Friday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time
or Optional Memorial of Saint John of Capistrano
Gospel: Lk 12:54-59

Today is Friday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates today the Optional Memorial of Saint John of Capistrano, Priest.

The recently published Roman Missal tells us: Saint John of Capistrano (1386-1456) was married in his youth, but his marriage was later annulled. He gave up a promising career to become a Franciscan, and became known for his preaching in Italy and neighboring regions, often being entrusted with papal missions. After the Turks captured Constantinople in 1453, he recruited soldiers for the crusade through his preaching; in the 1456 Battle of Belgrade, he went to the front lines to encourage the victorious Catholic troops. Shortly afterwards, he died of the plague in Ilok, Croatia.

Today, the passage taken from the Holy Gospel of Luke presents to us the Lord Jesus teaching us to understand the Kingdom of God He proclaimed to us through the changes of the present world. Let’s try to understand.

We often obtain todays and future weather forecasts through traditional media (such as radio, television, newspapers) or new media (such as Weibo, WeChat, weather-related mobile apps, etc.), so as to prepare early for work to be done. Sometimes, as Jesus said (cf. Lk 12:54-55), we predict weather on earth and in the sky based on the scenes of all things we see with our naked eyes and thereby think that we fully understand the laws governing this world, and believe that with our own reason, we seem able to comprehend the wondrous dispensation of God, His work of redemption continuing in us.

In fact, as Jesus said to the crowds (cf. Lk 12:56-58), we often center on ourselves. When we proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom to those who, like us, are created in the image of God (cf. Gn 1:27), we often speak of the Word as we understand it according to our own interpretation of God’s will. As a result, those who listen to our self-based preaching and live according to what we preach may become our accusers on that unexpected day, denouncing our sins before God, so that we, because of our erroneous preaching, are cast into prison and must pay our debt to God and to our accusers until we have repaid the last penny.

Therefore, our conduct must be in accord with all that we have received. We should follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God, and by the aid of God’s Holy Spirit, put to death the rash impulses of the flesh that make us enemies of God, so that we may truly become children of God, completely freed from the death caused by sin. Furthermore, through our lives well-lived according to the teachings of God’s Word, the world may, like us, by receiving the same Baptism, belong to Christ, and by following the guidance of the same Holy Spirit, become children of God, and by sharing in the same Body and Blood of Christ, be united together in Christ, and be one in Christ.

Today is the Optional Memorial of Saint John of Capistrano, Priest. Let us imitate his virtuous example, discern God’s will from secular life, and readily accomplish the mission God has entrusted to us. Now, let us offer our prayer to God together:

O God, who raised up Saint John of Capistrano to comfort your faithful people in tribulation, place us, we pray, under your safe protection and keep your Church in everlasting peace. 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.

常年期第廿九周星期四
或 教宗聖若望保祿二世(自由紀念)
福音:路12:49-53

今天是常年期第廿九周星期四。教會在今天慶祝教宗聖若望保祿二世的自由紀念。

聖座禮儀及聖事部在2014年5月29日頒佈的《在羅馬禮儀日曆中加入教宗聖若望保祿二世和教宗若望廿三世的法令》中,是這樣介紹這位聖人的:卡洛爾·若瑟夫·沃伊蒂瓦(Karol Jósef Wojtyła)於1920年出生于波蘭的瓦多維采(Wadowice)。在羅馬被祝聖為司鐸,並完成神學研究以後,他返回祖國,承擔各種牧靈和學術任務。他先擔任克拉科夫(Kraków)的輔理主教;1964年,他獲任命,擔任克拉科夫總主教,並參加了梵蒂岡第二屆大公會議。1978年10月16日,他當選教宗,取名若望保祿二世。他傑出的使徒熱忱,尤其是對家庭、年輕人和病人的關懷,促使他多次前往世界各地進行牧靈訪問。在他留給教會的眾多遺產中,首推他豐富的教導,他頒佈《天主教教理》(Catechism of the Catholic Church),並為拉丁教會和東方教會頒佈《教會法典》(Codes of Canon Law)。2005年4月2日,復活期第二主日(即救主慈悲主日)前夜,他在羅馬安逝於主內。聖座官網提供的官方傳記告訴我們:教宗本篤十六世於2011年5月1日為他舉行宣福彌撒,2014年4月27日,教宗方濟各為他舉行封聖彌撒。

