Exhortation on Prayer

We often turn to others for assistance in the necessities of life. When we do so, we inevitably encounter two possible outcomes. Sometimes, those whom we hope can assist us fulfill our needs, granting us precisely what we long for. At other times, however, those in whom we placed our hopes disregard our needs, refusing to provide what we earnestly sought.

In our life of faith, we also turn to our Heavenly Father to seek His many graces. Yet when our prayers seem unanswered, we risk losing faith in God. In our estimation, the merciful God ought to grant us every grace we require, just as we desire it, thus overlooking the teaching of Jesus: “Your Father knows what you need before you ask him” (cf. Mt 6:8). Therefore, what reason have we to doubt God? What reason have we to be separated from the love of God?

Today, Jesus Himself instructs us on how to pray. He calls us to approach the Father with confidence and trust. Although at times, the merciful Father may not grant the grace we need right away, if we persist in prayer with unwavering faith, He will surely bestow it upon us.

Bestow on us, we pray, O Lord,
a spirit of always pondering on what is right
and of hastening to carry it out,
and, since without you we cannot exist,
may we be enabled to live according to your will.
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

耶穌:新時代的徵兆

徵兆一詞,在英語中,是sign,意思是記號。我們在談及徵兆的時候,往往會聯想到天主給我們每個人的記號。天主往往會在我們的不經易之間賜給我們記號,使我們想起祂的臨在,進而回應祂對我們每個人的召叫。

為尼尼微人而言,先知約納就是他們的記號,因為他們因著約納的宣講而悔改(參看:納3:1-10)天主看到他們的悔改,不再降禍於他們。

為南方的女王而言,撒羅滿是她追求的對象。她渴望得到撒羅滿的智慧。誰是這位南方的女王呢?就是舍巴女王(參看:列上10)她帶著大量的禮物,從外邦來到撒羅滿那裡,向撒羅滿求問智慧。

我們藉著領受基督的洗禮和天主聖神的傅油,成為新約子民。那印在我們額頭上的聖印就是基督賜給這個世代的記號。生活中,讓我們勇敢活出福音的精神,時時處處彰顯天主對我們每人的愛,祂愛我們,甚至願意為我們付出自己的生命。

Gospel: Luke 11:29-32
Jesus: The Sign of a New Age

The word sign refers to a mark or indication. When we speak of signs, we often think of the signs that God gives to each one of us. Very often, God grants us signs in ways we do not expect, reminding us of His presence and inviting us to respond to His call addressed personally to each of us.

For the people of Nineveh, the prophet Jonah became their sign, for they repented at his preaching (cf. Jon 3:1–10). Seeing their repentance, God relented and did not bring upon them the disaster He had threatened.

For the Queen of the South, Solomon was the one she sought. She longed for his wisdom. Who was this Queen of the South? She was the Queen of Sheba (cf. 1 Kgs 10). Bringing abundant gifts, she came from a foreign land to Solomon in order to seek wisdom from him.

Through the Baptism we have received in Christ and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, we have become the People of the New Covenant. The sacred seal marked upon our foreheads is the sign that Christ gives to this generation. In our daily lives, let us courageously live out the spirit of the Gospel, manifesting everywhere God’s love for each one of us — a love so great that He was willing to give His own life for us.

祈禱的真諦

我們向天父獻上祈禱時,時常會按照我們的意願,向天主尋求屬於這個世界的一切,幾時天主不按照我們心中所渴望的一切,賜給我們向祂尋求的一切恩寵,我們便會抱怨天主,甚至遠離天主。在我們看來,我們所相信的天主,時常是仁慈的,因為祂使太陽上升,光照惡人,也光照善人;降雨給義人,也給不義的人。(參看:瑪5:45)卻忽略了耶穌親自教導我們向天父獻上的祈禱。

我們向天父獻上祈禱時,應當首先向造我們的天父表達我們的感謝,感謝祂從無形之中造成了我們,並賦給我們生命,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。然後,我們要向祂求得智慧和明達,好使我們在此變幻塵世中分辨天父的聖意,並能在內心深處聆聽天父與我們的交談,並按照天主的聖意,善待我們遇到的所有人。

上主,求祢眷顧祢的家庭,使我們的思念,藉克己修身產生的果效,因渴求祢產生的力量,在祢面前,閃爍發光。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。

祈祷的真谛

我们向天父献上祈祷时,时常会按照我们的意愿,向天主寻求属于这个世界的一切,几时天主不按照我们心中所渴望的一切,赐给我们向祂寻求的一切恩宠,我们便会抱怨天主,甚至远离天主。在我们看来,我们所相信的天主,时常是仁慈的,因为祂使太阳上升,光照恶人,也光照善人;降雨给义人,也给不义的人。(参看:玛5:45)却忽略了耶稣亲自教导我们向天父献上的祈祷。

我们向天父献上祈祷时,应当首先向造我们的天父表达我们的感谢,感谢祂从无形之中造成了我们,并赋给我们生命,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。然后,我们要向祂求得智慧和明达,好使我们在此变幻尘世中分辨天父的圣意,并能在内心深处聆听天父与我们的交谈,并按照天主的圣意,善待我们遇到的所有人。

上主,求祢眷顾祢的家庭,使我们的思念,藉克己修身产生的果效,因渴求祢产生的力量,在祢面前,闪烁发光。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。

Gospel: Matthew 6:7-15
The True Meaning of Prayer

When we offer prayers to our Heavenly Father, we often seek all things of this world according to our own will. And when God does not grant us every grace we seek from Him according to what our hearts desire, we complain against God and even turn away from Him. In our view, the God we believe in is always merciful, because He makes His sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain upon the just and the unjust (cf. Mt 5:45), yet we overlook the prayer that Jesus Himself taught us to offer to the Heavenly Father.

