A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 2:13-22
13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; you shall not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for thy house will consume me.” 18 The Jews then said to him, “What sign have you to show us for doing this?” 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
“Dear children; Anew, in a motherly way, I am calling you to love; to continually pray for the gift of love; to love the Heavenly Father above everything. When you love Him you will love yourself and your neighbor. This cannot be separated. The Heavenly Father is in each person. He loves each person and calls each person by his name. Therefore, my children, through prayer hearken to the will of the Heavenly Father. Converse with Him. Have a personal relationship with the Father which will deepen even more your relationship as a community of my children – of my apostles. As a mother I desire that, through the love for the Heavenly Father, you may be raised above earthly vanities and may help others to gradually come to know and come closer to the Heavenly Father. My children, pray, pray, pray for the gift of love because ‘love’ is my Son. Pray for your shepherds that they may always have love for you as my Son had and showed by giving His life for your salvation. Thank you. ”

親愛的孩子們:
我以母親的心重新邀請你們去愛;請繼續為愛的恩賜而祈禱;愛你們的天父在萬有之上。當你們愛祂時,你們便會懂得自愛及愛你們的近人,二者是不能分開的。天父在你們每一個人心中,祂愛每一個人並能呼出各人的名字。因此,孩子們,藉著祈禱去聆聽天父的旨意,與祂傾訴,與天父建立密切的關係定能加深你們與我的團體內的孩子們 —— 我的使徒的關係。
作為母親,我渴望你們藉著天父的愛,能捨棄塵世的虛榮,能幫助別人漸漸地來認識天主並走近祂。
孩子們,祈禱,祈禱,祈求愛的恩賜,因為我的聖子就是愛。祈求你們的牧者能時常以愛待人,如同我的聖子為愛犧牲了自己的生命來拯救你們。感謝你們。
