Mark 7:24-30
A Mother’s Faith

In today’s Gospel, we witness the incredible power of faith, love, and persistence. It begins with Jesus, who longs for rest. Just as we often need some time for ourselves, so did Jesus. Yet, Jesus could not remain unseen. He gives up His time to rest in order to heal, comfort, and relieve. This self-giving generosity is a model for our Christian life, reminding us to set aside our own needs to be present for others. God calls us to bring healing and love—to offer a kind word, a compassionate look, a listening ear, or a gentle embrace that can soothe deep wounds and bring hope.

We then encounter the powerful faith of a mother. This woman, though not a follower of Jesus, falls at His feet in humility and love for her child. How many parents sacrifice their time, energy, and pride to ensure the well-being of their sons and daughters? Whether working extra hours, enduring long nights in hospitals, or simply offering steady support, their love mirrors the love of God—unconditional and selfless.

The mother’s faith shows us the importance of perseverance in prayer. She pleads with Jesus, not giving up despite initial resistance. Her persistence is an act of trust, knowing that God can do what she cannot. This is a call to all of us: never stop praying. Trust that God hears us and works in His time to make all things new.

May God grant us the faith of this mother and the generosity of Jesus. Help us to persist in prayer and give us a generous heart to bring healing and love to others. Through the intercession of Mary our Mother, may we grow in faith and selfless love.

發自內在的改變

信仰之旅常藉由轉變開始 —— 不是發自外部，而是發自內部。真正的改變並非修補我們周圍的世界，而是容許天主在我們內心深處工作。

我們時常關注外部 —— 我們四周的人，我們周遭的環境，我們四周的狀況。生活不如我們意的時候，我們很容易責怪他人，把他們當作我們沮喪和消極因素的替罪羊。這樣的做法極其危險，並不公平。這使我們忽視了自己改變的需求，極有可能傷害我們周圍的人。花費一些時間進行反思：我是否把我內在的困苦發洩給別人嗎？要留意這樣的偏情，更要祈求天主施恩，解決我們內心的困苦。

真正的變革，是內在的變革。就是耶穌渴望的住所，祂並不是要譴責我們，而是要以祂的愛和真理啟迪我們。我們經常用自己的弱點來評斷他人，看不見他人的良善，而不是花費時間，更深入的瞭解別人，而是依賴膚淺的印象。使天主充滿我們的內心，何其重要！祂的愛使我們滿懷憐憫之情，客觀，毅力生活。我們發現天主與我們同在的時候，就讓我們發自內心地把我們的空虛和負擔同祂分享。要記得：不論發生什麼，天主決不會拋棄你 —— 祂無限的愛你。

最後，生活中，有些事情不會改變。這些就是我們必須肩負，並要學會忍受的十字架。讓我們祈禱，好使我們有耐心應對這些挑戰，在這些挑戰中成長。

讓我們祈求榮福聖母幫助我們由內改變。教導我們堅忍，引導我們藉由恩典，迎接生活中的挑戰。

信仰之旅常藉由转变开始 —— 不是发自外部，而是发自内部。真正的改变并非修补我们周围的世界，而是容许天主在我们内心深处工作。

我们时常关注外部 —— 我们四周的人，我们周遭的环境，我们四周的状况。生活不如我们意的时候，我们很容易责怪他人，把他们当作我们沮丧和消极因素的替罪羊。这样的做法极其危险，并不公平。这使我们忽视了自己改变的需求，极有可能伤害我们周围的人。花费一些时间进行反思：我是否把我内在的困苦发泄给别人吗？要留意这样的偏情，更要祈求天主施恩，解决我们内心的困苦。

真正的变革，是内在的变革。就是耶稣渴望的住所，祂并不是要谴责我们，而是要以祂的爱和真理启迪我们。我们经常用自己的弱点来评断他人，看不见他人的良善，而不是花费时间，更深入的了解别人，而是依赖肤浅的印象。使天主充满我们的内心，何其重要！祂的爱使我们满怀怜悯之情，客观，毅力生活。我们发现天主与我们同在的时候，就让我们发自内心地把我们的空虚和负担同祂分享。要记得：不论发生什么，天主决不会抛弃你 —— 祂无限的爱你。

最后，生活中，有些事情不会改变。这些就是我们必须肩负，并要学会忍受的十字架。让我们祈祷，好使我们有耐心应对这些挑战，在这些挑战中成长。

让我们祈求荣福圣母帮助我们由内改变。教导我们坚忍，引导我们藉由恩典，迎接生活中的挑战。

Wednesday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time
Mark 7: 14-23
Change from Within

The journey of faith always begins with a transformation—not from the outside, but from within. True change is not about fixing the world around us but allowing God to work in the depths of our hearts.

