Tuesday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Mt 19:16–22

Today is Tuesday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time. The passage taken from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew presents to us a parable that Jesus spoke to His disciples. Let us reflect upon it.

In today’s Gospel at Holy Mass, we see a landowner who goes out to hire laborers for his vineyard. Jesus says: He went out to hire at dawn, at mid-morning, at the third hour, and at the eleventh hour. Now, who is this landowner? Clearly, Jesus Himself is that landowner. And what is this vineyard of which Jesus speaks? Evidently, this vineyard signifies the Church of God. Today, the master of the vineyard hires workers to labor in his vineyard (cf. Mt 20:1, 3, 5–7), and this brings to mind the vocation of each one of us.

I wish to speak about what many Christians understand by vocation and the reward they believe they ought to receive. Each of us, at different stages of life, receives God’s call. Some have received the sacrament of Baptism from birth. Others receive the sacraments of initiation in adulthood. When we come to the end of this earthly life and stand before God’s throne, those who received the sacraments of initiation from birth consider that God called them first, rather than those who received the sacraments of initiation in adulthood, and that they have done more to fulfill God’s holy will. Therefore, if God does not grant them a greater reward, they feel this is unjust. Likewise, those who received the sacraments of initiation in adulthood, if they see that God does not reward them according to His justice, will also feel unjustly treated. Their reason for deeming God unjust is that they follow the logic of this world—a logic which teaches that the more one gives, the more one receives.

Today, Jesus asks us not to view the gracious God according to the logic of this world, but to regard Him according to the logic of God’s Kingdom. God calls us out of love; He does so as He wills, by His own free will. We are called by the Lord at various stages of life, chosen because of God’s love, to act according to His divine will. And God will reward us according to all that we have done. For in God’s sight, we are all made in His own image; He always grants us the portion He knows is best. He will never treat us unjustly. For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust (cf. Mt 5:45).

O God, who have prepared for those who love you
good things which no eye can see,
fill our hearts, we pray, with the warmth of your love,
so that, loving you in all things and above all things,
we may attain your promises,
which surpass every human desire.
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

常年期第廿周星期一
福音：瑪19:16-22

今天是常年期第二十周星期一。取自聖瑪竇福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌和一個少年的對話。我願意借此機會提供一些反思。

首先，瑪竇告訴我們：一個年輕人來到耶穌跟前說：“老師，我該做什麼善事，才能獲得永生？”耶穌回答他說：“你為什麼問我關於善呢？善只有一個。如果你願意獲得永生，就要遵守誡命。” 他問耶穌說：“哪些誡命呢？”（參看：瑪19:16-18A）我們從這個年輕人與耶穌的對話中看到：這是一個屬於這個世界的年輕人。我所說的這個世界，是一個怎樣的世界呢？這是一個金錢永存，產業永固的世界。在他看來，天主是一個極其公義的天主，因為祂賞善罰惡。在他看來，只要他的行為舉止符合天主的聖意，就能獲得永生。

接著，瑪竇向我們展現了耶穌和這年輕人的對話。（參看：瑪19:18B-20）這恰恰是我們在教會內看到的現象。因為在我們的教會內，有許多兄弟姐妹，他們也會如同這個少年一樣，從表面上來看，他們遵守了天主的誡命，甚至他們每天都會來到聖堂參與彌撒，他們對天主的熱心和敬愛，超越聖職人員，他們之所以這樣做，因為他們堅信，只要這樣做，就能獲得永生。因此，他們希望耶穌能教導他們更多應當遵守的誡命。

那麼，我們如何才能變得如同耶穌一樣的美呢？如果想要變得肖似基督，那就要接受耶穌想要帶給個終將消逝的世界的世界觀，價值觀，生命觀，就是要承認：我們當下所擁有的一切，都是天主賞賜的，我們要按照天主聖神的啟迪，善用天主賜給我們的一切，好使這個終將消逝的世界，因我們所做的一切，體驗到天主的仁慈和美善，進而和我們一樣，懷著對天主聖言的依恃之情，憧憬天鄉，不再尋求在這個世界積攢一切財富，而是尋求在耶穌所說的天國中積攢那不會被蟲蛀，永不會貶值，永不會被偷盜的財富。

