神父講道 – 四旬期第二週 (週二) (2013年2月26日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 23:1-12

那時,耶穌對民眾和他的門徒講論說:「經師和法利塞人坐在梅瑟的講座上:凡他們對你們所說的,你們要行要守;但不要照他們的行為去做,因為他們只說不做。他們把沉重而難以負荷的擔子捆好,放在人的肩上,自己卻不肯用一個指頭動一下。他們所做的一切工作都是為叫人看;為此,他們把經匣放寬,衣繸加長;他們又喜愛筵席上的首位,會堂中的上座;喜愛人在街市上向他們致敬,尊稱他們為『辣彼』。至於你們,卻不要被稱為『辣彼』,因為你們的師傅只有一位,你們眾人都是兄弟;也不要在地上稱人為你們的父,因為你們的父只有一位﹐就是天上的父。你們也不要被稱為導師,因為你們的導師只有一位,就是默西亞。你們中那最大的,該作你們的僕役。凡高舉自己的,必被貶抑;凡貶抑自己的,必被高舉。」

—上主的話。

(2nd Week of Lent – Tuesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 23:1-12

1 Then said Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; 3 so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice. 4 They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, 7 and salutations in the market places, and being called rabbi by men. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. 9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ. 11 He who is greatest among you shall be your servant; 12 whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
