常年期第廿七周星期三 玫瑰聖母(紀念)
福音:路11:1-4

今天是常年期第廿七周星期三。教會在今天慶祝玫瑰聖母的紀念日。最近出版的羅馬彌撒經書告訴我們:這個瞻禮原稱“勝利之後”,為的是紀念勒班陀海戰(1571年10月7日),當時基督徒艦隊擊敗了土耳其人。教宗聖庇護五世將這場勝利歸功於誦念《玫瑰經》。這一偉大的玫瑰經敬禮,有時被追溯至十三世紀聖道明及其同會會士,他們為對抗阿爾比派異端而講道;儘管它更可能是在十五世紀才形成了現今通行的形式。自那時起,它便傳遍全球,結出了豐碩成果,引領無數基督徒藉著榮福童貞聖母走向耶穌。

今天,取自聖路加福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌教導祂的門徒如何向天父祈禱的場景。 這個場景與我們今天舉行的瞻禮完美契合。我願意借此機會提供一些反思。

首先,路加告訴我們:

耶穌在一個地方祈禱,祈禱完了以後,祂的一個門徒對祂說:“主,教我們祈禱,如同若翰教自己的門徒一樣。”(參看:路11:1)

在聖史路加的筆下,我們很多次看到在祈禱中的耶穌。比如,耶穌在揀選十二宗徒前,祂上山祈禱,徹夜向天主祈禱。(參看:路6:12)又如:耶穌使五千人得到飽飫以後,祂也獨自一人祈禱(參看:路9:18)在今天的福音經文中,我們再一次看到耶穌在祈禱。顯然,路加想要藉此告訴我們:信仰生活中,祈禱很重要。

我們知道:在耶穌時代,那些來到耶穌跟前的門徒,他們已經有了新的生活方式,雖然有各種各樣源自舊約的祈禱,其最著名的當屬聖詠。或許若翰也曾教自己的門徒用聖詠祈禱,但是,耶穌從來沒有教過自己的門徒祈禱。因此,耶穌的門徒來到耶穌跟前,希望祂也能如同若翰那樣,教他們祈禱。

今天,耶穌教給門徒的祈禱,與法利賽人和撒杜賽人,以及耶穌時代拉比們的教導不同。祂邀請自己的門徒直接向天父獻上祈禱,向祂表達我們對祂的感激之情,感念祂從無形之中造了我們,感念賦給我們生命,以祂創造的天地萬物養育了我們,使我們能在生活在這個美好的世界上。並求祂賜給我們豐富的恩寵,好使我們能效法基督,使自己空虛,為能更好地領受天主賞賜給我們的恩寵,協助天主在世上進行的救贖工程,好使這尚在旅途中的教會,在世上繼續實踐基督教導她的一切,時時處處效師法基督,在世上勇敢地為真理作證,承行天主的聖意。

現在,讓我們來看看我們在向天主獻上祈禱的時候,我們向祂求什麼?我還記得,有一次和某位神父交談的時候,那位元在鄉間教堂服務的神父說:他曾看到有位弟兄為了報復自己的仇敵,要求他奉獻彌撒。這使我想到今天耶穌對我們發出的另一個邀請。祂邀請我們放下仇恨,尋求祂的聖言(參看:路11:3-4)因為只有祂的聖言,才能使我們浮躁的內心能真正地安靜下來,才能在內心深處聆聽天父與我們的交談,才能使我們能在變幻的塵世生活中,不至於迷失和跌倒。

我記得某位已故的神長對我的教導:我們生活在此變幻塵世,單憑我們自己向天主獻上祈禱,並不足夠,我們還需要榮福童貞聖母瑪利亞,降生聖言之母,玫瑰經之後的轉禱,因為耶穌時常俯允榮福童貞聖母瑪利亞替她兒女向祂獻上的祈禱。我願意在這位已故的神長教導的基礎上,進一步邀請各位主內弟兄姐妹:除了經由榮福童貞聖母瑪利亞的轉求以外,玫瑰經也是一種很好的補充,因為我們能從玫瑰經的二十端奧跡中看到基督聖容之美,從中汲取豐富的恩典。

這個瞻禮也使我想到歷代教宗有關玫瑰經的教導,我願意借此機會引用一些:

