主日講道 – 常年期第十八主日 (2016年7月31日)

恭讀聖路加福音 12:13-21

那時候,人群中有一個人,向耶穌說:「師父,請吩咐我的兄弟,與我分家吧!」
耶穌對他說:「人哪,誰派我做你們的判官,為你們分家呢?」
於是,耶穌對群眾說:「你們要謹慎,躲避一切貪婪,因為一個人縱然富裕,他的生命並不在於他的資產。」
耶穌對群眾講了一個比喻,說:「有一個富翁,他的田地出產豐富。他心裡想:我可怎麼辦呢?因為我已沒有地方,收藏我的物產。於是,他說:我要這樣做:我要拆毀我的倉庫,另建更大的,這樣就能夠收藏我的一切穀物和財產了。然後,我要對我的靈魂說:靈魂哪!你存有大量財物,足夠多年之用,你休息吧!吃喝宴樂吧!
「天主卻對他說:糊塗人哪!今夜就要收回你的靈魂,你所儲備的,將歸誰呢?
「那些只為自己累積財產,而不在天主前致富的人,也是如此。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 12:13-21

13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me.” 14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or divider over you?” 15 And he said to them, “Take heed, and beware of all covetousness; for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 16 And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; 17 and he thought to himself, `What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, `I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.’ 20 But God said to him, `Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
