聖保祿宗徒歸化 (宗徒) (慶日)

恭讀聖馬爾谷福音　16:15-18

那時候，耶穌顯現給宗徒，對他們說：「你們往普天下去，向一切受造物宣傳福音，信而受洗的必要得救；但不信的必被判罪。信的人必有這些奇蹟隨著他們：因我的名驅逐魔鬼，說新語言，手拿毒蛇，甚或喝了什麼致死的毒物，也決不受害；按手在病人身上，可使人痊愈。」

—上主的話。

(Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul, Apostle)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 16:15-18

15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.

神父講道 – 聖方濟各沙雷氏 (主教、聖師) (紀念) (週四) (2013年1月24日)

聖方濟各沙雷氏 (主教、聖師) (紀念)

恭讀聖馬爾谷福音　3:7-12

那時，耶穌同自己的門徒退到海邊去，有許多民眾從加里肋亞跟隨了來，並有從猶太、耶路撒冷、依杜默雅、約旦河彼岸、提洛和漆東一帶地方的許多群眾，聽說他所作的一切事，都來到他跟前。因為人多，他遂吩咐他的門徒，為自己備好一隻小船，免得人擁擠他。因為他治好了許多人，所以，凡有病災的人都向他湧來，要觸摸他。邪魔一見了他，就俯伏在他面前喊說：「你是天主子。」他卻嚴厲責斥他們，不許把他顯露出來。

—上主的話。

(2nd Week in Ordinary Time – Thursday)

(Memorial of Saint Francis de Sales, Bishop and Doctor of the Church)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 3:7-12

7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed; also from Judea 8 and Jerusalem and Idume’a and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude, hearing all that he did, came to him. 9 And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they should crush him; 10 for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him. 11 And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” 12 And he strictly ordered them not to make him known.

—The Gospel of the Lord.

一言為定

by | Jan 24, 2013 | Word Forever

「我的爵你們固然要飲，但坐在右邊或左邊，不是我可以給的，而是我父給誰預備了，就給誰。」(瑪20:23)
『杯爵』一詞，是古東方民族在日常生活及祭禮上所常用的器皿。富貴的人有自己專用的貴重杯爵。窮苦人家則共用一杯。最後晚餐時，耶穌與門徒便是共用一杯。聖保祿稱之為『祝福之杯』(格前10:16)
耶穌向雅各伯和若望兩兄弟指出，他們將要喝的杯爵便是聖保祿所稱的『祝福之杯』。這『祝福之杯』將代表耶穌所流出的寶血。他們兩兄弟都願意喝耶穌的苦杯。事實上，雅各伯在公元43年便為主殉難。若望是唯一一位沒有受到殉道之苦的宗徒，因為他要照顧聖母瑪利亞。
在那時，這兩兄弟還是以俗世的眼光去看待耶穌將要建立的王國。左丞右相便是他們的理想。耶穌也沒有強烈的指正他們，只是輕描淡寫的說：「我父給誰預備了，就給誰。」說到底，這兩位門徒是深愛著耶穌的。
故此，在最後晚餐的時候，耶穌沒有讓若望失望，且邀請他坐在自己的右邊。耶穌對人的憐愛是那樣偉大！
若我們願意坐在耶穌的右邊或左邊，最好的方法便是善待身邊的近人，如同接待基督那般，因為耶穌曾保證：幾時我們對這些最小兄弟中的一個所做，便是對耶穌而做。(參閱瑪25:31-46)
