恭讀聖路加福音 9:1-6
耶穌召集了那十二人來,賜給他們制伏一切魔鬼,並治療疾病的能力和權柄,派遣他們去宣講天主的國,並治好病人,向他們說:「你們在路上什麼也不要帶:也不要帶棍杖,也不要帶口袋,也不要帶食物,也不要帶銀錢,也不要帶兩件內衣。你們無論進了那一家,就住在那裏,直到從那裏離去。人若不接待你們,你們要離開那城,拂去你們腳上的塵土,作為反對他們的證據。」他們就出發,週遊各鄉村,宣傳喜訊,到處治病。
—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 9:1-6
1 And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal. 3 And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. 4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
—The Gospel of the Lord.

是的,主耶穌告訴祂的門徒,要到普天下去宣講天主的國,却無須帶棍杖,口袋,食物,银錢及內衣,是因為要學習對天主完全的依靠,相信祂自會給予不缺的照顧及巧妙的安排。
門徒因著對世物的不依戀,卻煉淨了心靈的自由。要有這份自由,才可以維護道路、真理和生命! 要在塵世的洪流中維護真道,就要有中國古代詩人陶淵明不為五斗米折腰的氣派,無恐無懼﹗就算是面對別人的不接納和不善待,卻無須爭辯,只要拂去腳上的塵土,作為反對他們的證據,然後離開!
