聖庇護神父
福音：路9:1-6

今天是常年期第廿五周星期三。教會在今天慶祝聖庇護神父的紀念日。最近出版的彌撒經書告訴我們：聖庇護（1887–1968），通稱庇護神父，生於義大利坎帕尼亞的皮耶特雷爾奇納，後加入莫爾科內的嘉布遣會團體。他于1910年晉鐸，六年後遷往加爾加諾半島的聖若望·羅通多。他身負基督苦難的印痕（即聖痕），以聽告解、神修指導及顯行神跡而著稱。1956年，他在會院旁創辦了“減輕病苦之家”。儘管他深受信眾愛戴，卻也遭遇諸多反對，甚至來自教會當局。他于2002年被冊封聖品。

今天，取自聖路加福音的經文向我們描繪了耶穌派遣祂的首批門徒的訓誨。讓我們來進行反思。

首先，路加告訴我們：耶穌召集十二宗徒，賜給他們權柄和能力，制伏一切魔鬼，並能治好疾病。（參看：路9:1）

我們知道，以色列有十二支派。耶穌也同樣召集了十二門徒，把他們派遣到以色列的十二支派中間。祂賜給他們權柄和能力，制伏一切魔鬼。哪些是魔鬼呢？就是指阻礙我們認識天主，阻礙我們走向天主的金錢，財富，名望，社會地位，各種虛榮，以及各種把我們禁錮的意識形態。

除此之外，耶穌派遣祂的門徒去宣講天國，並醫治病人。（參看：路9:2）顯然，這是今天我們每個基督徒一生要去完成的使命。我們不僅要效法五傷聖庇護神父那樣，度神貧的生活，以此向世界宣講耶穌所說的天主的世界，使那些生活在魔鬼權下之人的靈魂，不再如同癩病人那樣滿是罪惡的毒瘡，而是滿是天主賜下的各種恩典。

全能永生的天主，祢以獨特的恩典，使聖庇護司鐸分享祢聖子的十字架，並藉他的牧職，更新了祢慈悲的奇跡。藉他的轉禱，求祢使我們常與基督的苦難結合，因而歡欣進入復活的光榮。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。

全能永生的天主，祢以独特的恩典，使圣庇护司铎分享祢圣子的十字架，并藉他的牧职，更新了祢慈悲的奇迹。藉他的转祷，求祢使我们常与基督的苦难结合，因而欢欣进入复活的光荣。藉着祢的子，我们的主耶稣基督，祂和祢及圣神，是天主，永生永王。亚孟。

Memorial of Saint Pius of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio)
Gospel: Luke 9:1–6

Today is Wednesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates the Memorial of Saint Pius. As the recently published Roman Missal recounts: Saint Pius (1887–1968), better known as Padre Pio, was born in Pietrelcina, Campania, Italy, and joined the Capuchin community at Marcone. Ordained to the priesthood in 1910, he moved six years later to San Giovanni Rotondo on the Gargano peninsula. Bearing the marks of Christ’s Passion on his body—known as the stigmata—he became renowned for his ministry in the confessional, spiritual direction, and the miracles wrought through him. In 1956, he founded the “Home to Relieve Suffering” adjacent to his friary. Despite his widespread devotion among the faithful, he faced considerable opposition, even from Church authorities. He was canonized in 2002.

Today, the passage from the Gospel of Saint Luke sets before us the Lord’s instruction to his first disciples. Let us reflect on this reading.

First, Luke tells us: Jesus summoned the Twelve Apostles and gave them authority and power over all demons, and to cure diseases. (cf. Luke 9:1)

We know that Israel was composed of twelve tribes. In the same way, Jesus called twelve disciples and sent them to the twelve tribes of Israel. He gave them authority to overcome all the forces of evil. What are these “demons”? They are the things that hinder us from knowing God and drawing near to him: money, wealth, fame, social status, every form of vanity, and all the ideologies that hold us captive.

