Apostle Matthias
John 15:9-17
“I Call You Friends”

Today, the Gospel offers us a beautiful and intimate word from Jesus: “I do not call you servants any longer, but friends.”(Jn 15:15)

In Scripture, to be called a servant of God is already a high honour. Think of Moses, David, Elijah, even Mary – they were called to great missions and entrusted with God’s treasures. But Jesus wants something more for us. Not just roles or responsibilities, but a relationship. He calls us friends.

Friendship is one of life’s most precious gifts. As children, we share toys with our friends. As teenagers, we share secrets. As adults, we share our joys and sorrows. Friendship grows through trust, honesty, and presence. And a true friend doesn’t walk away—even when we make mistakes.

That’s exactly what Jesus offers us. Even when betrayed, He calls Judas “friend” (Mt 26:50). Even in our weakness, He shares everything He has with us: His love, His word, His life. This is not friendship by merit, but by grace. He places Himself in our hands, not because we deserve it, but because He chooses us.

Today we also remember St. Matthias, the Apostle chosen to take the place of Judas. He was selected not for ambition or popularity, but because he had “been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us” (Acts 1:21). He reminds us that friendship with Jesus grows through faithful presence. Like Matthias, we are called to remain close to the Lord and be witnesses of His resurrection.

So today, we’re invited to reflect:
Is Jesus truly a friend to me, or just a distant figure?
Do I live as His friend—with trust, honesty, and love?
And when others fail, do I treat them as Jesus treats me—with friendship that forgives and remains?
Let’s ask the Lord to renew our friendship with Him—real, personal, and faithful. And may Mary, His closest friend on earth, help us to share His friendship with others.

復活期第四周星期二 / 法蒂瑪聖母
福音：若10:22-30
在信仰自由中行走

“我的羊聽我的聲音；我認識他們，他們跟隨我。”（參看：若10:27）

今天，普世教會慶祝聖母顯現給在法蒂瑪的三個孩子180周年。法蒂瑪的訊息，依然與當今世界和教會有關，要為世界的皈依，並要為世界和平祈禱。

在此復活慶期內，我們繼續與復活的基督相遇，祂走在我們中間，按照我們每人的名字呼喚我們。在福音經文，人們向耶穌施壓，他們對耶穌說：“如果禰是默西亞，就直接告訴我們吧。”耶穌沒有以新的啟示回應他們，而是溫柔地提醒他們說：“我告訴你們，你們也不相信。”

信仰不只是與接受新訊息有關，它也我們向耶穌敞開心扉，認出祂的聲音，追隨祂的引導有關。然而，我們常常發現，有時候，我們以為自己在祂的羊群內，但是，我們並不真正屬於祂的羊群。

是什麼阻礙了我們呢？

有時候，物質上的財富阻礙了我們，而真正阻礙我們的，是那微妙地使我們獲得安全感的財富，地位和安逸。有時候，僵化的心態阻礙我們，我們執著於規則和掌控，而是執著於尋求天主的憐憫。有時候，冷漠會在我們心中生根，這會使我們的心神感到沉重，削弱我們的渴望。有時候，我們會被世俗，聖職人員的態度，把簡單的福音複雜化所困。

這一切都會產生噪音，使人更難以聽到耶穌的聲音。

可是，復活的主，給我們提供完全不同的東西：自由。這種自由來自傾聽他的聲音，知道我們是被愛的，並選擇每天跟隨祂，哪怕是在道路不確定的時候。

在這復活期，讓我們問問自己：是什麼阻礙我們在信仰上前進？我是否能真正自由地跟隨耶穌，還是執著於追求別的東西？

基督是羊棧的門，願上主賜給我們勇氣，好使我們走過這門，懷著一顆喜樂的心，信賴祂的心跟隨祂。

Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Easter
OR Optional Memorial of Our Lady of Fatima
John 10:22-30
Walking in the Freedom of Faith
“My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27)

The Church celebrates the 108th anniversary of the apparition of Our Lady to three children in Fatima. The Message of Fatima is still relevant for today’s world and the Church – to pray for the conversion of the world and for world peace.

During this Easter Octave, we continue to encounter the Risen Christ who walks among us and calls each of us by name. In the Gospel, the people press Jesus, saying, “If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” Jesus responds, not with a new revelation, but with a gentle reminder: “I told you, and you do not believe.”

Faith is not simply about receiving new information—it’s about opening our hearts to Jesus, recognising His voice, and following where He leads. Yet we often find it difficult to truly belong to His flock, even when we think we are already inside the gate.

What holds us back?

