神父講道 – 常年期第十七主日 (2019年7月28日)

恭讀聖路加福音 11:1-13

有一次,耶穌在一個地方祈禱;祈禱完了,他的一個門徒對他說:「主,請教給我們祈禱,如同若翰教給了他的門徒一樣。」
耶穌對他們說:「你們祈禱時,要說:父啊!願你名被尊為聖!願你的國來臨!我們的日用糧,求你天天賜給我們!寬恕我們的罪過,因為我們自己,也寬恕所有虧負我們的人;不要讓我們陷入誘惑。」
耶穌對他們說:「你們中,有人有一個朋友,半夜去他那裡,給他說:朋友,借給我三個餅吧!因為我的朋友,行路到了我這裡,我沒有什麼可以款待他。
「那人從裡面回答說:不要煩擾我了!門已經關上,我的孩子同我一起在床上,我不能起來,拿給你。
「我告訴你們:這人即使不是為了朋友的原故,而起來拿給他,也要因他厚著臉皮,一直請求,而起來,把他所需要的一切,拿給他。
「所以,我告訴你們:你們求,必要給你們;你們找,必要找到;你們敲,必要給你們開門。因為凡求的,就必得到;找的,就必找到;敲的,就必給他開門。
「你們中間那有做父親的,當兒子求餅時,反而給他石頭呢?或是求魚,反而將蛇當魚給他呢?或者求雞蛋,反而將蝎子給他呢?你們縱然不善,尚且知道把好的東西,拿給你們的兒女,何況在天之父,豈不更會將聖神,賜與求他的人嗎?」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 11:1-13

Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test.”
And he said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him,’ and he says in reply from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’ I tell you, if he does not get up to give the visitor the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence.
“And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
