玫瑰經: 苦難五端( The Mysteries of the Rosary: Sorrowful Mysteries)

讀經一（我看見一位相似人子者，乘著天上的雲彩降來。）

恭讀達尼爾先知書　7:2-14

我，達尼爾說道：我夜間見了一個異象：看見天上忽然起了四股巨風，震盪了大海，遂有四種巨獸從海中出來，各有不同的形狀。第一個相似獅子，具有鷹的翅膀；我觀看，直至見它的翅膀被拔去，由地上被舉起來，兩腳直立像一個人，且給了它一顆人心。我又看見另一個獸，就是第二個，相似熊，半身側立，口內牙齒間銜著三根肋骨；有人吩咐他說：「起來，大量吞食肉吧！」後來我又觀看，看見另有一獸，相似豹子，有四個頭，背上有四隻鳥的翅膀，且賜給了它統治權。此後，我在夜間的神視中觀看，看見第四個獸，非常可怕，極其兇猛，有巨大的鐵牙，吞噬咬碎，又把剩餘的用腳踐踏；它與以前各獸不同，尚有十隻角。

我定睛注視這些角時，看見在那些角中又生出另一隻小角，在這小角前面，以前的角中有三隻角竟被連根拔除；看，小角上還有眼睛，相似人的眼睛，有一個誇大的口。

我觀望，直到安置了寶座，上面坐著一位萬古常存者，他的衣服潔白如雪，他的頭髮潔白如羊毛，他的寶座好似火燄，寶座的輪子如同烈火。一道火河湧出，從他面前流下，有千萬服侍他的，有億兆侍立在他面前的，審判者已坐堂，案卷已展開。那時，我因那隻角說出誇大的話而注意觀望，一直觀望到那獸被殺，它的屍體被撕毀，被投入火內。其餘的獸，它們的統治權被剝奪；它們的壽命，也被注定，直到某一個時限。

我仍在夜間的神視中觀望：看見一位相似人子者，乘著天上的雲彩而來，走向萬古常存者，遂即被引到他面前。他便賜給似人子者統治權、尊榮和國度，各民族、各邦國及各語言的人民都要侍奉他；他的王權是永遠的王權，永存不替；他的國度永不滅亡。——上主的話。

福音（當你們看見這些事情發生，就應知道天主的國近了。）

恭讀聖路加福音　21:29-33

耶穌給自己的門徒講了一個比喻：「你們看看無花果樹及各種樹木，幾時你們看見它們已經發芽，就知道：夏天已經近了。同樣，幾時你們看見這些事發生了，也應知道：天主的國近了。我實在告訴你們：非等一切事發生了，這一代決不會過去。天地要過去，但是，我的話決不會過去。」——上主的話。

反省

無花果樹發芽的比喻，是回應當初門徒的提問耶穌：「師傅！那麼，什麼時候要發生這些事？這些事要發生的時候，將有什麼先兆？」（路21:7）當時門徒只針對聖殿被毀的預言，而耶穌卻連末世祂再回來前的預兆也一併說了。

以色列有大量的長青樹，所以冬天無花果樹的禿枝很顯眼。無花果樹到晚春四月才發芽長葉，所以人們一看見無花果樹發芽，「就知道：夏天已經近了」。同樣，末世的先兆也是清晰可見的，門徒應分辨清楚，免得輕易為假基督、假先知所迷惑。

耶穌慎重而斬釘截鐵地告訴門徒，「非等一切事發生了，這一代決不會過去。」但是，即使天地要廢去，祂的話卻要永遠長存。這是說天主的話比天地更加堅定、恆久，可惜人常迷信「天長地久」，卻不相信天主的話。

實踐

耶穌要求我們留心觀察這個世界，要看看耶穌所說的事是否逐漸成就。一個等候天主再來的人必會留心觀察；又說，當看見這些事逐漸成就時，也該知道天主的國近了。因此，一個等候天主再來的人，不僅會看，而且也會明白和領悟，天主的國果然近了。耶穌的預告，正是為了提醒我們不要鬆懈，要常常為天主的國來臨而懇切祈禱，並且耐心等候。

Friday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 507 Friday 26 November 2021

