Saturday of Week 14 Year 2

Posted on Wednesday, May 2, 2018 by gubahan Posted in 14th, Saturday, Weekday, Year 2 Leave a comment

I sometimes wonder whether we are living in an era where people are becoming more and more complacent or taking things for granted when it comes to sin. For example, when it comes to Lent and Advent, the number of faithful who come for the Sacrament of Reconciliation seems to depend on when and where

In the Old Testament, God raised prophets every once in a while to remind people of who they are, and how they should live and behave. When a prophet prophesises, the prophet says: “It is the Lord who speaks”, to emphasise that the prophecy is not the prophet’s own words or invention, but it is

The Temple that king Solomon built was a huge and magnificent building. Huge blocks of finest stone were used to build it, and it was decorated with gold and silver ornaments. It was the pride and glory of Israel and a belief that God dwelt in their midst in that Temple. Because the temple appeared

When we look at time, we know that time is divided into hours, minutes and seconds. Each second passes by one moment at a time, not too fast, not too slow, just right. Eventually, the seconds reach a point where it completes a circle, making it 60 seconds, which then becomes a minute. Likewise, each

What is the difference between interest and commitment? When we speak about interest, we are speaking about the interest to do something only when circumstances permit; or if it is convenient to do so; or if there is some sort of incentive or benefit to it. But how many of us are willing to take

It is easy for some of us to be attracted to certain so-called church teaching which appeal to our needs, wants and desires. For example, some may have become quite influenced with certain so-called church teachings, where financial blessing and physical well-being are always the will of God for them, and that faith, positive speech,

Some people think that when it comes to salvation, all they need to do is to call upon the Name of Jesus and they are saved. They are also given the impression that salvation requires a personal relationship between themselves and God. It seems as if all they need to do is to take care

我们教友之中很有可能受到耻笑,一种不同形式的迫害或是侮辱。其中最令我们痛心的莫过于受到别人的出, 尤其是好友或家庭成员。你以为他们可以依靠或是信得过,可是他们扁扁反过来狠狠地咬你一口。更可恶的是他们的举止并不是反叛你那么简单,而是为了金钱地位和财产的关系,才出此下策。这种人为了得到物质上:有如金钱,财产 和名誉地位的暂时拥有欲,他们千方百计地出卖你。 正因为这种关系,耶稣在今天的福音中提到:“ 但是出卖人子的那人却是有祸的!那人若没有生,为他更好。”但一个人为了金钱,名誉,地位或财富,选择出卖另一个人时, 他已经把别人的生命看成一文不值. 天主把我们当着宝贝看待,可是那些出卖者却当我们是废物,时间到了就任由他们处置或抛弃。我们是否那么容易被金钱或利益所影响,而轻易出卖他人,最终毁掉自己的大好前途?难道这些人不觉得自己和其他人的生命,比起世俗间的金钱,财富,名誉和地位更为珍贵吗?而且这些物质的享受不过是过眼烟云而已!

你们知道自己生活中的方向吗?你们的目标清楚吗?有些时候,这花花世界里的事物会误导或引诱我们偏离最终的方向。因此,有些人觉得人生不过是求生存,把孩子们抚养成人,在社会中留下一些纪念。总有一天,孩子们长大出外工作时,我们已经年老力衰,白发苍苍,体弱多病,再也无法工作而只能靠养老金或是私下储蓄来过活时,我们怎么办?何去何从? 这一切事情都会历历清楚在我们脑海里浮动。也可能好像依撒依亚先知说的,“我白白勤劳了,我枉费了气力而毫无益处。”但是,不久后他又反省地说,“但是我的权利是在上主哪里,我的报酬在我的天主面前。我在上主眼中是光荣的,天主是我的力量。”我们可能从别的方向寻找平安,喜乐和幸福,然而由始至终天主就是最好的方向。 到头来我们还是要问问自己:我们是否在生活中兜兜转转,更有时候失去方向,好像有些人应用GPS(Guna Pun Sesat:应用也迷失); 或者是已经在生活中调整自己的节奏,用偏向天乡的GPS(主是我们最丰富的资源/ 救世主。)

在世人眼光里的仆人和天主的仆人,所付出的服务都有很大的分别。普通来说, 一个人所付出的的服务都有个别的利益关系。比如说一个职员为了要讨好老板或是上司或是有关人物,不惜付出任何代价的服务。一旦该职员得偿所愿,他(她)们将会寻找另外途径,把握大权,升官发财为了得到别人的认可。类似的人将把职场的地位看成战场或是把整个世界看成是“狗吃狗” 地方。而且这种人会不惜付出任何代价或牺牲为了达到目的。他们会使出各种阴招把一切阻碍或是敌对,一一击败,弄垮,而囊括各种利益或财富,中饱私囊。 今天的读经一里,描写一个恰恰相反的上主的仆人。他所做的一切并不是为了自己的利益而是为了光荣上主,就如读经理提到:“看哪,我的仆人,我所扶持,所拣选,心里所喜悦的,我已在他的身上倾注我的神,叫他必将公理传给外邦。 他不喧嚷,不扬声,在街上也听不到他的声音。破伤的芦苇,他不折断。将熄的灯火,他不吹灭。他凭真实将公理传开。 他不灰心,也不丧胆…..” 这段经文所描述的仆人是上主所拣选和约定的仆人,和我们世俗仆人的作为有天渊之别。“我上主,因仁义召叫了你,我必提携你,保护你,立你作人民的盟约,万民的光明,为开启盲人的眼目,从狱中领出被囚禁的人,从牢里领出住在黑暗的人….” 正当世界蒙蔽我们的眼睛,好使一些人能够得利时,上主的仆人便来开启盲人的眼睛;当世界囚禁我们时,祂便来释放;当世界把我们蒙蔽在黑暗中时,祂带给我们光明。总而言之,天主的仆人所做的一切,目的在于光荣祂的圣名。 现在问题是我们如何去选择自己处世的方针:我们是否对世界观越来越沉迷?或者是越来越接近作为天主仆人应有的态度?总而言之,希望大家在寻找生活时,不要对世界观的引诱所沉迷而断送永生的道路!
