神父講道 – 復活期第三週 (週四) (2010年4月22日)

恭讀聖若望福音 6:44-51
那時候,耶穌對群眾說:「凡不是派遣我的父所吸引的人,誰也不能到我這裏來,而我在末日要叫他復活。在先知書上記載:『眾人都要蒙天主的訓誨。』凡由父聽教而學習的,必到我這裏來。這不是說有人看見過父,只有那從天主來的,才看見過父。我實實在在告訴你們:信從的人,必得永生。我是生命的食糧。你們的祖先在曠野中吃過『瑪納』,卻死了;這是從天上降下來的食糧,誰吃了,就不死。我是從天上降下的生活的食糧;誰若吃了這食糧,必要生活直到永遠。我所要賜給的食糧,就是我的肉,是為世界的生命而賜給的。」
—基督的福音。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 6:44-51

44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.’ Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. 46 Not that any one has seen the Father except him who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.

司鐸年每日默想 (4月22日)

生活更美好!

我們應該給予的生活見證不僅是個人重生的經驗,而更應該是團體性的聖三共融的動力的經驗,如同教會(是獲救和重生的人類群體)所呈現的,使那些千千萬萬還沒有認識啟示之光的人也能夠說:“果真如此,基督徒的生活更美好,更滿意,更賞心悅目,也比我們的生活更有創意”。

在此,特別值得一提的是宗徒大事錄的作者——路加和狄奧尼多信函的作者。因為在致狄奧尼多的信中這樣寫道,基督徒的生活,雖然呈現在現世,卻特別而真實的彰顯出他們之間的精神國度。
