神父講道 - 四旬期第一週 星期五 (2009年3月6日)
恭讀聖瑪竇福音 5:20-26
那時候，耶穌對他的門徒說：「我告訴你們：除非你們的義德超過經師和法利塞人的義德，你們決進不了天國。你們一向聽過給古人說：『不可殺人！』誰若殺了 人，應受裁判。我卻對你們說：凡向自己弟兄發怒的，就要受裁判；誰若向自己的弟兄說『傻子』，就要受議會的裁判；誰若說『瘋子』，就要受火獄的罰。所以， 你若在祭壇前，要獻你的禮物時，在那裡想起你的弟兄有什麼怨你的事，就把你的禮物留在那裡，留在祭壇前，先去與你的弟兄和好，然後再來獻你的禮物。當你和 你的對頭還在路上，趕快與他和解，免得對頭把你交與判官，判官交給差役，把你投在獄裡。我實在告訴你：非到你還了最後的一文，決不能從那裡出來。」
—這是基督的福音。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 5:20-26
20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 21 “You have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, `You fool!’ shall be liable to the hell of fire. 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; 26 truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.
—The Gospel of the Lord.
