恭讀聖瑪竇福音　23:1-12

那時，耶穌對民眾和他的門徒講論說：「經師和法利塞人坐在梅瑟的講座上，凡他們對你們所說的，你們要行要守，但不要照他們的行為去做，因為他們只說不做。他們把沉重而難以負荷的擔子捆好，放在人的肩上，自己卻不肯用一個指頭動一下。他們所做的一切工作都是為叫人看；為此，他們把經匣放寬，衣繸加長；他們又喜受宴席上的首位，會堂中的上座；喜歡人在街市上向他們致敬，稱他們為『辣彼』。至於你們，卻不要被稱為『辣彼』，因為你們的師傅只有一位，你們眾人都是兄弟；也不要在地上稱人為你們的父，因為你們的父只有一位，就是天上的父。你們也不要被稱為導師，因為你們的導師只有一位，就是默西亞。你們中那最大的，該作你們的僕役。凡高舉自己的，必被貶抑；凡貶抑自己的，必被高舉。」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 23:1-12

1 Then said Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; 3 so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice. 4 They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, 7 and salutations in the market places, and being called rabbi by men. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. 9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ. 11 He who is greatest among you shall be your servant; 12 whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

神父講道 – 聖母元后 (紀念) (週五) (2014年8月22日)

by pleung | Aug 21, 2014 | Gospel Reflection, Homily, Prayers, Reflection, Sharing

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

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34 And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” 35 And the angel said to her, “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. 36 And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

神父講道 – 聖庇護十世 (教宗) (紀念) (週四) (2014年8月21日)

by pleung | Aug 20, 2014 | Gospel Reflection, Homily, Prayers, Reflection, Sharing

聖庇護十世 (教宗) (紀念)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音　22:1-14

那時，耶穌用比喻對司祭長和民間長老說：「天國好比一個國王，為自己的兒子辦婚宴。他打發僕人去召被請的人來赴婚宴，他們卻不願意來。他又派其他的僕人去，說：你們對被請的人說：看，我已經預備好了我的盛宴，我的公牛和肥畜都宰殺了，一切都齊備了，你們來赴婚宴吧！他們卻不理：有的往自己的田裡去了，有的作自己的生意去了，其餘的竟拿住他的僕人，凌辱後殺死了。國王於是動了怒，派自己的軍隊消滅了那些殺人的兇手，焚毀他們的城市。然後對僕人說：婚宴已經齊備了，但是被請的人都不配。如今你們到各路口去，凡是你們所遇到的，都請來赴婚宴。那些僕人就出去到大路上，凡遇到的，無論壞人好人，都召集了來，婚宴上就滿了坐席的人。
「國王進來巡視坐席的客人，看見在那裡有一個沒有穿婚宴禮服的人，便對他說：朋友，你怎麼到這裡來，不穿婚宴禮服？那人默然無語。國王遂對僕役說：你們捆起他的腳和手來，把他丟在外面的黑暗中；在那裡要有哀號和切齒。因為被召的人多，被選的人少。」

—上主的話。

(Memorial of Saint Pius X, Pope)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 22:1-14

1 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a marriage feast for his son,3 and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast;but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, `Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready; come to the marriage feast.’ 5 But they made light of it and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, `The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment; 12 and he said to him, `Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, `Bind him hand and foot, and cast him into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

聖伯爾納鐸 (院長、聖師) (紀念)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音　20:1-16

那時，耶穌給門徒講了這個比喻：「天國好像一個家主，清晨出去為自己的葡萄園僱工人。他與工人議定一天一個「德納」，就派他們到葡萄園裏去了。約在第三時辰，他又出去，看見另有些人在街市上閒立著，就對他們說：你們也到我的葡萄園裏去吧！凡照公義該給的，我必給你們。他們就去了。約在第六和第九時辰，他又出去，也照樣作了。約在第十一時辰，他又出去，看見還有些人站在那裏，就對他們說：為什麼你們站在這裏整天閒著？他們對他說：因為沒有人僱我們。他對他們說：你們也到我的葡萄園裏去吧！到了晚上，葡萄園的主人對他的管事人說：你叫工人來，分給他們工資，由最後的開始，直至最先的。那些約在第十一時辰來的人，每人領了一個「德納」。那些最先僱的前來，心想自己必會多領；但他們也只領了一個「德納」。他們一領了，就抱怨家主，說：這些最後僱的人，不過工作了一個時辰，而你竟把他們與我們這整天受苦受熱的，同等看待。他答覆其中的一個說：朋友！我並沒有虧負你，你不是和我議定了一個「德納」嗎？拿你的走吧！我願意給這最後來的和給你的一樣。難道不許我拿我所有的財物，行我所願意的嗎？或是因為我好，你就眼紅嗎？這樣，最後的將成為最先的，最先的將成為最後的。」

—上主的話。

(20th Week in Ordinary Time – Wednesday)

(Memorial of Saint Bernard, Abbot and Doctor of the Church)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 20:1-16

1 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; 4 and to them he said, `You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went. 5 Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, `Why do you stand here idle all day?’ 7 They said to him, `Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, `You go into the vineyard too.’ 8 And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, `Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ 9 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius.
10 Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, 12 saying, `These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ 13 But he replied to one of them, `Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you. 15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ 16 So the last will be first, and the first last.”
