聖伯爾納鐸（院長聖師）紀念
福音：瑪22:1-14

今天是常年期第二十周星期四。教會在今天慶祝聖伯爾納德院長聖師的紀念日。最近出版的彌撒經書告訴我們：聖伯爾納鐸（約1090-1153）生於法國第戎附近豐坦鎮一貴族家庭。一一一三年入熙篤會新興修院，後創立明穀熙篤會院。聖伯爾納鐸乃著名神學家、講道者及護教士，與諸王教宗書信往來甚密。其著作彰顯其將行動生活與神秘默觀完美結合之聖德。一八三〇年被宣佈為教會聖師，譽為“最後的教父”。

今天，取自聖瑪竇福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌所說天國的筵席的比喻。讓我們來試著理解。
耶穌又用比喻對司祭長和民間的長老說：“天國好比一個要給自己兒子準備婚宴的國王。他派遣僕人召受邀的客人赴宴，他們卻拒絕了。（參看：瑪22:1-3）

我們從這個國王身上看到了天父的影子，祂喜愛祂的兒子，為祂的兒子準備好了一個婚宴。那麼，祂兒子的新娘是誰呢？顯然是耶路撒冷。福音中提到的僕人，指的是舊約時代，天主給以色列派遣的全體先知和民長，他們不斷邀請猶太選民歸向天主，共赴婚宴。那些猶太選民，雖然聽到天主的召叫，可是，那些猶太選民，寧可朝拜外邦人的神，也不願意歸向天主，他們祖先的天主。

他第二次派遣別的僕人去，對他們說：你們去告訴那些被邀請的人說：筵席我已備好，我的牛犢和肥畜都已宰殺，一切都準備好了，你們來赴筵吧。”有些人無視邀請，走開了，有的去了農場，還有的去做生意。其餘的抓住他的僕人，虐待他們，把他們殺了。國王大怒，派遣軍隊，消滅了這些兇手，燒毀他們的城市。（參看：瑪22:4-7）

也許我們會認為：我們的天父，是一個沒有耐心的天父，一旦遭人拒絕，就不再與人來往。但是，從上面這段經文中，我們看到的是一個極其溫柔，總準備好賞賜我們各種各樣的恩典。祂再次派遣自己的僕人去召叫猶太選民，好使他們能來赴祂愛子的婚宴。那些猶太選民，他們不但拒絕，而且消滅了那些蒙天主派遣，前來召叫他們的僕人。

今天，讓我們效法聖伯爾納鐸的德表，慷慨回應天主對我們的召叫。現在，讓我們一起向天主獻上祈禱：

天主，祢使聖伯爾納鐸院長為祢殿宇滿懷熱忱，在祢教會內發光照耀。藉其轉禱，求祢使同一聖神灼熱我們，時常舉止如同光明之子。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。

圣伯尔纳铎（院长圣师）纪念
福音：玛22:1-14

今天是常年期第二十周星期四。教会在今天庆祝圣伯尔纳德院长圣师的纪念日。最近出版的弥撒经书告诉我们：圣伯尔纳铎（约1090-1153）生于法国第戎附近丰坦镇一贵族家庭。一一一三年入熙笃会新兴修院，后创立明谷熙笃会院。圣伯尔纳铎乃著名神学家、讲道者及护教士，与诸王教宗书信往来甚密。其著作彰显其将行动生活与神秘默观完美结合之圣德。一八三〇年被宣布为教会圣师，誉为“最后的教父”。

今天，取自圣玛窦福音的经文给我们展现了耶稣所说天国的筵席的比喻。让我们来试着理解。

耶稣又用比喻对司祭长和民间的长老说：“天国好比一个要给自己儿子准备婚宴的国王。他派遣仆人召受邀的客人赴宴，他们却拒绝了。（参看：玛22:1-3）

我们从这个国王身上看到了天父的影子，祂喜爱祂的儿子，为祂的儿子准备好了一个婚宴。那么，祂儿子的新娘是谁呢？显然是耶路撒冷。福音中提到的仆人，指的是旧约时代，天主给以色列派遣的全体先知和民长，他们不断邀请犹太选民归向天主，共赴婚宴。那些犹太选民，虽然听到天主的召叫，可是，那些犹太选民，宁可朝拜外邦人的神，也不愿意归向天主，他们祖先的天主。

他第二次派遣别的仆人去，对他们说：你们去告诉那些被邀请的人说：筵席我已备好，我的牛犊和肥畜都已宰杀，一切都准备好了，你们来赴筵吧。”有些人无视邀请，走开了，有的去了农场，还有的去做生意。其余的抓住他的仆人，虐待他们，把他们杀了。国王大怒，派遣军队，消灭了这些凶手，烧毁他们的城市。（参看：玛22:4-7）

也许我们会认为：我们的天父，是一个没有耐心的天父，一旦遭人拒绝，就不再与人来往。但是，从上面这段经文中，我们看到的是一个极其温柔，总准备好赏赐我们各种各样的恩典。祂再次派遣自己的仆人去召叫犹太选民，好使他们能来赴祂爱子的婚宴。那些犹太选民，他们不但拒绝，而且消灭了那些蒙天主派遣，前来召叫他们的仆人。

今天，让我们效法圣伯尔纳铎的德表，慷慨回应天主对我们的召叫。现在，让我们一起向天主献上祈祷：

天主，祢使圣伯尔纳铎院长为祢殿宇满怀热忱，在祢教会内发光照耀。藉其转祷，求祢使同一圣神灼热我们，时常举止如同光明之子。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。

Memorial of Saint Bernard, Abbot and Doctor of the Church
Gospel: Matthew 22:1-14

Today is Thursday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates the Memorial of Saint Bernard, Abbot and Doctor of the Church. According to the recently published Roman Missal: St Bernard (c.1090-1153) was born into a noble family at Fontaines, near Dijon (France). In 1113 he joined the new monastery at Citeaux and went on to find the Cistercian house at Clairvaux. St Bernard became known as a noted theologian, preacher and controversialist, enjoying a correspondence with monarchs and popes. He managed to combine a life of action with one of mystical contemplation, as revealed in his writings. Declared a Doctor of the Church in 1830, he is known as “the last of the Fathers.”

