常年期第二十四主日 玫瑰經:榮福五端(The Mysteries of the Rosary: Glorious Mysteries)

讀經一(我將我的背,轉給打擊我的人。)

恭讀依撒意亞先知書 50:5-9

我主上主開啟了我的耳朵,我並沒有違抗,也沒有退避。我將我的背,轉給打擊我的人;把我的腮,轉給扯我鬍鬚的人;對於侮辱和唾污,我沒有遮掩我的面。

因為,我主上主協助我,因此,我不怕蒙羞;所以,我板著臉,像一塊燧石,因為我知道:我決不會受辱。那為我伸冤者,已來到了。誰要和我爭辯,讓我們一齊站起來吧!誰是我的對頭,叫他到我這裡來吧!請看!有我主上主扶助我,誰還能定我的罪呢?——上主的話。

答唱詠 詠116:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9

【答】:我要在活人的地域,在上主面前行走。(詠116:9)

或「亞肋路亞」

領:我傾心愛慕上主,因他俯聽了我的祈禱;在我呼籲他的那日,他側耳垂聽了我。【答】

領:死亡的圈套,纏住了我;陰府的羅網,縛住了我;艱苦和煩惱,困住了我。我呼求了上主的聖名:「上主,求你拯救我的性命。」【答】

領:上主富於憐憫和正義;我們的天主仁愛無比。上主保護誠樸的人;我軟弱時,他必救助。【答】

領:因為他救拔了我的靈魂,脫免死亡,使我不再流淚,又使我不致跌傷;我要在活人的地域,在上主面前行走。【答】

讀經二(沒有行為的信德,是死的。)

恭讀聖雅各伯書 2:14-18

我的弟兄姊妹們:

如果有人說自己有信德,卻沒有行為,有什麼益處呢?難道這信德能救他嗎?假設有弟兄或姊妹,赤身露體,且缺少日用糧,即使你們當中,有人對他們說:「你們平安去吧!穿得暖暖的,吃得飽飽的!」卻不給他們身體所必需的,有什麼益處呢?

信德也是這樣:若沒有行為,本身便是死的。

也許有人說:你有信德,我卻有行為;把你沒有行為的信德,指給我看,我便會藉我的行為,叫你看見我的信德。——上主的話。

福音前歡呼

領:亞肋路亞。

眾:亞肋路亞。

領:我只以我們的主耶穌基督的十字架,來誇耀,因為藉著基督,世界於我,已被釘在十字架上了;我於世界,也被釘在十字架上了。(迦6:14)

眾:亞肋路亞。

福音(你是默西亞……人子必須受許多苦。)

恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 8:27-35

那時候,耶穌和他的門徒起身,前往斐理伯的凱撒勒雅附近的村莊。在路上,耶穌問自己的門徒說:「人們說我是誰?」

他們回答說:「是洗者若翰;也有些人說,是厄里亞;還有些人說,是先知中的一位。」

耶穌又問他們說:「你們說我是誰呢?」

伯多祿回答說:「你是默西亞。」耶穌就嚴禁他們,不要向任何人談及他。

耶穌於是開始教訓門徒:人子必須受許多苦,被長老、司祭長和經師棄絕,且要被殺害;但三天以後,必要復活。

耶穌坦白地說了這番話。伯多祿便拉耶穌到一邊,開始諫責他。耶穌卻轉過身來,注視著自己的門徒,責斥伯多祿說:「撒旦,退到我後面去!因為你所體會的,不是天主的事,而是人的事。」

耶穌於是召集群眾和門徒,對他們說:「誰若願意跟隨我,該棄絕自己,背起自己的十字架,跟隨我,因為,誰若願意救自己的性命,必會喪失性命;但誰若為我和福音的原故,喪失自己的性命,必會救得性命。」——上主的話。

Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Sunday 12 September 2021

First reading Isaiah 50:5-9

The Lord has opened my ear. For my part, I made no resistance, neither did I turn away. I offered my back to those who struck me, my cheeks to those who tore at my beard; I did not cover my face against insult and spittle. The Lord comes to my help, so that I am untouched by the insults. So, too, I set my face like flint; I know I shall not be shamed. My vindicator is here at hand. Does anyone start proceedings against me? Then let us go to court together. Who thinks he has a case against me? Let him approach me. The Lord is coming to my help, who will dare to condemn me? Responsorial Psalm Psalm 114(116):1-6,8-9

I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living. I love the Lord for he has heard the cry of my appeal; for he turned his ear to me in the day when I called him.

