六月十九日 常年期第十一周星期六 每日讀經 https://youtu.be/AkkYag14_cE

讀經一(我甘心情願誇耀我的軟弱。)

恭讀聖保祿宗徒致格林多人後書 12:1-10

弟兄們:誇耀固然無益,但若必須誇耀,我就來說說主的顯現和啟示。我知道有一個在基督內的人,十四年前,被提到三層天上去——或在身內,我不知道,或在身外,我也不知道,惟天主知道。我知道這人——或在身內,或在身外,我不知道,天主知道——他被提到樂園裏去,聽到了不可言傳的話,是人不能說出的。對這樣的人,我要誇耀;但為我自己,除了我的軟弱外,我沒有可誇耀的。其實,即使我願意誇耀,我也不算是狂妄,因為我說的是實話;但是,我絕口不談,免得有人估計我,超過了他在我身上所見到的,或由我所聽到的。免得我因那高超的啟示而過於高舉自己,故此有一根刺加在我身上,就是撒殫的使者來攻擊我,免得我過於高舉自己。關於這事,我曾三次求主使它脫離我;但主對我說:「有我的恩寵為你夠了,因為我的德能在軟弱中才全顯出來。」所以我甘心情願誇耀我的軟弱,好叫基督的德能常在我身上。為此,我為基督的緣故,喜歡在軟弱中、在凌辱中、在艱難中、在迫害中、在困苦中,因為我幾時軟弱,正是我有能力的時候。——上主的話。

答唱詠 詠34:8-9,10-11,12-13

【答】:請你們體驗,請你們觀看:上主是何等的和藹慈善!

領:在那敬畏上主的人四周,有上主的天使紮營護守。請你們體驗,請你們觀看:上主是何等的和藹慈善!投奔他的必獲真福永歡。【答】

領:上主的聖民,你們該敬畏上主,因敬畏他的人,不會受到窮苦。富貴的人竟成了赤貧,忍飢受餓;尋求上主的人,卻不缺任何福樂。【答】

領:孩子們,你們前來聽我指教,我要教你們敬畏上主之道。誰是愛好長久生活的人?誰是渴望長壽享福的人?【答】

福音前歡呼

領:亞肋路亞。

眾:亞肋路亞。

領:耶穌基督本是富有的,為了你們卻成了貧困的,好使你們因著他的貧困而成為富有的。

眾:亞肋路亞。

福音(你們不要為明天憂慮。)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 6:24-34

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「沒有人能事奉兩個主人:他或是要恨這一個而愛那一個,或是重視這一個而輕視那一個。你們不能事奉天主而又事奉錢財。為此,我告訴你們:不要為你們的生命憂慮吃什麼?或喝什麼;也不要為你們的身體憂慮穿什麼。難道生命不是貴於食物,身體不是貴於衣服嗎?你們仰觀天空的飛鳥,它們不播種,也不收穫,也不在糧倉裏屯積,你們的天父還是養活牠們;你們不比牠們更貴重嗎?你們中誰能運用思慮,使自己的壽命增加一肘呢?關於衣服,你們又憂慮什麼?你們觀察一下田間的百合花怎樣生長:它們既不勞作,也不紡織;可是我告訴你們:連撒羅滿在他極盛的榮華時代所披戴的,也不如這些花中的一朵。田地裏的野草今天還在,明天就投在爐中,天主尚且這樣裝飾,信德薄弱的人哪!何況你們呢?所以,你們不要憂慮說:我們吃什麼?喝什麼?穿什麼?因為這一切都是外邦人所尋求的;你們的天父原曉得你們需要這一切。你們先該尋求天主的國和它的義德,這一切自會加給你們。所以你們不要為明天憂慮,因為明天有明天的憂慮:一天的苦足夠一天受的了。」——上主的話。

釋義

今日的福音繼續昨天的內容,耶穌教導門徒,「不能事奉天主而又事奉錢財」(24),同時講述關於「天空的飛鳥」和「田間的百合花」的話語(25-34)。

「不能事奉天主而又事奉錢財」的教導,顯示錢財有可能變成偶像。這個教導在今天仍和耶穌說話當時一樣是清楚的真理。不論是天主或錢財,都願意佔有全部的人;只不過方式不同罷了:錢財使人成為它的奴隸;天主卻使人自由,而且使人能夠正確地使用錢財。

