神父講道 – 四旬期第二週 (週三) (2017年3月15日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 20:17-28

耶穌上耶路撒冷去的時候,暗暗把十二個門徒帶到一邊,在路上對他們說:「看,我們上耶路撒冷去,人子要被交於司祭和經師,他們要定他的死罪;並且要把他交給外邦人戲弄、鞭打、釘死;但第三天,他要復活。」
那時,載伯德兒子的母親,同自己的兒子前來,叩拜耶穌,請求他一件事。耶穌對她說:「你要什麼?」她回答說:「你叫我的這兩個兒子,在你王國內,一個坐在你的右邊,一個坐在你的左邊。」耶穌回答說:「你們不知道你們所求的是什麼,你們能飲我將要飲的爵嗎?」他們說:「我們能。」耶穌對他們說:「我的爵你們固然要飲;但坐在右邊或左邊,不是我可以給的,而是我父給誰預備了,就給誰。」那十個聽了,就惱怒他們兩兄弟。
耶穌叫過他們來說:「你們知道:外邦人有首長主宰他們,有大臣管轄他們。但在你們中卻不可這樣;誰若願意在你們中成為大的,就當作你們的僕役;誰若願意在你們中為首,就當作你們的奴僕。就如人子來不是受服侍,而是服侍人,並交出自己的生命,為大眾作贖價。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 20:17-28

As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve disciples aside by themselves, and said to them on the way, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.”
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something. He said to her, “What do you wish?” She answered him, “Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your kingdom.” Jesus said in reply, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?” They said to him, “We can.” He replied, “My chalice you will indeed drink, but to sit at my right and at my left, this is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” When the ten heard this, they became indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus summoned them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.

神父講道 – 四旬期第二週 (週二) (2017年3月14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

Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them. All their works are performed to be seen. They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation ‘Rabbi.’ As for you, do not be called ‘Rabbi.’ You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers. Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven. Do not be called ‘Master’; you have but one master, the Christ. The greatest among you must be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