Beyond this, Jesus sent his disciples to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. (cf. Luke 9:2) Clearly, this is the mission every Christian is called to fulfil throughout our lives. We are called to imitate Saint Pius, who bore the five wounds of Christ, by embracing a life of evangelical poverty, and thus proclaim to the world the reign of God that Jesus preached. In this way, the souls of those who live under the power of evil will no longer be like lepers covered in the sores of sin but will be filled instead with every grace God bestows.

Almighty ever-living God, who, by a singular grace,
gave the Priest Saint Pio a share in the Cross of your Son
and, by means of his ministry,
renewed the wonders of your mercy,
grant that through his intercession
we may be united constantly to the sufferings of Christ,
and so brought happily to the glory of the resurrection.
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.

常年期第廿五周星期二
福音：路8:19-21

今天是常年期第廿五周星期二。取自聖路加福音的經文向我們展現了兩個分屬不同世界的人在時空中的相遇。我願意借此提供一些反思。

首先，路加告訴我們：耶穌的母親和祂的兄弟到祂那裡，但因為人群擁擠，無法靠近祂。（參看：路8:19）聖史想告訴我們：來自納匝肋的聖母瑪利亞和祂的兄弟，聽聞耶穌在葛法翁所做的一切，以為祂“發狂”了，便想抓住祂。（參看：谷3:21）這恰恰是如今生活在這變幻塵世的基督徒所面臨的境況。因為他們也經常受到世俗權勢的挑戰，這世界的元首及其使者，時常使他們纏縛於骨肉親情之中，令他們將精力聚焦于與父母家人的親情，而非將信仰的核心置於我們與天主的關係之上。

今天，耶穌告訴我們：“我的母親，我的兄弟，是那些聽了天主的話而實行的人。”（參看：路8:21）我們很容易從字面上理解這話，以為耶穌在說：“我不認識我的母親，也不認識我的兄弟。”事實恰恰相反，富於仁慈的主基督，以此隱晦的方式稱揚祂可愛的母親。榮福的至聖童貞，當她由天使口中得知即將成為天主的母親時，謙恭地說：“看！上主的婢女，願照祢的話成就於我吧！”（參看：路1:26-38）耶穌誕生後，藉著她的轉禱，在若望記述的福音中，於加里肋亞的迦納，彰顯了祂的第一個神跡。（參看：若2:1-12）祂更想告訴我們：只有我們真心接受祂所宣講的天國，真心實意地活出祂的聖言，我們才不致如同納匝肋人那樣生活。因為那時，我們雖然身處這變幻塵世，卻已預嘗天國的神樂；我們不再隨從肉性的偏情，而是順從聖神的引導，體貼聖神的事，師法聖母，在一切事上承行天主的聖意，從而真成了耶穌的兄弟、姊妹和母親。

天主，祢神聖法律的全部誡命，都系於愛祢和愛我們的近人，求祢使我們遵守祢的規條，配得永生。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。

福音：路8:19-21

今天是常年期第廿五周星期二。取自圣路加福音的经文向我们展现了两个分属不同世界的人在时空中的相遇。我愿意借此提供一些反思。

首先，路加告诉我们：耶稣的母亲和祂的兄弟到祂那里，但因为人群拥挤，无法靠近祂。（参看：路8:19）圣史想告诉我们：来自纳匝肋的圣母玛利亚和祂的兄弟，听闻耶稣在葛法翁所做的一切，以为祂“发狂”了，便想抓住祂。（参看：谷3:21）这恰恰是如今生活在这变幻尘世的基督徒所面临的境况。因为他们也经常受到世俗权势的挑战，这世界的元首及其使者，时常使他们缠缚于骨肉亲情之中，令他们将精力聚焦于与父母家人的亲情，而非将信仰的核心置于我们与天主的关系之上。

