Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Mt 13:24–43

Today is the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The passage from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew presents us with three parables spoken by Jesus. I wish to offer some reflections upon them.

From the parable of the wheat and the weeds, we discern our relationship with this world. Our relation to the world is as that of wheat to weeds. The world in which we now live is rife with occasions of sin and doers of evil (cf. Mt 13:41). We often desire to distance ourselves from every occasion of sin according to our own judgment, seeking to sever ties with those who do evil. Yet, whenever we act according to our own inclinations in this shifting world, we find it difficult to remain unstained or to draw a clear line between ourselves and evildoers. For the devil, the enemy of the human soul, “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (cf. 1 Pt 5:8). So long as we have breath, he exhausts every means to lure us away from God and into his company, preoccupying us with worldly affairs so that we have no time for God and His holy works.

From the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast, we see the Church’s relationship with the world. In the midst of the entire human family, the Church appears exceedingly small (cf. Mt 13:31, 33). If, in all things, we fulfill the holy will of God, practicing at every moment and in every circumstance all that Christ has taught—namely, following the guidance of the Holy Spirit in every situation and proclaiming the Gospel to all creation through word and deed—then, like the mustard seed grown into a tree, we shall welcome those who, having followed their own desires, have fallen into the snares of the devil (cf. Mt 13:32). Let us persevere in sacrifice and prayer for them, and like yeast, abide with them. Thus, the grace God bestows upon them—just as yeast leavens dough—may take effect within them. May they be turned away from every occasion of sin and cease from evil, so that, upon the completion of their earthly life, they may join the faithful servants who have entrusted themselves wholly to God. Together, freed from the bonds of sin and death, may they enter into His unapproachable light and, united with all the hosts of heaven, extol and praise the Lord forever. Only then will our actions correspond to the gifts we have received.

Show favor, O Lord, to your servants
and mercifully increase the gifts of your grace,
that, made fervent in hope, faith and charity,
they may be ever watchful in keeping your commands.
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

星期六紀念聖母
福音：瑪12:14-21

今天是常年期第十五周星期六。取自聖瑪竇福音的經文向我們展示了法利賽人因耶穌的門徒從麥田經過時，他們掐食麥穗，進而控告他們違背安息日的法律之事的後續。

首先，瑪竇告訴我們：法利賽人出去，商議控告耶穌，要把祂置於死地。（參看：瑪12:14）

法利賽人之所以選擇攻擊耶穌，甚至想要除掉耶穌，是因為耶穌所做的一切，不符合他們認為的安息日的法律。在他們看來：“六天應該勞作，做你一切的事；但第七天，是為恭敬天主，你的天主當守的日子；你自己，連同你的兒女，你的僕婢，你的牲口，以及在你中間居住的外方人，都不可做任何工作。”（參看：出20:9-10，申5:13-14）因此，耶穌在安息日伸手治病（參看：瑪12:9-13）甚至容許祂的門徒，在安息日路過麥田的時候，摘食麥穗（參看：瑪12:1-8）的行為，完全違背了他們對安息日的認知。又由於追隨耶穌的人數眾多，因此，他們決定要除掉耶穌。

接著，瑪竇告訴我們：耶穌一知道這事，祂就從那地方離開了。許多人跟隨祂，祂治好了他們，祂卻警告他們不要讓人知道祂。（參看：瑪12:15-16）這給了我們一個很好的榜樣。因為耶穌並沒有如同我們所想的那樣，以祂天主子的德能，強迫法利賽人接受祂的教導。祂選擇以謙讓和仁愛，繼續愛那些追隨祂，渴望得到祂醫治的人。

親愛的弟兄姐妹：作為天主子民，我們也要如同耶穌基督一樣，不再為自己生活，而是為宣揚福音而生活；我們也要如同耶穌基督一樣，時刻做到良善心謙，以此為主耶穌基督和祂的福音作證。如此，我們才能真正成為一個合格的基督徒。

天主，祢以真理之光，照耀迷途之人，引他們重返正途；求祢賜予所有奉基督之名而受洗的人恩寵，使他們能拒絕一切與基督之名相悖的事，並為弘揚此名的光榮，勉力踐行相稱之事。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。

首先，玛窦告诉我们：法利赛人出去，商议控告耶稣，要把祂置于死地。（参看：玛12:14）

法利赛人之所以选择攻击耶稣，甚至想要除掉耶稣，是因为耶稣所做的一切，不符合他们认为的安息日的法律。在他们看来：“六天应该劳作，做你一切的事；但第七天，是为恭敬天主，你的天主当守的日子；你自己，连同你的儿女，你的仆婢，你的牲口，以及在你中间居住的外方人，都不可做任何工作。”（参看：出20:9-10，申5:13-14）因此，耶稣在安息日伸手治病（参看：玛12:9-13）甚至容许祂的门徒，在安息日路过麦田的时候，摘食麦穗（参看：玛12:1-8）的行为，完全违背了他们对安息日的认知。又由于追随耶稣的人数众多，因此，他们决定要除掉耶稣。