“玫瑰經是我最喜愛的祈禱。它是一個美妙的祈禱!它在簡樸的結構中,集中了整個福音資訊的全部深度……通過玫瑰經,信友獲得了豐盛的恩寵,仿佛是從救主母親的手中親自接過。在第三個千年開始之際,我把這封宗座牧函託付給你們,各教區的主教、神父和執事們,以及全體天主子民,希望大家重新發現玫瑰經之美。一個念玫瑰經的家庭能保持合一。因著將耶穌放在生活的中心,家庭能夠分享祂的喜樂與痛苦,將未來的希望交托在祂手中。願玫瑰經重回基督徒的家庭,使家庭成為宣講和實踐福音的學校。”(教宗聖若望保祿二世:《童貞瑪利亞的玫瑰經》宗座牧函,2002年10月16日)

“今天我們再次共同確認,聖玫瑰經不是一個屬於過去的、在懷舊中被記起的儀式。相反,玫瑰經正在經歷一個新的春天。這無疑是最具有說服力的跡象之一,表明新一代年輕人對耶穌基督和祂的母親瑪利亞充滿了熱愛。在當今這個支離破碎的世界裡,這個祈禱能夠幫助我們將基督置於生活的中心,就像聖母瑪利亞那樣。她曾在內心裡反復默想關於她兒子的一切。當我們誦念玫瑰經時,我們重溫了救恩史中那些重要且關鍵的時刻。它不僅讓我們把心轉向基督,更將真正的和平、和解與治癒帶給我們的心靈和這個世界。”(參看:教宗本篤十六世:《在羅馬聖母大殿誦念玫瑰經時的講話》2008年5月3日)

“親愛的弟兄姊妹們:5月份即將來臨,在這月份裡,天主子民特別熱切地表達他們對聖母瑪利亞的愛慕和敬意。在這個月裡,全家一起誦念玫瑰經已經成為一種傳統。在家庭中誦念玫瑰經的秘訣就在於‘簡樸’。在互聯網上很容易找到可以效法的優良祈禱模式。一同瞻仰基督的面容,並擁有一顆像聖母瑪利亞那樣的心,將使我們更深地在屬靈上凝聚為一個家庭,並幫助我們克服當前的考驗。我為你們所有人祈禱,特別是那些受苦最深的人。”(教宗方濟各:《致全體信友:在2020年5月份誦念玫瑰經》,2020年4月25日)

“聽到基督徒滿心虔敬、充滿信德的詠唱,同時手持燭火走向他們在天上的母親、耶穌在十字架上賜給我們的母親,這是多麼地慰藉人心。聖母的轉求絕非次要的;藉著聖母,對我們每個人而言,一切再次變得可能。”(參看:教宗良十四世:《在法國露德燭光遊行公念玫瑰經時的講話》,2026年9月27日)

在此玫瑰聖母的紀念日,讓我們遵循教宗們的訓誨,一起向天主獻上祈禱:

上主,我們懇求祢:把祢的恩寵傾注到我們心中,使藉天使的傳報得知祢聖子基督降生成人的我們,因榮福童貞瑪利亞的轉禱,藉祂的苦難與十字架,得達復活的榮耀。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。

常年期第廿七周星期三 玫瑰圣母(纪念)
福音:路11:1-4

今天是常年期第廿七周星期三。教会在今天庆祝玫瑰圣母的纪念日。最近出版的罗马弥撒经书告诉我们:这个瞻礼原称“胜利之后”,为的是纪念勒班陀海战(1571年10月7日),当时基督徒舰队击败了土耳其人。教宗圣庇护五世将这场胜利归功于诵念《玫瑰经》。这一伟大的玫瑰经敬礼,有时被追溯至十三世纪圣道明及其同会会士,他们为对抗阿尔比派异端而讲道;尽管它更可能是在十五世纪才形成了现今通行的形式。自那时起,它便传遍全球,结出了丰硕成果,引领无数基督徒藉着荣福童贞圣母走向耶稣。

今天,取自圣路加福音的经文给我们展现了耶稣教导祂的门徒如何向天父祈祷的场景。 这个场景与我们今天举行的瞻礼完美契合。我愿意借此机会提供一些反思。

首先,路加告诉我们:

耶稣在一个地方祈祷,祈祷完了以后,祂的一个门徒对祂说:“主,教我们祈祷,如同若翰教自己的门徒一样。”(参看:路11:1)

在圣史路加的笔下,我们很多次看到在祈祷中的耶稣。比如,耶稣在拣选十二宗徒前,祂上山祈祷,彻夜向天主祈祷。(参看:路6:12)又如:耶稣使五千人得到饱饫以后,祂也独自一人祈祷(参看:路9:18)在今天的福音经文中,我们再一次看到耶稣在祈祷。显然,路加想要藉此告诉我们:信仰生活中,祈祷很重要。

我们知道:在耶稣时代,那些来到耶稣跟前的门徒,他们已经有了新的生活方式,虽然有各种各样源自旧约的祈祷,其最著名的当属圣咏。或许若翰也曾教自己的门徒用圣咏祈祷,但是,耶稣从来没有教过自己的门徒祈祷。因此,耶稣的门徒来到耶稣跟前,希望祂也能如同若翰那样,教他们祈祷。

今天,耶稣教给门徒的祈祷,与法利赛人和撒杜赛人,以及耶稣时代拉比们的教导不同。祂邀请自己的门徒直接向天父献上祈祷,向祂表达我们对祂的感激之情,感念祂从无形之中造了我们,感念赋给我们生命,以祂创造的天地万物养育了我们,使我们能在生活在这个美好的世界上。并求祂赐给我们丰富的恩宠,好使我们能效法基督,使自己空虚,为能更好地领受天主赏赐给我们的恩宠,协助天主在世上进行的救赎工程,好使这尚在旅途中的教会,在世上继续实践基督教导她的一切,时时处处效师法基督,在世上勇敢地为真理作证,承行天主的圣意。

现在,让我们来看看我们在向天主献上祈祷的时候,我们向祂求什么?我还记得,有一次和某位神父交谈的时候,那位在乡间教堂服务的神父说:他曾看到有位弟兄为了报复自己的仇敌,要求他奉献弥撒。这使我想到今天耶稣对我们发出的另一个邀请。祂邀请我们放下仇恨,寻求祂的圣言(参看:路11:3-4)因为只有祂的圣言,才能使我们浮躁的内心能真正地安静下来,才能在内心深处聆听天父与我们的交谈,才能使我们能在变幻的尘世生活中,不至于迷失和跌倒。

我记得某位已故的神长对我的教导:我们生活在此变幻尘世,单凭我们自己向天主献上祈祷,并不足够,我们还需要荣福童贞圣母玛利亚,降生圣言之母,玫瑰经之后的转祷,因为耶稣时常俯允荣福童贞圣母玛利亚替她儿女向祂献上的祈祷。我愿意在这位已故的神长教导的基础上,进一步邀请各位主内弟兄姐妹:除了经由荣福童贞圣母玛利亚的转求以外,玫瑰经也是一种很好的补充,因为我们能从玫瑰经的二十端奥迹中看到基督圣容之美,从中汲取丰富的恩典。

这个瞻礼也使我想到历代教宗有关玫瑰经的教导,我愿意借此机会引用一些:

“玫瑰经是我最喜爱的祈祷。它是一个美妙的祈祷!它在简朴的结构中,集中了整个福音信息的全部深度……通过玫瑰经,信友获得了丰盛的恩宠,仿佛是从救主母亲的手中亲自接过。在第三个千年开始之际,我把这封宗座牧函托付给你们,各教区的主教、神父和执事们,以及全体天主子民,希望大家重新发现玫瑰经之美。一个念玫瑰经的家庭能保持合一。因着将耶稣放在生活的中心,家庭能够分享祂的喜乐与痛苦,将未来的希望交托在祂手中。愿玫瑰经重回基督徒的家庭,使家庭成为宣讲和实践福音的学校。”(教宗圣若望保禄二世:《童贞玛利亚的玫瑰经》宗座牧函,2002年10月16日)

