神父講道 – 聖亞豐索 (主教、聖師) (紀念) (週四) (2019年8月1日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 5:13-19

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「你們是地上的鹽,鹽若失了味,可用什麼使它再鹹呢?它再毫無用途,只好拋在外邊,任人踐踏罷了,你們是世界的光;建在山上的城,是不能隱藏的。人點燈,並不是放在斗底下,而是放在燈台上,照耀屋中所有的人。照樣,你們的光也當在人前照耀,好使他們看見你們的善行,光榮你們在天之父。
「你們不要以為我來是廢除法律或先知;我來不是為廢除,而是為成全。我實實在在告訴你們:即使天地過去了,一撇或一畫也決不會從法律上過去,必待一切完成。所以,誰若廢除這些誡命中最小的一條,也這樣教訓人,在天國裏,他將稱為最小的;但誰若實行,也這樣教訓人,這人在天國裏將稱為大的。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 5:13-19

Jesus said to his disciple “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.
Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
