四月二十四日 復活期第三周星期六 每日讀經 https://youtu.be/mkfl5R79vI0

讀經一(教會遂建立起來,並因著聖神的鼓勵,逐漸發展。)

恭讀宗徒大事錄 9:31-42

教會既在全猶太、加里肋亞和撒瑪黎雅得了平安,遂建立起來,懷著敬畏上主之情行動,並因著聖神的鼓勵,逐漸發展。當伯多祿巡視各處時,也到了居住在里達的聖徒那裏。在那裏遇見了一個人,名叫艾乃阿,患癱瘓病,躺在床上已有八年。伯多祿向他說:「艾乃阿!耶穌基督治好你了;起來,整理你的床褥吧!」他即刻起來了。凡住在里達和沙龍的人,見了他,就都歸依了主。

在約培有個女門徒,名叫塔彼達,希臘文叫作多爾卡,她多行善事,廣施賙濟,就在那幾天病死了;人把她洗滌後,停在樓上。里達因臨近約培,門徒們聽說伯多祿在那裏,就打發兩個人到他那裏去,請求說:「你不可再遲延到我們那裏去了。」伯多祿就動身同他們去了;他一來到,他們領他上了樓;所有的寡婦都來到他前,哭著把多爾卡同她們在一起的時候所製的內外衣,指給他看。伯多祿叫眾人都退到外面以後,遂屈膝祈禱,轉身向遺體說:「塔彼達,起來!」她便睜開眼,看見了伯多祿,就坐了起來。伯多祿伸手扶她起來;隨後,叫聖徒和寡婦們進來,叫他們看她已活了。這事傳遍了全約培,就有許多人信了主。——上主的話。

答唱詠 詠116:12-13,14-15,16-17

【答】:我應該要怎樣報謝上主,謝他賜給我的一切恩佑?

或詠唱「亞肋路亞」

領:我應該要怎樣報謝上主,謝他賜給我的一切恩佑?我要舉起救恩的杯爵,我要呼籲上主的名號。【答】

領:我要在眾百姓面前,向上主還我的誓願!上主的聖者們的去世,在上主眼中十分珍貴。【答】

領:我的上主!我是你的僕役,你僕役是你婢女的兒子;你解開了我的鎖鍊,我要獻給你讚美之祭,我要呼號上主的名字。【答】

福音前歡呼

領:亞肋路亞。

眾:亞肋路亞。

領:上主,你的話就是神,就是生命,惟你有永生的話。

眾:亞肋路亞。

福音(主啊!惟你有永生的話,我們還投奔誰呢?)

恭讀聖若望福音 6:60-69

耶穌的門徒中有許多人聽了他的話,便說:「這話生硬,誰能聽得下去呢?」耶穌自知他的門徒對這話竊竊私議,便向他們說:「這話使你們起反感嗎?那麼,如果你們看到人子升到他先前所在的地方去,將怎樣呢?使生活的是神,肉一無所用;我給你們所講論的話,就是神,就是生命。但你們中間有些人,卻不相信。」原來,耶穌從起頭就知道那些人不信,和誰要出賣他。所以他又說:「為此,我對你們說過:除非蒙父恩賜的,誰也不能到我這裏來。」從此,他的門徒中有許多人退去了,不再同他往來。於是耶穌向那十二人說:「難道你們也願走嗎?」西滿伯多祿回答說:「主!惟你有永生的話。我們去投奔誰呢?我們相信,而且已知道你是天主的聖者。」——上主的話。

反省

天主的話,很多時候讓我們聽不順耳,也讓我們心情不爽,那時因為我們人性的慾望經常與天主的旨意背道而馳。聖經中有許多會讓沉迷世俗與罪惡中的人感覺「生硬」的話,然而天主的話正是苦口良藥,是逆耳忠言。順服的人,就可以得到醫治,得到寬恕,得到新生命的力量。

基督徒每天都會面對世俗的挑戰,我們選擇屈服於世俗的安逸生活呢?還是選擇背著十字架跟隨主耶穌?是為追求此世的享受而勞苦不休呢?還是要為爭取天國永生而奮鬥呢?(「我靈讚頌主 iBreviarium」── 樂仁出版社供稿)

Saturday of the Third Week of Easter Lectionary: 278 Reading I Acts 9:31-42

The Church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace. She was being built up and walked in the fear of the Lord, and with the consolation of the Holy Spirit she grew in numbers. As Peter was passing through every region, he went down to the holy ones living in Lydda. There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been confined to bed for eight years, for he was paralyzed. Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed.” He got up at once. And all the inhabitants of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated is Dorcas). She was completely occupied with good deeds and almsgiving. Now during those days she fell sick and died, so after washing her, they laid her out in a room upstairs. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, “Please come to us without delay.” So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the room upstairs where all the widows came to him weeping and showing him the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them. Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to her body and said, “Tabitha, rise up.” She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up. He gave her his hand and raised her up, and when he had called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive. This became known all over Joppa, and many came to believe in the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm 116:12-13, 14-15, 16-17 R. (12)

How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me? or:

R. Alleluia. How shall I make a return to the LORD for all the good he has done for me? The cup of salvation I will take up, and I will call upon the name of the LORD

R. How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me? or:

R. Alleluia. My vows to the LORD I will pay in the presence of all his people. Precious in the eyes of the LORD is the death of his faithful ones.

