常年期第十三周星期三
福音：瑪8:28-34

今天是常年期第十三周星期三。取自聖瑪竇福音的經文向我們展示了耶穌來到外邦人的地區，與兩個生活在墳墓裡的人相遇的敘事。我願意借此機會，提供一些反思。

瑪竇告訴我們：耶穌來到加達辣人地區（參看：瑪8:28）這是一個朝拜偶像的地區。他又告訴我們：這兩個人是從墳墓裡出來（同前），這意味著他們生活在一個沒有生命氣息的地方。我們知道：墳墓是死亡的入口，在墳墓裡沒有生命。那使人進入墳墓，失去生命的，是罪，罪源自魔鬼，使亞當和厄娃離開伊甸樂園的，正是魔鬼。

在這裡，我想稍引入聖路加對相同事件的敘述。聖路加告訴我們：魔鬼數次抓住他，他曾被鐵鍊和腳鐐捆縛，被人看管起來（參看：路8:29）這表明：這兩個附魔的人，他們不僅生活在沒有生命的環境中，更無法走向天主。在我們的生活中，同樣有阻礙我們走向天主的因素。哪些是阻礙我們走向天主，令我們朝天主咆哮的因素呢？就是出自我們心中的惡念。惡念會驅使我們的三司五官對抗天主，使我們的身體與天主為敵，致使我們也會如同那附魔者一樣，認為耶穌是來消滅我們的。

在瑪竇和路加的敘述中，我們看到，魔鬼向耶穌懇求說：“祢若驅逐我們，就打發我們進到那群豬吧。不要命令我們到深淵裡去”（參看：瑪8:31；路8:30）這使我想到原祖亞當和厄娃，他們犯罪以後，他們與天主之間的一番對話：亞當吃了那樹上的果子以後，上主天主呼喚亞當，對他說：“你在哪裡？”亞當回答說：“我在花園聽見祢的聲音；但我害怕，因為我赤身露體，就躲藏了。”天主遂問他說：“誰告訴了你赤身露體？你從那樹上吃了我禁止你吃的那樹上的果子！”亞當回答說：“是祢給我做伴的女人，她給了我那樹上的果子，我就吃了。”上主天主遂問那女人說：“妳為什麼做了這事？”那女人回答說：“是蛇欺騙了我，我才吃了。”於是，上主天主對那蛇說：“因你做了這事，你要被禁止與一切動物，一切野獸往來；你要用肚腹爬行，你要畢生日日吃土。我要將仇恨放在你和女人，你的後裔和她的後裔之間；祂要擊碎你的頭顱，你要擊打祂的腳跟。”（參看：創3:9-15）同樣的，我們也會把我們犯罪的原因歸咎給別人，要求別人替我們承擔後果，更不願意接受耶穌所說的天主，更會如同加達辣人一樣，要求耶穌離開我們，因為我們認為：天主是公義的天主，祂不是愛人的天主。

那麼，我們如何才能消除這樣的抵觸情緒呢？
首先：我們要接受當下的自己，接受自己的各種缺點。接著：向天主獻上祈禱，祈求天主聖言賜給我們力量，堅信天主聖言所在之處，魔鬼和一切與基督相對的因素，都將不復存在。第三：接納天主聖言，使天主聖言寓居在我們心中，使祂改變我們，使我們的心與祂的聖心合拍。最後：隨從天主聖神的引導，按照天主聖神的旨意，活出天主聖言，按照天主聖言的精神生活。那時，我們就不再對天主聖言有抵觸情緒，成了名副其實的基督徒。

天主，祢藉著養育之恩揀選我們成為光明之子。求祢賜下恩寵，使我們不陷入謬誤的黑暗，時常彰顯真理的光明。藉著祢的子，我們的主耶穌基督，祂和祢及聖神，是天主，永生永王。亞孟。

常年期第十三周星期三
福音：玛8:28-34

今天是常年期第十三周星期三。取自圣玛窦福音的经文向我们展示了耶稣来到外邦人的地区，与两个生活在坟墓里的人相遇的叙事。我愿意借此机会，提供一些反思。

玛窦告诉我们：耶稣来到加达辣人地区（参看：玛8:28）这是一个朝拜偶像的地区。他又告诉我们：这两个人是从坟墓里出来（同前），这意味着他们生活在一个没有生命气息的地方。我们知道：坟墓是死亡的入口，在坟墓里没有生命。那使人进入坟墓，失去生命的，是罪，罪源自魔鬼，使亚当和厄娃离开伊甸乐园的，正是魔鬼。

在这里，我想稍引入圣路加对相同事件的叙述。圣路加告诉我们：魔鬼数次抓住他，他曾被铁链和脚镣捆缚，被人看管起来（参看：路8:29）这表明：这两个附魔的人，他们不仅生活在没有生命的环境中，更无法走向天主。在我们的生活中，同样有阻碍我们走向天主的因素。哪些是阻碍我们走向天主，令我们朝天主咆哮的因素呢？就是出自我们心中的恶念。恶念会驱使我们的三司五官对抗天主，使我们的身体与天主为敌，致使我们也会如同那附魔者一样，认为耶稣是来消灭我们的。

