神父講道 – 復活期第四週 (週三) (2010年4月28日)

聖伯鐸.尚耐司鐸殉道
恭讀聖若望福音 12:44-50
那時,耶穌呼喊說:「信我的,不是信我,而是信那派遣我來的;看見我的,也就是看見那派遣我來的。我身為光明,來到了世界上,使凡信我的,不留在黑暗中。無論誰若聽我的話而不遵行,我不審判他,因為我不是為審判世界而來,乃是為拯救世界。拒絕我,及不接受我話的,自有審判他的:就是我所說的話,要在末日審判他;因為我沒有憑我自己說話,而是派遣我來的父,他給我出了命,叫我該說什麼,該講什麼。我知道他的命令就是永生;所以,我所講論的,全是依照父對我所說的而講論的。」
—基督的福音。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 12:44-50

44 And Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And he who sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come as light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has bidden me.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.

司鐸年每日默想 (4月28日)

自由飛翔的人

我向你要求什麼呢?自由人!依照你的自由成為自由的司祭,不被一切所束縛,不依戀本性的父母,兄弟姐妹,親戚,也不依戀現世的友情;沒有財產,阻礙與憂慮,甚至不依戀自己的意願。

自由人!就是為愛而完全奉獻於你的人,是遵行你旨意的人,是翕合你心意的人。不因個人的計畫受到阻礙而背離你…… 就如新的達味以手中的十字架為牧棒,以玫瑰經為投石器。

自由人!如同升起的白雲和天空飽和的露水一樣,他們時刻準備著接受聖神的引導。……

自由人!時刻準備著為你服務。就如撒慕爾……時刻準備躍身而起,又如同宗徒們,時刻準備著協同你並為了你經歷忍受一切……

自由人!是你至聖母親瑪利亞的真實兒女,由她的愛所孕育,在她的懷中被擁抱,哺養,精心培育,和來自恩寵的支持與護佑……

當這份純正的愛的火焰傾降的時候,你應在整個大地點燃什麼呢?
