聖安當 (院長) (紀念)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 19:16-26

那時候,有一個人來到耶穌跟前說:「師傅!我該行什麼『善』,為得永生?」耶穌對他說:「你為什麼問我關於『善』?善的只有一個。如果你願意進入生命,就該遵守誡命。」他對耶穌說:「什麼誡命?」耶穌說:「就是:不可殺人,不可奸淫,不可偷盜,不可作假見證;應孝敬父母,應愛你的近人,如愛你自己。」那少年人對耶穌說:「這一切我都遵守了,還缺少什麼?」耶穌對他說:「你若願意是成全的,去!變賣你所有的,施捨給窮人,你必有寶藏在天上;然後來跟隨我。」少年人一聽這話,就憂悶的走了,因為他擁有許多產業。
於是,耶穌對門徒說:「我實在告訴你們:富人難進天國。我再告訴你們:駱駝穿過針孔,比富人進天國還容易。」門徒們聽了,就非常驚異說:「這樣,誰還能得救呢?」耶穌注視他們說:「為人這是不可能的;但為天主,一切都是可能的。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 19:16-26

Now someone approached him and said, “Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?” He answered him, “Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” He asked him, “Which ones?” And Jesus replied, “ ‘You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother’; and ‘you shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” The young man said to him, “All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”

神父講道 – 常年期第一週 (週四) (2020年1月16日)

恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 1:40-45

那時候,有一個癩病人來到耶穌跟前,跪下求他說:「你若願意,就能潔淨我。」耶穌動了憐憫的心,就伸手撫摸他,向他說:「我願意,你潔淨了吧!」癩病立時脫離了他,他就潔淨了。然後,耶穌嚴厲警告他,立即催他走,並向他說:「當心!什麼也不可告訴人,但去叫司祭檢驗你,並為你的潔淨,奉獻梅瑟所規定的,給他們當作證據。」但那人一出去,便開始極力宣揚,把這事傳揚開了,以致耶穌不能再公然進城,只好留在外邊荒野的地方;但人們卻從各處到他跟前來。

(1st Week in Ordinary Time – Thursday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 1:40-45

A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched the leper, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.” The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once. Then he said to him, “See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.” The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.