接着，玛窦告诉我们：耶稣一知道这事，祂就从那地方离开了。许多人跟随祂，祂治好了他们，祂却警告他们不要让人知道祂。（参看：玛12:15-16）这给了我们一个很好的榜样。因为耶稣并没有如同我们所想的那样，以祂天主子的德能，强迫法利赛人接受祂的教导。祂选择以谦让和仁爱，继续爱那些追随祂，渴望得到祂医治的人。

Saturday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time
Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Gospel: Mt 12:14–21

Today is Saturday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time. The passage from the Gospel according to Saint Matthew presents us with the continuation of the account concerning the Pharisees’ accusation against Jesus’ disciples for plucking and eating grain as they passed through the fields on the Sabbath.

First, Matthew tells us: The Pharisees went out and took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death. (cf. Mt 12:14)

The reason the Pharisees chose to attack Jesus—even to seek His life—was that all He did stood in opposition to their understanding of the Sabbath Law. In their view: “Six days shalt thou labor, and shalt do all thy works. But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.” (cf. Ex 20:9–10; Dt 5:13–14). Therefore, Jesus’ healing of the man with the withered hand on the Sabbath (cf. Mt 12:9–13), and His allowing His disciples to pluck and eat grain as they walked through the fields on the Sabbath (cf. Mt 12:1–8), were utterly contrary to their understanding of the Sabbath. Moreover, seeing the multitudes following Jesus, they resolved to destroy Him.

Next, Matthew relates: Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from that place. Great crowds followed Him, and He healed them all, yet He warned them not to make Him known. (cf. Mt 12:15–16) This offers us a profound example. For Jesus did not, as we might expect, compel the Pharisees to accept His teaching by the power befitting His divine Sonship. Rather, He chose humility and mercy, continuing to love those who followed Him and sought His healing.

Beloved brothers and sisters: As God’s people, let us also, like Jesus Christ, no longer live for ourselves but for the proclamation of the Gospel. Let us, like Jesus Christ, be ever meek and humble of heart, bearing witness to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Gospel. Thus, and only thus, shall we truly become faithful Christians.

O God, who show the light of your truth to those who go astray, so that they may return to the right path, give all who for the faith they profess are accounted Christians the grace to reject whatever is contrary to the name of Christ and to strive after all that does it honour. 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.

Friday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Mt 12:1-8

Today is Friday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time. The passage from the Gospel according to Saint Matthew presents us with a dispute between Jesus and the Pharisees concerning the Law of the Sabbath. I wish to continue offering some reflections.

First, let us recall the Law of the Sabbath which God gave to Moses in the Old Testament: “Six days shalt thou labor, and shalt do all thy works. But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work on it, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy beast, nor the stranger that is within thy gates.” (cf. Ex 20:9–10; Dt 5:13–14). What, then, was forbidden on the Sabbath? Let us consider several examples: “Six days shalt thou work; on the seventh day thou shalt cease, even at ploughing time, and at harvest.” (cf. Ex 34:21); “Six days shall ye gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, and there shall be none.” (cf. Ex 16:26); “On the sabbath day kindle no fire in any of your dwellings.” (cf. Ex 35:1).

Those Pharisees who disputed with Jesus held that His disciples, by plucking ears of grain to eat as they passed through the fields on the Sabbath, were engaged in manual labor and thus violating the Law of the Sabbath. They therefore accused Jesus and His disciples of breaking the Sabbath law. Jesus did not enter into direct confrontation with them. Instead, He cited the example from the Old Testament when David, in obedience to a royal mission, came to Abimelech the priest on the Sabbath, seeking food. After Abimelech verified that David and his companions met the minimum requirements of the Law, he removed the old loaves of showbread from before the Lord and gave them to David and his men, replacing them with fresh bread (cf. 1 Sm 21:2–7). In this way, David’s urgent need was met, and the heart of God’s Law—mercy and love—was revealed.

Today, many among us come to church to fulfill ecclesiastical obligations rather than to honor God. They are unwilling to draw near to Jesus Christ, who comes to our hearts under the appearances of bread and wine in the Most Holy Eucharist. Upon leaving the church, they continue to live according to the ways of this world, failing to embody the spirit befitting citizens of the Kingdom of God of which Jesus speaks. Like the Pharisees, they harshly judge those who, moved by charity as God’s people, care for the needy and are thereby unable to attend Mass. When we encounter such persons, we must help them understand the sacraments rightly, so that they may live in the spirit of the children of God’s Kingdom, dwelling in His truth and love, unled astray by the darkness of sin and error, and ever guided by the light of the Holy Spirit.