天主，祢為孝愛祢的人所準備的，是看不見的美物。我們以對祢熾熱的孝愛之心向祢懇求：使我們充滿對祢的愛，愛祢于萬有之上，好能獲得祢遠超眾人渴望的恩典。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：玛19:16-22

今天是常年期第二十周星期一。取自圣玛窦福音的经文给我们展现了耶稣和一个少年的对话。我愿意借此机会提供一些反思。

首先，玛窦告诉我们：一个年轻人来到耶稣跟前说：“老师，我该做什么善事，才能获得永生？”耶稣回答他说：“你为什么问我关于善呢？善只有一个。如果你愿意获得永生，就要遵守诫命。” 他问耶稣说：“哪些诫命呢？”（参看：玛19:16-18A）我们从这个年轻人与耶稣的对话中看到：这是一个属于这个世界的年轻人。我所说的这个世界，是一个怎样的世界呢？这是一个金钱永存，产业永固的世界。在他看来，天主是一个极其公义的天主，因为祂赏善罚恶。在他看来，只要他的行为举止符合天主的圣意，就能获得永生。

接着，玛窦向我们展现了耶稣和这年轻人的对话。（参看：玛19:18B-20）这恰恰是我们在教会内看到的现象。因为在我们的教会内，有许多兄弟姐妹，他们也会如同这个少年一样，从表面上来看，他们遵守了天主的诫命，甚至他们每天都会来到圣堂参与弥撒，他们对天主的热心和敬爱，超越圣职人员，他们之所以这样做，因为他们坚信，只要这样做，就能获得永生。因此，他们希望耶稣能教导他们更多应当遵守的诫命。

那么，我们如何才能变得如同耶稣一样的美呢？如果想要变得肖似基督，那就要接受耶稣想要带给个终将消逝的世界的世界观，价值观，生命观，就是要承认：我们当下所拥有的一切，都是天主赏赐的，我们要按照天主圣神的启迪，善用天主赐给我们的一切，好使这个终将消逝的世界，因我们所做的一切，体验到天主的仁慈和美善，进而和我们一样，怀着对天主圣言的依恃之情，憧憬天乡，不再寻求在这个世界积攒一切财富，而是寻求在耶稣所说的天国中积攒那不会被虫蛀，永不会贬值，永不会被偷盗的财富。

天主，祢为孝爱祢的人所准备的，是看不见的美物。我们以对祢炽热的孝爱之心向祢恳求：使我们充满对祢的爱，爱祢于万有之上，好能获得祢远超众人渴望的恩典。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。

Monday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Matthew 19:16-22

Today is Monday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time. The Gospel passage from Saint Matthew presents a dialogue between Jesus and a young man. I would like to offer some reflections on this text.

First, Matthew tells us that a young man approached Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you ask me about the Good? There is only One who is Good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” He asked Him, “Which ones?” (cf. Matt 19:16-18a). From this exchange, we see that this young man belongs entirely to this world. And what sort of world is this? It is a world where money endures and possessions remain secure. In his view, God is supremely just, rewarding good and punishing evil. He believes that as long as his conduct aligns with the divine will, he will attain eternal life.

Next, Matthew presents the continuation of the dialogue between Jesus and this young man (cf. Matt 19:18b-20). This very dynamic is what we often observe in the Church today. Within our community, many brothers and sisters resemble this youth. On the surface, they keep the commandments; they attend Mass daily and exhibit a zeal and devotion that sometimes surpass even that of the clergy. They do all this because they firmly believe that such practices will merit them eternal life. Consequently, they seek further instructions from Jesus on what more they must observe.

