聖十字若望 (司鐸、聖師) (紀念)
恭讀聖瑪竇福音 21:28-32
「你們以為怎樣?一個人有兩個兒子,他走到第一個兒子跟前,說:『孩子,你今天到葡萄園中去工作吧!』他回答說:『我不願意。』但後來懊悔了,去了。這人又走到第二個跟前,說了同樣的話。他回答說:『主,一定去!』但他未去。兩人中,哪一個遵行了父親的旨意呢?」他們說:「前一個。」耶穌說:「我切實告訴你們,稅吏和娼妓都要比你們先進天國。因為若翰遵循正義的道路,來到你們中間,你們不信他;稅吏和娼妓倒相信他;你們見了後,仍不悔悟去相信他。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 21:28-32
28 “What do you think? A man had two sons; and he went to the first and said, `Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ 29 And he answered, `I will not’; but afterward he repented and went. 30 And he went to the second and said the same; and he answered, `I go, sir,’ but did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him; and even when you saw it, you did not afterward repent and believe him.

最近一齣電視片集中的主角「劉三好」和以前收視率極高的日本片集的「亞信」同樣都是教人做人的道理。「亞信」無怨無悔的承受逆境,「劉三好」則要說好話,做好事,存好心﹗
「說好話,做好事,存好心﹗」就正如神父所講的不以自我為中心,而是只著眼於別人有否為
我所說的話而感到難受,有否因我所做的事情而受到傷害;或我不求己益,只是以「愛」去接待每事每物。
「人在做,天在看﹗」一切十字架都是天主所容許而放在人的肩膊上,以衡量祂所愛的如何對祂堅貞,並且我們如何在日常生活中回應祂的邀請﹗
主耶穌﹗在祢內沒有不可能的。祈求賜予一顆皈依的心,以準備迎接祢的到來﹗