When we offer prayers to the Heavenly Father, we should first express our gratitude to our Creator, who formed us from nothing and gave us life, nourishing us with all the creatures of heaven and earth that He created, so that we might live in this beautiful world. Then, we should ask Him for wisdom and understanding, so that in this changing world we may discern the Holy Will of the Father, listen deeply within our hearts to His dialogue with us, and treat everyone we encounter according to God’s Holy Will.

Look upon your family, Lord,
that, through the chastening effects of bodily discipline,
our minds may be radiant in your presence
with the strength of our yearning for 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. Amen.

四旬期第一周星期一
福音: 瑪竇福音 25:31-46

今天是四旬期第一周星期一。取自聖瑪竇福音的福音經文給我們講述了耶穌描述公審判時的場景。

我們生活在這變幻的塵世中,心中卻時常嚮往著天鄉,嚮往著在末世時期,公審判的光景是怎樣的。今天彌撒福音的開端,聖瑪竇為我們揭示的,正是當耶穌基督第二次來臨時的驚人景象。祂將揭示眾人所行的一切,將那些承行天主聖意的兄弟姐妹與那些相反天主旨意的兄弟姐妹分開,為使那些自塵世生活中就已經承行天主聖意的兄弟姐妹,因他們所行的善工獲得永遠的賞報,使那些在塵世生活中做了上主視為惡的事的人們因他們所行的一切惡事,獲得永遠的喪亡。

我們時常會追逐金錢給我們帶來的美好生活,卻忽略了那些生活在困苦中的人們,就是耶穌在今天福音中,所列舉的五類人:那些生活在饑餓中的人們;那些生活在對永生幸福的渴望中的人們;那些因宣傳天主之國的福音,客居他鄉的人們;那些無人可穿的人們;那些身患重病,孤苦無依的人;那些因各種原因,受到束縛的人們。(瑪25:31-36,42-44)這五類人都是我們生活中時常會見到的,時常會與他們交談的,他們有時會在我們的不經意之間與我們相遇,並熱切等待我們的關心和愛護。

我們會陷入世俗給我們帶來的捆綁和束縛之中,進而產生了一種麻痹的心態。如同今天彌撒福音中,那些得到天主賞賜他們百倍賞報的,那些義人們回答君王的那樣。(瑪26:37-39) 因為我們將信仰流於表面,因而時常忽略那些我們生活中的一些細節。事實上,天主會在我們不經意的瞬間賞賜給我們實行仁愛的機會。

讓我們好好善用四旬期,重新發現生活中那些真正的弱小者,按照天主的聖意,量力幫助他們,常為他們祈禱。亞孟。

我们时常会追逐金钱给我们带来的美好生活,却忽略了那些生活在困苦中的人们,就是耶稣在今天福音中,所列举的五类人:那些生活在饥饿中的人们;那些生活在对永生幸福的渴望中的人们;那些因宣传天主之国的福音,客居他乡的人们;那些无人可穿的人们;那些身患重病,孤苦无依的人;那些因各种原因,受到束缚的人们。(玛25:31-36,42-44)这五类人都是我们生活中时常会见到的,时常会与他们交谈的,他们有时会在我们的不经意之间与我们相遇,并热切等待我们的关心和爱护。

我们会陷入世俗给我们带来的捆绑和束缚之中,进而产生了一种麻痹的心态。如同今天弥撒福音中,那些得到天主赏赐他们百倍赏报的,那些义人们回答君王的那样。(玛26:37-39) 因为我们将信仰流于表面,因而时常忽略那些我们生活中的一些细节。事实上,天主会在我们不经意的瞬间赏赐给我们实行仁爱的机会。

Monday of the First Week of Lent
Gospel: Matthew 25:31-46

Today is Monday of the First Week of Lent. The Gospel passage from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew presents us with Jesus’ description of the scene of the Last Judgment.
In this changing world, we often yearn for heaven and wonder what the Last Judgment will be like at the end of time. At the beginning of today’s Gospel at Mass, Saint Matthew reveals to us the astonishing vision of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. He will reveal all that people have done, separating those brothers and sisters who did the will of God during their earthly lives from those who acted against His divine will. Thus, those who already lived out God’s will on earth will receive eternal reward for the good works they performed, while those who did what the Lord considers evil will face eternal perdition for their wicked deeds.

We often chase the comfortable life that money brings, yet overlook those living in hardship—precisely the five categories of people Jesus mentions in today’s Gospel (Matthew 25:31-36, 42-44): those who are hungry; those who long for eternal happiness; those who are strangers and sojourn in foreign lands because they proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of God; those who are naked; those who are sick with serious illnesses and abandoned; and those who are bound by various reasons. These are people we encounter frequently in daily life, sometimes unexpectedly, and they eagerly await our care and love.

We can fall into the bondage and captivity of worldly attachments, leading to a numbed mindset. This is like how the righteous, who received a hundredfold reward from God, responded to the King (Matthew 25:37-39). Because our faith often remains superficial, we overlook the small details of daily life. In truth, God offers us opportunities to practice charity in unexpected moments.

Let us make good use of Lent to rediscover the truly vulnerable in our lives, help them according to our ability as God wills, and pray for them often. Amen.