25-34節的內容同樣是談論人的自由與真正的義德:「天空的飛鳥」和「田間的百合花」都教導耶穌的門徒脫離無謂的擔憂,而渴望「天主的國和它的義德」(33)。能夠認出這個真理的人,必須是眼睛健康的人

Saturday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time Saturday 19 June 2021

First reading 2 Corinthians 12:1-10

'My power is at its best in weakness' Must I go on boasting, though there is nothing to be gained by it? But I will move on to the visions and revelations I have had from the Lord. I know a man in Christ who, fourteen years ago, was caught up – whether still in the body or out of the body, I do not know; God knows – right into the third heaven. I do know, however, that this same person – whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know; God knows – was caught up into paradise and heard things which must not and cannot be put into human language. I will boast about a man like that, but not about anything of my own except my weaknesses. If I should decide to boast, I should not be made to look foolish, because I should only be speaking the truth; but I am not going to, in case anyone should begin to think I am better than he can actually see and hear me to be. In view of the extraordinary nature of these revelations, to stop me from getting too proud I was given a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan to beat me and stop me from getting too proud! About this thing, I have pleaded with the Lord three times for it to leave me, but he has said, ‘My grace is enough for you: my power is at its best in weakness.’ So I shall be very happy to make my weaknesses my special boast so that the power of Christ may stay over me, and that is why I am quite content with my weaknesses, and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and the agonies I go through for Christ’s sake. For it is when I am weak that I am strong.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 33(34):8-13

Taste and see that the Lord is good. The angel of the Lord is encamped around those who revere him, to rescue them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. He is happy who seeks refuge in him.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Revere the Lord, you his saints. They lack nothing, those who revere him. Strong lions suffer want and go hungry but those who seek the Lord lack no blessing.

Taste and see that the Lord is good. Come, children, and hear me that I may teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is he who longs for life and many days, to enjoy his prosperity?

Taste and see that the Lord is good.

Gospel Acclamation Mt4:4

Alleluia, alleluia! Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Alleluia! Or:

2Co8:9

Alleluia, alleluia! Jesus Christ was rich, but he became poor for your sake, to make you rich out of his poverty. Alleluia!

Gospel Matthew 6:24-34

Do not worry about tomorrow: your holy Father knows your needs Jesus said to his disciples: ‘No one can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or treat the first with respect and the second with scorn. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money. ‘That is why I am telling you not to worry about your life and what you are to eat, nor about your body and how you are to clothe it. Surely life means more than food, and the body more than clothing! Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or reap or gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they are? Can any of you, for all his worrying, add one single cubit to his span of life? And why worry about clothing? Think of the flowers growing in the fields; they never have to work or spin; yet I assure you that not even Solomon in all his regalia was robed like one of these. Now if that is how God clothes the grass in the field which is there today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, will he not much more look after you, you men of little faith? So do not worry; do not say, “What are we to eat? What are we to drink? How are we to be clothed?” It is the pagans who set their hearts on all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. Set your hearts on his kingdom first, and on his righteousness, and all these other things will be given you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’

6月19日聖人 聖熱爾瓦削、聖博羅大削(SS. Gervase and Protase)殉道 https://www.facebook.com/BonfireWorld/posts/3089708641251892

