主受洗節(慶日) 

讀經一(上主的光榮要顯示出來,凡有血肉的都會看見。)

恭讀依撒意亞先知書 40:1-5,9-11

「你們安慰,安慰我的百姓吧!」你們的天主說。你們應向耶路撒冷說知心的話,並向她宣告:她的苦役已期滿,她的罪債已清償,因為她為了自己的一切罪過,已由上主手中,承受了雙倍的懲罰。

有一個呼聲喊說:「你們要在曠野,預備上主的道路,在荒野,為我們的天主修平一條大路!一切深谷要填滿;一切山陵要剷平;隆起的要削為平地;崎嶇的要闢成坦途!上主的光榮要顯示出來;凡有血肉的,都會看見:這是上主親口說的。」

給熙雍傳喜訊的啊!請登上高山!給耶路撒冷報喜訊的啊!請大聲疾呼!高呼吧!不要畏懼!向猶大各城報告說:你們的天主來了!吾主上主帶著威能來到;他的手臂獲得了勝利;他的勝利品與他同在;他獲得的酬勞在他面前。

他必如牧羊人,牧放自己的羊群,以自己的手臂集合小羊,把牠們抱在自己的懷中;溫良地帶領哺乳的母羊。——上主的話。

答唱詠 詠104:1-2, 3-4, 24-25, 27-28, 29-30

【答】:我的靈魂,請頌讚上主!(詠104:1)

領:上主、我的天主,你偉大無比;你以尊威作衣冠;你身披光明,好像披上外氅;你展開蒼天,有如帳棚。【答】

領:你在水上建築你的宮殿;你造了雲彩,作你的戰車。你以風為翼,向前飛馳;你發出暴風,作你的使者;你以火燄,作你的隨員。【答】

領:上主,你的化工,何其繁浩,全是你以智慧所創辦;你創造的萬物,充滿大地。看,汪洋大海,一望無際;其中水族,不可數計;大小生物,浮游不息。【答】

領:一切生物,都仰望你,希望你按時給牠們飲食。你賜下食物,牠們便會收集;你張開雙手,牠們便得飽飫。【答】

領:你若隱藏你的面容,牠們便驚惶失措;你若停止牠們的呼吸,牠們就要死去,歸於原來的灰土。你一噓氣,萬物化生;你使大地,更新復興。【答】

讀經二(耶穌藉著聖神所施行的重生和更新的洗禮,救了我們。)

恭讀聖保祿宗徒致弟鐸書 2:11-14; 3:4-7

親愛的:

天主拯救眾人的恩寵已經出現,教導我們棄絕不虔敬的生活,和世俗的貪慾;而要有節制地、公正地、虔敬地在今世生活,期待所希望的幸福,和我們偉大的天主及救主耶穌基督光榮的顯現。他為我們捨棄了自己,是為救贖我們脫離一切罪惡,並洗淨我們,使我們能成為他的選民,叫我們熱心行善。

當我們救主天主的良善,和他對人的慈愛出現時,他救了我們,並不是由於我們本著義德所立的功勞,而是出於他的憐憫,藉著聖神所施行重生和更新的洗禮,救了我們。這聖神,是天主藉我們的救主耶穌基督,豐富地傾注在我們身上的,好使我們因他的恩寵成義,本著希望,成為永生的承繼人。——上主的話。

福音前歡呼

領:亞肋路亞。

眾:亞肋路亞。

領:若翰說:比我強的那一位要來;他要以聖神和火洗你們。(參閱路3:16)

眾:亞肋路亞。

福音(當耶穌受了洗,祈禱時,天開了。)

恭讀聖路加福音 3:15-16,21-22

那時,百姓都在期待【默西亞】,為此,人人心中推想:或許若翰就是默西亞。若翰便向眾人說:「我固然以水洗你們,但是,比我強的那一位要來,就是解他的鞋帶,我也不配。他要以聖神和火洗你們。」

