神父講道 – 聖誕慶期第六日 (週三) (2016年12月30日)

恭讀聖路加福音 2:36-40

有一位女先知亞納,是阿協爾支派法奴耳的女兒,已上了年紀。她出閣後,與丈夫同居了七年,以後就守寡,直到八十四歲。她齋戒祈禱,晝夜事奉天主,總不離開聖殿。正在那時刻,她也前來稱讚天主,並向一切希望耶路撒冷得救贖的人,講論嬰孩耶穌。
耶穌的父母他們按著上主的法律,行完了一切,便返回了加里肋亞,他們的本城納匝肋。孩子漸漸長大而強壯,充滿智慧,天主的恩寵常在他身上。

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 2:36-40

36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phan’u-el, of the tribe of Asher; she was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years from her virginity, 37 and as a widow till she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. 39 And when they had performed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. 40 And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.

恭讀聖路加福音 2:22-35

按梅瑟的法律,一滿了他們取潔的日期,瑪利亞和若瑟抱便帶著孩子上耶路撒冷去獻給上主,就如上主的法律上所記載的:「凡開始首生的男性,應祝聖於上主。」並該照上主法律上所吩咐的,獻上祭物:一對斑鳩或兩隻雛鴿。那時,在耶路撒冷有一個人,名叫西默盎。這人正義虔誠,期待著以色列的安慰,而且聖神也在他身上。他曾蒙聖神啟示:自己在未看見上主的受傅者以前,決見不到死亡。他因聖神的感動,進了聖殿;那時,抱著嬰孩耶穌的父母正進來,要按著法律的慣例為他行禮。西默盎就雙臂接過他來,讚美天主說:「主啊!現在可照你的話,放你的僕人平安去了!因為我親眼看見了你的救援,即你在萬民之前早預備好的:為作啟示異邦的光明,你百姓以色列的榮耀。」
他的父親和母親就驚異他關於耶穌所說的這些話。西默盎祝福了他們,又向他的母親瑪利亞說:「看,這孩子已被立定,為使以色列中許多人跌倒和復起,並成為反對的記號——至於你,要有一把利劍刺透你的心靈——為叫許多人心中的思念顯露出來。」

—上主的話。

(5th Day in the Octave of Christmas)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 2:22-35

22 And when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”) 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 And inspired by the Spirit he came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 29 “Lord, now let your servant depart in peace, according to your word; 30 for my eyes have seen your salvation 31 which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” 33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him; 34 and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against 35 (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.”

神父講道 – 諸聖嬰孩 (慶日) (週一) (2016年12月28日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 2:13-18

賢士們離去後,看,上主的天使托夢顯於若瑟說:「起來,帶著嬰孩和他的母親逃往埃及去,住在那裏,直到我再通知你,因為黑落德即將尋找這嬰孩,要把他殺掉。」若瑟便起來,星夜帶了嬰孩和他的母親,退避到埃及去了。留在那裏,直到黑落德死去。這就應驗了上主藉先知所說的話:「我從埃及召回了我的兒子。」
那時,黑落德見自己受了賢士們的愚弄,就大發忿怒,依照他由賢士們所探得的時期,差人將白冷及其周圍境內所有兩歲及兩歲以下的嬰兒殺死,於是應驗了耶肋米亞先知所說的話:「在辣瑪聽到了聲音,痛哭哀號不止;辣黑耳痛哭她的子女,不願受人的安慰,因為他們不在了。」

—上主的話。

(Feast of the Holy Innocents, martyrs)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 2:13-18

13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” 14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, 15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.” 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: 18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more.”

主日講道 – 聖家節 (慶日) (2015年12月27日)

恭讀聖路加福音 2:41-52

每年逾越節,耶穌的父母必往耶路撒冷去。耶穌到了十二歲,他們又照節日的慣例上去了。過完了節日,他們回去的時候,孩童耶穌卻留在耶路撒冷;他的父母並未發覺。他們只以為他在同行的人中間;走了一天的路程後,才在親戚和相識的人中尋找他。既找不著,便折回耶路撒冷找他。
過了三天,就在聖殿裡找到了耶穌。他正坐在經師中,聆聽他們,也詢問他們。凡聽見他的人,對他的智慧和對答,都驚奇不止。他的父母一看見他,便大為驚異。
耶穌的母親就向耶穌說:「孩子,你為什麼這樣對待我們?看,你的父親和我,一直痛苦的找你。」
耶穌對他們說:「你們為什麼找我?你們不知道:我必須在我父親那裡嗎?」
但是,他們不明白耶穌對他們所說的話。
耶穌就同他們下去,來到納匝肋,屬他們管轄。他的母親把這一切默存在心中。
耶穌在智慧和身量上,並在天主和人的恩愛上,漸漸增長。

—上主的話。

(3rd Day in the Octave of Christmas – The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 2:41-52

41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom; 43 and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44 but supposing him to be in the company they went a day’s journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances; 45 and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions; 47 and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously.” 49 And he said to them, “How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” 50 And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man.