So, how can we become truly beautiful, conformed to Jesus? To be conformed to Christ, we must embrace the worldview, values, and anthropology that Jesus came to establish for this passing world. We must acknowledge that all we possess is a gift from God. Guided by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we must wisely steward all that God has given us. In this way, through our actions, this passing world may experience God’s mercy and goodness. Thus, like us, others may come to trust in the Divine Word, longing for the Heavenly Homeland. They will cease storing up treasures on earth and instead seek to lay up for themselves treasures in the Kingdom of Heaven—treasures that neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

O God, who have prepared for those who love you
good things which no eye can see,
fill our hearts, we pray, with the warmth of your love,
so that, loving you in all things and above all things,
we may attain your promises,
which surpass every human desire.
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

常年期第廿主日
福音：瑪15:21-28

今天是常年期第二十主日。取自聖瑪竇福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌在提洛和漆冬地區，祂和一個外邦婦人之間的對話。我願意借此機會，提供一些反思。

首先，瑪竇告訴我們：耶穌退到提洛和漆冬地區（參看：瑪15:21）顯然，祂來到一個外邦人的地區，那些生活在外邦地區的百姓。我在寫這段反思的時候，就想到我們當下教會的現狀。今天，我們的教會與外邦化的社會共存。我所說的外邦化社會，指的是一個不按照耶穌想要帶給個終將消逝的世界的世界觀，價值觀，生命觀看待一切，而是按照這個終將消逝的世界的世界觀，價值觀，生命觀看待一切的社會。同樣，在我們的教會內，也常有外邦化的思想。這些在教會內的外邦化思想，就是總想著用世俗之子的處事原則來處理教會內部的各樣事務。這樣的思潮，往往會破壞教會的共融，進而給這天主建立在聖伯多祿宗徒之上的教會種下裂教的種子。

接著，瑪竇給我們展現了一個婦人，她在耶穌身後，不停呼喊：“主，達味之子，可憐我吧！我的女兒被魔鬼折磨得好苦。”(參看：瑪15:22)馬爾谷在描述這位婦人的時候，他說：這個婦人是希臘人，出生於敘利亞腓尼基（參看：谷7:26）兩位聖史並沒有告訴我們，這位婦人是從哪裡得知耶穌的。她或許是從耶穌選擇做祂傳教中心的葛法翁的百姓口中得知耶穌能醫治各種疾病，並能驅逐魔鬼，因為我們知道：葛法翁是一個半外邦化的地區。

再後，瑪竇告訴我們：耶穌並沒有回應這婦人的請求，甚至耶穌的門徒也要求耶穌把她打發走（參看：瑪15:23-24）在我服務過的一些堂區，我經常看到許多輔祭弟兄阻礙那些長時間沒有進堂參與彌撒的主內兄弟姐妹找神父辦告解，因為在他們看來，神父很忙，無暇顧及他們的需求。這一幕同樣也發生在我們向天主獻上祈求的時候，我們對天主滿懷渴望，天主並沒有回應我們。那時候，我們會和那些受到阻礙的主內弟兄姐妹一樣，感到沮喪，認為天主不再愛我們了，祂似乎要從我們身上收回祂的聖神，並將我們置於死地。可是，這恰恰是一次鍛煉我們信德的機會。因為天主願意我們受少許的痛苦和磨難，使我們因著信德成義。

最後，瑪竇給我們展現了這婦人和耶穌的對話（參看：瑪15:25-28）我們從這對話中看到慈母教會的形象。慈母教會，當她發現，她的子女深受魔鬼和來自陰間使者的束縛時，她猶如一個慈母，為那些受困於罪惡之中的子女祈求耶穌。在慈母教會和這婦人身上，我們能看到五樣美好的品德。（1）謙卑：“主，甚至桌下的狗也能吃孩子們的殘羹剩飯。”（2）她的耐心：她耐心忍受看似救主對她的責備 （3）她的祈求：主，求祢可憐我。（4）她的堅忍：她不停祈求，直到得到她渴望得到的一切。（5）她的信德：“婦人，妳的信德真大”（參看：瑪15:28）如果我們也能擁有這五種品德，我們就能擺脫各種魔鬼，從一切罪惡中得到解脫。願上主賜給我們這樣的能力。（參看：聖多瑪斯·阿奎那：《講道集四：有罪的靈魂》）

