神父講道 - 四旬期第四週 星期五 (2008年3月7日)

恭讀聖若望福音 7:1-2,10,25-30

那時候,耶穌周遊於加里肋亞,而不願周遊於猶太,因為猶太人要圖謀殺害他。那時,猶太人的慶節,帳棚節近了,耶穌的弟兄們上去過節以後,他也去了,但不是明顯的,而是暗中去的。

於是,有幾個耶路撒冷人說:「這不是人們所要圖謀殺害的人嗎?看,他放膽地講論,而沒有人對他說什麼,難道首長們也確認這人就是默西亞嗎?可是,我們知道這人是那裏的;然而,當默西亞來時,卻沒有人知道他是那裏的。」於是耶穌在聖殿施教時,大聲喊說:「你們認識我,也知道我是那裏的;但我不是由我自己而來,而是那真實者派遣我來的,你們卻不認識他;我認識他,因為我是出於他,是他派遣了我。」他們想捉住他,但沒有人向他下手,因為他的時辰還沒有到。

—上主的話

(4th Week of Lent - Fri.)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30

After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews’ feast of Tabernacles was at hand. But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? Yet we know where this man comes from; and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.” So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from? But I have not come of my own accord; he who sent me is true, and him you do not know. I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.” So they sought to arrest him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

180 catechists have completed their course on the occasion of the 400-year anniversary of the Diocese of Shanghai

ASIA/CHINA - 180 catechists have completed their course on the occasion of the 400-year anniversary of the Diocese of Shanghai

Shanghai (Agenzia Fides) - 180 catechists have earned their Diploma, after participating in a formation course that was among the initiatives in commemoration of the 400-year anniversary of evangelization in the Diocese of Shanghai. It has also been the first formation course for catechists on themes like the Sacraments, Liturgy, and Sacred Scripture. The course lasted for one year. The first 6 months were on theory, while the second half of the course was more focused on the practice of the life of faith, how to receive the love of God and transmit it to others. The diocese asked that every participant present a “dissertation” on a certain part of Sacred Scripture, in front of a panel of priests and religious sisters knowledgeable in that field. Other factors that were taken into account in order to receive the diploma were attendance and personal performance in activities. The Shanghai Diocese is known for its glorious history, for its Marian shrine, and for its many heroes of the faith. Historically, it was a mission of French Jesuits. Today, the Catholic community is comprised of over 100,000 faithful, including 70 priests, 80 religious sisters, 30 novices (sisters), and a major seminary. The diocese has 110 parishes, as well as the famous Shrine of She Shan, dedicated to the Virgin of Lourdes and built in 1907, now visited by Catholics from all over Asia.

33天奉獻 -第十六天 - (2008年3月7日)

為瑪利亞無玷聖心凱旋的勝利作奉獻準備 - 三十三天祈禱奉獻
33 Days Prayer Consecration Preparation for the Triumphant Victory of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

訊息:

「親愛的孩子們,讓我們合而為一好嗎?我所請求的,是讓我們的心和靈魂合而為一。我給你們所指派的工作是神聖的。是的,是真的,你們將要幫助我那些在東方的孩子,不但如此,你們還要為我的勝利工作,並把天主降福的神聖計劃帶到世上去。親愛的孩子們,細看你頭上的長空。看!風起時,一片一片的雲朵都在一起飄盪。每一片雲都隨風飄飛,天主願意它到那裏去,天上的和風便把它送到那裏去。現在,聖神也同樣降臨到你們身上,祂要輕拂你們的心靈,而你們的心靈亦任由祂牽引。你的心和我的心也就是這樣一起飄盪。」

(親愛的母親,我們該怎樣敞開心靈呢?)

「透過奉獻,你們將超脫塵世,成為我的俘虜。在這愛與平安中回去,聽任聖神推動你的靈魂。」93-3-23

引導:

聖母瑪利亞帶領著我們由奉獻出發,穿越她的勝利,直達耶穌聖心的王權,這是天主計劃中的協同贖世的職份。依循著這途徑,我們被帶領到恩寵的最後時刻。聖母瑪利亞要取勝的目的,是為準備眾人的靈魂,迎接耶穌聖心的救恩。

恩寵的最後時刻,就是在天國臨現人間前的一刻所賜與的恩寵––那時候,大地重歸原狀。聖母瑪利亞指這個最後時刻為第二個將臨期,兩顆聖心的契合。

指示:

作出了奉獻的靈魂,內心已不再需要塵世。它渾忘了一切塵俗之事,存在只獨為了天主。耶穌藉著無玷聖心,揀選了你的靈魂,成為祂的所有。所以,為侍奉祂,你必須每天重新奉獻。把自己的意願與天主的旨意交融,是一份不斷的交付。正因為沒有事物比自己的意願更為寶貴,天主所不斷要求的犧牲,就正是這個自己的意願。只要我們仍把自己的意願保留,便再也沒有別的奉獻能令天主稱心滿意。那死於自己意願而讓天主的聖意燃亮的靈魂是幸福的。

默想:

啊,瑪利亞無玷之心!請允許我的靈魂在天主所引領的路上行走吧。親愛的母親,我懇求妳,讓我知道什麼是最中悅天主的。請幫助我的靈魂服從祂的聖意,好讓我犧牲自己的個人意願,作為與祂的聖意結合的表示。願我的靈魂與聖神的渴望一起飄動,好把我帶領,讓我只能到達祂所屬意的地方。

「願照你的話成就於我罷!。」(路1:38)

每日聖言靜思 四旬期第四週 (週五) 3月7日

信仰生活互動坊、塔冷通心靈書舍

3月7日 (週五) 若7:1-2, 10, 25-30   (其他經文──智2:1, 12-22 詠34)
這些事以後,耶穌周遊於加里肋亞,而不願周遊於猶太,因為猶太人要圖謀殺害他。那時,猶太人的慶節,帳棚節近了,但他的弟兄們上去過節以後,他也去了,但不是明顯的,而是暗中去的。於是,有幾個耶路撒冷人說:「這不是人們所要圖謀殺害的人嗎?看,他放膽地講論,而沒有人對他說什麼,難道首長們也確認這人就是默西亞嗎?可是我們知道這人是那裡的;然而,當默西亞來時,卻沒有人知道他是那裡的。」於是耶穌在聖殿施教時,大聲喊說:「你們認識我,也知道我是那裡的;但我不是由我自己而來,而是那真實者派遣我來的,你們卻不認識他;我認識他,因為我是出於他,是他派遣了我。」他們想捉住他,但沒有人向他下手,因為他的時辰還沒有到。

默 想──Ø 在每年的四旬期,正正是要我們再次嘗試經歷、體會主耶穌的苦難。那苦難甚至不單單在祂釘十架的時候,打從法利塞人和經師們夥同群眾開始排斥祂、迫害祂、暗暗要捉拿祂,耶穌自然明白自己的危險處境,但祂又繼續一往無前。
Ø 一步又一步,亦步亦趨,他們的殺機向祂展開。祂卻沒有逃避,縱然祂知道自己是誰,祂也和天父的關係依然保持得很好。
Ø 迫害祂的人都心硬。擁有一顆柔軟的心,其實是一種很大的福氣,因為「心軟」的人學會愛,也有活出愛的能力。那心硬的人卻在不斷傷害別人,尤甚者,也在傷害自己而不自知。
Ø 心硬的人為何心硬?可能是:基於深層的一份恐懼的心、不安全感、故步自封、要控制一切,總之整個的自己未能釋放,未能輕身上路。包袱太多太重,自己變成「大閘蟹」。
