聖猷思定 (殉道) (紀念)
恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 12:13-17
那時,幾個法利塞人和黑落德黨人到耶穌那裏,要用言論陷害他。他們來對他說:「師傅!我們知道你是真誠的,不顧忌任何人,因為你不看人的情面,只按真理教授天主的道路。給凱撒納了稅,可以不可以?我們該納不該納?」耶穌識破了他們的虛偽,便對他們說:「你們為什麼試探我?拿一個『德納』來給我看看!」他們拿了來。耶穌就問他們說:「這肖像和字號是誰的?」他們回答說:「凱撒的。」耶穌就對他們說:「凱撒的應歸還凱撒,天主的就應歸還天主。」他們對他非常驚異。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 12:13-17

13 And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Hero’dians, to entrap him in his talk. 14 And they came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? 15 Should we pay them, or should we not?” But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it.” 16 And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.” 17 Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were amazed at him.

司鐸年每日默想 (6月1日)

在“我們”內實現自我

在為對方生活與彼此交流中,甚至達到團體共融的生活中,也就是在互愛中,包含了基督徒人性化最高形式的德行,意味著生活出天主聖三的肖像;也意味著形成唯一的身體(基督的奧體),成為一心一靈(聖神所賜予的愛德);因此還意味著成為教會。但是也意味著實現自我,因為唯獨體現出“我們”時,才是真正實現自我。
這就是聖猶思定和亞歷山大的聖克萊蒙所說的基督徒哲學,並且納祥的額我略稱之為“生活哲學”(演講集VI)。培育一個人,不應局限於神學、哲學、歷史、釋經學、倫理學……的教育。單靠個人的德行——儘管包括祈禱和克己行為——不足于完整地培育一個人。新人就是死而復活的人,因為成為基督奧體的肢體,為同一基督的其他肢體而生活,互愛互助。
