神父講道 – 常年期第十六週 (週五) (2018年7月27日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 13:18-23

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「那麼,你們聽這撒種者的比喻吧!聽天國的話而不了解的,那惡者就來把撒在他心裏的奪去:這是指那撒在路旁的。那撒在石頭地裏的,即是指人聽了天國的話,立刻高興接受;但在心裏沒有根,不能持久,一旦為這話遭遇艱難或迫害,就立刻跌倒了。那撒在荊棘中的,即是指人聽了天國的話,卻有世俗的焦慮和財富的迷惑,把話蒙住了,結不出果實。那撒在好地裏的,即是指那些聽了天國的話而了解的人,他當然結出果實,有結一百倍的,有結六十倍的,有結三十倍的。」

—上主的話。

(16th Week in Ordinary Time – Friday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 13:18-23

Jesus said to his disciples: “Hear the parable of the sower. The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the Kingdom without understanding it, and the Evil One comes and steals away what was sown in his heart. The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away. The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
