1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, 4 and Ram the father of Ammin’adab, and Ammin’adab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Bo’az by Rahab, and Bo’az the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uri’ah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehobo’am, and Rehobo’am the father of Abi’jah, and Abi’jah the father of Asa, 8 and Asa the father of Jehosh’aphat, and Jehosh’aphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzzi’ah, 9 and Uzzi’ah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezeki’ah, 10 and Hezeki’ah the father of Manas’seh, and Manas’seh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josi’ah, 11 and Josi’ah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. 12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoni’ah was the father of She-al’ti-el, and She-al’ti-el the father of Zerub’babel, 13 and Zerub’babel the father of Abi’ud, and Abi’ud the father of Eli’akim, and Eli’akim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eli’ud, 15 and Eli’ud the father of Elea’zar, and Elea’zar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

『祥』話短說 (2011年12月16日)

by | Dec 16, 2011 | Pastor Corner

司鐸職務與工作
人的成長過程有進也有退。我指的成長不是生理方面，而是倫理方面。我今年晉鐸剛好踏入第四十個年頭。第一個十年，工作上我是全情投入的。第二個十年，年紀剛過四十，曾在芝加哥進修牧民神學一年，本應回修院任代理院長，後來被委任為一堂區的主任司鐸。開始時以行政手法去處理堂區事務 ， 着重人際關係而忽視祈禱 ，這是我牧職生涯中最遺憾的十年。
第三十個年頭是天主給我恩慈之年，因為主教派遣我到多倫多服務當地的華人。環境比較清靜，也認識了一位有五傷的女士，從此改變了我牧職的態度，也改善了祈禱生活。
第四十個年頭則服務聖母領報堂。堂的設計，不單華麗，它的聖體堂更是讓人專注祈禱之場所。我感謝主教派遣我來這堂區服務。由於我沒有擔當校監的職務，生活能踏入平實的節奏。祈禱生活也積極起來。
堂區牧職，應該是重質而不重量。無論牧職同工或牧民議會的成員，能產生福傳效果的，主要是來自互愛。互愛的最大的考驗，是同工間不同性格的磨合。
我和副本堂，性格剛剛相反，再加上文化的差異，要愉快合作，不是易事，但我們克服了如上的這些困難。因為對方謙遜服從，而我也善意待人。就是這樣，我們成了上主牧民的工具。
總的來說，為神職人員，我們真正的職務不是工作，而是祭獻。我們的生活方式，不單是以人為本，而是以天為本，即以天主聖意為大前題。
不少教牧同工，由於工作繁重，結果病倒，實是可惜。假若能與人分享，可避免心力疲乏之苦。若真的病倒，不妨與三五知己，互訴心聲。但，這是神職人員最弱的一環，因為在修院訓練過程，嚴禁私交私好(大家可以理解其因由)。結果，便容易陷入孤立無援之境。
今天，牧職再不是個人的工作，而是群策群力的見證。
