恭讀聖瑪竇福音 1:18-24
耶穌基督的誕生是這樣的:祂的母親瑪利亞許配於若瑟後,在同居前,因聖神有孕的事,已顯示出來。她的丈夫若瑟,因是義人,不願公開羞辱她,有意暗暗地休退她。當他在思慮這事時,看,在夢中,上主的天使顯現給他說:「達味之子若瑟,不要怕娶你的妻子瑪利亞,因為在她內受生的,是出於聖神。她要生一個兒子;你要給祂起名叫耶穌,因為祂要把自己的民族,由他們的罪惡中拯救出來。」 這一切事的發生,是為應驗上主藉先知所說的話:「有一位貞女,將懷孕生子,人將稱祂的名字為厄瑪奴耳,意思是:天主與我們同在。」若瑟從夢中醒來,就照上主的天使所囑咐的辦了,娶了他的妻子。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 1:18-24
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; 19 and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; 21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23 “Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel” (which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife.

尊敬主愛的梁神父;
「大聖號經」「口訣」:『以十字聖架號,天主我等主,救我等於我仇,因父及子及聖神之名,亞孟!』老教友則多半會唸。
讀出恭讀:※※※※福音時、自然動作畫一個小十字於額頭,再畫一個小十字於口唇,再畫一個小十字於胸前,
勾出塵封已久的記憶,就是兒時看到,大多數教友入聖堂時、跪下來就先畫一個小十字於額頭,再畫一個小十字於口唇,再畫一個小十字於胸前,然後再劃一般的十字聖號。
現今我都自然隨俗多年、聖堂時、「大聖號」很小用!祇是用小聖號。
有些時,無意中;唸出「大、小聖號經」部份教友呆呆的望著我!怪怪的!
我感到困惑,「大聖號經」這動作是否改革了、祇用「小聖號經」可以?
我想明確認知【小聖號經】是否總括了【大聖號經】現今不用特別注重【大聖號經】呢?
鞠請賜悉。
祝教安