今天，耶稣告诉我们：“我的母亲，我的兄弟，是那些听了天主的话而实行的人。”（参看：路8:21）我们很容易从字面上理解这话，以为耶稣在说：“我不认识我的母亲，也不认识我的兄弟。”事实恰恰相反，富于仁慈的主基督，以此隐晦的方式称扬祂可爱的母亲。荣福的至圣童贞，当她由天使口中得知即将成为天主的母亲时，谦恭地说：“看！上主的婢女，愿照祢的话成就于我吧！”（参看：路1:26-38）耶稣诞生后，藉着她的转祷，在若望记述的福音中，于加里肋亚的加纳，彰显了祂的第一个神迹。（参看：若2:1-12）祂更想告诉我们：只有我们真心接受祂所宣讲的天国，真心实意地活出祂的圣言，我们才不致如同纳匝肋人那样生活。因为那时，我们虽然身处这变幻尘世，却已预尝天国的神乐；我们不再随从肉性的偏情，而是顺从圣神的引导，体贴圣神的事，师法圣母，在一切事上承行天主的圣意，从而真成了耶稣的兄弟、姊妹和母亲。

天主，祢神圣法律的全部诫命，都系于爱祢和爱我们的近人，求祢使我们遵守祢的规条，配得永生。藉着祢的子，我们的主耶稣基督，祢和祂及圣神，是天主，永生永王。亚孟。

Tuesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Luke 8:19–21

Today is Tuesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time. The passage from the Gospel of Saint Luke presents us with an encounter in time and space between two groups belonging to distinct realms. I would like to offer some reflections on this reading.

First, Luke tells us: Jesus’ mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. (cf. Luke 8:19) The Evangelist wishes to show us that Mary, the Virgin Mother from Nazareth, and his brothers, having heard reports of all Jesus was doing in Capernaum, thought he was out of his mind and sought to restrain him. (cf. Mark 3:21) This mirrors the very situation faced by Christians living in this passing world today. For we too are constantly challenged by the secular powers: the ruler of this age and his agents often entangle us in the bonds of kinship, directing our energies toward the familial love we share with our parents and family, rather than fixing the heart of our faith on our relationship with God.

Today, Jesus declares: “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.” (cf. Luke 8:21) It is easy to take these words literally, assuming Jesus means: “I do not recognize my mother, nor do I recognize my brothers.” The reality is quite the opposite. Our Lord Christ, rich in mercy, uses this veiled expression to extol his beloved Mother. The Blessed and Most Holy Virgin, when told by the Angel that she was to become the Mother of God, humbly replied: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” (cf. Luke 1:26–38) After Jesus’ birth, through her intercession, he performed his first sign at Cana in Galilee, as recorded in the Gospel of John. (cf. John 2:1–12) He wishes to teach us that only by genuinely receiving the Kingdom he proclaims, and living out his word with sincere hearts, can we avoid living like the people of Nazareth. For then, though we dwell in this passing world, we foretaste the joys of the Kingdom of Heaven. We will no longer follow the desires of the flesh, but will be led by the Holy Spirit, setting our minds on the things of the Spirit. Imitating the Mother of God, we will do the will of the Father in all things, and thus truly become his brothers, sisters, and mother.

O God, who founded all the commands of your sacred Law
upon love of you and of our neighbor,
grant that, by keeping your precepts,
we may merit to attain eternal life.
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

聖瑪竇宗徒（慶日）
福音：瑪9:9-13

今天是常年期第廿五周星期一。教會在今天慶祝聖瑪竇宗徒的慶日。最近出版的彌撒經告訴我們：聖瑪竇（一世紀），又稱肋未，是阿爾斐的兒子。他在葛法翁遇到耶穌時，正替羅馬人收稅；這份職業在當時很被人看不起。可是，耶穌基督卻召叫他成為宗徒。耶穌升天後，他可能去了波斯或衣索比亞傳教；無論走到哪裡，他最終都為信仰獻出了生命。聖瑪竇寫的福音，排在新約聖經的第一部，他的名字也和其他宗徒一起，列在羅馬禮典的禱詞中。