“今天我们再次共同确认,圣玫瑰经不是一个属于过去的、在怀旧中被记起的仪式。相反,玫瑰经正在经历一个新的春天。这无疑是最具有说服力的迹象之一,表明新一代年轻人对耶稣基督和祂的母亲玛利亚充满了热爱。在当今这个支离破碎的世界里,这个祈祷能够帮助我们将基督置于生活的中心,就像圣母玛利亚那样。她曾在内心里反复默想关于她儿子的一切。当我们诵念玫瑰经时,我们重温了救恩史中那些重要且关键的时刻。它不仅让我们把心转向基督,更将真正的和平、和解与治愈带给我们的心灵和这个世界。”(参看:教宗本笃十六世:《在罗马圣母大殿诵念玫瑰经时的讲话》2008年5月3日)

“亲爱的弟兄姊妹们:5月份即将来临,在这月份里,天主子民特别热切地表达他们对圣母玛利亚的爱慕和敬意。在这个月里,全家一起诵念玫瑰经已经成为一种传统。在家庭中诵念玫瑰经的秘诀就在于‘简朴’。在互联网上很容易找到可以效法的优良祈祷模式。一同瞻仰基督的面容,并拥有一颗像圣母玛利亚那样的心,将使我们更深地在属灵上凝聚为一个家庭,并帮助我们克服当前的考验。我为你们所有人祈祷,特别是那些受苦最深的人。”(教宗方济各:《致全体信友:在2020年5月份诵念玫瑰经》,2020年4月25日)

“听到基督徒满心虔敬、充满信德的咏唱,同时手持烛火走向他们在天上的母亲、耶稣在十字架上赐给我们的母亲,这是多么地慰藉人心。圣母的转求绝非次要的;藉著圣母,对我们每个人而言,一切再次变得可能。”(参看:教宗良十四世:《在法国露德烛光游行公念玫瑰经时的讲话》,2026年9月27日)

在此玫瑰圣母的纪念日,让我们遵循教宗们的训诲,一起向天主献上祈祷:

上主,我们恳求祢:把祢的恩宠倾注到我们心中,使藉天使的传报得知祢圣子基督降生成人的我们,因荣福童贞玛利亚的转祷,藉祂的苦难与十字架,得达复活的荣耀。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。

Coffee with God:October 7, 2026

October 7, 2026
Wednesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time, Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary
Gospel: Luke 11:1–4

Today is Wednesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary. According to the recently published Roman Missal: this feast was originally called “Our Lady of Victories,” commemorating the Battle of Lepanto (October 7, 1571), when a Christian fleet defeated the Turks. Pope Saint Pius V attributed this victory to the recitation of the Holy Rosary. This great devotion of the Rosary is sometimes traced back to Saint Dominic and his confreres in the thirteenth century, who preached against the Albigensian heresy; although it more likely took its familiar form in the fifteenth century. Since then, it has spread all over the world and has produced marvelous fruits, leading countless Christians to Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Today, the passage from the Holy Gospel according to Luke presents us with the scene of Jesus teaching His disciples how to pray to the Heavenly Father. This scene perfectly aligns with the feast we celebrate today. I would like to take this opportunity to offer some reflections.

First, Luke tells us:

Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” (Cf. Lk 11:1)

In the writing of the Evangelist Luke, we see Jesus at prayer many times. For example, before choosing the Twelve Apostles, He went up the mountain to pray and spent the whole night in prayer to God. (Cf. Lk 6:12) Another instance: after the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, He also prayed alone. (Cf. Lk 9:18) In today’s Gospel passage, we see Jesus at prayer once again. Clearly, Luke intends to tell us through this that prayer is essential in the life of faith.

We know that in Jesus’ time, the disciples who came to Him already had a new way of life. Although there were various prayers derived from the Old Testament — the most famous being the Psalms — perhaps John had also taught his disciples to pray with the Psalms, but Jesus had never taught His own disciples how to pray. Therefore, the disciples came to Jesus, hoping that He, like John, would teach them to pray.

Today, the prayer Jesus taught His disciples differs from the teachings of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the rabbis of His time. He invites His disciples to offer prayer directly to the Heavenly Father, to express our gratitude to Him, thanking Him for creating us from nothing, for giving us life, and for nourishing us with all the creatures of heaven and earth, enabling us to live in this beautiful world. And we ask Him to grant us abundant grace, so that we may imitate Christ, emptying ourselves in order to better receive the grace bestowed upon us by God, and to assist God in the work of redemption on earth, so that the pilgrim Church on earth may continue to practice all that Christ has taught her, imitating Christ in every time and place, and courageously bearing witness to the truth in the world, doing the holy will of God.