R. How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me? or:

R. Alleluia. O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your handmaid; you have loosed my bonds. To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving, and I will call upon the name of the LORD. R. How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me? or:

R. Alleluia.

Alleluia See Jn 6:63c, 68c

R. Alleluia, alleluia. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Jn 6:60-69

Many of the disciples of Jesus who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you? What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the Spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.” As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer walked with him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”

4月24日聖人 聖女貝萊蒂(St. Pelletier)童貞、善牧仁愛聖母會會祖 https://www.facebook.com/BonfireWorld/posts/3045519162337507

聖女貝萊蒂是法國不列顛尼人,一七九六出生。幼年在都爾女修院讀書,那女修院是聖若望歐德於一七四一年創立的,以收容照顧墮落婦女為目標。

一八一四年,貝萊蒂入該修院為初學修女。十一年後,升任該院院長。那時她還只有廿九歲。過了一個時期,貝萊蒂去比利時國安日管理一座同一性質的機構。

那時,各地收容墮落婦女的機構,缺乏統一組織,工作效率不免大打折扣。貝萊蒂就倡議設立一個中心組織訓練修女,獻身救濟婦女的工作,這個女修會名為仁愛善牧會;一八三五年,正式獲得教廷批准,會務迅速發展,分會遍及全球。貝萊蒂逝世時(一八六八年),善牧會修女已有二千七百餘人,造福社會,口碑載道。貝萊蒂於一九四O年榮列聖品。

4.24(六)祢的話是神 聖斐德司鐸殉道 若望福音六60-69
(聆聽聖言)
—————————

那時候,耶穌的門徒中有許多聽了,便說:「這話生硬,有誰能聽得下去呢?」
耶穌自知祂的門徒對這話竊竊私議,便向他們說:
「這話使你們起反感嗎?那麼,如果你們看到人子昇到祂先前所在的地方去,將怎樣呢?
使生活的是神,肉一無所用;我給你們所講論的話,就是神,就是生命。但你們中間有些人,卻不相信。」
原來,耶穌從起頭就知道那些人不信,和誰要出賣祂。所以祂又說:「為此,我對你們說過:除非蒙父恩賜的,誰也不能到我這裏來。」
從此,祂的門徒中有許多人退去了,不再同祂往來。於是耶穌向那十二人說:「難道你們也願走嗎?」
西滿.伯多祿回答說:「主!惟祢有永生的話,我們去投奔誰呢?我們相信,而且已知道祢是天主的聖者。」

(釋經小幫手)

「這話生硬,有誰能聽得下去呢?」聖經裡很多話語都不容易懂,很多時候也不合理。而且,中國的很多古典經書都寫的比聖經還優美。我們愛上聖經、每天都渴望聽聖經的話,不是因為言語優美,也不是因為很有智慧或有道理,而是因為聖經裡有天主活生生的聲音;祂對我說話,也對我表達自己最內在的思念。

聖經的話就如若望福音所說的:「它就是神,就是生命」,不是因為作者寫得好,而是生活的天主透過他們所寫的,傳遞聖神的力量。外表微不足道,但內在卻是聖神的德能。很可惜,很少人渴望深入與聖言祈禱,與主心對心的祈禱,很少人像聖母一樣把每天祈禱的話默存心中,把耶穌的話活出來,因為只有這樣聖言的德能才能發酵,才能進入人心,徹底地轉變人的思言行為。

主耶穌在這復活期看著我們,溫柔的問你和我:「難道你們也想走嗎?難道你們的心還是要離我那麼遠?」耶穌渴望的不是教友,而是心連心的朋友,把祂的話當成一回事的朋友。一方面,我們要努力維持對主的信賴,但另一方面,信仰是一份禮物,所以耶穌說:「除非蒙父恩賜的,誰也不能到我這裏來。」所以,我們要謙卑的求信德,謙卑的意識到,我們的一切來自天父。讓這一份感恩常滋潤心田,使聖言的種子在我們內得以成長,使充滿神和生命的言語結出天父喜悅的果實。


(品嚐聖言)

眼對眼看著耶穌問你:「難道你也想走嗎?不想接近我嗎?」

(活出聖言)

時時找機會感謝,讓感恩滋潤你的心田。

(全心祈禱)

生活的天主聖言,感謝祢每天對我說話,讓我分享祢的生命。

4月24日   完成使命 
我們若把自己的生命當成是一宗使命,就能知道我們是從一個家被派遣出來的,將來也要回去。我們就會認為自己是從遠方來的一群人,有資訊要傳遞,有工作要做,而且是有時間性的。當傳完資訊、工作結束,我們會想回家,報告我們的任務,卸下辛勞的擔子。 
很重要的一項屬靈操練,就是讓自己知道,生命是前往“執行任務”的生命 ~ 盧雲神父
