Saint Mark the Evangelist
Gospel: Mark 16:15–20

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist. The passage from the Gospel of Mark presents the final instruction Jesus gave to His disciples before His Ascension.

Our Lord Christ, rich in mercy, before He was taken up to Heaven, commanded His disciples to go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature (cf. Mk 16:15). Originally, this mission was entrusted to the Apostles. After receiving the Holy Spirit, they, through Baptism and the laying on of hands, imparted the Holy Spirit they had received more abundantly to those brethren who, through Christ’s Baptism and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, were to gain a more abundant life. Thus, they came to share in Christ’s royal, priestly, and prophetic office.

Today, we who have received Baptism in Christ Jesus through faith are united to the risen Lord and have received the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Like the Apostles of the early Church, we are called to serve Christ’s altar and proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom to the world. When we act in accordance with the Savior’s command and embrace His teaching, announcing the Gospel of the Kingdom to every creature according to the will of God, the life-giving Christ remains with us always, just as He promised the Apostles. He continues to manifest His mighty power through all that we do in our daily lives (cf. Mk 16:17–18). This enables those who witness our actions, performed in obedience to the Savior’s command, to join us in receiving new birth through water and the Holy Spirit by means of Baptism and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Thus, together with us, they may inherit the blessings God has prepared for us since the foundation of the world.

O God, who raised up Saint Mark, your Evangelist,
and endowed him with the grace to preach the Gospel,
grant, we pray,
that we may so profit from his teaching
as to follow faithfully in the footsteps of Christ.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

復活期第三周星期五 / 聖斐德理(司鐸殉道)
福音:若6:52-59

今天是復活期第三周星期五。教會在今天紀念聖斐德理。取自聖若望福音的經文繼續耶穌有關生命之糧的教導。

有時候,我們也會如同猶太人一樣,用現世的邏輯理解耶穌所說的肉和血,這是因為我們的理智是有限的。就連許多基督徒也說:今天,在聖堂的聖體龕內的,不是耶穌基督的聖體聖血,而是象徵耶穌的聖體聖血。也有些人說:當神父把聖體龕內的聖體拿出來,擺在祭臺上的時候,這時候,這個餅才是吾主耶穌基督的聖體聖血。還有一些人說:這個根本就不是耶穌基督的聖體聖血,不過是再普通不過的餅和酒罷了。如果我們對耶穌基督的聖體聖血的理解,與這些在聖體面前彼此爭論的兄弟姐妹一樣的話,那麼,我們就如同耶穌時代的猶太人一樣。沒有正確理解耶穌所說的話。因為,在他們看來,耶穌是要把自己身上的肉割下來,然後給他們吃。

耶穌所說的祂的肉和祂的血,具有聖經的意涵。祂的肉和祂的血,指的是祂的全部生命。每當我們領受祂的聖體聖血,就是接受祂的生命。正如我們可朽壞的身體需要可朽壞的食糧維繫,我們靈性的生命也需要基督的聖體聖血滋養。我們領受了祂的聖體聖血,祂就在我們內,我們也在祂內,彼此緊密不可分割。如此,“我生活,不再是我生活,而是基督在我內生活。我現今在肉身內生活,是生活在對天主子的信仰內。”(參看:迦2:20)

全能的天主,我們認識了救主復活的恩典,願我們藉著聖神之愛,復活進入新的生命。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。

今天是复活期第三周星期五。教会在今天纪念圣斐德理。取自圣若望福音的经文继续耶稣有关生命之粮的教导。

有时候,我们也会如同犹太人一样,用现世的逻辑理解耶稣所说的肉和血,这是因为我们的理智是有限的。就连许多基督徒也说:今天,在圣堂的圣体龛内的,不是耶稣基督的圣体圣血,而是象征耶稣的圣体圣血。也有些人说:当神父把圣体龛内的圣体拿出来,摆在祭台上的时候,这时候,这个饼才是吾主耶稣基督的圣体圣血。还有一些人说:这个根本就不是耶稣基督的圣体圣血,不过是再普通不过的饼和酒罢了。如果我们对耶稣基督的圣体圣血的理解,与这些在圣体面前彼此争论的兄弟姐妹一样的话,那么,我们就如同耶稣时代的犹太人一样。没有正确理解耶稣所说的话。因为,在他们看来,耶稣是要把自己身上的肉割下来,然后给他们吃。