Sometimes, it is wealth, not just material riches, but the subtle ways we place our security in possessions, status, or comfort. Other times, it’s a rigid mindset, where we cling more to rules and control than to trust in God’s mercy. Apathy, too, can take root: a heaviness of spirit that dulls our desire for more. Or we may be burdened by worldly distractions, clerical attitudes, or even religious ideologies that complicate the simplicity of the Gospel.

All of these create noise that makes it harder to hear the voice of Jesus.

But the Risen Lord offers something radically different: freedom. A freedom that comes from listening to His voice, knowing we are loved, and choosing to follow Him—day by day, even when the path feels uncertain.

This Easter, let us ask ourselves: What is keeping me from moving forward in faith? Am I truly free to follow Jesus, or am I clinging to something else?

May the Lord grant us the courage to walk through the door that is Christ Himself, and to follow Him with joyful, trusting hearts.

復活期第四周星期一
福音：若10:1-10
分辨耶穌的聲音

“羊聽祂的聲音，祂按照羊的名字呼喚屬於自己的羊。”（參看：若10:3）

在這復活八日慶期，福音給我們講論復活之主，祂按照我們每個人的名字呼喚我們。祂從不疏遠我們，從不對我們漠不關心 —— 祂瞭解我們每個人，親近我們每個人。祂的聲音溫柔地對我們的心說話。然而，在我們的內心深處，有許多聲音，不斷回蕩：有些是真實的，能帶給我們生命，有些是虛假的，具有破壞性的。

在如此眾多的內外干擾中，我們怎樣才能學會分辨耶穌的聲音？

救主的聲音，從不強迫，從不欺騙。祂總是邀請，總是鼓勵，總是安慰。此時此刻，祂在說：“現在，你們可以去愛，可以去寬恕，可以選擇良善。” 這個聲音總是在邀請我們，而且常引導我們走向和平，使我們更相信祂。

另一方面，誘惑的聲音常是緊迫的，它善於操縱我們。這個聲音討好我們，可是，很快，這個聲音會控告我們。這個聲音使我們專注於對過去感到遺憾，使我們對未來感到焦慮。它助長孤立，恐懼和自私。它許給我們片刻的歡愉，隨後，它讓我們感到不安和痛苦。

復活的主想要帶領我們擺脫這些限制。祂的聲音邀請我們行走在真光中，活在真理中，相信祂的愛。祂藉著聖經，祈禱，他人真誠提出的建議向我們發言。祂呼籲我們不只是聆聽，而且也要跟隨祂。

在此神聖的一周，讓我們靜下心來，問問自己：我所追隨的是哪個聲音？是把我帶入自由的，還是令我感到恐懼的？讓我們向上主祈求恩典，好使我們能認出基督的聲音，祂戰勝了死亡，以信德，喜樂和開放的心跟隨祂。

願善導之母，榮福童貞瑪利亞，指引我們走上聆聽和分辨的道路。

分辨耶稣的声音

“羊听祂的声音，祂按照羊的名字呼唤属于自己的羊。”（参看：若10:3）

在这复活八日庆期，福音给我们讲论复活之主，祂按照我们每个人的名字呼唤我们。祂从不疏远我们，从不对我们漠不关心 —— 祂了解我们每个人，亲近我们每个人。祂的声音温柔地对我们的心说话。然而，在我们的内心深处，有许多声音，不断回荡：有些是真实的，能带给我们生命，有些是虚假的，具有破坏性的。

在如此众多的内外干扰中，我们怎样才能学会分辨耶稣的声音？

救主的声音，从不强迫，从不欺骗。祂总是邀请，总是鼓励，总是安慰。此时此刻，祂在说：“现在，你们可以去爱，可以去宽恕，可以选择良善。” 这个声音总是在邀请我们，而且常引导我们走向和平，使我们更相信祂。

另一方面，诱惑的声音常是紧迫的，它善于操纵我们。这个声音讨好我们，可是，很快，这个声音会控告我们。这个声音使我们专注于对过去感到遗憾，使我们对未来感到焦虑。它助长孤立，恐惧和自私。它许给我们片刻的欢愉，随后，它让我们感到不安和痛苦。

复活的主想要带领我们摆脱这些限制。祂的声音邀请我们行走在真光中，活在真理中，相信祂的爱。祂藉着圣经，祈祷，他人真诚提出的建议向我们发言。祂呼吁我们不只是聆听，而且也要跟随祂。

在此神圣的一周，让我们静下心来，问问自己：我所追随的是哪个声音？是把我带入自由的，还是令我感到恐惧的？让我们向上主祈求恩典，好使我们能认出基督的声音，祂战胜了死亡，以信德，喜乐和开放的心跟随祂。

愿善导之母，荣福童贞玛利亚，指引我们走上聆听和分辨的道路。

Monday of the Fourth Week of Easter
John 10: 1-10
Discerning the voice of Jesus
“The sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name.” (John 10:3)

In this Easter Octave, the Gospel speaks to us of the Risen Lord who calls each of us by name. He is not distant or indifferent—He knows us personally and intimately, and His voice speaks gently to our hearts. Yet within us echo many voices: some true and life-giving, others false and destructive.