眾百姓受洗後,耶穌也受了洗;當他祈禱時,天開了;聖神藉著一個形象,如同鴿子,降在他上邊;並有聲音從天上說:「你是我的愛子,我因你而喜悅。」——上主的話。

節日簡介

「耶穌受洗」、「加納婚宴」和「賢士來朝」原本都屬於主顯節慶祝的內涵,這個事實雖然在彌撒經文中並不明顯,但卻清楚地表現在「時辰祈禱」之中(參閱:主顯節第二晚禱謝主曲的對經)。在最近的禮儀革新之前,教會為隆重的慶祝主顯節,制訂「主顯八日慶期」(Octave),並在慶節的第八日慶祝耶穌受洗。禮儀革新後只保留了復活節和聖誕節的八日慶期,但也訂定主顯節後的主日為「耶穌受洗節」,並作為聖誕期的結束和常年期的開始。

綜合反省

這段簡短的耶穌受洗的敘述,完全不含耶穌的生活或者他個人所帶來的訊息,因此這並不是一個耶穌得到召叫的故事,而是路加採用當時文學形式所表達的「天主顯現」的事件。

耶穌受洗是一個歷史事件,路加採用舊約和猶太敘述故事的方式報導這個事件,並且提出他對這個事件的詮釋:耶穌是天主的愛子,在受洗的時候,以一個特殊的方式被天主聖神所充滿(參閱:宗十37)。透過這個敘述他告訴讀者們,教會對於耶穌的信仰是正確的:他從受洗的時候就以獨特的方式被聖神充滿,他是天主的僕人、天主所愛的兒子。

這個顯現故事所含有的真理,其最深的基礎是建立在耶穌整個生活上,復活的基督也啟示自己是「子」(參閱:迦一16、瑪十六17)。耶穌受洗的事件也因此成為初期教會洗禮的基礎和模範,基督徒在接受教會的洗禮時也同時領受了聖神,成為天父的子女。

09 January 2022 Catholic Mass Bible Reading https://youtu.be/SHm6V4NrH6k

First reading Isaiah 40:1-5,9-11

‘Console my people, console them’ says your God. ‘Speak to the heart of Jerusalem and call to her that her time of service is ended, that her sin is atoned for, that she has received from the hand of the Lord double punishment for all her crimes.’ A voice cries, ‘Prepare in the wilderness a way for the Lord. Make a straight highway for our God across the desert. Let every valley be filled in, every mountain and hill be laid low. Let every cliff become a plain, and the ridges a valley; then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all mankind shall see it; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’ Go up on a high mountain, joyful messenger to Zion. Shout with a loud voice, joyful messenger to Jerusalem. Shout without fear, say to the towns of Judah, ‘Here is your God.’ Here is the Lord coming with power, his arm subduing all things to him. The prize of his victory is with him, his trophies all go before him. He is like a shepherd feeding his flock, gathering lambs in his arms, holding them against his breast and leading to their rest the mother ewes. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 103(104):1-4,24-25,27-30

Bless the Lord, my soul! Lord God, how great you are. Lord God, how great you are, clothed in majesty and glory, wrapped in light as in a robe! You stretch out the heavens like a tent.

Bless the Lord, my soul! Lord God, how great you are. Above the rains you build your dwelling. You make the clouds your chariot, you walk on the wings of the wind, you make the winds your messengers and flashing fire your servant.

Bless the Lord, my soul! Lord God, how great you are. How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches. There is the sea, vast and wide, with its moving swarms past counting, living things great and small.

Bless the Lord, my soul! Lord God, how great you are. All of these look to you to give them their food in due season. You give it, they gather it up: you open your hand, they have their fill.

Bless the Lord, my soul! Lord God, how great you are. You hide your face, they are dismayed; you take back your spirit, they die. You send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the earth.

Bless the Lord, my soul! Lord God, how great you are.

