神父講道 – 教會之母 (紀念) (星期一) (2022年6月6日)

恭讀聖若望福音 19:25-34

那時候,在耶穌的十字架旁,站著他的母親和他母親的姊妹,還有克羅帕的妻子瑪利亞和瑪利亞瑪達肋納。耶穌看見母親,又看見他所愛的門徒站在旁邊,就對母親說:「女人,看,你的兒子!」然後,又對那門徒說:「看,你的母親!」就從那時起,那門徒把她接到自己家裡。
此後,耶穌因知道一切事都完成了,為應驗經上的話,於是說:『我渴。』
有一個盛滿了醋的器皿,放在那裡,有人便將海綿浸滿了醋,綁在長槍上,送到他的口邊。耶穌一嘗了那醋,便說:「完成了。」就低下頭,交付了靈魂。
猶太人因那日子是預備日,免得安息日內──那安息日原是個大節日──屍首留在十字架上,就來請求比拉多,打斷他們的腿,把他們拿去。兵士於是前來,把第一個人的,並與耶穌同釘在十字架上的,第二個人的腿,打斷了。可是,及至來到耶穌面前,看見耶穌已經死了,就沒有打斷他的腿;但是,有一個士兵,用槍刺透了他的肋膀,立刻就流出了血和水。
—上主的話。

(10th Week in Ordinary Time – Monday – Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 19:25-34

Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.
Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately Blood and water flowed out.
—The Gospel of the Lord.