今天，聖史瑪竇用他所寫的福音經文，向我們描繪了他蒙召的過程。我願意借此機會提供一些反思。

首先，瑪竇告訴我們：那時候，耶穌路過葛法翁，看見一個名叫瑪竇的人坐在稅關上，就對他說：“跟隨我！”他就起來跟隨了耶穌。（參看：瑪9:9）

在這裡，我們看到了那個熟悉的地方——葛法翁。葛法翁是個漁夫和農夫的村莊，沿著革乃撒肋（加里肋亞）湖的西岸延伸約三百米。在加里肋亞，住著許多被以色列人視為“半外邦人”的百姓，因為他們的血統混雜了多個民族。他們被看作生活在黑暗與無知中的百姓。耶穌開始公開生活後，葛法翁幾乎成了祂活動的中心。瑪竇在他的神學觀中，將這住所的改變——這個看似微不足道的事實——解讀為：“生活在黑暗中的百姓，看到了浩光；光明已照射在生活在死亡陰影下的人身上。”（參看：瑪4:16）耶穌首先揀選並光照的，並非純種的猶太人，而是那些被排斥、被疏遠的人。瑪竇正是其中之一。他之所以被排擠，是因為他是稅吏。稅吏是羅馬共和國和帝國時期的公務人員。在官方職責中，他們常為羅馬軍團提供物資，管理港口稅，監督公共工程，並承包各省的稅收。到了新約時代，百姓主要視他們為收稅者。他們被視為公開的罪人，不僅因為出賣同胞利益，更因為他們除了上繳羅馬索要的款項外，還將多收的部分據為己有。

今天，耶穌主動走近瑪竇。祂沒有用動人的話語吸引他，只說了一句：“跟隨我！”瑪竇因著這一聲召叫，立刻捨棄一切跟隨了祂。瑪竇之所以選擇跟隨耶穌，一方面是因為耶穌也是猶太人。鑒於他長期遭受同胞的孤立，當看到一位同胞來到自己面前發出邀請時，這促使他毅然放棄所有，選擇與耶穌同行，為我們立下了榜樣。

今天，耶穌也邀請我們與祂同行。祂更願意與那些像瑪竇一樣被社會孤立、被邊緣化的人相遇。祂來到瑪竇家中與他共餐，以此吸引許多稅吏和罪人歸向祂。（參看：瑪9:10）由此，我們可以得出結論：基督徒無法獨自生活在教會內，他需要經常領受基督的聖體聖血，以此維繫靈魂的活力，加深與天主聖言的關係。如此，當他在生活中，尤其是信仰生活中遇到挑戰時，便能真正做到無恐無懼。因為在那時候，我們的主耶穌基督與他同在。我們知道：耶穌基督和祂的福音所到之處，魔鬼和一切敵基督的勢力必然消退。

天主，祢以無可言喻的慈愛，樂意垂選稅吏聖瑪竇為宗徒。我們懇求祢，藉他的榜樣與轉禱，使我們持之以恆，相稱地追隨祢。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。

圣玛窦宗徒（庆日）
福音：玛9:9-13

今天是常年期第廿五周星期一。教会在今天庆祝圣玛窦宗徒的庆日。最近出版的弥撒经告诉我们：圣玛窦（一世纪），又称肋未，是阿尔斐的儿子。他在葛法翁遇到耶稣时，正替罗马人收税；这份职业在当时很被人看不起。可是，耶稣基督却召叫他成为宗徒。耶稣升天后，他可能去了波斯或埃塞俄比亚传教；无论走到哪里，他最终都为信仰献出了生命。圣玛窦写的福音，排在新约圣经的第一部，他的名字也和其他宗徒一起，列在罗马礼典的祷词中。

