恭讀聖路加福音　1:26-38

那時候，天使加俾額爾奉天主差遣，往加里肋亞的城去，到一位童貞女那裏，她已與達味家族中的一個名叫若瑟的男子訂了婚，童貞女的名字叫瑪利亞。天使進去向她說：「萬福！充滿恩寵者，上主與你同在！」【在女人中你是蒙祝福的。】她卻因這話驚惶不安，便思慮這樣的請安有什麼意思。天使對她說：「瑪利亞，不要害怕，因為你在天主前獲得了寵幸。看，你將懷孕生子，並要給他起名叫耶穌。他將是偉大的，並被稱為至高者的兒子，上主天主要把他祖先達味的御座賜給他。他要為王統治雅各伯家，直到永遠；他的王權沒有終結。」瑪利亞便向天使說：「這事怎能成就？因為我不認識男人。」天使答覆她說：「聖神要臨於你，至高者的能力要庇蔭你，因此，那要誕生的聖者，將稱為天主的兒子。且看，你的親戚依撒伯爾，她雖在老年，卻懷了男胎，本月已六個月了，她原是素稱不生育的，因為在天主前沒有不能的事。」瑪利亞說：「看！上主的婢女，願照你的話成就於我吧！」天使便離開她去了。

—上主的話。

(Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:26-38

In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

恭讀聖瑪竇福音　19:16-22

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。

—上主的話。

(20th Week in Ordinary Time – Monday)

(Memorial of Saint Pius X, Pope)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 19:16-22

A young man approached Jesus 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.

恭讀聖瑪竇福音　15:21-28

那時候，耶穌退往提洛，及漆冬一帶。看，有一個客納罕婦人，從那地方出來，大聲呼喊，說：「主，達味之子，可憐我吧！我的女兒，被魔鬼糾纏得好苦啊！」耶穌卻一句話也不回答她。
耶穌的門徒就上前求耶穌，說：「打發她走吧！因為她在我們後面，不停地喊叫。」
耶穌回答說：「我被派遣，只是為了以色列家迷失的羊。」
那婦人卻前來叩拜耶穌，說：「主，幫助我吧！」
耶穌回答說：「拿兒女的餅，扔給小狗，是不對的。」
但那婦人說：「是啊！主，可是小狗也吃到主人桌子上掉下來的碎屑。」
耶穌回答她說：「啊！婦人，你的信德真大！就成全你的願望吧！」從那時刻起，她的女兒就痊瘉了。

—上主的話。

(20th Sunday in Ordinary Time)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 15:21-28

At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, “Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her. Jesus’ disciples came and asked him, “Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us.” He said in reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But the woman came and did Jesus homage, saying, “Lord, help me.” He said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And the woman’s daughter was healed from that hour.

神父講道 – 常年期第十九週 (星期五) (2023年8月18日)

by pleung | Aug 17, 2023 | Gospel Reflection, Homily, Medjugorje, Prayers, Reflection, Sharing

恭讀聖瑪竇福音　19:3-12

那時候，有些法利塞人來到耶穌跟前，試探他說：「許不許人為了任何緣故，休自己的妻子呢？」他回答說：「你們沒有念過，那創造者自起初就造了他們——男和女；且說：『為此，人要離開父親和母親，依附自己的妻子，兩人成為一體』的話嗎？這樣，他們不是兩個，而是一體了。為此，凡天主所結合的，人不可拆散。」他們對他說：「那麼，為什麼梅瑟還吩咐人下休書休妻呢？」耶穌對他們說：「梅瑟為了你們的心硬，才准許你們休妻；但起初並不是這樣。如今我對你們說：無論誰休妻，除非因為姘居，而另娶一個，他就是犯奸淫；凡娶被休的，也是犯奸淫。」門徒對他說：「人同妻子的關係，如果是這樣，倒不如不娶的好。」耶穌對他們說：「這話不是人人所能領悟的，只有那些得了恩賜的人，才能領悟。因為有些閹人，從母胎生來就是這樣；有些閹人，是被人閹的；有些閹人，卻是為了天國，而自閹的。能領悟的，就領悟吧！」

—上主的話。

(19th Week in Ordinary Time – Friday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 19:3-12

Some Pharisees approached Jesus, and tested him, saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?” He said in reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.” They said to him, “Then why did Moses command that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss her?” He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery.” His disciples said to him, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” He answered, “Not all can accept this word, but only those to whom that is granted. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.