Now, let us consider what we ask of God when we offer our prayers to Him. I still remember a conversation with a certain priest who served in a rural parish. He told me that he once saw a brother requesting him to offer a Mass for the sake of taking revenge on his enemy. This reminds me of another invitation Jesus extends to us today. He invites us to lay down hatred and seek His Word (Cf. Lk 11:3–4), for only His Word can truly calm our restless hearts, enabling us to listen to the Heavenly Father’s converse with us in the depths of our hearts, and preventing us from losing our way or stumbling in the changing circumstances of this earthly life.

I recall the teaching of a certain deceased bishop: living in this changing world, it is not enough for us to offer prayers to God by ourselves; we also need the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Incarnate Word and Queen of the Rosary, because Jesus always hearkens to the prayers the Blessed Virgin Mary offers to Him on behalf of her children. Building upon this deceased bishop’s teaching, I would further like to invite all brothers and sisters in the Lord: in addition to seeking the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Rosary is also an excellent supplement, for through the Twenty Mysteries of the Rosary we can behold the beauty of Christ’s holy countenance and draw abundant grace therefrom.

This feast also brings to mind the teachings of the Roman Pontiffs on the Rosary. I would like to take this opportunity to quote some of them:

“The Rosary is my favorite prayer. A wonderful prayer! In its simplicity and its depth, it contains the whole breadth of the Gospel message… Through the Rosary, the faithful receive abundant grace, as though from the very hands of the mother of the Redeemer. At the beginning of the third millennium, I entrust this Apostolic Letter to you, Bishops, priests, and deacons in your Churches, and to all the People of God, that you may rediscover the beauty of the Rosary. A family that prays the Rosary remains united. By placing Jesus at the center of life, the family can share in His joy and suffering, entrusting its future hope into His hands. May the Rosary return to Christian families, making them schools of the Gospel, where it is proclaimed and lived.” (Pope Saint John Paul II, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, Apostolic Letter, October 16, 2002)

“Today we confirm together once again that the Holy Rosary is not a rite belonging to the past, remembered with nostalgia. On the contrary, the Rosary is experiencing a new spring. This is undoubtedly one of the most eloquent signs that the new generation of young people is filled with love for Jesus Christ and His Mother Mary. In today’s fragmented world, this prayer can help us place Christ at the center of our lives, just as the Blessed Virgin Mary did. She pondered all things concerning her Son in her heart. When we pray for the Rosary, we relive those important and crucial moments in the history of salvation. It not only turns our hearts to Christ, but also brings true peace, reconciliation, and healing to our hearts and to the world.” (Cf. Pope Benedict XVI, Address at the Recitation of the Rosary in the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, May 3, 2008)

“Dear brothers and sisters: the month of May is approaching, a month in which God’s people express their love and devotion to the Virgin Mary with particular fervour. During this month, it has become a tradition for families to pray the Rosary together. The secret to praying the Rosary in families lies in ‘simplicity.’ Excellent models of prayer that can be imitated are easily found online. Contemplating the face of Christ together and having a heart like that of the Blessed Virgin Mary will enable us to grow closer to one another spiritually and help us overcome the trials of the present time. I pray for all of you, especially for those who are suffering most.” (Pope Francis, Letter to All the Faithful on the Recitation of the Rosary in the Month of May 2020, April 25, 2020)

“How heartening it is to hear Christians chanting with devout hearts full of faith, holding candles as they process toward their Heavenly Mother — the mother given to us by Jesus on the Cross. The Blessed Virgin’s intercession is by no means secondary; through the Blessed Virgin, all things become possible once more for each of us.” (Cf. Pope Leo XIV, Address at the Candlelight Rosary Procession in Lourdes, France, September 27, 2026)

On this Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary, let us follow the teachings of the Popes and together offer our prayers to God:

Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord,
your grace into our hearts,
that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ your Son
was made known by the message of an Angel,
may, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
by his Passion and Cross
be brought to the glory of his Resurrection.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

