聖周星期二
福音:若13:21-33,36-38

今天是聖周星期二。取自聖若望的福音經文向我們展示了耶穌和祂的門徒共進晚餐的場景。我願意藉此機會,提供一些反思。

當我們參與天主子民的集會時,天主時常透過那些祂揀選的牧者,按照我們所能理解的語言向我們宣講天國的福音,幫助我們通過觀察他們的外在行為分辨天主的聖意。幾時我們按照自己對天主聖意的理解,並試圖按照我們的心思意念猜度天主的聖意時,我們便如同今日晚餐時,那些想要從耶穌的口中得知負賣者的門徒(參看:若13:21-26)一樣,為能使自己那煩躁的心,得到片刻的安寧。因為我們很渴望能從那些與我們朝夕相處的人那裡,得知天國的真相,卻不願意隨從天主聖神的引導,按照天主向我們啟示的一切,在塵世生活中分辨天主賞賜給我們每個人的聖召。

也許我們很難理解耶穌為何突然說:“現在人子受到了光榮,天主也在人子身上受到了光榮。”(參看:若13:31)這句話的含義。但當我們細細思考我們過往的信仰生活時,便能理解這話的含義了。因為我們都在天主的聖愛內,領受基督的聖洗,藉由從祂被洞開的聖肋流出的聖肋之水,洗淨我們的原罪,都領受了天主聖神的傅油,如此,我們便有資格領受基督的聖體聖血,重新佩戴上屬於天主兒女的義德。每當我們領受基督的聖體聖血,我們就是在慶祝耶穌基督在我們身上彰顯祂的光榮,祂替我們戰勝了死亡,恢復了我們的生命。如此,天主的光榮,在我們這些雖然生活在此變幻塵世,已體驗到天主的光榮的天主兒女身上,充分彰顯出來。因為那帶有罪惡死狀的舊我,已在聖洗水池中與基督同葬,我們離開聖洗水池時,就徹底擺脫罪惡帶給我們的羈絆,重新獲得天主的兒女的自由。

全能永生的天主,求祢恩准我們舉行救主受難的奧跡,好使我們有資格得到祢的寬恕。藉著祢的子,我們的主耶穌基督,祢和祂及聖神,是天主,永生永王。亞孟。

圣周星期二
福音:若13:21-33,36-38

今天是圣周星期二。取自圣若望的福音经文向我们展示了耶稣和祂的门徒共进晚餐的场景。我愿意藉此机会,提供一些反思。

当我们参与天主子民的集会时,天主时常透过那些祂拣选的牧者,按照我们所能理解的语言向我们宣讲天国的福音,帮助我们通过观察他们的外在行为分辨天主的圣意。几时我们按照自己对天主圣意的理解,并试图按照我们的心思意念猜度天主的圣意时,我们便如同今日晚餐时,那些想要从耶稣的口中得知负卖者的门徒(参看:若13:21-26)一样,为能使自己那烦躁的心,得到片刻的安宁。因为我们很渴望能从那些与我们朝夕相处的人那里,得知天国的真相,却不愿意随从天主圣神的引导,按照天主向我们启示的一切,在尘世生活中分辨天主赏赐给我们每个人的圣召。

也许我们很难理解耶稣为何突然说:“现在人子受到了光荣,天主也在人子身上受到了光荣。”(参看:若13:31)这句话的含义。但当我们细细思考我们过往的信仰生活时,便能理解这话的含义了。因为我们都在天主的圣爱内,领受基督的圣洗,藉由从祂被洞开的圣肋流出的圣肋之水,洗净我们的原罪,都领受了天主圣神的傅油,如此,我们便有资格领受基督的圣体圣血,重新佩戴上属于天主儿女的义德。每当我们领受基督的圣体圣血,我们就是在庆祝耶稣基督在我们身上彰显祂的光荣,祂替我们战胜了死亡,恢复了我们的生命。如此,天主的光荣,在我们这些虽然生活在此变幻尘世,已体验到天主的光荣的天主儿女身上,充分彰显出来。因为那带有罪恶死状的旧我,已在圣洗水池中与基督同葬,我们离开圣洗水池时,就彻底摆脱罪恶带给我们的羁绊,重新获得天主的儿女的自由。

Coffee with God:March 31, 2026

March 31, 2026
Holy Tuesday of Holy Week
Gospel: John 13:21-33, 36-38

Today is Holy Tuesday of Holy Week. The passage from the Gospel of St. John presents to us the scene of Jesus dining with His disciples. I wish to take this opportunity to offer some reflections.

When we participate in the assemblies of the People of God, God often proclaims the Gospel of the Kingdom to us through His chosen shepherds, in a language we can understand, helping us discern His will by observing their outward conduct. Yet when we rely on our own understanding of God’s will and attempt to guess it according to our own thoughts and desires—like the disciples at this dinner, who sought to know from Jesus’ lips the identity of the betrayer (cf. Jn 13:21-26)—it is because we long for a moment of peace for our restless hearts. We yearn to learn the truth about the Kingdom from those close to us, yet we are unwilling to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, discerning in our earthly lives the vocation each of us has received from God, in accordance with all that God has revealed to us.

Perhaps we find it difficult to understand why Jesus suddenly said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in Him” (cf. Jn 13:31). But as we reflect deeply on our past faith journey, we can grasp its meaning. For we have all, in the love of God, received Christian Baptism: washed clean of original sin by the water flowing from His pierced Sacred Side, anointed with the Holy Spirit, and thus made worthy to receive the Body and Blood of Christ, putting on anew the righteousness of children of God. Each time we receive the Body and Blood of Christ, we celebrate the manifestation of His glory in us—He who conquered death for us and restored our life. In this way, the glory of God is fully manifested in us, His children, who though living in this changing world have already experienced His glory. For the old self, marked by the death of sin, was buried with Christ in the waters of Baptism; when we emerged from the baptismal font, we were freed from the bondage of sin and regained the freedom of children of God.

Almighty ever-living God, grant us so to celebrate the mysteries of the Lord’s Passion that we may merit to receive your pardon. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,God, for ever and ever