O God, who show the light of your truth to those who go astray, so that they may return to the right path, give all who for the faith they profess are accounted Christians the grace to reject whatever is contrary to the name of Christ and to strive after all that does it honour. 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.

常年期第十五周星期五
福音：瑪12:1-8

今天是常年期第十五周星期五。取自聖瑪竇福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌和法利賽人之間，因安息日的法律引發的一場爭論。我願意繼續提供一些反思。

首先，讓我們來看，舊約中，天主給梅瑟頒佈的安息日法律：“六天應該勞作，做你一切的事；但第七天，是為恭敬天主，你的天主當守的日子；你自己，連同你的兒女，你的僕婢，你的牲口，以及在你中間居住的外方人，都不可做任何工作。”（參看：出20:9-10，申5:13-14）那麼，安息日禁止什麼呢？我們試著舉幾個例子：“你六天工作，但第七天，應當安息，連在耕種收穫的時期，也要安息。”（參看：出34:21）“六天，你們可以去收集瑪納，但第七天是安息日，什麼也沒有。”（參看：出16:26）“安息日，不准在你們住的一切地方生火。”（參看：出35:1）

那些與耶穌起了爭論的法利賽人，他們認為：耶穌的門徒在安息日在麥田裡掐麥穗吃，就是在從事體力勞動，違反了安息日的法律。於是，他們指責耶穌和祂的門徒違背安息日的法律。耶穌並沒有與他們正面衝突，而是援引舊約中，達味因執行王命，在安息日來到司祭阿希默肋客那裡，向他要求食物的時候，司祭阿希默肋客在查考達味和他的同伴是否符合法規定的下限以後，就把舊的聖餅從天主面前撤走，拿給達味和他的同伴，然後換上新的聖餅（參看：撒上21:2-7）解決了達味的急難，同時也彰顯了天主法律的核心：仁慈和愛。

今天，我們中間有許多人，他們為了滿足教會的規定，來到聖堂參與彌撒，他們並不是來恭敬天主的，只是為了完成自己的法定義務。他們不願意在那感人至深的聖體聖事中，與藉著餅和酒的形狀來到我們心中的耶穌基督來往。當他們離開聖堂的時候，他們依舊按照這個世界的規則行事，沒有活出屬於耶穌所說的天主之國的子民那樣的精神，他們如同法利賽人一樣，苛責那些因出於天主子民的愛德，照護那些需要關心的人，無法來到聖堂參與彌撒的人。當我們與他們相遇的時候，務要幫助他們正確理解聖事，使他們活出屬於耶穌所說的天主之國的子民那樣的精神，好使他們生活在天主的真理和仁愛中，不被罪過和錯誤的黑暗所誘引，常在天主聖神的光照和帶領下生活。

天主，祢以真理之光，照耀迷途之人，引他們重返正途；求祢賜予所有奉基督之名而受洗的人恩寵，使他們能拒絕一切與基督之名相悖的事，並為弘揚此名的光榮，勉力踐行相稱之事。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。

首先，让我们来看，旧约中，天主给梅瑟颁布的安息日法律：“六天应该劳作，做你一切的事；但第七天，是为恭敬天主，你的天主当守的日子；你自己，连同你的儿女，你的仆婢，你的牲口，以及在你中间居住的外方人，都不可做任何工作。”（参看：出20:9-10，申5:13-14）那么，安息日禁止什么呢？我们试着举几个例子：“你六天工作，但第七天，应当安息，连在耕种收获的时期，也要安息。”（参看：出34:21）“六天，你们可以去收集玛纳，但第七天是安息日，什么也没有。”（参看：出16:26）“安息日，不准在你们住的一切地方生火。”（参看：出35:1）

那些与耶稣起了争论的法利赛人，他们认为：耶稣的门徒在安息日在麦田里掐麦穗吃，就是在从事体力劳动，违反了安息日的法律。于是，他们指责耶稣和祂的门徒违背安息日的法律。耶稣并没有与他们正面冲突，而是援引旧约中，达味因执行王命，在安息日来到司祭阿希默肋客那里，向他要求食物的时候，司祭阿希默肋客在查考达味和他的同伴是否符合法规定的下限以后，就把旧的圣饼从天主面前撤走，拿给达味和他的同伴，然后换上新的圣饼（参看：撒上21:2-7）解决了达味的急难，同时也彰显了天主法律的核心：仁慈和爱。

