神父講道 – 常年期第十五週 (星期二) (2022年7月12日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 11:20-24

那時,耶穌就開始譴責那曾看過他許多異能的城邑,因為他們沒有悔改。「苛辣匝因,你是有禍的!貝特賽達,你是有禍的!因為在你們那裏所行的異能,如果行在提洛和漆冬,她們早已身披苦衣,頭上撒灰做補贖了。但是我給你們說:在審判的日子,提洛和漆冬所受的懲罰也要比你們容易忍受。還有你,葛法翁!莫非你要高舉到天上嗎?將來你必下到陰府裏;因為在你那裏所行的異能,如果行在索多瑪,她必會存留到今天。但是我給你們說:在審判的日子,索多瑪地所受的懲罰也要比你們容易忍受。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 11:20-24

Jesus began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented. “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum:
Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.
For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.

神父講道 – 聖本篤院長 (紀念) (星期一) (2022年7月11日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 10:34-11:1

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「你們不要以為我來,是為把平安帶到地上;我來不是為帶平安,而是帶刀劍,因為我來,是為叫人脫離自己的父親,女兒脫離自己的母親,兒媳脫離自己的婆母;所以,人的仇敵,就是自己的家人。誰愛父親或母親超過我,不配是我的;誰愛兒子或女兒超過我,不配是我的。誰不背起自己的十字架跟隨我,不配是我的。誰獲得自己的性命,必要喪失性命;誰為我的緣故,喪失了自己的性命,必要獲得性命。誰接納你們,就是接納我;誰接納我,就是接納那派遣我來的。誰接納一位先知,因他是先知,將領受先知的賞報;誰接納一位義人,因他是義人,將領受義人的賞報。誰若只給這些小子中的一個,一杯涼水喝,因他是門徒,我實在告訴你們:這人決失不了他的賞報。」
耶穌囑咐完了他的十二門徒,就從那裏去了,為在他們的城裏施教宣講。」

—上主的話。

(Memorial of Saint Benedict, Abbot)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 10:34-11:1

Jesus said to his Apostles: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s enemies will be those of his household.
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man’s reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple–amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”
When Jesus finished giving these commands to his Twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.

—The Gospel of the Lord.

神父講道 – 常年期第十五主日 (2022年7月10日)

恭讀聖路加福音 10:25-37

那時候,有一個法學士起來,試探耶穌說:「師父,我應當做什麼,才能獲得永生?」
耶穌對他說:「法律上記載了什麼?你是怎樣讀的?」
他答說:「你應當全心、全靈、全力、全意愛上主、你的天主;並愛近人如你自己。」
耶穌向他說:「你答得對。你這樣做,必得生活。」
但是,那法學士為顯示自己有理,又對耶穌說:「誰是我的近人呢?」
耶穌回答說:「有一個人從耶路撒冷下來,到耶里哥去,遭遇了強盜;他們剝去他的衣服,把他打的半死,就丟下他走了。正巧,有一個司祭從那條路上下來,看了看他,便從旁邊走過。又有一個肋未人,也是一樣;他到了那裡,看了看,也從旁邊走過。
「但有一個撒瑪黎雅人,路過他那裡,一看見,就動了憐憫的心,於是上前,在他的傷處,注上油與酒,包紮好了,又扶他騎上自己的牲口,把他帶到客店裡,小心照料他。第二天,取出兩個銀錢,交給店主說:請你小心看護他!不論額外花費多少,等我回來時,必要還給你。
「你以為這三個人中,誰是那遭遇強盜者的近人呢?」
那法學士答說:「是憐憫他的那人。」
耶穌於是給他說:「你去,也照樣做吧!」

—上主的話。

(15th Sunday in Ordinary Time)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 10:25-37

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.”
But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn, and cared for him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 5:1-12