今天，這出生於敘利亞腓尼基的婦人的女兒，因著她母親的信德，得到了痊癒。同樣，我們也要如同這婦人一樣，滿懷對天主聖言的無限信靠，把那些亟待得到天主憐憫的人帶到耶穌跟前，好使耶穌能從我們為他們獻上的祈禱中看到我們對祂所懷的信德，對世人所懷的愛德，對祂廣施慈恩的望德，按照祂的仁慈，使那些托我們祈求的人，我們主動為他們祈求的人，脫離罪惡和死亡的羈絆，重獲天主真兒女的自由。

最後，讓我們一起向天主獻上祈禱：

天主，祢為孝愛祢的人所準備的，是看不見的美物。我們以對祢熾熱的孝愛之心向祢懇求：使我們充滿對祢的愛，愛祢于萬有之上，好能獲得祢遠超眾人渴望的恩典。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。

今天是常年期第二十主日。取自圣玛窦福音的经文给我们展现了耶稣在提洛和漆冬地区，祂和一个外邦妇人之间的对话。我愿意借此机会，提供一些反思。

首先，玛窦告诉我们：耶稣退到提洛和漆冬地区（参看：玛15:21）显然，祂来到一个外邦人的地区，那些生活在外邦地区的百姓。我在写这段反思的时候，就想到我们当下教会的现状。今天，我们的教会与外邦化的社会共存。我所说的外邦化社会，指的是一个不按照耶稣想要带给个终将消逝的世界的世界观，价值观，生命观看待一切，而是按照这个终将消逝的世界的世界观，价值观，生命观看待一切的社会。同样，在我们的教会内，也常有外邦化的思想。这些在教会内的外邦化思想，就是总想着用世俗之子的处事原则来处理教会内部的各样事务。这样的思潮，往往会破坏教会的共融，进而给这天主建立在圣伯多禄宗徒之上的教会种下裂教的种子。

接着，玛窦给我们展现了一个妇人，她在耶稣身后，不停呼喊：“主，达味之子，可怜我吧！我的女儿被魔鬼折磨得好苦。”(参看：玛15:22) 马尔谷在描述这位妇人的时候，他说：这个妇人是希腊人，出生于叙利亚腓尼基（参看：谷7:26）两位圣史并没有告诉我们，这位妇人是从哪里得知耶稣的。她或许是从耶稣选择做祂传教中心的葛法翁的百姓口中得知耶稣能医治各种疾病，并能驱逐魔鬼，因为我们知道：葛法翁是一个半外邦化的地区。

再后，玛窦告诉我们：耶稣并没有回应这妇人的请求，甚至耶稣的门徒也要求耶稣把她打发走（参看：玛15:23-24）在我服务过的一些堂区，我经常看到许多辅祭弟兄阻碍那些长时间没有进堂参与弥撒的主内兄弟姐妹找神父办告解，因为在他们看来，神父很忙，无暇顾及他们的需求。这一幕同样也发生在我们向天主献上祈求的时候，我们对天主满怀渴望，天主并没有回应我们。那时候，我们会和那些受到阻碍的主内弟兄姐妹一样，感到沮丧，认为天主不再爱我们了，祂似乎要从我们身上收回祂的圣神，并将我们置于死地。可是，这恰恰是一次锻炼我们信德的机会。因为天主愿意我们受少许的痛苦和磨难，使我们因着信德成义。

最后，玛窦给我们展现了这妇人和耶稣的对话（参看：玛15:25-28）我们从这对话中看到慈母教会的形象。慈母教会，当她发现，她的子女深受魔鬼和来自阴间使者的束缚时，她犹如一个慈母，为那些受困于罪恶之中的子女祈求耶稣。在慈母教会和这妇人身上，我们能看到五样美好的品德。（1）谦卑：“主，甚至桌下的狗也能吃孩子们的残羹剩饭。”（2）她的耐心：她耐心忍受看似救主对她的责备 （3）她的祈求：主，求祢可怜我。（4）她的坚忍：她不停祈求，直到得到她渴望得到的一切。（5）她的信德：“妇人，妳的信德真大”（参看：玛15:28）如果我们也能拥有这五种品德，我们就能摆脱各种魔鬼，从一切罪恶中得到解脱。愿上主赐给我们这样的能力。（参看：圣多玛斯·阿奎那：《讲道集四：有罪的灵魂》）

今天，这出生于叙利亚腓尼基的妇人的女儿，因着她母亲的信德，得到了痊愈。同样，我们也要如同这妇人一样，满怀对天主圣言的无限信靠，把那些亟待得到天主怜悯的人带到耶稣跟前，好使耶稣能从我们为他们献上的祈祷中看到我们对祂所怀的信德，对世人所怀的爱德，对祂广施慈恩的望德，按照祂的仁慈，使那些托我们祈求的人，我们主动为他们祈求的人，脱离罪恶和死亡的羁绊，重获天主真儿女的自由。

最后，让我们一起向天主献上祈祷：

天主，祢为孝爱祢的人所准备的，是看不见的美物。我们以对祢炽热的孝爱之心向祢恳求：使我们充满对祢的爱，爱祢于万有之上，好能获得祢远超众人渴望的恩典。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。

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28

Today is the Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Gospel passage from Saint Matthew presents Jesus’ dialogue with a Canaanite woman in the region of Tyre and Sidon. I would like to offer some reflections on this text.

First, Matthew tells us that Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon (cf. Matt 15:21). He clearly enters a Gentile territory, among people living outside the covenant. As I write these reflections, I am reminded of the present state of our Church. Today, the Church coexists with a secularized society. By “secularized society,” I mean a world that views all things not according to the worldview, values, and anthropology that Jesus came to establish for this passing world, but according to the mindset of this world which is passing away. Similarly, within our own Church, we often encounter “secularized” thinking. Such thinking within the Church seeks to handle various internal affairs according to the principles of the “children of this world,” rather than according to the Gospel. This mindset often undermines ecclesial communion and sows the seeds of schism within the Church which Christ founded upon the Apostle Peter.

Next, Matthew presents a woman crying out after Jesus: “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon” (cf. Matt 15:22). Mark, describing this woman, identifies her as a Greek, of Syro-Phoenician origin (cf. Mark 7:26). Neither Evangelist tells us how she came to know of Jesus. Perhaps she heard of His power to heal diseases and cast out demons from the people of Capernaum—His center for ministry—knowing that Capernaum was a semi-Gentile region.

Furthermore, Matthew tells us that Jesus initially did not respond to her plea, and even the disciples urged Him to send her away (cf. Matt 15:23-24). In some parishes where I have served, I have often seen sacristans or altar servers preventing the faithful—especially those who have been absent from Mass for a long time—from approaching the priest for Confession, arguing that the priest is too busy. A similar scene unfolds in our own prayer: we cry out to God with longing, and He seems not to answer. In such moments, like those turned away, we grow discouraged, thinking God no longer loves us, that He is withdrawing His Spirit and handing us over to death. Yet, this is precisely an opportunity to exercise our faith. For God permits us to endure a measure of suffering and trial so that we might be justified by faith.

Finally, Matthew recounts the dialogue between the woman and Jesus (cf. Matt 15:25-28). Here we see the image of the Church as a tender Mother. When Mother Church sees her children bound by the devil and the powers of the netherworld, she acts like a loving mother, interceding for her children trapped in sin. In this maternal intercession and in the Canaanite woman, we observe five virtuous dispositions: (1) Humility: “Even the dogs under the table eat the children’s scraps.” (2) Patience: She patiently bore what seemed to be the Savior’s rebuke. (3) Supplication: “Lord, have mercy on me.” (4) Perseverance: She persisted in prayer until she received what she desired. (5) Faith: “O woman, great is your faith!” (cf. Matt 15:28). If we possess these five virtues, we shall be freed from every demonic influence and delivered from all sin. May the Lord grant us this grace. (cf. Sermo IV: Anima peccati, St. Thomas Aquinas).