今天，圣史玛窦用他所写的福音经文，向我们描绘了他蒙召的过程。我愿意借此机会提供一些反思。

首先，玛窦告诉我们：那时候，耶稣路过葛法翁，看见一个名叫玛窦的人坐在税关上，就对他说：“跟随我！”他就起来跟随了耶稣。（参看：玛9:9）

在这里，我们看到了那个熟悉的地方——葛法翁。葛法翁是个渔夫和农夫的村庄，沿着革乃撒肋（加里肋亚）湖的西岸延伸约三百米。在加里肋亚，住着许多被以色列人视为“半外邦人”的百姓，因为他们的血统混杂了多个民族。他们被看作生活在黑暗与无知中的百姓。耶稣开始公开生活后，葛法翁几乎成了祂活动的中心。玛窦在他的神学观中，将这住所的改变——这个看似微不足道的事实——解读为：“生活在黑暗中的百姓，看到了浩光；光明已照射在生活在死亡阴影下的人身上。”（参看：玛4:16）耶稣首先拣选并光照的，并非纯种的犹太人，而是那些被排斥、被疏远的人。玛窦正是其中之一。他之所以被排挤，是因为他是税吏。税吏是罗马共和国和帝国时期的公务人员。在官方职责中，他们常为罗马军团提供物资，管理港口税，监督公共工程，并承包各省的税收。到了新约时代，百姓主要视他们为收税者。他们被视为公开的罪人，不仅因为出卖同胞利益，更因为他们除了上缴罗马索要的款项外，还将多收的部分据为己有。

今天，耶稣主动走近玛窦。祂没有用动人的话语吸引他，只说了一句：“跟随我！”玛窦因着这一声召叫，立刻舍弃一切跟随了祂。玛窦之所以选择跟随耶稣，一方面是因为耶稣也是犹太人。鉴于他长期遭受同胞的孤立，当看到一位同胞来到自己面前发出邀请时，这促使他毅然放弃所有，选择与耶稣同行，为我们立下了榜样。

今天，耶稣也邀请我们与祂同行。祂更愿意与那些像玛窦一样被社会孤立、被边缘化的人相遇。祂来到玛窦家中与他共餐，以此吸引许多税吏和罪人归向祂。（参看：玛9:10）由此，我们可以得出结论：基督徒无法独自生活在教会内，他需要经常领受基督的圣体圣血，以此维系灵魂的活力，加深与天主圣言的关系。如此，当他在生活中，尤其是信仰生活中遇到挑战时，便能真正做到无恐无惧。因为在那时候，我们的主耶稣基督与他同在。我们知道：耶稣基督和祂的福音所到之处，魔鬼和一切敌基督的势力必然消退。

天主，祢以无可言喻的慈爱，乐意垂选税吏圣玛窦为宗徒。我们恳求祢，藉他的榜样与转祷，使我们持之以恒，相称地追随祢。藉着祢的子，我们的主耶稣基督，祢和祂及圣神，是天主，永生永王。亚孟。

Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle
Gospel: Matthew 9:9–13

Today is Monday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates the Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle. As the recently published Roman Missal recounts: Saint Matthew (1st century), also called Levi, was the son of Alphaeus. When he encountered Jesus in Capernaum, he was working as a tax collector for the Romans — a profession held in deep contempt at the time. Yet Jesus Christ called him to be an Apostle. After the Ascension, he likely travelled to Persia or Ethiopia to preach the Gospel; wherever he went, he ultimately gave his life for the faith. The Gospel written by Saint Matthew stands first in the New Testament, and his name is listed among the other Apostles in the prayers of the Roman Canon.

Today, Saint Matthew the Evangelist uses the very Gospel he wrote to offer us his own account of his vocation. I would like to share some reflections on this reading.

First, Matthew tells us: At that time, as Jesus passed through Capernaum, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. He said to him, “Follow me.” And Matthew got up and followed him. (cf. Matthew 9:9)

Here we meet that familiar place — Capernaum. A village of fishermen and farmers, Capernaum stretched roughly 300 meters along the western shore of Lake Gennesaret (Galilee). Galilee was home to many people the Israelites regarded as “half-Gentile”, since their lineage was a mix of many peoples. They were seen as people living in darkness and ignorance. After Jesus began his public ministry, Capernaum became the center of his work. In his theological reflection, Matthew interprets this change of residence — a seemingly insignificant detail — as the fulfilment of prophecy: “The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light; on those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light has dawned.” (cf. Matthew 4:16) The first to receive Jesus’ light and choosing were not the “pure-blooded” Jews, but those who were rejected and cast out. Matthew was one of them. He was ostracized because he was a tax collector. In the Roman Republic and later the Empire, tax collectors were public officials: they supplied provisions to Roman legions, oversaw port duties, supervised public works, and contracted to collect provincial taxes for Rome. By the New Testament era, local people knew them chiefly as revenue agents. They were regarded as open sinners: not only did they betray their fellow countrymen’s interests, but they also extorted more than Rome required and kept the surplus for themselves.