耶稣所说的祂的肉和祂的血,具有圣经的意涵。祂的肉和祂的血,指的是祂的全部生命。每当我们领受祂的圣体圣血,就是接受祂的生命。正如我们可朽坏的身体需要可朽坏的食粮维系,我们灵性的生命也需要基督的圣体圣血滋养。我们领受了祂的圣体圣血,祂就在我们内,我们也在祂内,彼此紧密不可分割。如此,“我生活,不再是我生活,而是基督在我内生活。我现今在肉身内生活,是生活在对天主子的信仰内。”(参看:迦2:20)

全能的天主,我们认识了救主复活的恩典,愿我们藉着圣神之爱,复活进入新的生命。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。

Friday of the Third Week of Easter
Optional Memorial of Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, priest and martyr
Gospel: John 6:52–59

Today is Friday of the Third Week of Easter. The Church commemorates Saint Fidelis today. The passage from the Gospel of John continues Jesus’ teaching on the Bread of Life.

At times, like the Jews of old, we too try to understand Jesus’ words about His flesh and blood using merely worldly logic—for our human reason is limited. Even today, many Christians say: “What is in the tabernacle is not truly the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, but only a symbol.” Others claim: “It is only when the priest takes the host out of the tabernacle and places it upon the altar that the bread becomes the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Still others say: “This is nothing more than ordinary bread and wine.”

If our understanding of the Blessed Sacrament resembles that of these brothers and sisters who argue amongst themselves before the Eucharist, then we are no different from the Jews in Jesus ‘time. We fail to grasp the true meaning of His words. For they thought Jesus meant He would literally cut flesh from His own body to give them to eat.

The “flesh” and “blood” of which Jesus speaks carry profound biblical meaning. His flesh and His blood refer to His entire life. Whenever we receive His Body and Blood, we receive His very life. Just as our perishable bodies require perishable food to sustain them, so too does our spiritual life require nourishment from the Body and Blood of Christ. When we receive Him, He remains in us and we in Him—bound together inseparably. Thus: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God.” (cf. Gal 2:20)

Grant, we pray, almighty God, that we, who have come to know the grace of the Lord’s Resurrection, may, through the love of the Spirit, ourselves rise to newness of life. 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.

復活期第三周星期四 / 布拉格的聖亞德伯(主教,殉道)/ 聖喬治(殉道)
福音:若6:44-51

今天是復活期第三周星期四。教會在今天紀念兩位殉道聖人 —— 布拉格的聖亞德伯和聖喬治。取自聖若望的福音繼續向我們展現耶穌有關生命之糧的教導。

基督徒的一生時常有機會來到聖堂參與彌撒,時常能在完整舉行的感恩祭中領受吾主耶穌基督的聖體聖血。可是,是什麼吸引我們來到聖堂的呢?是聖堂裡的聖像吸引我們來的嗎?是聖堂裡不斷回蕩的頌揚上主的歌聲嗎?如果是這樣的話,那麼,我們就不是耶穌所說“聖父所吸引的人”(參看:若6:35)可是,當我們為了能聆聽天主聖言,為了能在聖事中加深我們與天主的關係,為了能與天主修好,決心來到聖堂,恭領餅和酒形下的耶穌基督的聖體聖血,如此,我們才是聖父所吸引的人。當我們領受吾主耶穌基督的聖體聖血時,我們就能看到天主聖父的本來面目,才能得到永生。因為耶穌說:“我是自天降下的食糧,誰若吃了這食糧,必要生活,直到永遠,我要賞賜的食糧,就是我的肉,為世界的生命而賜給的。” (參看:若6:51)

全能永生的天主,在這些日子裡,求祢因祢的恩典,讓我們更豐沛地體驗祢的憐憫,好使那些由錯謬黑暗中被拯救的人,能堅守祢真理的訓導。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 Third Week of Easter
Or Optional Memorial of Saint Adalbert, Bishop and Martyr
Or Optional Memorial of Saint George, Martyr
Gospel: John 6:44-51

Today is Thursday of the Third Week of Easter. The Church commemorates two martyr saints—Saint Adalbert of Prague and Saint George. The Gospel according to Saint John continues to present Jesus’ teaching on the Bread of Life.