Today, the daughter of this Syro-Phoenician woman was healed by her mother’s faith. Likewise, let us, with unwavering trust in the Divine Word, bring before Jesus those who await His mercy. May He recognize in our prayers for them the faith we have in Him, the charity we bear for our neighbor, and the hope we place in His abundant compassion. According to His mercy, may He free those for whom we intercede—those we bring before Him—from the bonds of sin and death, restoring them to the freedom of the children of God.

O God, who have prepared for those who love you
good things which no eye can see,
fill our hearts, we pray, with the warmth of your love,
so that, loving you in all things and above all things,
we may attain your promises,
which surpass every human desire.
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

聖母升天節（日間彌撒）
福音：路1:39-56

教會在今天舉行聖母升天節的日間彌撒。榮福聖母瑪利亞的蒙召升天慶節，是敬禮聖母的諸多瞻禮中最重要的慶節。榮福聖母瑪利亞，她在結束塵世生活以後，靈魂和肉身一同升入光榮的天堂，她在那裡，侍立在身披金袍的愛子身旁。雖然教會在1950年才欽定榮福童貞聖母瑪利亞蒙召升天為當信的道理，可是，自初期教會以來，這道理已被基督徒廣泛接受。榮福童貞聖母瑪利亞真正引領了道路，她謙恭完成了自己的聖召，由於她是始胎無染原罪的，因此，墳墓不適於她的身體。如今，她所在的地方，就是我們所盼望，有朝一日，終能抵達的地方。

今天，聖母升天節的日間彌撒福音取自聖路加福音中最美的一段經文。我願意借此機會，提供一些反思。
我們從路加的記述中看到：榮福的童貞聖母瑪利亞，當她從天使加俾額爾的口中得知，她的親戚依撒伯爾在老年懷了男胎（參看：路1:36-37）以後，她立即動身，趕往匝加利亞的家（參看：路1:39-40），她向依撒伯爾所致的問候，具有雙重的問候。正如我在去年聖母升天節日間彌撒的每日聖言中提到的那樣：聖母和耶穌的祝福，同時來到匝加利亞的家。那在瑪利亞胎中的嬰孩耶穌，降福了祂的前驅洗者若翰和匝加利亞一家。她不僅帶著自己的問候，同時也帶著耶穌的問候。她不只問候了依撒伯爾，也問候了那在依撒伯爾胎中的洗者若翰。以致依撒伯爾說出了動人的話：“妳在女人中最蒙祝福，妳的胎兒也是蒙祝福的。我的主母親臨于我，這事怎會在我身上發生？因為妳問候的聲音一入我耳，我胎中的嬰孩就歡躍。那信了由上主傳給妳的話必要完成的，是有福的。”（參看：路1:42-43）
我們能從榮福的童貞聖母瑪利亞的言行中看到她的謙卑，她並沒有以她天主聖子之母的身份自居，她把自己稱作：“天主卑微的婢女”（參看：路1:46-48）以此給我們立了榜樣。因此，在這聖母升天節，讓我們效法榮福童貞聖母，謙恭向天主獻上祈禱：

全能永生的天主，祢把祢的聖子，無染原罪的童貞瑪亞的靈魂和肉身一起擢升到天國的光榮中。我們懇求祢：使我們常常關注天上的事，配得分享她的光榮。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。

教会在今天举行圣母升天节的日间弥撒。荣福圣母玛利亚的蒙召升天庆节，是敬礼圣母的诸多瞻礼中最重要的庆节。荣福圣母玛利亚，她在结束尘世生活以后，灵魂和肉身一同升入光荣的天堂，她在那里，侍立在身披金袍的爱子身旁。虽然教会在1950年才钦定荣福童贞圣母玛利亚蒙召升天为当信的道理，可是，自初期教会以来，这道理已被基督徒广泛接受。荣福童贞圣母玛利亚真正引领了道路，她谦恭完成了自己的圣召，由于她是始胎无染原罪的，因此，坟墓不适于她的身体。如今，她所在的地方，就是我们所盼望，有朝一日，终能抵达的地方。