First reading Daniel 7:2-14

I, Daniel, have been seeing visions in the night. I saw that the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea; four great beasts emerged from the sea, each different from the other. The first was like a lion with eagle’s wings; and as I looked its wings were torn off, and it was lifted from the ground and set standing on its feet like a man; and it was given a human heart. The second beast I saw was different, like a bear, raised up on one of its sides, with three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth. “Up!” came the command “Eat quantities of flesh!” After this I looked, and saw another beast, like a leopard, and with four bird’s wings on its flanks; it had four heads, and power was given to it. Next I saw another vision in the visions of the night: I saw a fourth beast, fearful, terrifying, very strong; it had great iron teeth, and it ate, crushed and trampled underfoot what remained. It was different from the previous beasts and had ten horns. While I was looking at these horns, I saw another horn sprouting among them, a little one; three of the original horns were pulled out by the roots to make way for it; and in this horn I saw eyes like human eyes, and a mouth that was full of boasts. As I watched: Thrones were set in place and one of great age took his seat. His robe was white as snow, the hair of his head as pure as wool. His throne was a blaze of flames, its wheels were a burning fire. A stream of fire poured out, issuing from his presence. A thousand thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. A court was held and the books were opened. The great things the horn was saying were still ringing in my ears, and as I watched, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and committed to the flames. The other beasts were deprived of their power, but received a lease of life for a season and a time. I gazed into the visions of the night. And I saw, coming on the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man. He came to the one of great age and was led into his presence. On him was conferred sovereignty, glory and kingship, and men of all peoples, nations and languages became his servants. His sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty which shall never pass away, nor will his empire ever be destroyed.

Responsorial Psalm Daniel 3:75-81

Mountains and hills! bless the Lord.

Give glory and eternal praise to him! Every thing that grows on the earth! bless the Lord.

Give glory and eternal praise to him! Springs of water! bless the Lord.

Give glory and eternal praise to him! Seas and rivers! bless the Lord.

Give glory and eternal praise to him! Sea beasts and everything that lives in water! bless the Lord.

Give glory and eternal praise to him! Birds of heaven! all bless the Lord.

Give glory and eternal praise to him! Animals wild and tame! all bless the Lord.

Give glory and eternal praise to him!

Gospel Acclamation Lk21:28

Alleluia, alleluia! Stand erect, hold your heads high, because your liberation is near at hand. Alleluia!

Gospel Luke 21:29-33

Jesus told his disciples a parable: ‘Think of the fig tree and indeed every tree. As soon as you see them bud, you know that summer is now near. So with you when you see these things happening: know that the kingdom of God is near. I tell you solemnly, before this generation has passed away all will have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.’ Gospel of the Lord

11.26 (五) 發展的希望 路加福音廿一29-33

聆聽聖言

那時候，耶穌又給他們設了一個比喻：「你們看看無花果樹及各種樹木，幾時，你們看見它們已經發芽，就知道：夏天已經近了。同樣，幾時你們看見這些事發生了，也應知道天主的國近了。我實在告訴你們：非等一切事發生了，這一代絕不會過去。天地要過去，但是，我的話決不會過去。」

釋經小幫手

你是否有留意時代的記號，並且學習以耶穌的眼光去詮釋它？在今天的福音中，耶穌用很簡單的自然現象，教導我們學習要留意，並學會詮釋時代的記號—「看看無花果樹和各種樹木」，其實這一句話對一些人已經是個挑戰了。很多人把頭埋在自己的電腦、手機、工作、煩惱、問題、以及自己所追逐的理想中，卻忘了抬起頭看看大自然，看看周圍的人、甚至是普世教會正在發生什麽事。天主每天都邀請我們和祂更大的救贖計劃連結，如果我們只限制在自己的小世界中，也難怪我們的生活會變得狹隘、沒有目標，容易無聊。再來，耶穌說：「你們看見它們已經發芽」冬天以後樹木剛發幾根芽，你看到的是匱乏，還是希望呢？然而耶穌對此聲明：「夏天已經近了。」在這兩者間，耶穌選擇看到希望。你呢？在我們生活中，可能也有不少「樹」，如：自己的人格發展、孩子的培育、家庭的共同目標、堂區發展的計劃……等等。雖然不斷地在進行，但卻沒有結出讓人羡慕的果實。這時，耶穌邀請我們用充滿希望的眼睛去看：就算最後成品還沒出現，你是否能認出天主在你自己和他人生命中的作爲呢？耶穌說：「我的話決不會過去」，耶穌已經把天國許諾給我們，即便它還是個現在進行式。你願意走出自己去鼓勵、關心他人並分享天主的愛，把希望化爲現實，讓天國更快、更具體的到來嗎？

品嚐聖言

看看無花果樹，幾時，你們看見它們已經發芽，就知道：夏天已經近了

活出聖言

試著在身邊所發生的事上發現新希望、來自天主的新生命跡象。

全心祈禱

主，感謝祢教我不要總是看到事情的不足，而是在其中看到發展的希望。

11月26日   傷痕成為榮耀的記號 
耶穌的復活是我們相信肉身復活的基礎。我們常聽見有人主張，身體是靈魂的毒藥，聖神的生命是脫離這肉身牢獄的途徑。我們以相信肉身復活宣告：屬靈的生命與肉體的生命不可分割。正如保祿所說：“我們的身體就是聖神的宮殿（參格前6：19），所以是神聖的。身體復活意即我們活過的肉身不會無用，而要被提與主永遠同在。正如基督復活的身體有祂受苦的標記，我們復活的身體也會帶著我們受苦的標記。復活時，我們的傷痕將要成為榮耀的記號。~盧雲神父