今天，我们中间有许多人，他们为了满足教会的规定，来到圣堂参与弥撒，他们并不是来恭敬天主的，只是为了完成自己的法定义务。他们不愿意在那感人至深的圣体圣事中，与藉着饼和酒的形状来到我们心中的耶稣基督来往。当他们离开圣堂的时候，他们依旧按照这个世界的规则行事，没有活出属于耶稣所说的天主之国的子民那样的精神，他们如同法利赛人一样，苛责那些因出于天主子民的爱德，照护那些需要关心的人，无法来到圣堂参与弥撒的人。当我们与他们相遇的时候，务要帮助他们正确理解圣事，使他们活出属于耶稣所说的天主之国的子民那样的精神，好使他们生活在天主的真理和仁爱中，不被罪过和错误的黑暗所诱引，常在天主圣神的光照和带领下生活。

天主，祢以真理之光，照耀迷途之人，引他们重返正途；求祢赐予所有奉基督之名而受洗的人恩宠，使他们能拒绝一切与基督之名相悖的事，并为弘扬此名的光荣，勉力践行相称之事。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。

福音：瑪11:28-30

今天是常年期第十五周星期四。教會在今天慶祝加爾默耳山聖母的自由紀念日。最近出版的彌撒經書告訴我們：此自由紀念日旨在尊崇榮福童貞聖母為加爾默羅會主保。其後，這個瞻禮漸與相傳聖西滿思鐸（S. Simon Stock）於1251年7月16日所見的神視相連。佩帶象徵加爾默羅會會衣的“棕色聖衣”，即為信靠聖母慈助之標記，尤指托賴其於臨終時刻之庇佑。

今天，取自聖瑪竇福音的經文給我們展現了耶穌讚頌聖父以後，祂對那些在祂身邊的群眾說的一番話。我想說，這番話，對今天的我們而言，實在是極大的安慰。因為我們時常會面對各種各樣的壓力。比如：在校學生，他們會因升學考試，備受壓力；求職者，他們會因長時間找不到工作，面臨經濟上的壓力；上班族，他們會因上司給他們的業績指標，面臨隨時被辭退的壓力。

今天，耶穌溫柔地對我們說：“你們，凡勞苦和負重擔的，到我這裡來，我要賜給你們安息。”（參看：瑪11:28）便是在邀請把我們的壓力釋放出來，與祂分享我們的勞苦，那些壓得我們喘不過氣來的事情，以及我們內心深處的苦悶，祂在那裡，靜靜地等待我們，靜靜地聆聽我們的抱怨。祂更願意與我們分擔這一切。使我們因祂的仁慈，獲得片刻的喘息。

我們得到片刻的喘息以後，就要遵照耶穌的旨意，背起祂的軛（參看：瑪11:29）也就是要共同完成祂在世上的救贖工程，就是要把祂給世人的安慰和喜樂，以我們的生活，以我們的實際行動，帶給所有人，使世人因我們的服務，因我們生活的改變，看到祂的臨在。

天主，祢以真理之光，照耀迷途之人，引他們重返正途；求祢賜予所有奉基督之名而受洗的人恩寵，使他們能拒絕一切與基督之名相悖的事，並為弘揚此名的光榮，勉力踐行相稱之事。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。

Thursday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time / Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Gospel: Matthew 11:28–30

Today is Thursday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time. The Church celebrates the Optional Memorial of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The recently published Missale Romanum informs us: This Optional Memorial honors the Blessed Virgin Mary as Patroness of the Carmelite Order. In time, this feast came to be associated with the vision granted to Saint Simon Stock, said to have taken place on 16 July 1251. To wear the ‘Brown Scapular,’ a symbol of the Carmelite habit, is a sign of trust in Mary’s maternal aid, especially at the hour of death.

Today’s passage from the Gospel of Saint Matthew presents words spoken by Jesus to the crowds following His praise of the Father. I say that these words are, for us today, a source of immense consolation. For we constantly face various pressures: students are burdened by academic examinations; job seekers face financial strain from prolonged unemployment; working professionals endure the pressure of performance metrics and the threat of dismissal.

Today, Jesus says gently to us: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest” (cf. Matt 11:28). He invites us to release our burdens, to share our toil with Him—the weight that leaves us breathless and the deep-seated anguish within. He waits there in silence, listening to our laments. He desires to share in all our struggles, that through His mercy, we may find respite.

Having found this respite, we must take up His yoke, in accordance with His will (cf. Matt 11:29). This means participating in His work of redemption on earth: bringing the comfort and joy He offers to all people through our lives and deeds. Thus, through our service and the transformation of our lives, the world may behold His living presence.

O God, who show the light of your truth to those who go astray, so that they may return to the right path, give all who for the faith they profess are accounted Christians the grace to reject whatever is contrary to the name of Christ and to strive after all that does it honour. 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.