今天,取自聖路加福音的經文繼續給我們展現耶穌向我們揭示的新世界。讓我們來試著理解。

首先,聖路加告訴我們:耶穌對門徒說:“我來把火投在世上,我多麼渴望它已經燃燒起來!(參看:路12:49)

耶穌所說的火,是一種愛火。世界之所以需要祂的愛火,是因為這個世界所遵循的邏輯,是一個與耶穌提出的邏輯完全相對的邏輯。那些生活在正在消逝的世界的人,他們只想著自己的得失,自己的利益,沒有顧念到他人的利益,漸漸的,這個世界變得冷淡,那些在職場上關係處得很好的同事,也會因利益分配的不平等而選擇分道揚鑣。因此,這個世界,亟需得到耶穌的愛火,好使這個冷清的世界,重新變得有人情味。

接著,耶穌說:有一個洗禮,我必須領受,我極其苦痛,直到它得以完成!(參看:路12:50)

耶穌領受的,是一個怎樣的洗禮呢?祂要藉著自己所受的苦難,洗淨世人的靈魂,以祂在十字架上的聖死,為世人做補贖。當祂在約旦河,領受洗者若翰的洗禮時,祂就開始了祂淨化世界的工程。祂以祂的聖身,祝福了全世界的水泉,使水蘊含了祂天主性的生命,使世人能藉著領受祂的洗禮,洗去原罪給他們帶來的罪汙,並因著經常接受聖水的洗滌,內心得到療愈。

事實上,我們都領受過吾主耶穌基督的洗禮,也都領受過天主聖神的傅油,我們都曾下過決心,要接受耶穌所說的天主的世界,成為祂所說的天主的世界的一份子,我們都曾憧憬過一個和諧的世界,一個和諧的家庭。可是,耶穌告訴我們:從現在開始,一家有五口,將要分裂,三個反對兩個,兩個反對三個;父親要被分裂,反對自己的兒子,兒子要反對自己的父親;母親要反對自己的女兒,女兒要反對自己的母親;婆母要反對自己的兒媳,兒媳要反對自己的婆母。” (參看:路12:52-53)這意味著我們所接受的天主的世界,我們所遵循的耶穌教給我們的世界觀,人生觀,價值觀,註定會與屬於這個終將消逝的世界的人所遵循的世界觀,人生觀,價值觀發生激烈的碰撞,當我們遇到這樣的碰撞時,我們會怎麼做呢?如果我們選擇抗爭,那麼我們就不是成全的基督徒。如果我們效法良善的耶穌,安心接受這樣的痛苦,我們就真正進入耶穌所說的天國。因為耶穌說:“為義而受迫害的人是有福的,因為天國是他們的。”(參看:瑪5:10)那時候,我們將得到豐厚的賞報。(參看:瑪5:11-12)

今天,教宗聖若望保祿二世的自由紀念敬禮日。讓我們偕同普世教會,並偕同教宗聖若望保祿二世,一起向天主獻上祈禱:

富於仁慈的天主,祢願意聖若望保祿二世擔任教宗,管理祢普世的教會,求祢恩賜我們:受他的教導,好使我們能滿懷信心,向施恩的基督——人類的唯一救主——敞開我們的心扉。擔任教宗,管理祢普世的教會,求祢恩賜我們:受他的教導,好使我們能滿懷信心,向施恩的基督——人類的唯一救主——敞開我們的心扉。祂和祢及聖神,是天主,永生永王。亞孟。

今天是常年期第廿九周星期四。教会在今天庆祝教宗圣若望保禄二世的自由纪念。

接着,耶稣说:有一个洗礼,我必须领受,我极其苦痛,直到它得以完成!(参看:路12:50)