聖熱爾瓦削和聖博羅大削兩位兄弟的遺骸,由於上主的啟示,在三八六年六月十九日被聖盎博羅削尋獲。

關於他們生平的事蹟,以及遭難的情形,因歷史上沒有確切的記載,已經無法查考。

依據古老的傳說,熱爾瓦削和博羅大削是米蘭人,父母也為主捨生命而成了殉道的聖人。因為他們踴躍地公然從事天主教愛德的工作,被人告發,逮捕入獄,慘遭殺害。

兩人的聖屍由聖盎博羅削尋獲時,顯行神蹟甚多。一個失明的屠夫,觸了覆蓋聖屍的殮布,立即恢復視力。其他神蹟甚多,不能一一列舉。

教友對兩位聖人的敬禮非常踴躍,所以當天主教擬訂聖人立品禱文時,將他們的名字列入。

6.19(六)依靠天主 聖樂牧院長 瑪竇福音六24-34
(聆聽聖言)
—————————

那時候,耶穌對門徒們說:「沒有人能事奉兩個主人:他或是要恨這一個,而愛那一個,或是依附這一個而輕忽那一個。你們不能事奉天主而又事奉錢財。為此,我告訴你們:不要為你們的生命憂慮吃什麼,或喝什麼;也不要為你們的身體憂慮穿什麼。難道生命不是貴於食物,身體不是貴於衣服嗎?你們仰觀天空的飛鳥,牠們不播種,也不收穫,也不在糧倉裏屯積,你們的天父還是養活牠們;你們不比牠們更貴重嗎?你們中誰能運用思慮,使自己的壽數增加一肘呢?關於衣服,你們又憂慮什麼?你們觀察一下田間的百合花怎樣生長:它們既不勞作,也不紡織;可是我告訴你們:連撒羅滿在他極盛的榮華時代所披戴的,也不如這些花中的一朵。田裏的野草今天還在,明天就投在爐中,天主尚且這樣裝飾,信德薄弱的人哪,何況你們呢?所以,你們不要憂慮說:我們吃什麼,喝什麼,穿什麼?因為這一切都是外邦人所尋求的;你們的天父原曉得你們需要這一切。你們先該尋求天主的國和它的義德,這一切自會加給你們。所以你們不要為明天憂慮,因為明天有明天的憂慮:一天的苦足夠一天受的了。」

(釋經小幫手)

你今早醒來時,想到的第一件事是什麽?它怎麽影響了你的心情,以及面對一整天的動力?

其實,我們人心中常常都掛著很多焦慮和不安,這些事可能與我們所愛的人有關、可能牽涉到對我們重要的事件、也可能包含對未來的不確定感。一般人遇到這些事情,就會試圖想去控制它,把這些人事物緊緊的握在自己手中,按照自己的期待和方式處理。但今天的福音卻告訴我們:「不要爲你們的生命憂慮吃什麽,或喝什麽;也不要為你們的身體憂慮穿什麼。難道生命不是貴於食物,身體不是貴於衣服嗎?」天主邀請我們在生活中的大小事情上都依靠他。

那麼,什麽叫「依靠」呢?

雖然天空的飛鳥不播種也不收穫,但它們需要飛翔以便看到天主為他們準備的蟲兒。雖然百合花不勞作,也不紡織,但它們也需要生長,以便美化草地。

「依靠」不是守株待兔,什麽都不做,希望有奇蹟發生。天主邀請我們依靠祂是要我們與祂一起合作,在日常生活中「尋求天主的國和它的義德」。

因此,面對生活中大小事,我們雖然心裏還有擔心,但我們還是繼續的努力學習、工作、愛人,天主自然會爲我們準備所需要的日用糧,因爲祂原曉得我們需要這一切,也會加給我們的。當我們能夠區分我們的需要和想要時,我們會發現我們的擔心也會减少了,因爲實際上我們已擁有了所需要的東西、需要的恩寵。


(品嚐聖言)

默想自己把生命中的擔憂放在天主的手中,等待祂帶領你去面對。

(活出聖言)

把你擔憂的事情寫下。哪些你能付出努力爭取?哪些得交給天主?

(全心祈禱)

主,請給我信德的眼光,在日常生活中看到祢爲我提供所需要的。阿們。

6月19日   聖神的果實 
天主的神如何藉著我們彰顯?我們常以為作見證是替天主辯道。想到這一點,我們就變得坐立不安,因為不知道何時何地,我們能以天主為談話主題,或是如何說服我們的家人、朋友、鄰舍、同事,讓他們知道天主也在他們的生命中。這種明顯的宣道舉動,有時是出於我們沒有安全感的心,所以會引起分歧。 
天主的神最有力的彰顯是藉著聖神的果實:“仁愛、喜樂、平安、忍耐、仁慈、良善、忠誠、溫和及節制。”(迦5:22-23)這些果實不言自明。因此,與其問:“我如何使別人相信聖神?”還不如問:“我如何在靈裡成長?~盧雲神父