I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living. They surrounded me, the snares of death, with the anguish of the tomb; they caught me, sorrow and distress. I called on the Lord’s name. O Lord, my God, deliver me!

I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living. How gracious is the Lord, and just; our God has compassion. The Lord protects the simple hearts; I was helpless so he saved me.

I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living. He has kept my soul from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling.

I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.

I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.

Second reading James 2:14-18

Take the case, my brothers, of someone who has never done a single good act but claims that he has faith. Will that faith save him? If one of the brothers or one of the sisters is in need of clothes and has not enough food to live on, and one of you says to them, ‘I wish you well; keep yourself warm and eat plenty’, without giving them these bare necessities of life, then what good is that? Faith is like that: if good works do not go with it, it is quite dead. This is the way to talk to people of that kind: ‘You say you have faith and I have good deeds; I will prove to you that I have faith by showing you my good deeds – now you prove to me that you have faith without any good deeds to show.’

Gospel Acclamation Jn14:6

Alleluia, alleluia! I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, says the Lord; No one can come to the Father except through me. Alleluia!

Gospel Mark 8:27-35

Jesus and his disciples left for the villages round Caesarea Philippi. On the way he put this question to his disciples, ‘Who do people say I am?’ And they told him. ‘John the Baptist,’ they said ‘others Elijah; others again, one of the prophets.’ ‘But you,’ he asked ‘who do you say I am?’ Peter spoke up and said to him, ‘You are the Christ.’ And he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone about him. And he began to teach them that the Son of Man was destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to rise again; and he said all this quite openly. Then, taking him aside, Peter started to remonstrate with him. But, turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said to him, ‘Get behind me, Satan! Because the way you think is not God’s way but man’s.’ He called the people and his disciples to him and said, ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. For anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.’ Gospel of the Lord

9月12聖人 福女維多利亞福諾利斯大(Bl. Victoria Fornari-Strata)熱那亞藍色女修會會祖

https://www.facebook.com/BonfireWorld/posts/3154528708103218

一五六二年,福女維多利亞生於意大利熱那亞。十七歲時,嫁安日洛斯大為妻。婚後生活很愉快,丈夫協助她辦理各項慈善事業。結婚九年,生有四子二女。一五八七年,安日洛去世,維多利亞暗想兒女均在稚齡,自己沒有能力撫養他們成人,心裡很擔憂。有一天,聖母顯現給她,安慰她道:「我兒,你一心依靠我好了。我一定會照顧你們母子。你平安地過日子,一點不要擔憂。我只要求你一件事:一心依靠我,愛天主在萬有之上。」

維多利亞就發了守貞的願,熱心恭敬天主,撫養子女,幫助窮人。同時她勤操苦行,每逢守齋的日子,僅吃麵包清水。

子女成人,均能自立以後,維多亞利向總主教提出計劃書,準備創建一座女修院,特別恭敬聖母瑪利亞。最初,主教因基金無法募集,不敢驟然予以批准。後來院舍和經費都有了著落,建院的計劃,正式獲得主教批准,著手進行。

一六O四年,維多利亞和其他十位修女加入了這個新修會;第二年矢發聖願。加入這個新修會的修女,應以特別敬禮和個人生活恭敬聖母領報的奧蹟,以及聖母在納匝肋的隱居生活。每位修女應在自己的名字前加「領報聖母」四字。修會的會規非常嚴格。