耶稣领受的,是一个怎样的洗礼呢?祂要藉着自己所受的苦难,洗净世人的灵魂,以祂在十字架上的圣死,为世人做补赎。当祂在约旦河,领受洗者若翰的洗礼时,祂就开始了祂净化世界的工程。祂以祂的圣身,祝福了全世界的水泉,使水蕴含了祂天主性的生命,使世人能藉着领受祂的洗礼,洗去原罪给他们带来的罪污,并因着经常接受圣水的洗涤,内心得到疗愈。

事实上,我们都领受过吾主耶稣基督的洗礼,也都领受过天主圣神的傅油,我们都曾下过决心,要接受耶稣所说的天主的世界,成为祂所说的天主的世界的一份子,我们都曾憧憬过一个和谐的世界,一个和谐的家庭。可是,耶稣告诉我们:从现在开始,一家有五口,将要分裂,三个反对两个,两个反对三个;父亲要被分裂,反对自己的儿子,儿子要反对自己的父亲;母亲要反对自己的女儿,女儿要反对自己的母亲;婆母要反对自己的儿媳,儿媳要反对自己的婆母。” (参看:路12:52-53)这意味着我们所接受的天主的世界,我们所遵循的耶稣教给我们的世界观,人生观,价值观,注定会与属于这个终将消逝的世界的人所遵循的世界观,人生观,价值观发生激烈的碰撞,当我们遇到这样的碰撞时,我们会怎么做呢?如果我们选择抗争,那么我们就不是成全的基督徒。如果我们效法良善的耶稣,安心接受这样的痛苦,我们就真正进入耶稣所说的天国。因为耶稣说:“为义而受迫害的人是有福的,因为天国是他们的。”(参看:玛5:10)那时候,我们将得到丰厚的赏报。(参看:玛5:11-12)

Thursday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time
Or Optional Memorial of Pope Saint John Paul II
Gospel: Lk 12:49-53

Today is Thursday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time. Today the Church celebrates the Optional Memorial of Pope Saint John Paul II.

The Decree of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments issued on May 29, 2014, titled The Inclusion of Popes Saint John Paul II and John XXIII in the Roman Calendar, introduces this saint as follows: Karol Józef Wojtyła was born in 1920 in Wadowice, Poland. After being ordained a priest in Rome and completing his theological studies, he returned to his homeland to undertake various pastoral and academic tasks. He first served as Auxiliary Bishop of Kraków; in 1964, he was appointed Archbishop of Kraków and participated in the Second Vatican Council. On October 16, 1978, he was elected Pope, taking the name John Paul II. His outstanding apostolic zeal, especially his care for families, young people, and the sick, prompted him to make numerous pastoral visits to all parts of the world. Among his many legacies to the Church, foremost is his rich teaching; he promulgated the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Codes of Canon Law for the Latin Church and the Eastern Churches. On April 2, 2005, on the eve of the Second Sunday of Easter (namely Divine Mercy Sunday), he peacefully fell asleep in the Lord in Rome. The official biography provided on the Holy See’s website tells us: Pope Benedict XVI celebrated his Beatification Mass on May 1, 2011, and Pope Francis celebrated his Canonization Mass on April 27, 2014.

Today, the passage from the Gospel of Saint Luke continues to present to us the new world revealed by Jesus. Let’s try to understand.

First, Saint Luke tells us: Jesus said to his disciples, “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!” (cf. Lk 12:49)

The fire that Jesus speaks of is a fire of love. The reason the world needs His fire of love is that the logic followed by this world is a logic completely opposed to the logic proposed by Jesus. Those who live in this passing world only think of their own gains and losses, their own interests, with no regard for the interests of others. Gradually, this world becomes cold; even colleagues who got along very well in the workplace will choose to part ways due to unequal distribution of benefits. Therefore, this world urgently needs the fire of Jesus’ love, so that this cold world may become humane once again.