或 聖布魯諾(自由紀念)
福音:路10:38-42

今天是常年期第廿七周星期二。教會在今天慶祝聖布魯諾司鐸的自由紀念敬禮日。最近出版的彌撒經書告訴我們:聖布魯諾(約1035-1101),加多森會(加爾都西會)的創始人,出生于科隆,並在法國蘭斯教授神學約二十年。1084年,他與六位同伴退隱至法國格勒諾布爾附近的山區,並創立了嚴格的沙特勒斯大修道院(即大加都西隱修院)。聖布魯諾被其昔日的學生,真福烏爾班二世召往羅馬,在為教宗服務期間,在義大利創立了更多修道院。

今天,取自聖路加福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌在伯大尼,祂受瑪利亞和瑪爾大款待的場景。我願意借此機會提供一些反思。

我們時常偕同那些與我們一樣,領受同一基督的聖洗,同一聖神的恩賜,共赴天國的婚筵 —— 天主子民的集會 —— 感恩聖祭,當我們參與感恩聖祭時,我們時常會如同瑪利亞一樣,坐在耶穌的腳前(參看:路10:39)在聖道禮儀中聆聽天主透過祂的僕人向我們宣講的一切。富於仁慈的主基督,透過祂建基於聖伯多祿(磐石)之上的教會(參看:瑪16:18-19)繼續向我們揭示天國的奧秘。我們在感恩祭中聆聽天主聖言的時候,在我們的心中,時常會產生一些漣漪,甚至在情緒上,也會如同瑪爾大一樣,因自己的手足對天主聖言的熱忱,產生各種憤恨。因為我們掛慮的,是屬於這個世界的一切,而非屬於天主的。甚至有時,當我們向天主獻上祈禱時,我們總是向天主尋求屬於這個世界的一切,而非隨從天主的聖意,尋求天主按照祂的聖意,賞賜我們所需要的一切恩寵。

正如耶穌所說:“瑪爾大,瑪爾大,妳為許多事操心忙碌。最需要的事只有一件。瑪麗亞選擇了最好的一份,是不是從她那裡奪去的。”(參看:路10:41-42)我們不應掛慮屬於這個世界的一切,再不應縱容出自我們本性的私欲行為,一如保祿所教導的那樣:“本性的私欲相反聖神的引導,聖神的引導相反本性的私欲:二者互相敵對,致使你們不能行你們所願意的事,但如果你們隨聖神的引導,就不在法律權下。”(參看:迦5:17-18)為我們來說,我們已藉所領受的基督聖洗,一次而又永久的脫離了死亡。因為,藉“所領受的洗禮,我們已歸於基督,歸於基督的死亡,與祂同葬了,為的是基督怎樣藉著父的光榮,從死者中復活,我們也怎樣在新生活中度生。”(參看:羅6:3-5)因此,我們惟有隨從天主聖神,接受天主聖神的引導,我們才能成為天主的子女。(參看:羅8:14)

今天,教會慶祝聖布魯諾司鐸的紀念日。讓我們效法聖人的德表,不再追求世俗的逸樂,不再專務世俗上的一切,而是專務天上的事,一心敬禮天主,相稱完成天主託付給我們的使命。

天主,祢召叫聖布魯諾在隱修中事奉祢,求祢藉著他的轉求,使我們在今世的變遷中,能不斷地唯獨仰望祢。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。

正如耶稣所说:“玛尔大,玛尔大,妳为许多事操心忙碌。最需要的事只有一件。玛丽亚选择了最好的一份,是不是从她那里夺去的。”(参看:路10:41-42)我们不应挂虑属于这个世界的一切,再不应纵容出自我们本性的私欲行为,一如保禄所教导的那样:“本性的私欲相反圣神的引导,圣神的引导相反本性的私欲:二者互相敌对,致使你们不能行你们所愿意的事,但如果你们随圣神的引导,就不在法律权下。”(参看:迦5:17-18)为我们来说,我们已藉所领受的基督圣洗,一次而又永久的脱离了死亡。因为,藉“所领受的洗礼,我们已归于基督,归于基督的死亡,与祂同葬了,为的是基督怎样藉着父的光荣,从死者中复活,我们也怎样在新生活中度生。”(参看:罗6:3-5)因此,我们惟有随从天主圣神,接受天主圣神的引导,我们才能成为天主的子女。(参看:罗8:14)

