恭讀聖路加福音 9:7-9
那時，分封侯黑落德聽到耶穌所做的一切事，猶疑不定，因為有些人說：「若翰從死者中復活了。」但另有些人說：「是厄里亞出現了。」還有些人說：「是一位古 先知復活了。」黑落德且說：「若翰我已經斬首了；而這人到底是誰？關於他，我竟聽到了這樣的事！」於是他設法要見見他。

—這是基督的福音。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 9:7-9

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, 8 by some that Eli’jah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen. 9 Herod said, “John I beheaded; but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.

—The Gospel of the Lord.

9月25日　(週四)　 路9：7-9　    (其他經文──訓1：2-11   詠90)
分封侯黑落德聽到耶穌所做的一切事，猶疑不定，因為有些人說：「若翰從死者中復活了。」但另有些人說：「是厄里亞出現了。」還有些人說：「是一位古先知復活了。」黑落德且說：「若翰我已經斬首了；而這人到底是誰？關於他，我竟聽到了這樣的事！」於是他設法要見見他。

默　想

• 我們很多時就是黑落德——疑心生暗鬼。為什麼？因為做了虧心事！
• 但是，很多時我們沒有做虧心事，但也猶豫不決。為什麼？因為我們希望找出一條百分百正確的路。
• 對不起，這種取態可能會是很錯的！因為這世界沒有百分百最好的路！在天主眼中，只要我們決定了選擇向著祂，無論選擇A或B或C，都是好的。
• 沒有所謂最正確的路。每一條都有不同的功課可以學習。只要我們不要選了違背良心（天主）的路。

Sioux Falls, Sep 24, 2008 / 12:47 am (CNA).- Pro-life activists in South Dakota have launched a television ad featuring Dr. Bernard Nathanson, one of the founding members of NARAL, who calls on South Dakotans to vote to ban the use of “abortion as birth control.”

In a TV ad supporting Measure 11in South Dakota, Dr. Nathanson explains that he and his colleagues who founded NARAL created it to “export our pro-abortion mentality across the land.” He also reveals that, “One of our strategies was to deny what we knew to be true, that an abortion destroys the life of an existing human being.”

“This was the greatest mistake of my life… and the greatest mistake in our nation’s history,” states Nathanson, who performed 75,000 abortions and at one point ran the nation’s largest abortion clinic.

The new ad is part of an effort my VoteYesForLife.com to convince voters to pass a bill that would ban abortion in South Dakota, with exceptions being made for rape and incest, and to preserve the life and health of the mother.

The campaign was required to gather around 18,000 signatures to place Measure 11 on the November 4 ballot, and they succeeded in securing 58,000 signatures, according to VoteYesForLife.com.

“It’s clear that Measure 11 is what the people of South Dakota have been asking for. It is going to take a huge coordinated effort to mobilize a state-wide grass-roots effort, but we are already seeing it happen,” said Brandi Gruis from VoteYesForLife.com. “Measure 11 is the reasonable law South Dakota asked for.”

On August 12, the pro-abortion groups NARAL and Planned Parenthood Action Fund reacted to the effort by holding a press conference in Washington D.C.

“Let’s not kid ourselves,” Nancy Keenan, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice America, told reporters. “The people behind this effort [want] to make South Dakota the first step in a long-term campaign to mount a legal challenge to Roe.”