神父講道 – 常年期第十九週 (星期四) (2023年8月17日)

by pleung | Aug 17, 2023 | Gospel Reflection, Homily, Medjugorje, Prayers, Reflection, Sharing

恭讀聖瑪竇福音　18:21-19:1

那時，伯多祿前來對耶穌說：「主啊！若我的弟兄得罪了我，我該寬恕他多少次？直至七次嗎？」耶穌對他說：「我不對你說：直到七次，而是到七十個七次。為此天國好比一個君王，要同他的僕人算賬。他開始算賬的時候，給他送來了一個欠他一萬「塔冷通」的，因為他沒有可還的，主人就下令，要他把自己和妻子兒女，以及他所有的一切，都變賣來還債。那僕人就俯伏在地叩拜他說：主啊！容忍我吧！一切我都要還給你。那僕人的主人就動心把他釋放了，並且也免了他的債。但那僕人正出去時，遇見了一個欠他一百「德納」的同伴，他就抓住他，扼住他的喉嚨說：還你欠的債！他的同伴就俯伏在地哀求他說：容忍我吧！我必還給你。可是他不願意，且把他關在監裏，直到他還清了欠債。他的同伴見到所發生的事，非常悲憤，遂去把所發生的一切告訴了主人。於是主人把那僕人叫來，對他說：惡僕！因為你哀求了我，我就免了你那一切的債；難道你不該憐憫你的同伴，如同我憐憫了你一樣嗎？他的主人大怒，遂把他交給刑役，直到他還清所欠的一切。如果你們不各自從心裏寬恕自己的弟兄，我的天父也要這樣對待你們。」
耶穌講完這些話以後，就離開加里肋亞，來到約旦對岸的猶太境內。

—上主的話。

(19th Week in Ordinary Time – Thursday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 18:21-19:1

Peter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow servant put in prison until he paid back the debt. Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?’ Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart.”
When Jesus finished these words, he left Galilee and went to the district of Judea across the Jordan.

神父講道 – 常年期第十九主日 (2023年8月13日)

by pleung | Aug 13, 2023 | Gospel Reflection, Homily, Medjugorje, Prayers, Reflection, Sharing

恭讀聖瑪竇福音　14:22-33

群眾吃飽以後，耶穌即刻催迫門徒上船，在他之前，到對岸去。其間，耶穌遣散了群眾；以後，便獨自上山祈禱。到了夜晚，耶穌仍獨自一人在那裡。
船已離岸幾里了，受到波浪的顛簸，因為吹的是逆風。夜裡四更時分，耶穌步行海上，向著他們走來。門徒看見耶穌在海上行走，就驚慌地說：「是個妖怪。」並且嚇得大叫起來。
耶穌立即向他們說：「放心！是我。不要怕！」
伯多祿回答說：「主，如果是你，就叫我在水面上步行，到你那裡吧！」
耶穌說：「來吧！」
伯多祿於是從船上下來，步行水面，走向耶穌。但他一見風勢很強，就害怕起來，並開始下沉，於是大叫說：「主，救我啊！」
耶穌立刻伸手拉住他，對他說：「小信德的人哪！你為什麼懷疑？」耶穌與伯多祿一上了船，風就停了。
船上的人便朝拜耶穌，說：「你真是天主子。」

—上主的話。

(19th Sunday in Ordinary Time)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 14:22-33

After he had fed the people, Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and precede him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. “It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried out in fear. At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught Peter, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” After they got into the boat, the wind died down. Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