Next, Jesus says: “There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished!” (cf. Lk 12:50)

What kind of baptism did Jesus receive? He was to cleanse the souls of the world through His own sufferings, and to make atonement for the world through His holy death on the Cross. When He received the baptism of John the Baptist in the Jordan River, He began His work of purifying the world. He blessed all the springs of water in the world with His sacred body, so that water might contain His divine life, enabling people to wash away the stain of original sin by receiving His baptism, and to be healed inwardly by frequently being washed with holy water.

In fact, we have all received the baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We have all made resolutions to accept the world of God as spoken by Jesus and to become part of that world of God; we have all envisioned a harmonious world and a harmonious family. But Jesus tells us: “From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” (cf. Lk 12:52-53) This means that the world of God we have accepted, the worldview, outlook on life, and values taught by Jesus that we follow, are destined to collide sharply with the worldview, outlook on life, and values followed by those who belong to this passing world. What will we do when we encounter such collisions? If we choose to resist, then we are not perfect Christians. If we imitate the good Jesus and peacefully accept such suffering, we truly enter the Kingdom of Heaven spoken of by Jesus. For Jesus said: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” (cf. Mt 5:10) At that time, we will receive a rich reward. (cf. Mt 5:11-12)

Today is the Optional Memorial of Pope Saint John Paul II. Let us, together with the Universal Church and together with Pope Saint John Paul II, offer our prayer to God:

O God, who are rich in mercy
and who willed that the blessed John Paul the Second
should preside as Pope over your universal Church,
grant, we pray, that instructed by his teaching,
we may open our hearts to the saving grace of Christ,
the sole Redeemer of mankind.
Who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

常年期第廿九周星期三
福音:路12:39-48

今天是常年期第廿九周星期三。取自聖路加福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌有關末世的教導。讓我們來試著理解。

首先,聖路加告訴我們:耶穌對自己的門徒說:“你們要知道這點:如果家主知道盜賊何時要來,他就不會讓他闖進自己的房子。你們也必須準備,因為在你們意想不到時候,人子就會來到。”(參看:路11:39-40)

我們時常會按照字面上來理解這段話。在我們看來,醒寤的意思,就是不睡覺,不眠不休。小偷的意思,就是那非法獲得我們所擁有的一切的人。如果我們這樣理解,那麼,我們就錯誤的理解耶穌所說的話。

耶穌所說的醒寤,是要讓我們的心神保持警覺。那麼,我們如何才能做到呢?就是要藉著祈禱與祂來往。一個人,當祂向天主獻上祈禱的時候,祂的心神就會與天主同在。我們知道,天主的生活的,在祂內充滿生命,祂不是一個死氣沉沉的天主,而是一個充滿活力的天主。富於仁慈的天主,決不會使那與祂自由來往的人變得死氣沉沉。
耶穌所說的小偷,在新約中極其普遍。保祿在他寫給得撒洛尼人的書信中,也用了這個圖像,他說:“你們深知,主的日子,會如同夜間的盜賊一樣來到。”我們也在聖伯多祿後書中找到:“主的日子,會如同盜賊一樣來到。”我們也在默示錄中,復活的主寫給那些在撒爾德教會中那些不警醒的人的信中看到:我會如同盜賊一樣,在你們不知不覺中,隨時來到你們這裡。

有時候,我們會把小偷想成是一種威脅。可是,耶穌所說的小偷,不再具有危脅的意思。相反,耶穌所說的小偷,不是來奪走我們所擁有的一切,而是來提醒我們要留意天主賞賜給我們每個人的恩典,善用祂賜給我們的一切,使祂賜給我們的一切,在這個變幻塵世,不斷發揮效能。

尊威,全能永生的天主,求祢使我們恒常持守與祢旨意相合的意願,並以誠摯之心事奉祢。藉著我們的主耶穌基督,祢的子,祂和祢及聖神,是天主,永生永王。亞孟。

Wednesday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Luke 12:39-48

Today is Wednesday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time. The Scripture passage taken from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke presents to us Jesus’ teaching on the end times. Let us try to understand it.
First, Saint Luke tells us that Jesus said to His disciples: “You may be sure of this: if the householder had known what time the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into. You too must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” (Cf. Luke 11:39-40)

We often understand these words literally. In our view, being watchful means not sleeping, staying awake without rest. A thief means someone who illegally takes everything we have. If we understand it this way, then we misunderstand what Jesus said.

