Tuesday of the First Week in Ordinary Time
Or Optional Memorial of St. Hilary of Poitiers (Bishop and Doctor of the Church)
Gospel: Mark 1:21-28
Jesus’ Authority to Cast Out Demons

Today, the Church celebrates the optional memorial of St. Hilary, Bishop and Doctor of the Church. The records of the martyrs tell us that this bishop and doctor was born in the late 3rd century or early 4th century. At that time, the Arian heresy became prevalent among Christians. In the year 353, St. Hilary was elected bishop. During the early days of his episcopate, he was not well acquainted with this heresy. It was only after he was exiled that he began to study the Arian heresy and wrote numerous works to refute this heretical doctrine.

Today’s Mass Gospel is taken from the Gospel of St. Mark. The evangelist tells us that Jesus came to the synagogue in Capernaum and proclaimed the truth of the Kingdom of God to them. He did not continue the teachings of the scribes. For the God proclaimed by the scribes was a distorted image of God. This is similar to what we sometimes see in our Church today. When we participate in the Mass in the church, our parish priest, during the Liturgy of the Word, delivers a homily. When we listen to God speaking to us through them, if their homilies are different from what we are accustomed to hearing, we may be surprised. At that moment, we tend to judge based on our own understanding rather than according to God’s holy will.

Today, St. Mark tells us that Jesus not only preached in the synagogue but also, with the authority of the Son of God, cast out the unclean spirit there. This powerfully refutes the Arian heresy, for the Arian heresy claimed that since Jesus Christ was begotten by God the Father, He could not be as eternal, omnipotent, and omniscient as God the Father.

Dear brothers and sisters! Although we are not present in the synagogue of Capernaum today to listen to God’s word and witness what Jesus did for the man possessed by an unclean spirit, we should still stand firm in faith and fully accept the teachings of Christ in our daily lives. We should make good use of the various graces that God bestows upon us through His beloved Son so that our thoughts, words, and deeds may increasingly resemble those of Christ, and we may continually follow Him towards eternal life.

St. Hilary, bishop, pray for us. Amen.

悔改並追隨耶穌

今天,耶穌來到加里肋亞宣講天主的福音。祂所宣講的福音,不是法利賽人,撒杜賽人,黑落德党人,百姓的經師和領袖所宣講的福音。祂所宣講的是愛的福音,祂要向所有人表明:祂所宣講天主,是一個主動與人來往,主動愛人,甚至為了世人,舍掉自己的天主。

聖史馬爾谷告訴我們:今天,耶穌召叫西滿和他的兄弟安德肋,載伯德的兒子雅各伯和若望,祂邀請他們成為祂的首批門徒。西滿、安德肋,雅各伯的若望,他們在完成各自的工作時蒙主召叫,他們並沒有貪戀當下他們所擁有的一切,沒有顧念他們的家人,他們選擇冒著風險,跟隨耶穌,選擇耶穌指給他們的一條新穎道路,以此給我們立了榜樣。

親愛的兄弟姐妹!天主時常會通過我們生活中經歷的一切來召叫我們,使我們從生活中發現天主在我們身上開始的計畫。因此,今天,讓我們效法西滿、安德肋,雅各伯的若望,在日常生活中通過祈禱來分辨天主在我們身上開始的工作,勇敢捨棄自己的一切,緊緊追隨基督,走向永生。

聖西滿、聖安德肋,聖雅各伯,聖若望,請為我們祈禱。亞孟。

Monday of the First Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Mark 1:14-20
Repent and Follow Jesus

Today, Jesus came to Galilee to proclaim the Gospel of God. The Gospel He proclaimed was not the same as that proclaimed by the Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, the scribes of the people, and their leaders. The Gospel He proclaimed was the Gospel of love. He wanted to show everyone that the God He proclaimed is a God who actively reaches out to people, who loves people, and who even gave Himself up for the sake of the world.