一六一二年,維多利亞又創建了第二座修院。不久,新修會的事業擴展至法國。

會務雖然很發達,若干人主張這修會應與其他修會合作。維多利亞知悉此事,很是擔憂。聖母顯現給她,保証大力護佑修會,囑她放心好了。果然,合併的計劃不久就打消了。

維多利亞繼續治理會務多年,鼓勵修女多作補贖善功,並給她們樹立謙遜、愛主的表樣。

維多利亞於一六一七年十二月十五日去世,享壽五十五歲。但她的瞻禮日期定為今天。

由於福女創設的女修會和聖若望華洛創設的聖母領報女修會名字相同,人們往往稱福女的女修會為「藍色」女修會,因為修女穿的會衣是天藍色的。

09.12 (日) 成熟的門徒 常年期第廿四主日 馬爾谷福音八27-35

聆聽聖言

那時候,耶穌和祂的門徒起身,往斐理伯的凱撒勒雅附近的村莊去;在路上問自己的門徒說:「人們說我是誰?」他們回答說:「是洗者若翰;也有些人說是厄里亞;還有些人說是先知中的一位。」
耶穌又問他們說:「你們說我是誰?」
伯多祿回答說:「祢是默西亞。」
耶穌就嚴禁他們,不要向任何人談到祂。
耶穌便開始教訓他們:人子必須受許多苦,被長老、司祭長和經師棄絕,且要被殺害;但三天以後必要復活。耶穌明明說了這話。伯多祿便拉祂到一邊,開始諫責祂。耶穌卻轉過身來,注視著自己的門徒,責斥伯多祿說:「撒殫,退到我後面去!因為你所體會的,不是天主的事,而是人的事。」
祂遂召集群眾和門徒來,對他們說:「誰若願意跟隨我,該棄絕自己,背著自己的十字架,跟隨我,因為誰若願意救自己的性命,必要喪失性命;但誰若為我和福音的緣故,喪失自己的性命,必要救得性命。」

釋經小幫手

你可曾想過耶穌對你來説是誰?你爲什麽要跟隨耶穌?你希望從祂那裏得到什麽?在今天的福音中,耶穌問門徒們:「你們說我是誰?」祂希望祂的門徒好好思考這個問題。福音中伯多祿對耶穌說:「祢是默西亞。」的確,耶穌是默西亞,但是祂卻不是伯多祿所期待的默西亞。伯多祿跟隨耶穌兩年多,見到耶穌的權威、力量、神跡,這是伯多祿所想像的默西亞,或許祂想要跟隨的是厲害的默西亞,因爲他除了可以沾點耶穌的光榮,也能在生活中找到意義、方向和安全感。但是,耶穌今天要讓伯多祿明白,祂的使命不是要成爲世上另一位成功、受歡迎的領導者,而是要承行天主的旨意,爲了顯示天父真正的憐憫和正義,為此祂將被猶太人領袖迫害致死。知道這是耶穌的命運,門徒們還願意跟隨祂嗎?今天耶穌也要告訴我們,身爲基督徒我們雖然擁有祂的關愛和照顧,但祂不會免除我們生命中必須面對的困難、痛苦和責任。如果是這樣,我們還願意跟隨祂嗎?伯多祿當下因爲不明白這道理,被耶穌嚴厲責斥,稱他為「撒殫!」,因爲跟隨耶穌卻不願意背負十字架是一個危險的錯覺,會妨礙耶穌救世計劃的實現。耶穌今天邀請我們棄絕膽怯和自私的想法,背起自己的十字架跟隨祂。你願意嗎?

品嚐聖言

默想你跟隨耶穌要棄絕的是哪些想法?背起的是哪些十字架?

活出聖言

今天當你遇到困難想要逃避時,意識到耶穌會陪你一起背負十字架。

全心祈禱

主,請幫我面對十字架的苦和侮辱,成爲祢成熟的門徒。阿們。