在玛窦和路加的叙述中，我们看到，魔鬼向耶稣恳求说：“祢若驱逐我们，就打发我们进到那群猪吧。不要命令我们到深渊里去”（参看：玛8:31；路8:30）这使我想到原祖亚当和厄娃，他们犯罪以后，他们与天主之间的一番对话：亚当吃了那树上的果子以后，上主天主呼唤亚当，对他说：“你在哪里？”亚当回答说：“我在花园听见祢的声音；但我害怕，因为我赤身露体，就躲藏了。”天主遂问他说：“谁告诉了你赤身露体？你从那树上吃了我禁止你吃的那树上的果子！”亚当回答说：“是祢给我做伴的女人，她给了我那树上的果子，我就吃了。”上主天主遂问那女人说：“妳为什么做了这事？”那女人回答说：“是蛇欺骗了我，我才吃了。”于是，上主天主对那蛇说：“因你做了这事，你要被禁止与一切动物，一切野兽往来；你要用肚腹爬行，你要毕生日日吃土。我要将仇恨放在你和女人，你的后裔和她的后裔之间；祂要击碎你的头颅，你要击打祂的脚跟。”（参看：创3:9-15）同样的，我们也会把我们犯罪的原因归咎给别人，要求别人替我们承担后果，更不愿意接受耶稣所说的天主，更会如同加达辣人一样，要求耶稣离开我们，因为我们认为：天主是公义的天主，祂不是爱人的天主。

那么，我们如何才能消除这样的抵触情绪呢？
首先：我们要接受当下的自己，接受自己的各种缺点。接着：向天主献上祈祷，祈求天主圣言赐给我们力量，坚信天主圣言所在之处，魔鬼和一切与基督相对的因素，都将不复存在。第三：接纳天主圣言，使天主圣言寓居在我们心中，使祂改变我们，使我们的心与祂的圣心合拍。最后：随从天主圣神的引导，按照天主圣神的旨意，活出天主圣言，按照天主圣言的精神生活。那时，我们就不再对天主圣言有抵触情绪，成了名副其实的基督徒。

天主，祢借着养育之恩拣选我们成为光明之子。求祢赐下恩宠，使我们不陷入谬误的黑暗，时常彰显真理的光明。借着祢的子，我们的主耶稣基督，祂和祢及圣神，是天主，永生永王。亚孟。

Wednesday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Matthew 8:28-34

Today is Wednesday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time. The passage from the Gospel of Saint Matthew presents us with the narrative of Jesus’ arrival in Gentile territory and His encounter with two men living among the tombs. I would like to take this opportunity to offer some reflections.

Matthew tells us: Jesus came to the region of the Gadarenes (cf. Mt 8:28). This is a region given over to idolatry. He also tells us: these people came out from the tombs (ibid.), which means they were living in a place devoid of the breath of life. We know that tombs are the entrance to death; there is no life in the tombs. That which leads man into the tomb and deprives him of life is sin. Sin originates from the devil; it was the devil who caused Adam and Eve to leave the Garden of Eden.

Here, I would like to briefly introduce the account of the same event by Saint Luke. Saint Luke tells us: the demon had seized him many times; he had been bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard (cf. Lk 8:29). This shows: these two possessed men were not only living in an environment without life but were even unable to turn toward God. In our lives, there are likewise factors that hinder us from turning toward God. What are the factors that hinder us from turning toward God, causing us to snarl at God? They are the evil thoughts that come from our hearts. Evil thoughts drive our faculties and senses to rebel against God, setting our bodies in opposition to God, causing us, like those possessed, to think that Jesus has come to destroy us.

In the narratives of both Matthew and Luke, we see the demons pleading with Jesus, saying: “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of swine. Do not command us to go into the abyss” (cf. Mt 8:31; Lk 8:30). This recalls our first parents Adam and Eve, and their dialogue with God after they had sinned: After Adam ate of the fruit of the tree, the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” Adam replied, “I heard Your voice in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself.” God then asked him, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten the tree of which I forbade you to eat?” Adam replied, “It was the woman whom You gave to be with me; she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” The Lord God then asked the woman, “Why did you do this?” The woman replied, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” Therefore, the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above all wild beasts; upon your belly you shall crawl, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall crush your head, and you shall strike at His heel” (cf. Gn 3:9-15). Likewise, we too attribute the cause of our sins to others, demanding that others bear the consequences for us, and are even more unwilling to accept the God proclaimed by Jesus. Like the Gadarenes, we may ask Jesus to leave us, because we think: God is a God of justice, not a God who loves man.

Then, how can we eliminate such feelings of resistance?

First: We must accept our present selves, accepting our various shortcomings. Next: Offer prayer to God, imploring the Word of God to grant us strength, firmly believing that where the Word of God is present, the devil and all factors contrary to Christ will cease to exist. Third: Welcome the Word of God, allowing the Word of God to dwell in our hearts, letting Him transform us, and making our hearts beat in tune with His Sacred Heart. Finally: Follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, living out the Word of God according to the will of the Holy Spirit, living according to the spirit of the Word of God. Then, we will no longer harbor resistance toward the Word of God but become Christians in the true sense of the word.

O God, who through the grace of adoption chose us to be children of light, grant, we pray, that we may not be wrapped in the darkness of error but always be seen to stand in the bright light of truth. 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
