神父講道 – 常年期第十九週 (週二) (2019年8月13日)

恭讀聖瑪竇福音 18:1-5,10,12-14

就在那時刻,門徒來到耶穌跟前說:「在天國裏究竟誰是最大的?」耶穌就叫一個小孩來,使他站在他們中間,說:「我實在告訴你們:你們若不悔改而變成如同小孩一樣,你們決不能進天國。所以,誰若自謙自卑如同這一個小孩,這人就是天國中最大的。無論誰因我的名字,收留一個這樣的小孩,就是收留我。你們小心!不要輕視這些小子中的一個,因為我告訴你們:他們的天使在天上,常見我在天之父的面。」
耶穌又說:「你們以為如何?如果一個人有一百隻羊,其中一隻迷失了路,他豈不把那九十九隻羊留在山上,而去尋找那隻迷失了路的嗎?如果他幸運找著了,我實在告訴你們:他為這一隻,比為那九十九隻沒有迷路的,更覺歡喜;同樣,使這些小子中的一個喪亡,決不是你們在天之父的意願。」

—上主的話。

(19th Week in Ordinary Time – Tuesday)

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 18:1-5,10,12-14

The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