The Evangelist Mark tells us that today, Jesus called Simon and his brother Andrew, as well as James, the son of Zebedee, and John. He invited them to become His first disciples. Simon, Andrew, James, and John were called by the Lord while they were engaged in their respective work. They did not cling to what they had at that moment, nor did they worry excessively about their families. Instead, they chose to take the risk and follow Jesus, choosing the new path that Jesus pointed out to them. In doing so, they set an example for us.

Dear brothers and sisters! God often calls us through all the experiences we go through in life, enabling us to discover the plan that God has begun in us. Therefore, today, let us follow the example of Simon, Andrew, James, and John. In our daily lives, through prayer, let us discern the work that God has begun in us, courageously abandon everything of our own, and cling closely to Christ, walking toward eternal life.

Saint Simon, Saint Andrew, Saint James, Saint John, pray for us. Amen.

聖誕後第三主日:主受洗節
福音:瑪3:13-17
領受洗禮的天主聖言

今天,當耶穌來自約旦河,想要接受洗者聖若翰的洗禮時,洗者若翰曾想要阻止耶穌,因為他明認耶穌基督是創造宇宙和大地塵寰的主宰,因此,當他看到耶穌基督向他走來,要從他的手中領受洗禮時,他立即向耶穌表明,自己應當接受基督的洗禮,而非基督由自己的手中領受洗禮。

富於仁慈的主基督,祂雖具有天主的形體,並沒有以自己與天主同等,為應當把持不舍的,卻使自己空虛,取了奴僕的形體,與人相似,形狀也一見如人。(斐2:6-7)耶穌藉與人相似的形狀出現在人間,並以祂的聖身,祝聖了同為受造物的水源,給這個世界帶來永久的救恩。我們在領受基督的聖洗時所用的泉水,便在耶穌在約旦河時,以祂的聖身所祝聖的。當我們領受基督的聖洗時,我們便是在祂的聖肋之水中洗潔了自己的原罪,與基督同死,與祂同葬,與祂結合,為能在祂光榮復活時,在復活的主基督內,開始新的生命。

今天,出現在世人眼前的聖神,祂並沒有選擇在五旬節主日那樣,以強烈的火舌形象出現,而是選擇以鴿子的形象出現,意在告訴我們:天主聖三不是法利賽人所說的那個嚴苛的天主,更不是那個如同撒杜賽人所說的那個只喜愛物質上的祭品而非喜愛一顆謙遜和痛悔的心的天主,而是一個愛世人勝過愛祂自己的天主,是一個主動與人接觸的天主,是一個既包容那些恪守天主法律的人,又包容所有那些犯罪得罪祂的人的天主。

在此聖誕後第三主日:主受洗節,讓我們牢記在領受入門聖事時宣發過的信德誓言,忠於天主聖言,相稱完成天主託付給我們的使命。亞孟。

The Third Sunday after Christmas: The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
Gospel: Matthew 3:13-17
The Word of God Who Received Baptism

Today, as Jesus came from the Jordan River to receive the baptism of St. John the Baptist, St. John attempted to prevent Him. For John recognized Jesus Christ as the Lord and Creator of the universe and all creation. Thus, upon seeing Jesus approach him to be baptized at his hands, he immediately told Jesus that it was he who needed to be baptized by Christ, not the other way around.


The merciful Lord Christ, though He existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped. Instead, He emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant and being made in human likeness (Philippians 2:6-7). Jesus appeared among humanity in a form similar to ours, and with His sacred Body, He sanctified the waters—which are themselves creatures—bringing eternal salvation to the world. The very waters we use in receiving Christ’s Holy Baptism were thus consecrated by Him at the Jordan River. When we receive the sacrament of Holy Baptism, we are washed clean of original sin in the water associated with His passion; we die with Christ, are buried with Him, and are united with Him. In this way, we may begin a new life in the risen Lord at His glorious Resurrection.