今天,教会庆祝圣布鲁诺司铎的纪念日。让我们效法圣人的德表,不再追求世俗的逸乐,不再专务世俗上的一切,而是专务天上的事,一心敬礼天主,相称完成天主托付给我们的使命。

Tuesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time
or Optional Memorial of Saint Bruno, Priest
Gospel: Luke 10:38–42

Today is Tuesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates the Optional Memorial of Saint Bruno, Priest. According to the recently published Missal: Saint Bruno (c. 1035–1101), founder of the Carthusian Order, was born in Cologne and taught theology for about twenty years at Rheims (France). In 1084, he retired with six companions into the mountains near Grenoble (France) and founded the strict monastery of the Grande Chartreuse. Saint Bruno was summoned to Rome by his former pupil, Blessed Urban II, and while working for the Pope founded further monasteries in Italy.

Today, the passage from the Holy Gospel according to Luke presents us with the scene of Jesus being welcomed by Mary and Martha in Bethany. I would like to take this opportunity to offer some reflections.

We often join with those who, like us, have received the one Baptism of Christ and the one gifts of the Holy Spirit, hastening to the wedding feast of the Kingdom — the assembly of the People of God — the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. When we participate in the Holy Mass, we often, like Mary, sit at the feet of Jesus (Cf. Lk 10:39), listening in the Liturgy of the Word to all that God proclaims to us through His servants. Christ the Lord, rich in mercy, continues to reveal to us the mysteries of the Kingdom through His Church, founded upon Saint Peter (the Rock) (Cf. Mt 16:18–19). When we listen to the Word of God in the Holy Mass, ripples often arise in our hearts, and emotionally, we may become like Martha, feeling various resentments towards our siblings because of their fervor for the Word of God. For we are anxious about everything that belongs to this world, rather than what belongs to God. At times, even when we offer prayers to God, we always ask Him for everything that belongs to this world, instead of conforming to His holy will and seeking from God, according to His good pleasure, all the graces we need.

As Jesus said, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her.” (Cf. Lk 10:41–42) We should not be anxious about everything that belongs to this world, nor should we indulge in the works of the flesh, as Paul taught: “For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” (Cf. Gal 5:17–18) For us, through the Baptism of Christ we have received, we have once and for all departed from death. For, “through the baptism we have received, we have been united with Christ, united with His death, and buried with Him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.” (Cf. Rom 6:3–5) Therefore, only by following the Holy Spirit and accepting the guidance of the Holy Spirit can we become children of God. (Cf. Rom 8:14)

Today, the Church celebrates the Memorial of Saint Bruno, Priest. Let us imitate the virtues of the Saint, no longer pursuing worldly pleasures, no longer occupied with earthly things, but setting our minds on heavenly things, worshipping God with one heart, and worthily fulfilling the mission God has entrusted to us.

O God, who called Saint Bruno to serve you in solitude, grant, through his intercession, that amid the changes of this world we may constantly look to you alone. 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.

2026年10月5日
常年期第廿七周星期一
或 聖傅天娜(自由紀念)
福音:路10:25-37

今天是常年期第廿七周星期一。教會在今天慶祝聖傅天娜修女的自由紀念敬禮日。最近出版的彌撒經書告訴我們:聖傅天娜·科瓦爾斯卡(1905-1938)出生于波蘭格沃古韋茨村。十八歲時,她感到聖召,前往華沙加入修會。經過漫長的聖召辨別,並短暫做過一段管家,她于1926年穿上會衣,成為慈悲聖母修女會修女。她先後在克拉科夫、普沃茨克和維爾紐斯(立陶宛)的修院生活,謙遜地做著廚師、門房和園丁的工作。她最為人知的是她從主那裡得到的神視,記錄在她的《日記》中,以及她對神聖慈悲敬禮的推廣。她身患結核病,於1938年10月5日在克拉科夫去世,並於2000年由聖若望·保祿二世封聖。

今天,取自聖路加福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌說的良善的撒瑪黎雅人的比喻。讓我們來試著理解。

