玫瑰經: 歡喜五端 ( The Mysteries of the Rosary: The Joyful Mysteries)

讀經一(既然猶太人的失足使世界與天主和好,那麼他們的回頭歸正也就是從死者中復活。)

恭讀聖保祿宗徒致羅馬人書 11:1-2,11-12,25-29

弟兄們:莫非天主擯棄了自己的人民嗎?斷然不是!我自己就是個以色列人,出於亞巴郎的後裔,本雅明支派。天主並沒有擯棄他所預選的人民。

那麼,我再問:他們失足,是要他們永久跌倒嗎?絕對不是!而是藉著他們的過犯,使救恩臨到外邦人,為刺激他們發憤。如果因他們的過犯,世界得以致富,因他們的墮落,外邦人得以致富;如果他們全體回頭歸正,更將怎樣呢?

弟兄們!免得你們自作聰明,我不願意你們不知道這項奧秘的事,就是一部分以色列人是執迷不悟的,直到外邦人全數進入天國為止:那時,全以色列也必獲救,正如經上所載:「拯救者必要來自熙雍,從雅各伯中消除不敬之罪;這是我與他們所定立的盟約:那時我要赦免他們的罪惡。」照福音來說,他們由於你們的緣故,成了天主的仇人;但照召選來說,由於他們祖先的緣故,他們仍是可愛的,因為天主的恩賜和召選是決不會撤回的。——上主的話。

答唱詠 詠94:12-13,14-15,17-18

【答】:上主不拒絕自己的百姓。

領:上主,那些受你教訓,守你法律的人,是有福的,你叫他們在患難時獲享安寧。【答】

領:上主不拒絕自己的百姓,上主不遺棄自己的人民。原來公理必歸正義的人士,心地正直的人必追求公理。【答】

領:若不是上主扶助我,我的靈魂已歸冥所。我正在想:我快要失足跌倒。上主,你就以你的仁愛來扶持我。【答】

福音前歡呼

領:亞肋路亞。

眾:亞肋路亞。

領:主說:「你們背起我的軛,跟我學吧!因為我是良善心謙的。」

眾:亞肋路亞。

福音(凡自高自大的,必被貶抑;凡自謙自卑的,必被高舉。)

恭讀聖路加福音 14:1,7-11

在安息日,耶穌進了一個法利塞人首領的家中吃飯;他們就留心觀察他。

耶穌注意到被邀請的人,如何爭選首席,便對他們講了一個比喻說:「幾時你被人請去赴婚筵,不要坐在首席上,怕有比你更尊貴的客人也被請來,那請你而又請他的人要來向你說:請讓座給這個人!那時,你就要含羞地去坐末席了。你幾時被請,應去坐末座,等那請你的人走來對你說:朋友,請上坐吧!那時,在你同席的眾人面前,你才有光彩。因為凡高舉自己的,必被貶抑;凡貶抑自己的,必被高舉。」——上主的話。

釋義

耶穌在法利塞人家中作客所提出的這個教導,看起來是一個比較聰明的用餐入座原則:自己先選擇坐在下位,然後別人會來請你上座。但是這段教導的最後一個句子,才是完全瞭解這個規則的關鍵:最終把上座或末席分配給人的是天主!在末世天國的筵席中,誰自以為應該坐在首席,其實犯了最根本的錯誤:誤以為天主「必需」賞報他!天主賞賜並高舉貧窮人,也就是給那些知道他們所得到的一切都是白白得來的人。因此,這段福音所教導的並不是一般社交禮儀,而是人面對天主的根本態度。在最後晚餐中,耶穌自己親自顯示了這個隱藏在一般餐桌禮儀規則背後的真理:「我在你們中間像是服事人的」(路二二27)。

Saturday of the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 484 Saturday 30 October 2021

First reading Romans 11:1-2,11-12,25-29

Let me put a question: is it possible that God has rejected his people? Of course not. I, an Israelite, descended from Abraham through the tribe of Benjamin, could never agree that God had rejected his people, the people he chose specially long ago. Do you remember what scripture says of Elijah – how he complained to God about Israel’s behaviour? Let me put another question then: have the Jews fallen for ever, or have they just stumbled? Obviously they have not fallen for ever: their fall, though, has saved the pagans in a way the Jews may now well emulate. Think of the extent to which the world, the pagan world, has benefited from their fall and defection – then think how much more it will benefit from the conversion of them all. There is a hidden reason for all this, brothers, of which I do not want you to be ignorant, in case you think you know more than you do. One section of Israel has become blind, but this will last only until the whole pagan world has entered, and then after this the rest of Israel will be saved as well. As scripture says: The liberator will come from Zion, he will banish godlessness from Jacob. And this is the covenant I will make with them when I take their sins away. The Jews are enemies of God only with regard to the Good News, and enemies only for your sake; but as the chosen people, they are still loved by God, loved for the sake of their ancestors. God never takes back his gifts or revokes his choice.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 93(94):12-15,17-18

The Lord will not abandon his people. Happy the man whom you teach, O Lord, whom you train by means of your law; to him you give peace in evil days.

