神父講道 – 四旬期第二週 (週五) (2013年3月1日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 21:33-43,45-46

那時候,耶穌對司祭長和民間長老說:「你們再聽一個比喻吧!從前有一個家主,培植了一個葡萄園,周圍圍上籬笆,園內挖了一個榨酒池,築了一個守望台,把它租給園戶,就離開了本國。快到收果子的時節,他打發僕人到園戶那裡去收果子。園戶拿住了僕人,將一個鞭打了,將一個殺了,將另一個用石頭砸死了。他再打發一些僕人去,人數比以前還多;園戶也一樣對待了他們,最後他打發自己的兒子到他們那裡去,說:他們會敬重我的兒子。但園戶一看見是兒子,就彼此說:這是繼承人;來!我們殺掉他,我們就能得到他的產業。於是他們拿住他,把他推到園外殺了。那麼﹐當葡萄園的主人來時,他要怎樣處置那些園戶呢?」他們回答說:「要凶惡地消滅那些凶惡的人,把葡萄園另租給按時給他繳納出產的園戶。」耶穌對他們說:「『匠人棄而不用的石頭,反而成了屋角的基石;那是上主的所行所為,在我們眼中,神妙莫測!』的這句經文,你們沒有讀過嗎?為此,我對你們說,天主的國,必由你們中奪去,而交給結果子的外邦人。」
司祭長和法利塞人聽了他的這些比喻,覺出他是指著他們說的,就想逮住他,但害怕民眾,因為他們以耶穌為一位先知。

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 21:33-43,45-46

33 “Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. 34 When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit; 35 and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. 37 Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, `They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, `This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” 42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? 43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.” 45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. 46 But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him to be a prophet.

恭讀聖路加福音 16:19-31

那時候,耶穌向法利塞人說:「有一個富家人,身穿紫紅袍及細麻紗衣,天天奢華地宴樂。另有一個乞丐,名叫拉匝祿,滿身瘡痍,躺臥在他的大門前。他指望著富家人桌上掉下的碎屑充饑,但只有狗來舐他的瘡痍。那乞丐死了,天使把他送到亞巴郎的懷抱裡。那個富家人也死了,被人埋葬了。他在陰間,痛苦中舉目一望,遠遠看見亞巴郎及他懷抱中的拉匝祿,便喊叫說:父親亞巴郎!可憐我吧!請打發拉匝祿用他的指頭尖,蘸點水來涼潤我的舌頭,因為我在這火燄中極其慘苦。亞巴郎說:孩子,你應記得你活著的時候,已享盡了你的福,而拉匝祿同樣也受盡了苦。現在,他在這裏受安慰,而你應受苦了。除此之外,在我們與你們之間,隔著一個巨大的深淵,致使人即使願意,從這邊到你們那邊去也不能,從那邊到我們這邊來也不能。那人說:父親!那麼就請你打發拉匝祿到我父家去,因為我有五個弟兄,叫他警告他們,免得他們也來到這個痛苦的地方。亞巴郎說:他們自有梅瑟及先知,聽從他們好了。他說:『不,父親亞巴郎!倘若有人從死者中到了他們那裏,他們必會悔改。亞巴郎給他說:如果他們不聽從梅瑟及先知,縱使有人從死者中復活了,他們也必不信服。』」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 16:19-31

19 “There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate lay a poor man named Laz’arus, full of sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried; 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Laz’arus in his bosom. 24 And he called out, `Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Laz’arus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, `Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Laz’arus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, `Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, `They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, `No, father Abraham; but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, `If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'”

神父講道 – 四旬期第二週 (週三) (2013年2月27日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 20:17-28

耶穌上耶路撒冷去的時候,暗暗把十二個門徒帶到一邊,在路上對他們說:「看,我們上耶路撒冷去,人子要被交於司祭和經師,他們要定他的死罪;並且要把他交給外邦人戲弄、鞭打、釘死;但第三天,他要復活。」
那時,載伯德兒子的母親,同自己的兒子前來,叩拜耶穌,請求他一件事。耶穌對她說:「你要什麼?」她回答說:「你叫我的這兩個兒子,在你王國內,一個坐在你的右邊,一個坐在你的左邊。」耶穌回答說:「你們不知道你們所求的是什麼,你們能飲我將要飲的爵嗎?」他們說:「我們能。」耶穌對他們說:「我的爵你們固然要飲;但坐在右邊或左邊,不是我可以給的,而是我父給誰預備了,就給誰。」那十個聽了,就惱怒他們兩兄弟。
耶穌叫過他們來說:「你們知道:外邦人有首長主宰他們,有大臣管轄他們。但在你們中卻不可這樣;誰若願意在你們中成為大的,就當作你們的僕役;誰若願意在你們中為首,就當作你們的奴僕。就如人子來不是受服侍,而是服侍人,並交出自己的生命,為大眾作贖價。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 20:17-28

17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, 18 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, 19 and deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.” 20 Then the mother of the sons of Zeb’edee came up to him, with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. 21 And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these two sons of mine may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22 But Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” 23 He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” 24 And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave; 28 even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 23:1-12

那時,耶穌對民眾和他的門徒講論說:「經師和法利塞人坐在梅瑟的講座上:凡他們對你們所說的,你們要行要守;但不要照他們的行為去做,因為他們只說不做。他們把沉重而難以負荷的擔子捆好,放在人的肩上,自己卻不肯用一個指頭動一下。他們所做的一切工作都是為叫人看;為此,他們把經匣放寬,衣繸加長;他們又喜愛筵席上的首位,會堂中的上座;喜愛人在街市上向他們致敬,尊稱他們為『辣彼』。至於你們,卻不要被稱為『辣彼』,因為你們的師傅只有一位,你們眾人都是兄弟;也不要在地上稱人為你們的父,因為你們的父只有一位﹐就是天上的父。你們也不要被稱為導師,因為你們的導師只有一位,就是默西亞。你們中那最大的,該作你們的僕役。凡高舉自己的,必被貶抑;凡貶抑自己的,必被高舉。」

—上主的話。

(2nd Week of Lent – Tuesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 23:1-12

1 Then said Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; 3 so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice. 4 They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, 7 and salutations in the market places, and being called rabbi by men. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. 9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ. 11 He who is greatest among you shall be your servant; 12 whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

那時候,耶穌向門徒說:「你們應當慈悲,如像你們的父那樣慈悲。你們不要判斷,你們也就不受判斷;不要定罪,也就不被定罪;你們要赦免,也就蒙赦免。你們給,也就給你們;並且還要用好的,連按帶搖,以致外溢的升斗,倒在你們的懷裏,因為你們用什麼升斗量,也用什麼升斗量給你們。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 6:36-38

36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”