The life of a Christian is often marked by opportunities to come to church to participate in Holy Mass and to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ in the fullness of the Eucharistic celebration. But what draws us to the church? Is it the sacred images that attract us? Or the hymns resounding in praise of the Lord? If so, then we are not among those whom “the Father draws” (cf. John 6:35). Yet when we come to church with the desire to hear the Word of God, to deepen our relationship with Him through the sacraments, and to be reconciled with God—resolutely approaching to receive the Body and Blood of Christ under the forms of bread and wine—then we are truly those drawn by the Father. When we receive the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are enabled to see the face of God the Father as He truly is, and we receive eternal life. For Jesus says: I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world. (cf. John 6:51)

Almighty ever-living God,
let us feel your compassion more readily
during these days when, by your gift,
we have known it more fully,
so that those you have freed from the darkness of error
may cling more firmly to the teachings of your truth.
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

復活期第三周星期三
福音:若6:35-40

今天是復活期第三周星期三。我們繼續聆聽耶穌有關生命之糧的教導。

我們時常會為每日的飲食而煩惱,有時候,我們需要付出更多的汗水,才能為自己賺得足夠養活自己和自己的家庭所需要的一切,因為我們在乎的,是我們的現世生命,以及那能使我們苟活於此變幻塵世的,可朽壞的食糧,而非那自天降下,並存留到永生的食糧。一如耶穌教導的那樣。(參看:若6:26-27)

我們時常認為,我們在完整舉行的彌撒聖祭中,由司鐸手中所領受的,不過是一個尋常的大麥餅,以及再尋常不過的葡萄酒,因為我們是按照屬於的眼光,看待司鐸為遵照救主的訓示,又承受祂的教導,在完整舉行的彌撒聖祭中,祝聖的吾主耶穌基督的聖體聖血。因而我們的想法,便與今日那些來到耶穌跟前的群眾一樣,將我們對天主的認識,只是停留在表面,而非超性層面,因此,我們會認為,我們在感恩祭中領受的只是尋常的大麥餅和葡萄酒,我們仍然無法避免死亡。

事實上,我們在領受基督的聖體聖血時,那創造和宰製萬有的天主,便來到我們心中,祂願意我們在內心深處與祂交談。那自天而降,來到我們心中的基督,不是為執行祂自己的旨意,而是為執行那派遣祂來的那一位的旨意,(參看:若6:37)為使我們活在祂滿盈的恩寵中,勇敢地棄絕罪惡,棄絕萬惡之源 —— 魔鬼,以及魔鬼的一切行為,穿上謙卑的服裝,全然地追隨基督,因信靠祂而獲得永生。

上主,求祢與祢的家庭同在,以祢的仁慈,確保祢所賜予恩典的人,在祢復活的獨生子內分享永生。祂是天主,和祢及聖神,永生永王。亞孟。

Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter
Gospel: John 6:35-40

Today is Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter. We continue to listen to Jesus’ discourse on the Bread of Life.

We are often anxious about our daily food. At times, we must expend much sweat to earn enough to support ourselves and our families. This is because we are concerned with our earthly life and with perishable food—the sustenance that allows us to subsist in this fleeting world—rather than with that Bread which comes down from heaven and endures unto eternal life, as Jesus teaches us (cf. John 6:26–27).

We frequently regard what we receive from the hands of the priest during the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as merely ordinary barley bread and common wine. This is because we view the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ—consecrated by the priest in obedience to the Savior’s command and in continuity with His teaching—through merely human eyes. Thus, our thinking mirrors that of the crowd who approached Jesus in today’s Gospel: our knowledge of God remains superficial, not supernatural. Consequently, we perceive only ordinary bread and wine in the Eucharist, failing to see beyond them to the reality that grants deliverance from death.

In truth, when we receive the Body and Blood of Christ, the God who creates and governs all things comes to dwell in our hearts. He desires to converse with us in the depths of our soul. The Christ who comes down from heaven into our hearts does not seek His own will, but the will of Him who sent Him (cf. John 6:37). He enables us to live within the fullness of His grace, to renounce sin courageously, to reject the devil—the source of all evil—and all his works, and to clothe ourselves in humility, following Christ completely, so that through faith in Him we may attain eternal life.

Be present to your family, O Lord, we pray,
and graciously ensure
those you have endowed with the grace of faith
an eternal share in the Resurrection of your Only Begotten Son.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever
