神父講道 - 四旬期第三週 (週五) (2009年3月20日)
恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 12:28-34
那時候,有一個經師上前來,問耶穌說:「一切誡命中,那一條是第一條呢?」耶穌回答說:「第一條是:『以色列!你要聽!上主我們的天主是唯一的天主。你們 當全心、全靈、全力愛上主,你的天主。』第二條是:『你應當愛近人如你自己。』再沒有別的誡命比這兩條更大的了。」那經師對耶穌說:「不錯,師傅說的實在 對:他是唯一的,除他以外,再沒有別的:應以全心、全意、全力愛他,並愛近人如自己,遠超過一切全燔祭和犧牲。」耶穌見他回答的明智,便對他說:「你離天 主的國不遠了。」從此,沒有人敢再問他。——這是基督的福音。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 12:28-34
28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The first is, `Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; 30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32 And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he; 33 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

十九日這天下午,教宗有兩項活動。首先是訪問保羅·埃米爾·萊熱樞機主教所建立的全國殘障復健中心。保羅·埃米爾· 萊熱樞機主教原是加拿大蒙特利爾縂主教區的縂主教,他在一九六八年退休後,前往喀麥隆傳教,于一九七二年在雅溫得創立這所以他為名的殘障復健中心。這個中心的目的是協助殘障者恢復健康,並培養他們謀生的技能。中心竣工後,由當時總統阿馬杜·阿希喬主持落成啓用典禮。一九七八年這所復健中心轉贈給國家,由社會事務部負責管理經營。
“教宗在他的主保大聖若瑟瞻禮這天集合了全非洲的教會,勉勵他們為非洲大陸的前途盡一項基本任務,那就是:成爲家庭、青年、男女老幼的嚮導,克服種種困難,並在福音的光照下重新發現充滿希望的生命。教宗舉行彌撒的祭台位于一個像是非洲傳統草棚屋的巨大建築内,運動場坐滿了大約五萬人,包括喀麥隆總統比雅伉儷全家和許多位政府要員。這台彌撒是教宗非洲行的巔峰,彌撒結束時,教宗把第二屆非洲主教特別會議綱領交給了非洲主教們”。
