恭讀聖路加福音 12:13-21

那時候,人群中有一個人,向耶穌說:「師父,請吩咐我的兄弟,與我分家吧!」
耶穌對他說:「人哪,誰派我做你們的判官,為你們分家呢?」
於是,耶穌對群眾說:「你們要謹慎,躲避一切貪婪,因為一個人縱然富裕,他的生命並不在於他的資產。」
耶穌對群眾講了一個比喻,說:「有一個富翁,他的田地出產豐富。他心裡想:我可怎麼辦呢?因為我已沒有地方,收藏我的物產。於是,他說:我要這樣做:我要拆毀我的倉庫,另建更大的,這樣就能夠收藏我的一切穀物和財產了。然後,我要對我的靈魂說:靈魂哪!你存有大量財物,足夠多年之用,你休息吧!吃喝宴樂吧!
「天主卻對他說:糊塗人哪!今夜就要收回你的靈魂,你所儲備的,將歸誰呢?
「那些只為自己累積財產,而不在天主前致富的人,也是如此。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 12:13-21

Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.” He replied to him, “Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?” Then he said to the crowd, “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”
Then he told them a parable. “There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, ‘What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?’ And he said, ‘This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods and I shall say to myself, “Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!”’ But God said to him, ‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’ Thus will it be for all who store up treasure for themselves but are not rich in what matters to God.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
