祈求聖神賜給你祂看事情的智慧。

(全心祈禱)

親愛的主聖神,請來淨化我的眼目,讓我看到並嚮往真正的天國。

4月12日   憐憫的權柄 
我們常認為極有權柄的人都是高高在上,遙不可及的。但是屬靈權柄卻源自憐憫的心,與那些“臣服”於權柄的人深相連結。與我們完全一樣,深深瞭解我的喜樂與痛苦、希望與絕望,也願意與我們同行的人,就是我們願意賦予權柄,並且願意“臣服”的人。 
由憐憫而生的權柄能賦予人力量,激勵人、引發人隱藏的恩賜,成全美事。真正屬靈領導者的權柄猶如倒立三角形的那一點,支持、照亮他們所領導的人。~ 盧雲神父