那時候,耶穌一見群眾,就上了山,坐下;他的門徒來到他面前,他遂開口教訓他們說:「神貧的人是有福的,因為天國是他們的。哀慟的人是有福的,因為他們要受安慰。溫良的人是有福的,因為他們要承受土地。飢渴慕義的人是有福的,因為他們要得飽飫。憐憫人的人是有福的,因為他們要受憐憫。心裡潔淨的人是有福的,因為他們要看見天主。締造和平的人是有福的,因為他們要稱為天主的子女。為義而受迫害的人是有福的,因為天國是他們的。幾時人為了我而辱罵迫害你們,?造一切壞話毀謗你們,你們是有福的。你們歡喜踴躍罷!因為你們在天上的賞報是豐厚的。」

—上主的話。

(Feast of Blessed and Martyrs Saints of China)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 5:1-12

When he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.

神父講道 – 常年期第十四週 (星期五) (2022年7月8日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 10:16-23

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「看,我派遣你們好像羊進入狼群中,所以你們要機警如同蛇,純樸如同鴿子。你們要提防世人,因為他們要把你們交給公議會,要在他們的會堂裏鞭打你們;並且你們要為我的緣故,被帶到總督和君王前,對他們和外邦人作證。當人把你們交出時,你們不要思慮:怎麼說,或說什麼,因為在那時刻,自會賜給你們說什麼。因為說話的不是你們,而是你們父的聖神在你們內說話。兄弟要將兄弟,父親要將兒子置於死地,兒女也要起來反對父母,要將他們害死。你們為了我的名字,要為眾人所惱恨;唯獨堅持到底的,才可得救。但是,幾時人們在這城迫害你們,你們就逃往另一城去;我實在告訴你們:直到人子來到時,你們還未走完以色列的城邑。」

—上主的話。

(14th Week in Ordinary Time – Friday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 10:16-23

Jesus said to his Apostles: “Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.

神父講道 – 常年期第十四週 (星期四) (2022年7月7日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 10:7-15

那時候,耶穌對他的門徒說:「你們在路上應宣講說:天國臨近了。病人,你們要治好;死人,你們要復活;癩病人,你們要潔淨;魔鬼,你們要軀逐;你們白白得來的,也要白白分施。你們不要在腰帶裏備下金、銀、銅錢;路上不要帶口袋,也不要帶兩件內衣,也不要穿鞋,也不要帶棍杖,因為工人自當有他的食物。你們不論進了那一城或那一村,查問其中誰是當得起的,就住在那裏,直到你們離去。你們進那一家時,要向它請安。倘若這一家是堪當的,你們的平安就必降臨到這一家;倘若是不堪當的,你們的平安仍歸於你們。誰若不接待你們,也不聽你們的話,當你們從那一家或那一城出來時,應把塵土由你們的腳上拂去。我實在告訴你們:在審判的日子,索多瑪和哈摩辣地所受的懲罰,比那座城所受的還要輕。」

—上主的話。

(14th Week in Ordinary Time – Thursday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 10:7-15

Jesus said to his Apostles: “As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give. Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts; no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick. The laborer deserves his keep. Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until you leave. As you enter a house, wish it peace. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you. Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words— go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.

Jesus summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the Twelve Apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus.
Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’“

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 9:32-38

那時候,有人給耶穌送來一個附魔的啞巴。魔鬼一被趕出去,啞巴就說出話來。群眾驚奇說:「在以色列從未出現過這樣的事情。」但法利塞人卻說:「他是仗賴魔王驅魔。」
耶穌週遊各城各村,在他們的會堂內施教,宣講天國的福音,治好一切疾病,一切災殃。他一見到群眾,就對他們動了慈心,因為他們困苦流離,像沒有牧人的羊,於是對自己的門徒說:「莊稼固多,工人卻少,所以你們應當求莊稼的主人派遣工人,來收他的莊稼。」

—上主的話。

(14th Week in Ordinary Time – Tuesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 9:32-38

A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus, and when the demon was driven out the mute man spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.” But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”
Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
