神父講道 – 將臨期 十二月二十二日 (週四) (2016年12月22日)

恭讀聖路加福音 1:46-56

瑪利亞遂說:「我的靈魂頌揚上主,我的心神歡躍於天主,我的救主,因為他垂顧了他婢女的卑微;今後萬世萬代都要稱我有福;因為全能在我身上行了大事,他的名字是聖的,他的仁慈世世代代於無窮世,賜與敬畏他的人。他伸出了手臂施展大能,驅散那些心高氣傲的人。他從高座上推下權勢者,卻舉揚了卑微貧困的人。他曾使饑餓者飽饗美物,反使那富有者空手而去。他曾回憶起自己的仁慈,扶助了他的僕人以色列;正如他向我們的祖先所說過的恩許,施恩於亞巴郎和他的子孫,直到永遠。」瑪利亞同依撒伯爾住了三個月左右,就回本家去了。

—上主的話。

(4th Week of Advent – Thursday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:46-56

Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. for he has looked upon his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever.”
Mary remained with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her home.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