We often focus on the exterior—the people, circumstances, and situations that surround us. When life doesn’t go our way, we’re tempted to blame others, using them as scapegoats for our frustrations and negativity. This approach is dangerous and unjust. It blinds us to our own need for change and risks harming those around us. Take a moment to reflect: Am I venting my internal struggles onto others? Be mindful of this tendency and ask for God’s grace to confront what’s within.

The true work of transformation happens in the interior. This is where Jesus longs to dwell, not to condemn us but to illuminate us with His love and truth. Often, we judge others through the lens of our own weaknesses, failing to see their goodness. Instead of taking the time to know others deeply, we rely on shallow impressions. How crucial it is to fill our hearts with God! His love empowers us to live with compassion, objectivity, and strength. When we discover God within us, we can share Him with hearts that are empty or burdened. Remember, no matter what, God never abandons you—He loves you infinitely.

Finally, there are things in life that will not change. These are the crosses we must bear and learn to endure. Let us pray for the patience to handle these challenges and grow through them.
Let us ask our Blessed Mother to help us to change from within. Teach us patience and guide us to endure life’s challenges with grace.

露德聖母（紀念）
福音：谷7:1-13
與天主相聯的生命

今天，我們慶祝我們的主母在露德向聖伯爾納德顯現的紀念日，這使我們想起了與天主相聯的美麗生命。聖伯爾納德以謙恭和愛教導我們怎樣回應天主的聖召。

我們屬於公教信仰，就要回應天主的邀請，更接近祂。這不只是一種宗教實踐，同時也是一種生活方式 —— 一次歸向天主的旅途。我們與耶穌相遇，耶穌使一切都發生了改變。這使我們有能力改變我們周圍人的生活。我們活出我們的信仰，這使我們持續不斷，與天主相聯，天主是一切愛和希望的源泉。

在這種與天主的關係，規則和規範有了其真正的意涵。正如戀人通過姿勢表達愛意一樣，我們也通過祈禱，聖事和玫瑰經敬禮表達我們對天主的愛。這一切不是我們的負擔，而是能鞏固我們與祂關係的愛德工夫。想想婚姻：沒有小小的愛的舉動，彼此的關係就會變得疏遠。這同樣也適於我們與天主的關係。

然而，我們必須小心，不要使宗教行為成為必須完成的義務。當結構轉變成結構主義時，這只能使我們窒息，而非使我們昇華。宗教意在引導我們走向天主，而不是給我們帶來負擔。信仰的核心系於與天主進行坦誠的交談，與祂分享我們的快樂，掙扎和偏情。當這個結構引導我們向善，那便是好的，但是，這個結構絕不能遮掩我們作為天主所愛兒女享有的自由。

讓我們效法露德聖母，把他人帶向天主，不是以僵化的行動，而是以愛，溫柔和自由的方法。榮福聖母，請讓我們更親近妳的兒子。教導我們通過祈禱，敬禮和紮根於信德生活孝愛祂。亞孟。

Our Lady of Lourdes
Mark 7:1-13
A Life Bound to God

Today, as we celebrate the memorial of the Apparitions of Our Lady to St. Bernadette in Lourdes, we are reminded of the beauty of a life bound to God. In her simplicity and faith, St. Bernadette teaches us how to respond to God’s call with humility and love.

Belonging to the Catholic faith is our response to God’s invitation to draw closer to Him. It is not merely a set of practices, but a way of life—a journey back to God. Encountering Jesus changes everything. It transforms us and has the power to touch the lives of those around us. To live our faith is to be continually bound to God, who is the source of all love and hope.