今天，圣母升天节的日间弥撒福音取自圣路加福音中最美的一段经文。我愿意借此机会，提供一些反思。
我们从路加的记述中看到：荣福的童贞圣母玛利亚，当她从天使加俾额尔的口中得知，她的亲戚依撒伯尔在老年怀了男胎（参看：路1:36-37）以后，她立即动身，赶往匝加利亚的家（参看：路1:39-40），她向依撒伯尔所致的问候，具有双重的问候。正如我在去年圣母升天节日间弥撒的每日圣言中提到的那样：圣母和耶稣的祝福，同时来到匝加利亚的家。那在玛利亚胎中的婴孩耶稣，降福了祂的前驱洗者若翰和匝加利亚一家。她不仅带着自己的问候，同时也带着耶稣的问候。她不只问候了依撒伯尔，也问候了那在依撒伯尔胎中的洗者若翰。以致依撒伯尔说出了动人的话：“妳在女人中最蒙祝福，妳的胎儿也是蒙祝福的。我的主母亲临于我，这事怎会在我身上发生？因为妳问候的声音一入我耳，我胎中的婴孩就欢跃。那信了由上主传给妳的话必要完成的，是有福的。”（参看：路1:42-43）
我们能从荣福的童贞圣母玛利亚的言行中看到她的谦卑，她并没有以她天主圣子之母的身份自居，她把自己称作：“天主卑微的婢女”（参看：路1:46-48）以此给我们立了榜样。因此，在这圣母升天节，让我们效法荣福童贞圣母，谦恭向天主献上祈祷：

全能永生的天主，祢把祢的圣子，无染原罪的童贞玛亚的灵魂和肉身一起擢升到天国的光荣中。我们恳求祢：使我们常常关注天上的事，配得分享她的光荣。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。

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Mass during the Day)
Gospel: Lk 1:39-56

Today the Church celebrates the Mass during the Day for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Solemnity of the Assumption is, in many ways, the preeminent feast of Our Lady, as it commemorates her passing, body and soul, into the glory of heaven, where she stands beside her Son clothed in golden vesture. Though the dogma of the Assumption was only defined in 1950, it was widely held by the earliest Christians. The Blessed Virgin truly leads the way; she fulfilled her vocation in humility, and, because of her Immaculate Conception, the tomb was not fitting for her body. Where she is now, we hope one day to be.

The Gospel for today’s Mass during the Day is drawn from one of the most beautiful passages in the Gospel according to Luke. I would like to take this opportunity to offer some reflections.

From Luke’s account we see that, after learning from the Angel Gabriel that her kinswoman Elizabeth had conceived a son in her old age (cf. Lk 1:36-37), the Blessed Virgin Mary set out immediately for the house of Zechariah (cf. Lk 1:39-40). Her greeting to Elizabeth was twofold. As I noted in last year’s reflection for the Solemnity of the Assumption, both the blessing of Mary and the blessing of Jesus came upon the house of Zechariah together: the infant Jesus in Mary’s womb blessed His forerunner John the Baptist and the entire household of Zechariah. She bore not only her own greeting, but also the greeting of Jesus. She greeted not only Elizabeth, but also John the Baptist in Elizabeth’s womb. So much so that Elizabeth spoke those stirring words: “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who believed that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled.” (cf. Lk 1:42-43)

We see in the words and deeds of the Blessed Virgin Mary her profound humility: she did not presume upon her dignity as the Mother of the Son of God but called herself the “handmaid of the Lord” (cf. Lk 1:46-48), thus setting an example for us. Therefore, on this Solemnity of the Assumption, let us imitate the Blessed Virgin and humbly offer this prayer to God:

Almighty ever-living God,
who assumed the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Mother of your Son,
body and soul into heavenly glory,
grant, we pray,
that, always attentive to the things that are above,
we may merit to be sharers of her glory.
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.
