恭讀聖瑪竇福音　18:21-19:1

那時，伯多祿前來對耶穌說：「主啊！若我的弟兄得罪了我，我該寬恕他多少次？直至七次嗎？」耶穌對他說：「我不對你說：直到七次，而是到七十個七次。為此天國好比一個君王，要同他的僕人算賬。他開始算賬的時候，給他送來了一個欠他一萬「塔冷通」的，因為他沒有可還的，主人就下令，要他把自己和妻子兒女，以及他所有的一切，都變賣來還債。那僕人就俯伏在地叩拜他說：主啊！容忍我吧！一切我都要還給你。那僕人的主人就動心把他釋放了，並且也免了他的債。但那僕人正出去時，遇見了一個欠他一百「德納」的同伴，他就抓住他，扼住他的喉嚨說：還你欠的債！他的同伴就俯伏在地哀求他說：容忍我吧！我必還給你。可是他不願意，且把他關在監裏，直到他還清了欠債。他的同伴見到所發生的事，非常悲憤，遂去把所發生的一切告訴了主人。於是主人把那僕人叫來，對他說：惡僕！因為你哀求了我，我就免了你那一切的債；難道你不該憐憫你的同伴，如同我憐憫了你一樣嗎？他的主人大怒，遂把他交給刑役，直到他還清所欠的一切。如果你們不各自從心裏寬恕自己的弟兄，我的天父也要這樣對待你們。」
耶穌講完這些話以後，就離開加里肋亞，來到約旦對岸的猶太境內。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 18:21-19:1

Peter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times. That is why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow servant put in prison until he paid back the debt. Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?’ Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart.”
When Jesus finished these words, he left Galilee and went to the district of Judea across the Jordan.

神父講道 – 聖母蒙召升天節 (節日) (週三) (2018年8月15日)

聖母蒙召升天節 (節日)

恭讀聖路加福音　1:39-56

瑪利亞就在那幾日起身，急速往山區去，到了猶大的一座城。她進入匝加利亞的家，就向依撒伯爾請安。
依撒伯爾一聽到瑪利亞請安，胎兒就在她腹中歡躍。依撒伯爾於是充滿了聖神，高聲說：
「在女人中，你是蒙祝福的，你的胎兒，也是蒙祝福的。我主的母親，駕臨我這裡，這是我那裡得來的呢？看，你請安的聲音，一入我耳，胎兒就在我腹中，歡喜踴躍。那信了由上主傳於她的話必要完成的，是有福的。」
瑪利亞於是說：
「我的靈魂頌揚上主，我的心神歡躍於天主，我的救主，因為他垂顧了她婢女的卑微，今後萬世萬代都要稱我有福；因全能者在我身上，行了大事，他的名字是聖的，他的仁慈世世代代於無窮世，賜與敬畏他的人。
「他伸出了手臂，施展大能，驅散那些心高氣傲的人。他從高座上，推下權勢者，卻舉揚了卑微貧困的人。他曾使飢餓者，飽饗美物，反使那富有者，空手而去。
「他曾回憶起自己的仁慈，扶助了他的僕人以色列，正如他向我們祖先所說過的恩許，施恩於亞巴郎和他的子孫，直到永遠。」
瑪利亞同依撒伯爾，住了三個月左右，就回家去了。

—上主的話。

(Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:39-56

Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”
And Mary said:
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.”
Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
