聖納爵(依納爵)主教殉道
恭讀聖路加福音 18:1-8
那時候,耶穌對門徒講了一個比喻,關於人應當時常祈禱,不要灰心。他說:「某城有一個法官,不敬畏天主,也不尊重人。有一個寡婦常去求他說:『請你為我主持正義,對付欺凌我的人。』法官總不理會,後來想到:『我雖然不敬畏天主,也不尊重人,但是這個寡婦常來麻煩我,我還是給她伸冤,免得她不斷糾纏我。』」於是主說:「你們看,這個不義的法官說了什麼!那麼,天主聽到他所召選的人日夜呼求,豈能不更給他們伸冤嗎?他會延遲援助他們嗎?我告訴你們:他一定儘快地為他們伸冤。但是人子來臨時,還能在世上找到這種信德嗎?」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 18:1-8

1 And he told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man; 3 and there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, `Vindicate me against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, `Though I neither fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will vindicate her, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.'” 6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7 And will not God vindicate his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