The Lord will not abandon his people.

The Lord will not abandon his people nor forsake those who are his own; for judgement shall again be just and all true hearts shall uphold it. The Lord will not abandon his people. If the Lord were not to help me, I would soon go down into the silence. When I think: ‘I have lost my foothold’; your mercy, Lord, holds me up.

The Lord will not abandon his people.

Gospel Acclamation cf.Col3:16a,17

Alleluia, alleluia! Let the message of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you; through him give thanks to God the Father. Alleluia!

Gospel Luke 14:1,7-11

Now on a sabbath day Jesus had gone for a meal to the house of one of the leading Pharisees; and they watched him closely. He then told the guests a parable, because he had noticed how they picked the places of honour. He said this, ‘When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take your seat in the place of honour. A more distinguished person than you may have been invited, and the person who invited you both may come and say, “Give up your place to this man.” And then, to your embarrassment, you would have to go and take the lowest place. No; when you are a guest, make your way to the lowest place and sit there, so that, when your host comes, he may say, “My friend, move up higher.” In that way, everyone with you at the table will see you honoured. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the man who humbles himself will be exalted.’

Gospel of the Lord

10.30 (六) 說耶穌的話 路加福音十四1,7-11

聆聽聖言

安息日,耶穌進了一個法利塞人首領的家中吃飯;他們就留心觀察祂。
耶穌注意到被邀請的人,如何爭選首席,便對他們講了一個比喻說:「幾時你被人請去赴婚筵,不要坐在首席上,怕有比你更尊貴的客也被他請來,那請你而又請他的人要來向你說:請讓座給這個人!那時,你就要含羞地去坐末席了。你幾時被請,應去坐末席,等那請你的人走來給你說:朋友,請上坐罷!那時,在你同席的眾人面前,你纔有光彩。
因為凡高舉自己的,必被貶抑;凡貶抑自己的,必被高舉。」

釋經小幫手

在今天的福音中,我們看到耶穌在法利塞人家吃飯,他們也留心觀察祂了。然而,耶穌並不是被動的接受他人的觀察,祂也在留意席上客人的行爲。可見,人在成長過程中,都學會去觀察他人,只是,我們觀察別人的目的卻不一定一樣。無論法利塞人觀察耶穌的目的是什麽,今天我們可以看到,耶穌留意他人是因爲祂關心人。當祂看到人們一些不好的行爲時,祂也能以充滿智慧且不傷害他人尊嚴的方式,帶領人們去反省,去渴望屬於天主的價值,去設想別的做事方式,試問,身爲父母、師長、牧者甚至是同儕朋友的我們,當我們看到孩子或朋友有不好的舉止行爲時,我們會如何處理呢?是嚴厲的指責、當面的羞辱嗎?是委婉的諷刺嗎?是假裝沒看到,反正不關你的事,也不需要搞砸關係?這和耶穌的作爲又有什麽不一樣呢?今天,耶穌用一個比喻試圖讓席間的客人做出自我反省。祂沒有指名道姓,就把一個場景擺設在聽著面前:誰是被「邀請者」、誰是「坐末席」、什麽是「上坐」、怎麽樣才能真正「有光彩」……等等。席間的人會被聖神帶領,認同比喻中某些人的行爲、情緒,也讓人去思考内心那沒説出來,卻又主導他們行爲的價值觀。若他們開放,他們就會把耶穌的話聽進去,也會渴望活出天主的價值觀。今天,聖言也能在人的生命中有同樣的力量。你願意學會說天主的話嗎?

品嚐聖言

「耶穌注意到被邀請的人。」試感受祂注意人時,對他們那深深的愛。

活出聖言

當我觀察他人的狀況時,要記得在這狀況中說耶穌會説的話。

全心祈禱

親愛的耶穌,讓我有充滿智慧的口舌,在各種狀況中說祢的話!阿們。