The watchfulness that Jesus speaks of is to keep our spirit alert. So how can we achieve this? It is by communicating with Him through prayer. When a person offers prayer to God, his spirit is with God. We know that God is living, full of life in Him. He is not a lifeless God, but a vibrant God. The merciful God will never make those who commune with Him freely become lifeless.

The thief mentioned by Jesus is very common in the New Testament. Paul, in his letter to the Thessalonians, also used this image, saying: “You yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.” We also find in the Second Letter of Saint Peter: “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.” And in the Revelation, in the letter of the Risen Lord to those who are not watchful in the Church of Sardis, we see: “But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.”

Sometimes, we think of a thief as a threat. However, the thief Jesus speaks of no longer carries a threatening meaning. On the contrary, the thief Jesus speaks of does not come to take away everything we have, but to remind us to pay attention to the grace that God has bestowed upon each of us, to make good use of all that He has given us, so that all He has given us may continue to be effective in this changing world.

Almighty ever-living God,
grant that we may always conform our will to yours
and serve your majesty in sincerity of heart.
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

常年期第廿九周星期二
福音:路12:35-38

今天是常年期第廿九周星期二。取自聖路加福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌有關醒寤的教導。讓我們來試著理解。

耶穌對門徒說:”你們要束上腰,把你們的燈點燃,如同那些等待自己的主人,從婚筵回來的僕人一樣,為的是準備好,當主人來到時,立刻給他開門。主人來到的時候,遇到那些醒寤著的僕人,是有福的。”(參看路12:35-37)

在生活中,我們時常會看到許多光源。比如:那光照萬物的太陽。在福音中的一處記載說:天主使太陽上升,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)又如:那”正在進入這世界的,普照每人的真光。”(參看若1:9)也如今天福音開端,耶穌所說的:那點著的燈所發出的光亮。(參看路12:35-36)這一切生活中常見的光,都是天主賜給世界的恩惠,但它們終將會消逝。

今天,耶穌要求我們把燈點上,這燈,不再是我們生活中司空見慣的燈,而是我們在領受吾主耶穌基督的洗禮時所領受的基督之光。這光就是聖若望宗徒告訴我們的那在黑暗中照耀,黑暗決不能勝過的光。(參看若1:5)如果我們想讓這光常燃不滅,那就需要使我們的心神始終與吾主耶穌基督的聖心結合在一起。想要與吾主耶穌基督的聖心結合在一起,就需要不斷祈禱,勤讀聖經,藉著領受吾主耶穌基督的聖體聖血,使自己的靈魂得到充分的滋養,使我們信德的眼光,始終看到天主聖言的臨在,使我們能謙遜地聆聽天主聖言藉聖經和教會向我們的教導。靠著天主的恩寵,我們就能不斷克制不潔的思想和違背天主聖意的偏情,那時候,在現世生活中,就會不斷活出福音的精神,當我們看到那些饑餓的人、口渴的人、做客的人、赤身露體的人、患病的人、坐牢的人、弱小的人、被邊緣化的人,我們就會效法耶穌基督,無私幫助他們,使我們的心與耶穌的心合拍,那富於仁慈的天主,就會按照祂的聖意,賜給我們各種屬靈的恩典。

尊威,全能永生的天主,求祢使我們恒常持守與祢旨意相合的意願,並以誠摯之心事奉祢。藉著我們的主耶穌基督,祢的子,祂和祢及聖神,是天主,永生永王。亞孟。

今天是常年期第廿九周星期二。取自圣路加福音的经文给我们展现了耶稣有关醒寤的教导。让我们来试着理解。

耶稣对门徒说:”你们要束上腰,把你们的灯点燃,如同那些等待自己的主人,从婚筵回来的仆人一样,为的是准备好,当主人来到时,立刻给他开门。主人来到的时候,遇到那些醒寤着的仆人,是有福的。”(参看路12:35-37)

