The Pencil Parable
This movie requires Flash Player 8
In the beginning, the Pencil Maker spoke to the pencil saying,
“There are five things you need to know before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and you will become the best pencil you can be.”
1st ) You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone’s hand.
2nd) You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but this is required if you want to become a better pencil.
3rd) You have the ability to correct any mistakes you might make.
4th) The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.
5th) No matter what the condition, you must continue to write. You must always leave a clear, legible mark no matter how difficult the situation.
The pencil understood, promising to remember, and went into the box fully understanding its Maker’s purpose.
Now replacing the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.
1) You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God’s hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.
2) You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you’ll need it to become a stronger person.
3) You will be able to correct mistakes you might make or grow through them.
4) The most important part of you will always be what’s on the inside.
And 5) On every surface you walk, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to serve God in everything.
Everyone is like a pencil…created by the Maker for a unique and special purpose.
By understanding and remembering, let us proceed with our life on this earth having a meaningful purpose in our heart and a relationship with God daily.
You were Made to do Great Things!

神父講道 - 常年期第廿八週星期三 (2007年10月17日)
恭讀聖路加福音11:42-46
那時候，耶穌向法利塞人說：「禍哉，你們法利塞人！因為你們把薄荷、茴香及各種菜蔬捐獻十分之一，反而將公義及愛天主的義務忽略過去：這些固然該作，那些也 不可忽略。禍哉，你們法利塞人！因為你們在會堂裏愛坐上座，在街市上愛受人致敬。禍哉，你們！因為你們就如同不顯露的墳墓，人在上面走過，也不知道。」有 一個法學士回答耶穌說：「師傅，你說這些話，連我們也侮辱了。」耶穌說：「禍哉，你們這些法學士！因為你們加給人不堪負荷的重擔，而你們自己對這重擔連一 個指頭也不肯動一下。」
—上主的話。
A Reading from the Gospel of Luke 11:42-46
The Lord said: “Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb, but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others. Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces. Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk.”
Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, “Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too.” And he said, “Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.”
—The Gospel of the Lord.