In this relationship with God, rules and norms take on their true meaning. Just as lovers express their love through gestures, so too do we show our love for God through prayer, the sacraments, and devotions like the Rosary. These are not burdens but acts of love that strengthen our bond with Him. Think of marriage: without small acts of love, the relationship can grow distant. The same applies to our relationship with God.

However, we must be cautious not to let religious practices become mere obligations. When structure turns into structuralism, it can suffocate rather than uplift. Religion is meant to lead us to God, not to burden us. The heart of faith lies in speaking openly to God, sharing our joys, struggles, and desires with Him. Structure is good when it guides us, but it must never overshadow the freedom we enjoy as God’s beloved children.

Let us learn from Our Lady of Lourdes to bring others to God, not through rigidity, but through love, tenderness, and freedom. Blessed Mother, draw us closer to your Son. Teach us to love Him through prayer, acts of devotion, and a life rooted in faith. Amen.

聖斯高拉諦加（貞女）紀念
福音：谷6:53-56
觸摸，得到醫治

在這神聖的禧年，我們作為希望的朝聖者，被提醒要以勇氣，愛和憐憫追隨耶穌。

耶穌不會靜止不動；祂渡到另一邊，常走向那些急難者。我們作為基督徒，我們也蒙召做相同的事。我們總不能停留在舒適或安全的地方；我們必須出去，來到世界，與他人接觸。如同門徒一樣，我們毫不遲疑地被派遣，沒有任何藉口。即使人在我們面前砰地關上門，我們也必須堅持下去，因為有很多靈魂渴望希望和天主的愛。我們的信仰催迫我們滿懷熱情前行，把基督的光帶給我們的兄弟姐妹。

那個婦人耶穌外衣的故事提醒我們愛和親近的力量。她的觸摸源自她內心的渴望，她渴望得到醫治。只有我們真正認識到天主愛我們的時候，那時候，我們才真正被治癒。耶穌藉著溫柔，親密和憐憫之情醫治我們。我們作為祂的追隨者，也必須向那些受苦的人表示溫柔和關懷，給他們一句好話，一隻願意聆聽的耳朵，一個溫柔的姿態，給他們帶去基督溫暖的愛。

最後，我們必須從耶穌那裡尋求我們自己的醫治，這樣，我們才能給他人帶去醫治。有許多人，他們的心中有著深深的創傷（孤獨，怨恨，絕望）。真正的貧窮不只是物質上的，而是缺乏希望和愛。讓我們跟隨耶穌，成為祂慈悲的工具，藉著分享祂的愛拯救生命。

榮福聖母，請指引我們以勇氣和愛追隨妳的聖子。請教導我們跨越界限，給那些有需要的人帶去醫治和希望。亞孟。

Memorial of Saint Scholastica, Virgin
Mark 6: 53-56
Touch and be healed

As Pilgrims of Hope in this sacred Year of Jubilee, we are reminded of our mission to follow Jesus with courage, love, and compassion.

Jesus does not remain still; He crosses to the other side, always moving toward those in need. As Christians, we are called to do the same. We cannot stay where it is comfortable or safe; we must go out into the world and reach out to others. Like the disciples, we are sent without delay, without excuses. Even if doors are slammed in our faces, we must persevere, for many souls long for the hope and love of God. Our faith compels us to go forth with enthusiasm, carrying the light of Christ to our brothers and sisters.

The story of the woman who touched Jesus’ cloak reminds us of the power of love and proximity. Her touch came from deep need, a longing to be healed. But true healing happens when we recognise that we are loved by God. Jesus heals with tenderness, closeness, and compassion. As His followers, we too must show tenderness and care to those who suffer, offering a kind word, a listening ear, or a gentle gesture that brings the warmth of Christ’s love.

Finally, we must seek healing from Jesus ourselves so that we can bring healing to others. There are many who carry deep wounds in their hearts—loneliness, resentment, despair. True poverty is not only material; it is the absence of hope and love. Let us follow Jesus, become instruments of His compassion, and help save lives by sharing His love.

Blessed Mother, guide us to follow your Son with courage and love. Teach us to cross boundaries, offer healing, and bring hope to those in need. Amen.
