神父講道 – 常年期第三十三週 (週三) (2019年11月20日)

恭讀聖路加福音 19:11-28

當眾人聽耶穌講話的時候,耶穌因為已臨近耶路撒冷,而且他們都以為天主的國快要出現,遂設了一個比喻說:「有一個貴人起身到遠方去,為取得了王位再回來。他將自己的十個僕人叫來,交給他們十個「米納」(銀幣),並囑咐說:你們拿去做生意,直到我回來。他本國的人一向懷恨他,遂在他後面派代表去說:我們不願意這人為王統治我們。這貴人得了王位歸來以後,便傳召那些領了他錢的僕人,想知道每個人做生意賺了多少。第一個前來說:主!你的那個「米納」(銀幣)賺了十個「米納」(銀幣)。主人對他說:好,善僕!你既然在小事上忠信,你要有權掌管十座城。第二個前來說:主!你的那個「米納」(銀幣)賺了五個「米納」(銀幣)。主人也對這人說:你也要掌管五座城。另一個前來說:主!看,你那個「米納」(銀幣),我收存在手巾裏。我一向害怕你,因為你是一個嚴厲的人:你沒有存放的,也要提取;沒有下種的,也要收割。主人向他說:惡僕!我就憑你的口供定你的罪。你不是知道我是個嚴厲的人,沒有存放的,也要提取;沒有下種的,也要收割的嗎?為什麼你不把我的錢存於錢莊,待我回來時,我可以連本帶利取出來。主人便向侍立左右的人說:你們把他那個「米納」(銀幣)奪過來,給那有十個的。他們向他說:主!他已有十個「米納」(銀幣)了。我告訴你們:凡是有的,還要給他;那沒有的,連他所有的,也要從他奪去。至於那些敵對我,不願意我作他們君王的人,你們把他們押到這裏,在我面前殺掉。」
耶穌說了這些話,就領頭前行,上耶路撒冷去。

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 19:11-28

While people were listening to Jesus speak, he proceeded to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the Kingdom of God would appear there immediately. So he said, “A nobleman went off to a distant country to obtain the kingship for himself and then to return. He called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins and told them, ‘Engage in trade with these until I return.’ His fellow citizens, however, despised him and sent a delegation after him to announce, ‘We do not want this man to be our king.’ But when he returned after obtaining the kingship, he had the servants called, to whom he had given the money, to learn what they had gained by trading. The first came forward and said, ‘Sir, your gold coin has earned ten additional ones.’ He replied, ‘Well done, good servant! You have been faithful in this very small matter; take charge of ten cities.’ Then the second came and reported, ‘Your gold coin, sir, has earned five more.’ And to this servant too he said, ‘You, take charge of five cities.’ Then the other servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your gold coin; I kept it stored away in a handkerchief, for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding man; you take up what you did not lay down and you harvest what you did not plant.’ He said to him, ‘With your own words I shall condemn you, you wicked servant. You knew I was a demanding man, taking up what I did not lay down and harvesting what I did not plant; why did you not put my money in a bank? Then on my eturn I would have collected it with interest.’ And to those standing by he said, ‘Take the gold coin from him and give it to the servant who has ten.’ But they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten gold coins.’ He replied, ‘I tell you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even hat he has will be taken away. Now as for those enemies of mine who did not want me as their king, bring them here and slay them before me.'”
After he had said this, he proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem.

Homily - 7:15am at Holy Cross Church

追思彌撒 – 聖母軍已亡會員(2019年11月19日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 25:31-46

那時候,耶穌對門徒說:「當人子在自己的光榮中,與眾天使一同降來時,那時,他要坐在光榮的寶座上;一切民族,都要聚在他面前。他要把他們彼此分開,如同牧人分開綿羊和山羊一樣:把綿羊放在自己的右邊,山羊在左邊。
「那時,君王要對那些在他右邊的說:我父所祝福的,你們來吧!承受自創世以來,給你們預備了的國度吧!因為我餓了,你們給了我吃的;我渴了,你們給了我喝的;我作客,你們收留了我;我赤身露體,你們給了我穿的;我患病,你們看顧了我;我在監裡,你們來探望過我。
「那時,義人回答君王說:主啊!我們什麼時候見過你飢餓,而供養了你,或口渴,而給了你喝的?我們什麼時候見了你作客,而收留了你,或赤身露體,而給了你穿的?我們什麼時候見你患病,或在監裡,而來探望過你?
「君王便回答他們說:我實在告訴你們:凡你們對我這些最小兄弟中的一個所做的,就是對我做的。
「然後,君王又對那些在左邊的說:可咒罵的,離開我,到那給魔鬼和他的使者預備的永火裡去吧!因為我餓了,你們沒有給我吃的;我渴了,你們沒有給我喝的;我作客,你們沒有收留我;我赤身露體,你們沒有給我穿的;我患病或在監裡,你們沒有來探望我。
「那時,他們也要回答說:主啊!我們幾時見了你飢餓,或口渴,或作客,或赤身露體,或有病,或坐監,而我們沒有給你效勞?
「那時,君王回答他們說:我實在告訴你們:凡你們沒有給這些最小兄弟中的一個做的,就是沒有給我做。
「這些人要進入永罰,而那些義人,卻要進入永生。」

Memorial Mass for the Deceased Members of Legion of Mary (November 19, 2019)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 25:31-46

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’ And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’ Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’ Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’ He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’ And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