Today, Jesus approaches Matthew unprompted. He does not use eloquent words to win him over — he simply says, “Follow me!” At this call, Matthew immediately leaves everything behind to follow him. His choice to follow Jesus was, in part, because Jesus was a fellow Jew. Given his long-standing isolation from his own people, seeing a Jewish man come to him with an invitation moved him to resolutely surrender all he had and walk with Jesus, setting us a clear example to follow.

Jesus extends this same invitation to us today. He has a special closeness to those who, like Matthew, are isolated or marginalized by society. He went to Matthew’s house and ate with him, drawing many tax collectors and sinners to himself in the process. (cf. Matthew 9:10) From this we can draw a clear conclusion: no Christian can live the life of faith alone in the Church. We need to regularly receive the Body and Blood of Christ, to nourish our souls and deepen our communion with the Word of God. In this way, when we face trials in life — especially in our faith journey — we can remain unafraid. For in those moments, our Lord Jesus Christ is with us. We know that wherever Jesus Christ and his Gospel are proclaimed, the devil and all the powers of the Antichrist are driven out.

O God, who with untold mercy
were pleased to choose as an Apostle
Saint Matthew, the tax collector,
grant that, sustained by his example and intercession,
we may merit to hold firm in following you.
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.

常年期第廿五主日
福音：瑪20:1-16a

今天是常年期第廿五主日。取自聖瑪竇福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌所說的一個比喻。這使我想到當下基督徒生活的常態。因為我們現今所處的變幻塵世，除了血肉親情以外，還存在著雇主和雇員之間的關係。這裡講論的雇員，就是雇主從人才市場招募，或者那些因各種原因失業的，他們通過互聯網、線下招聘會、企業內部推薦，尋找那些與他們求職意向相符的職缺資訊，並通過互聯網求職平臺、或通過電子郵件、或通過書信遞送自己的簡歷，好使自己能最終進入心中想往的公司。這裡講論的雇主，就是那些發佈職缺資訊的人，他們如同耶穌給祂門徒所設比喻中的家主一樣（參看：瑪20:1-7），從人才市場招募各類人才，為能滿足生產經營的需要。

今天，耶穌所說的園主，就是天主，祂邀請那些“照自己的形象造成的人”（參看：創1:27-28）來到自己的葡萄園中從事各項工作。那些受到邀請的人，就是那些在此變幻塵世，藉刻苦的補贖和祈禱，或在某一個時刻聽到了天主對他們的邀請的人，當他們接受此一邀請，便是慷慨地回應聖召，當他們進入葡萄園裡工作時，便是在按照他們認為正確的方式，完成天主交托給他們的使命。

有一次，我在某個堂區與一些輔祭弟兄交流的時候，有些輔祭弟兄經常抱怨說：“我比別的輔祭兄弟來得都早，我經常準備各種禮儀用品，可是，我的本堂神父並沒有誇獎我，更沒有表揚我。他反而表揚那些比我後加入堂區禮儀組的弟兄。”我想，這就是今天福音經文中，那些抱怨園主善待那最後一小時才被招到葡萄園裡工作的工人所持的心態（參看：瑪20:12），因為在他們看來，他們本該得到更多收入。

今天，我想對這些抱怨本堂神父不公的輔祭弟兄說：“你善用了天主賞賜給你的才智，勤勉服務堂區，天主定會按照你所做的一切賞報你。可是，你也要為那些後進的弟兄祈求，好使他也能和你一樣，充滿對天主聖言，對天主祭台的熱忱。因為只有這樣，在你心中的天主聖言的種子就會結出更多豐碩的果實。如此，你便是贏得了你的弟兄。”我更想邀請他和我們一起向天主祈求說：

天主，祢神聖法律的全部誡命，都系於愛祢和愛我們的近人，求祢使我們遵守祢的規條，配得永生。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。