在生活中,我们时常会看到许多光源。比如:那光照万物的太阳。在福音中的一处记载说:天主使太阳上升,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)又如:那”正在进入这世界的,普照每人的真光。”(参看若1:9)也如今天福音开端,耶稣所说的:那点着的灯所发出的光亮。(参看路12:35-36)这一切生活中常见的光,都是天主赐给世界的恩惠,但它们终将会消逝。

今天,耶稣要求我们把灯点上,这灯,不再是我们生活中司空见惯的灯,而是我们在领受吾主耶稣基督的洗礼时所领受的基督之光。这光就是圣若望宗徒告诉我们的那在黑暗中照耀,黑暗决不能胜过的光。(参看若1:5)如果我们想让这光常燃不灭,那就需要使我们的心神始终与吾主耶稣基督的圣心结合在一起。想要与吾主耶稣基督的圣心结合在一起,就需要不断祈祷,勤读圣经,藉着领受吾主耶稣基督的圣体圣血,使自己的灵魂得到充分的滋养,使我们信德的眼光,始终看到天主圣言的临在,使我们能谦逊地聆听天主圣言藉圣经和教会向我们的教导。靠着天主的恩宠,我们就能不断克制不洁的思想和违背天主圣意的偏情,那时候,在现世生活中,就会不断活出福音的精神,当我们看到那些饥饿的人、口渴的人、做客的人、赤身露体的人、患病的人、坐牢的人、弱小的人、被边缘化的人,我们就会效法耶稣基督,无私帮助他们,使我们的心与耶稣的心合拍,那富于仁慈的天主,就会按照祂的圣意,赐给我们各种属灵的恩典。

尊威,全能永生的天主,求祢使我们恒常持守与祢旨意相合的意愿,并以诚挚之心事奉祢。藉着我们的主耶稣基督,祢的子,祂和祢及圣神,是天主,永生永王。亚孟。

Tuesday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Lk 12:35-38

Today is Tuesday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time. The passage taken from the Holy Gospel of Luke presents to us the Lord Jesus’ teaching on vigilance. Let us try to understand.

Jesus said to his disciples, “Gird your loins and light your lamps, and be like those servants who await their master’s return from the wedding banquet, ready to open for him immediately when he comes. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival.” (cf. Lk 12:35-37)

In our daily lives, we often see many sources of light. For example: the sun that illuminates all things. A passage in the Gospel says: God makes the sun rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. (cf. Mt 5:45) Another example: “the true light that enlightens everyone, coming into the world.” (cf. Jn 1:9) Also as at the beginning of today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks of: the light from a lamp that is lit. (cf. Lk 12:35-36) All these common lights in our lives are graces that God bestows upon the world, but they will eventually fade away.

Today, Jesus asks us to light our lamps. This lamp is no longer the common lamp we see in daily life, but the light of Christ that we received at the baptism of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This light is the light that St. John the Apostle tells us shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (cf. Jn 1:5) If we want this light to keep burning and never be extinguished, we need to keep our spirit always united with the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ. To be united with the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we need to pray unceasingly, read the Bible diligently, and by receiving the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, allow our souls to be fully nourished, so that the eyes of our faith may always see the presence of the Word of God, and that we may humbly listen to the teachings of the Word of God through the Bible and the Church. Relying on the grace of God, we can continually restrain impure thoughts and disordered affections that go against the will of God. Then, in our present life, we will constantly live out the spirit of the Gospel. When we see the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, those in prison, the little ones, and the marginalized, we will imitate Jesus Christ and selflessly help them, making our hearts beat in unison with the Heart of Jesus. Then the merciful God will, according to His holy will, bestow upon us various spiritual graces.

Almighty ever-living God,
grant that we may always conform our will to yours
and serve your majesty in sincerity of heart.
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