Today, the Holy Spirit, who appears before the eyes of the world, does not choose to manifest in the powerful image of fiery tongues as on Pentecost Sunday. Instead, He chooses the form of a dove. This is to tell us that the Holy Trinity is not the harsh God described by the Pharisees, nor is it the God loved by the Sadducees, who preferred material offerings to a humble and contrite heart. Rather, He is a God who loves humanity more than Himself, a God who actively seeks communion with humanity, a God who embraces both those who observe His Law and all those who have sinned against Him.


On this Third Sunday after Christmas, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, let us deeply remember the profession of faith we made when receiving the sacraments of Christian initiation. Let us remain faithful to the Word of God and worthily accomplish the mission entrusted to us by God. Amen.

主顯節後星期六
福音:若3:22-30
祂必須強大,我必須衰微

我們可能時常會思考這樣的問題:耶穌與祂的前驅若翰一起給眾人施行洗禮。那麼誰的洗禮才更有神益呢?從禮儀上來看,洗禮用的水,本來是用來給人帶來新生命的,更是給人帶來潔淨的。因此,這洗禮用的水,本身並不發生實際的效果。

如果我們仔細讀福音,便會發現,當聖路加論及洗者聖若翰施行的洗禮時,他曾記述道:若翰遂來走遍約但河一帶地方,宣講悔改的洗禮,為得罪之赦。(參看:路3:3)當若翰論及基督時,他曾這樣作證說:“我固然要以水洗你們,但是比我強的一位要來,就是解祂的鞋帶,我也不配。祂要以聖神和水洗你們。”(參看:路3:16)由此我們可以看到,若翰施行的洗禮只是表達我們對自己犯的罪的棄絕。當我們由神父的手中領受基督的聖洗時,我們便是由基督的聖肋所流出的血和水中,一次而又永久地洗淨了自己的原罪。當我們領受基督的聖神時,這天主聖神,便將祂的言語注入我們的五內,使我們生活在天主的無限慈愛中。

親愛的主內!我們既因著領受基督的聖洗與基督結合,並因領受天主聖神的傅油,成了天主的兒女,我們就要效法洗者若翰的謙遜,吾主耶穌基督的溫良,天主聖神的聖潔,事事以天主和福音的傳播為先,以徹底更新的生活態度,全力協助基督和祂的教會,向這變幻的塵世宣講天主聖言,使普世萬民,因著領受天主聖言,不再生活在不自由的境地下,常生活在天主的恩典中。

洗者聖若翰,請為我們祈禱。亞孟。

Saturday after the Epiphany
Gospel: John 3:22 – 30
He Must Increase, I Must Decrease

We may often ponder such a question: Jesus and His precursor John were both baptizing the crowds. Whose baptism was more spiritually beneficial? From a liturgical perspective, the water used in baptism is meant to bring new life and, more importantly, purification. Thus, the water itself does not produce any actual effect.


If we read the Gospel carefully, we will find that when St. Luke spoke of the baptism administered by St. John the Baptist, he recorded: “John came throughout the region of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.”(cf. Lk 3:3) When John spoke of Christ, he testified thus: “I baptize you with water; but one mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and water.”(cf. Lk 3:16) From this we can see that John’s baptism was merely an expression of our renunciation of our own sins. When we receive the Sacrament of Baptism from Christ through the hands of a priest, we are once and for all cleansed of original sin by the blood and water that flowed from Christ’s Sacred Side. When we receive the Holy Spirit of Christ, this Divine Spirit infuses His Word into our hearts, enabling us to live in the infinite love of God.


Dear brothers and sisters in Christ! Since we have been united with Christ through the Sacrament of Baptism and have become children of God by receiving the Anointing of the Holy Spirit, we must imitate the humility of St. John the Baptist, the meekness of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the holiness of the Holy Spirit. We must put God and the spread of the Gospel first in all things, and with a completely renewed attitude of life, fully assist Christ and His Church in proclaiming the Word of God to this changing world. May all peoples of the earth, by receiving the Word of God, no longer live in bondage but always dwell in the grace of God.


St. John the Baptist, pray for us. Amen.