Second reading Titus 2:11-14,3:4-7

God’s grace has been revealed, and it has made salvation possible for the whole human race and taught us that what we have to do is to give up everything that does not lead to God, and all our worldly ambitions; we must be self-restrained and live good and religious lives here in this present world, while we are waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the Appearing of the glory of our great God and saviour Christ Jesus. He sacrificed himself for us in order to set us free from all wickedness and to purify a people so that it could be his very own and would have no ambition except to do good. But when the kindness and love of God our saviour for mankind were revealed, it was not because he was concerned with any righteous actions we might have done ourselves; it was for no reason except his own compassion that he saved us, by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and by renewing us with the Holy Spirit which he has so generously poured over us through Jesus Christ our saviour. He did this so that we should be justified by his grace, to become heirs looking forward to inheriting eternal life.

Gospel Acclamation cf.Lk3:16

Alleluia, alleluia! Someone is coming, said John, someone greater than I. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Alleluia!

Gospel Luke 3:15-16,21-22

A feeling of expectancy had grown among the people, who were beginning to think that John might be the Christ, so John declared before them all, ‘I baptise you with water, but someone is coming, someone who is more powerful than I am, and I am not fit to undo the strap of his sandals; he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Now when all the people had been baptised and while Jesus after his own baptism was at prayer, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily shape, like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’

01.09 (日) 真正的喜樂 主受洗節(慶日) 路加福音三15-16,21-22

聆聽聖言

那時候,百姓都在期待(默西亞),為此,人人心中推想:或許若翰就是默西亞。若翰便向眾人說道:「我固然以水洗你們,但是比我強的一位要來,就是解祂的鞋帶,我也不配。祂要以聖神和火洗你們。」
眾百姓受洗後,耶穌也受了洗;當祂祈禱時,天開了;聖神藉著一個形像,如同鴿子,降在祂上邊;並有聲音從天上說:「祢是我的愛子,我因祢而喜悅。」

釋經小幫手

當時的以色列民族因爲被羅馬人壓制得很辛苦,所以非常渴望並積極等待默西亞的來臨,將他們從羅馬人的手中解放出來。在這樣的背景下,百姓們因看到若翰在宣講及施洗,就開始推想、認定他就是默西亞。那麽我們在自己的生活中也在等待或期待什麽嗎?是爭吵後能恢復和平、問題能夠得到解答、還是每天過得滿足、舒服、享受、歡樂?像以色列人,我們希望用最快、最簡單、最方便的方法來獲得我們所要的,儘管我們知道這個解決方案只是臨時的,不是長期或最佳解決方案。比如説,吵架後,有些人選擇以逃避的方式處理,假裝沒事並忽視問題,或以分心的方式尋找出口。換句話說,我們就像是抓住若翰,把他當成默西亞。還好若翰很清楚自己只是默西亞的前驅,不是默西亞,若翰也一而再的提醒百姓,耶穌是唯一可以救贖以色列民族的救主。耶穌雖然本身沒有罪,但祂卻願意和人一樣被若翰施洗,這説明耶穌願意和人類走同樣的路,瞭解我們所面對的一切問題、限度以及需要。耶穌的救贖不是把以色列人從羅馬人的壓制中解放出來,而是讓他們知道,無論到哪裏,即便是在最壞的狀況,天主都會選擇與他們同在。同樣的,耶穌今天也要救贖我們,無論我們身在何處,在經歷生命的任何過程,耶穌也都會與我們同行,帶給我們真正的平安、和平、喜樂。

品嚐聖言

默想天主告訴我們每一個人:「你是我的愛子,我因你而喜悅。」

活出聖言

當我們想用最快速的方法解決問題時,請留意這些方法是否真的有效。

全心祈禱

親愛的耶穌,感謝祢來到我們的世界與我們同行。

1月9日   踏過自己的傷痕 
有時,我們要“踏過”自己的憤怒、嫉妒、被棄絕的感受,繼續邁步向前。我們常情不自禁陷於消極情緒中,困坐愁城,無法脫身。漸漸地,我們就變成了“受害的”、“被遺忘的”、“被丟棄的”一群。沒錯,我們會膠著於這些消極的名分,甚至樂在其中。審視這些陰暗的感受、探索它們源自何處固然是好,但是總有一天,我們要路過這些情緒,將之置於身後,往前邁進。~盧雲神父