聖斯德望 (首位殉道) (慶日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 10:17-22

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「你們要提防世人,因為他們要把你們交給公議會,要在他們的會堂裏鞭打你們;並且你們要為我的緣故,被帶到總督和君王前,對他們和外那人作證。當人把你們交出時,你們不要思慮:怎麼說,或說什麼,因為在那時刻,自會賜給你們應說什麼。因為說話的不是你們,而是你們父的聖神在你們內說話。兄弟要將兄弟,父親要將兒子置於死地,兒女也要起來反對父母,要將他們害死。你們為了我的名字,要為眾人所惱恨;唯獨堅持到底的,才可得救。」

(Feast of Saint Stephen, first martyr)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 10:17-22

17 Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues, 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles. 19 When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; 22 and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

神父講道 – 耶穌聖誕節 (節日) 當日感恩祭 (週五) (2015年12月25日)

恭讀聖若望福音 1:1-18

在起初已有聖言,聖言與天主同在,聖言就是天主。
聖言在起初,就與天主同在。萬物是藉著他而造成的;凡受造的,沒有一樣不是由他而造成的。
在他內有生命,這生命是人的光。光在黑暗中照耀,黑暗決勝不過他。
曾有一人,是由天主派遣來的,名叫若翰。這人來,是為作證,為給光作證,為使眾人藉他而信。他不是那光,只是為給那光作證。
那照亮每人的真光,正在進入這世界;他已在世界上,世界原是藉他造成的;但世界卻不認識他。他來到了自己的地方,自己的人卻沒有接受他。
但是,凡接受他的,他給他們,即給那些信他名字的人權能,好成為天主的子女。他們不是由精血,也不是由肉慾,也不是由男慾,而是由天主生的。
於是,聖言成了血肉,寄居在我們中間;我們見了他的光榮,正如父獨生者的光榮,滿溢恩寵和真理。
若翰為他作證,呼喊說:「這就是我所說的:那在我以後來的,成了在我以前的,因他原先我而有。」
從他的滿盈中,我們都領受了恩寵,而且恩寵上加恩寵。因為法律是藉梅瑟傳授的,恩寵和真理卻是由耶穌基督而來的。
從來沒有人見過天主,只有那在父懷裡的獨生者,身為天主的,他給我們詳述了。

—上主的話。

(The Nativity of the Lord – Christmas)

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

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God; 3 all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light. 9 The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. 11 He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. 12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. 15 (John bore witness to him, and cried, “This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'”) 16 And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace.17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

那時凱撒奧古斯都,出了一道上諭,叫天下的人都要登記:這是季黎諾作敘利亞總督時,初次行的登記。於是,眾人各去本城登記。
若瑟因為是達味家族的人,也從加里肋亞納匝肋城,上猶大名叫白冷的達味城去,好同自己已懷孕的聘妻瑪利亞去登記。
他們在那裡的時候,瑪利亞分娩的日期滿了,便生了她的頭胎男兒,用襁褓裹起,放在馬槽裡,因為在客棧中,為他們沒有地方。
在那地區,有些牧羊人露宿守夜,看守羊群。有上主的一位天使,站在他們身邊;上主的榮光,照射著他們;他們便非常害怕。天使向他們說:「不要害怕!看!我給你們報告一個為全民族的大喜訊:今天在達味城中,為你們誕生了一位救世者;他是主默西亞。這是給你們的記號:你們將要看見一個嬰兒,裹著襁褓,躺在馬槽裡。」忽然有一大隊天軍,同那天使一起,讚頌天主說:
「天主在天受光榮,主愛的人在世享平安!」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 2:1-14

1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city.4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. 7 And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
8 And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; 11 for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!”

若翰的父親匝加利亞充滿了聖神,遂預言說:「上主,以色列的天主應受讚美,因他眷顧救贖了自己的民族,並在自己的僕人達味家中,為我們興起了大能的救主。正如他藉歷代諸聖先知的口所說過的,拯救我們脫離敵人和仇恨我們者的手。他向我們的祖先施行仁慈,記憶起他自己的神聖盟約,就是他向我們的祖先亞巴郎所宣述的誓詞,恩賜我們從敵人手中被救出以後,無怨無懼,一生一世在他的面前,以聖善和正義事奉他。至於你,小孩,你要稱為至高者的先知,因你要走在上主前面,為他預備道路,為使他的百姓認識救恩,以獲得他們罪惡的寬宥:這是出於我們天主的慈懷,使旭日由高天向我們照耀,為光照那坐在黑暗和死影中的人,並引我們的腳步,走向和平的道路。」

57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son. 58 And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. 59 And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechariah after his father, 60 but his mother said, “Not so; he shall be called John.” 61 And they said to her, “None of your kindred is called by this name.” 62 And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he would have him called. 63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” And they all marveled. 64 And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. 65 And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea; 66 and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