首先,聖路加告訴我們:有一位法學士站起來試探耶穌說:“老師,我該怎麼做,才能承受永生?”耶穌對他說:“法律書上寫了什麼?你是怎麼讀的呢?”他回答說:“你要以你的全心,以你的全部,以你的力量,以你的全意愛上主,你的天主,並要愛你的近人,如同愛你自己一樣。”耶穌回答他說:“你回答的正確;你這樣做,就會生活。”可是,他願意為自己辯解,就對耶穌說:“誰是我的近人呢?”(參看:路10:25-29)

我在默思這段經文的時候,時常想到在教會內的一些兄弟姐妹,他們時常想要賣弄自己在聖經方面的學識,意圖羞辱那些對天主聖言懵懂的弟兄姐妹,他們無法認出自己身邊,誰才是他們真正的近人。因為在他們看來,那些和他們志向相同的人,才是他們的近人,那些被邊緣化的人,那些在他們看來不堪的人,不是他們的近人。

今天,耶穌借著良善的撒瑪黎雅人的比喻(參看:路10:30-36)邀請我們透過默觀來分辨誰是我們的近人,我們應該怎麼做,才能成為他人的近人。祂更告訴我們:基督徒蒙召,不僅是成為天主的兒女,以宣認相信基督而自居,更是要實踐天主對世界的愛,把天主的愛帶給這個世界的使命。因此,讓我們不斷在生活中發現我們的近人,按照祂的聖意,努力成為他人的近人。

在此聖女傅天娜的自由紀念敬禮日。讓我們同心合意,一起向天主獻上祈禱:

天主,祢以神妙的方式,向聖傅天娜·克瓦爾斯卡彰顯取用不盡的慈悲寶藏。我們懇求祢:使我們滿懷信德瞻仰祢聖子洞穿的聖肋,以此獲得力量,彼此憐憫,最後永遠在天上歌頌祢的仁慈。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。

Coffee with God:October 5, 2026

October 5, 2026
Monday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time
or Optional Memorial of Saint Faustina Kowalska
Gospel: Luke 10:25-37

Today is Monday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates the Optional Memorial of Saint Faustina. According to the recently published Missal: Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905–1938) was born in the village of Głogowiec, Poland. At the age of eighteen, she felt the call to religious life and went to Warsaw to enter a convent. After a long period of discernment and working briefly as a housekeeper, she received the habit in 1926, becoming a Sister of Our Lady of Mercy. She lived in convents in Krakow, Płock, and Vilnius (Lithuania), humbly serving as a cook, porter, and gardener. She is best known for the visions she received from the Lord, recorded in her Diary, and for her promotion of devotion to the Divine Mercy. Suffering from tuberculosis, she died in Krakow on October 5, 1938, and was canonized by Saint John Paul II in 2000.

Today, the passage from the Holy Gospel according to Luke presents us with Jesus’ Parable of the Good Samaritan. Let us try to understand it.

First, Saint Luke tells us that a lawyer stood up to test Jesus, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” He replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.” But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” (Cf. Lk 10:25–29)

When I meditate on this passage, I often think of some brothers and sisters in the Church who always want to show off their biblical knowledge, intending to humiliate those siblings who are ignorant of God’s Word. They fail to recognize who their true neighbor is. In their eyes, only those who share their ambitions are their neighbors, while the marginalized, and those they consider unworthy, are not their neighbors.

Today, through the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Cf. Lk 10:30–36), Jesus invites us to discern through contemplation who our neighbor is, and what we should do to become a neighbor to others. He further tells us that Christians are called not only to be children of God and to pride themselves on professing faith in Christ, but also to live out God’s love for the world and to bring God’s love to it. Therefore, let us constantly discover our neighbors in life, and strive to become neighbors to others according to His holy will.

On this Optional Memorial of Saint Faustina, let us unite our hearts and minds and offer our prayers to God:

O God, who in a wondrous manner revealed the inexhaustible riches of your mercy to Saint Maria Faustina, grant, we beseech you, that by looking with trust upon the pierced side of your Son we may be strengthened to show mercy one to another and, at length, sing forever of your mercy in heaven. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,God, forever and ever.