Today, the passage from the Gospel of Matthew presents us with the parable of the kingdom of heaven spoken by Jesus. Let us now endeavor to understand it.

Jesus spoke to the chief priests and the elders of the people again in parables, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He sent his servants to call those who were invited to the feast, but they refused to come.” (cf. Matt 22:1-3)

In this king we see the shadow of the Heavenly Father, who loves His Son and has prepared a wedding feast for Him. Who, then, is the bride of His Son? Clearly, it is Jerusalem. The servants mentioned in the Gospel refer to all the prophets and judges sent by God to Israel in the Old Testament. They continually invited the chosen people of Israel to return to God and come to the feast. Yet, although those chosen people heard God’s call, they preferred to worship the gods of the nation’s rather than return to the Lord, the God of their ancestors.

He sent other servants again, saying, “Tell those who are invited, ‘Behold, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves are killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.'” But they paid no attention and went off, one to his own farm, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. (cf. Matt 22:4-7)

We might think: Our Heavenly Father is an impatient Father who, once rejected, no longer associates with people. However, in the passage above, we see a father who is exceedingly gentle and always ready to bestow upon us all kinds of graces. He sends His servants again to call the chosen people, so that they might come to the wedding feast for His beloved Son. Yet those chosen people not only refused but also killed the servants sent by God to call them.

Today, let us imitate the virtuous example of Saint Bernard and generously respond to God’s call to us. Now, let us pray to God: O God, who made of the Abbot Saint Bernard a man consumed with zeal for your house and a light shining and burning in your Church, grant, through his intercession, that we may be on fire with the same spirit and walk always as children of light. 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.

常年期第廿周星期三
或 聖若望·歐德（司鐸）（自由紀念）
福音：瑪20:1-16

今天是常年期第二十周星期三。教會在今天以自由紀念等級慶祝聖若望·歐德司鐸的紀念日。按照最近出版的彌撒經書：聖若望·歐德（1601-1680）生於法國諾曼第裡鎮。後加入巴黎奧拉托利會，於一六二五年晉鐸。繼而創立耶穌瑪利亞會（厄德會）及聖母慈悲會（救濟會）。其講道廣受信友愛戴，畢生致力推動敬禮耶穌聖心與聖母聖心。一九二五年榮列聖品。

今天，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。祂借葡萄園的主人給自己招募工人的比喻教導我們。讓我們來試著反思。

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。

今天耶穌所論的家主，實際上是天主，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，完成天主給予他們的使命。

在此聖若望·歐德司鐸的瞻禮，讓我們一起向天主獻上祈禱：

天主，祢奇妙地揀選聖若望·歐德司鐸宣講基督莫測高深的富饒。藉著他的榜樣和教導，求祢使我們日益認識祢，並依福音的光照，忠信生活。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。

Wednesday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time
or Saint John Eudes, Priest (Optional Memorial)
Gospel: Matthew 20:1-16

Today is Wednesday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates the Optional Memorial of Saint John Eudes, Priest. According to the recently published Roman Missal: St John Eudes (1601-1680) was born in the Norman village of Ri (France). He joined the Oratory in Paris and was ordained in 1625. He went on to found the Congregation of Jesus and Mary (Eudists) and the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Refuge. A popular preacher, he promoted devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He was canonized in 1925.

Today, the passage from the Gospel of Matthew presents us with a parable spoken by Jesus. Through the parable of the landowner hiring workers for his vineyard, He teaches us. Let us now endeavor to reflect.
The changing world in which we live is marked not only by bonds of family affection but also by relationships between employers and employees. The employees spoken of here are those hired by employers from the job market, or those who, for various reasons, are unemployed. They search for job openings matching their career aspirations via the internet, offline job fairs, or internal referrals, submitting their resumes through online platforms, email, or postal mail, hoping to finally enter their desired company. The employers spoken of here are those who post job openings; like the landowner in the parable Jesus told His disciples (cf. Matt 20:1-7), they recruit various talents from the job market to meet the needs of production and operations.

The landowner spoken of by Jesus today is God. He invites those “created in his own image” (cf. Gen 1:27-28) to engage in various tasks within His vineyard. Those who receive this invitation are those in this changing world who, through rigorous penance and prayer, or at a particular moment, hear God’s call to them. When they accept this invitation, they generously responding to their vocation. When they enter the vineyard to work, they are fulfilling the mission God has given them in the way they deem correct.

O God, who wonderfully chose the Priest Saint John Eudes to proclaim the unfathomable riches of Christ, grant us, by his example and teachings, that, growing in knowledge of you, we may live faithfully by the light of the Gospel. 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.