How can we learn to discern the voice of Jesus in the midst of so many inner and outer distractions?

The voice of the Lord never forces, never deceives. It invites, encourages, and consoles. It speaks to the present moment: “Now you can love, now you can forgive, now you can choose the good.” This voice may challenge us, but it always leads us toward peace and deeper trust.

On the other hand, the voice of temptation is urgent and manipulative. It flatters us, but soon accuses. It fixates on regrets of the past or anxieties about the future. It fosters isolation, fear, and selfishness. It promises quick joy but leaves us feeling restless and bitter.

The Risen Jesus wants to lead us out of these enclosures. His voice invites us to walk in light, to live in truth, and to trust in His love. He speaks through Scripture, through prayer, and through the sincere counsel of others. He calls us not only to hear—but to follow.

In this sacred week, let us quiet our hearts and ask: Which voice am I following? Is it drawing me into freedom, or into fear? Let us pray for the grace to recognize the voice of Christ—the One who conquered death—and to follow Him with trust, joy, and open hearts.

May Mary, Mother of Good Counsel, guide us in this path of listening and discernment.

復活期第四主日

聆聽，認識，跟隨

在此善牧主日，福音經文（若10:27-30）受復活八日慶期的歡樂啟迪，邀請我們更深刻地反思耶穌（復活的牧者）的溫柔和力量。“我的羊聽我的聲音；我認識他們，他們跟隨我。”這些話不只是詩意化的表達，也是人性化的表達。我們在這些話內，藉著聆聽，認識，跟隨，找到成為門徒的道路。

善牧離我們並不遙遠。祂常尋找我們，呼喚我們，溫柔喊出我們的名字。我們是否騰出時間，在祈禱，聖經，靜默中聆聽祂的聲音？在充滿噪音和干擾的世界，我們必須學會再次聆聽，不單要用耳朵，而且要敞開心扉聆聽祂的聲音。復活的基督向所有感到疲憊的人說出的，和平和希望的言語。

想要認識善牧，只要在我們內心深處去理解祂，去愛祂，去認識祂。耶穌不僅知道我們是誰，也知道我們的創傷和恐懼。祂依然愛我們。十字架和復活，就是沒有什麼能把我們和祂的愛分開的證據。在我們的幽谷，祂與我們同行，從來沒有拋棄我們。

因此，我們蒙召去跟隨祂。就像羊相信自己的牧者，跟隨自己的牧者一樣，我們也要跟隨基督，效法祂的仁慈和憐憫。追隨復活的牧者，就是要提攜他人，向迷失的人伸出援手，高興地服務他人。復活不只是將來榮耀的恩許，也是向如今業已復活，與祂相似之人發出的邀請。

在此善牧主日，願我們能認出祂的聲音，在祂慈愛的目光中休息，以慷慨的心回應祂。善牧依然是生活的。祂認識你。祂在呼喚你。你會跟隨祂嗎？

Fourth Sunday of Easter
John 10: 27-30
Hearing, knowing, and following

On this Good Shepherd Sunday, within the joyful light of the Easter Octave, the Gospel (John 10:27–30) invites us to reflect deeply on the tenderness and strength of Jesus, our Risen Shepherd. “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” These words are not just poetic—they are profoundly personal. In them, we find the path of discipleship through hearing, being known, and following.

The Good Shepherd is not distant. He is the One who seeks, calls, and gently speaks our names. Do we make space to hear His voice in prayer, Scripture, and silence? In a world flooded with noise and distractions, we must learn to listen again—not just with our ears, but with hearts open to His Word. The Risen Christ speaks words of peace and hope to all who are weary.

To be known by the Good Shepherd is to be seen, loved, and understood at our deepest core. Jesus doesn’t just know facts about us—He knows our wounds, our fears, and still loves us. The Cross and Resurrection are proof that nothing can separate us from His love. In our darkest valleys, He walks beside us, never abandoning us.

And so, we are called to follow. Like sheep who trust their shepherd, we walk behind Christ, imitating His mercy and compassion. To follow the Risen Shepherd is to carry others, reach out to the lost, and serve with joy. The Resurrection isn’t only a promise of future glory—it is an invitation to rise now and live like Him.

This Good Shepherd Sunday, may we recognize His voice, rest in His loving gaze, and respond with generous hearts. The Shepherd is alive. He knows you. He calls you. Will you follow?
