格林多前書　4:6-15
聖詠　145[144]:17-18,19-20,21
路加福音　6:1-5
保祿在今天的讀經一，說了一段掏心窩的話。他告訴格林多人，自己和同伴為了福音，被人看作愚妄的、軟弱的、受輕賤的。他們又飢又渴，衣不蔽體，被人咒罵，遭人迫害。保祿說：「直到現在，我們仍被視為世上的垃圾和人間的廢物。」讀到這裏，心裏不免發酸。忠心傳福音的人，竟落到這般地步。可是保祿沒有抱怨，沒有求人給他一個公正的評價。他只求在主面前，能稱為忠心的。他的眼睛不看人的判斷，只看著主的眼睛。
保祿教我們一個解脫的辦法：把別人的評判還給別人，把判斷權交給天主。
答唱詠說：「上主接近一切呼號祂的人。」祂接近的不是完美的人，而是那些被人的話傷到、被生活壓到喘不過氣，但仍然呼求祂的人。
主不看你的外表，不看你的成敗，只看你轉向祂的那顆心。
願我們都放下別人的評判，也放下對自己的苛責，在天主眼裏，找到真正的平安。

22nd Week in Ordinary Time (II)
ST TERESA OF KOLKATA (Mother Teresa),
Religious
1 Cor 4:6-15; Ps 144(145):17-21; Lk 6:1-5 (Ps Wk II)
As foundress of the Missionaries of Charity, St Teresa of
Kolkata devoted all her life to serving the poorest of the
poor. What was it that made her different from secular
philanthropists and social activists? It was her unwavering
belief in the inalienable dignity of every person, regardless
of colour or creed. She saw the face of Christ in every person
she served. This conviction guided her apostolate to the
abandoned, the rejected and the marginalised which is
rooted in Christ’s words that, when we do it to one of the least
of His brethren, we do it to Him.
Whence did her strength and tenacity come from? It
was from living a truly Eucharistic life. She was a tireless
proponent of Eucharistic adoration. She and her Sisters
would always start the day adoring Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament, followed by Mass and Holy communion. These
were non-negotiables. Her philanthropic spirituality was a
rightly-ordered one: time spent in silence and prayer that
nurtured faith. The fruit of faith is love leading to service.
She incarnated this intrinsic unity between love of God and
neighbour that committed her to serving the poor. She did
not strive to be successful but only to be faithful. When she
felt abandoned by God, she accepted this terrible suffering
and offered it up in solidarity with the poor in union with
Christ crucified, remaining ever at His disposal. She was the
visible carrier of God’s love. How much am I willing to give up
to follow Christ?
PRAYER Lord, grant my heart to abide in Yours.

22nd Week in Ordinary Time (II)
1 Cor 4:1-5; Ps 36 (37):3-6, 27-28, 39-40;
Lk 5:33-39 (Ps Wk II)
Jesus defends His practice, and that of His disciples, of not
only eating on days the Pharisees fast, but also eating with
tax collectors and sinners. Jesus compares Himself to a
bridegroom entertaining His wedding guests and asks how
you can require them to fast during a wedding celebration.
Jesus' public life lasted approximately three years, and those
years were a special time for Him to be with us. After His
Ascension into Heaven, His disciples and the rest of us would
miss His physical presence.
More importantly, however, is the fact that Jesus' teaching
and practice were fundamentally different from that of the
Pharisees. It was ‘new wine.’ While the Pharisees were very
strict in following the rules and regulations of the Mosaic Law,
Jesus placed greater emphasis on the attitude and interior
disposition of each individual in following the Law. Was
fasting, for instance, meant to be merely a formal following
of the letter of a law, or to be an authentic expression of a
desire to change one’s heart and behaviour to conform more
closely to the spirit of the Law?
Today when we fast, it may make greater sense to fast
from using one’s phone or computer in order to avoid
addictive behaviour, or share the cost of a meal with someone
in need. The Church invites us to ask ourselves, what form of
self-denial will actually help us to become more free, more
detached, more loving, in other words, more like Christ?
PRAYER Jesus, make me more like You.

格林多前書　4:1-5
聖詠　37[36]:3-4,5-6,27-28,39-40
路加福音　5:33-39
法利塞人和經師問耶穌：為什麼祂的門徒不禁食？耶穌用兩個比喻回答：沒有人從新衣服上撕下一塊補在舊衣服上，也沒有人把新酒裝進舊皮囊。新酒需要新皮囊，新布不能補舊衣。耶穌要賜給人一顆新心，去舊迎新。也許我們習慣了舊的方式：祈禱念經有固定的套路，為人處世有熟悉的模式，看待別人有改不掉的成見。我們像那個舊皮囊，已經定型了，硬了，裝不下天主要給我們的新感動。
保祿在書信裏提醒我們，不要論斷人，連自己也不要過早論斷。因為判斷我們的，不是別人，而是天主。這句話可以幫助我們打破舊習慣：我們太習慣給人貼標籤，給自己定罪，給事情下結論。保祿說：等主來，祂要照出暗中的隱情，顯明人心的意念。就這樣，保祿一直保持開放，保持柔軟。今天聖詠也說：你只管信賴上主，一心行善，你必安居樂業。信賴和行善，就是新皮囊的質地。不焦慮明天，不計算人的惡，懷著愛德做每一件小善事。
主，求祢賜給我們一顆柔軟的心，好裝下祢今天要澆灌的新酒。

22nd Week in Ordinary Time (II)
ST GREGORY THE GREAT, Pope & Doctor
1 Cor 3:18-23; Ps 23 (24):1-6;
Lk 5:1-11 (Ps Wk II)
In Galilee, the fishermen went out to fish at night. They
returned at first light, deprived of sleep and weary. With
their remaining energy, they cleaned their nets that had
caught nothing. As they were busy, Jesus appeared before
them. Everything changed! Jesus got into the boat with
Simon; the one who would be given the keys to the Kingdom
and become the Vicar of Christ. Jesus instructed, “Put out
into deep water.” Though Simon hesitated, he soon obeyed
Jesus. The fisherman knew very well that these were unsafe
deep waters and that it was daylight already. Do we find
ourselves in a “fragile barque” sailing aimlessly through life?
Can we trust Jesus to calm the storms of our life when we
find life risky and messy?
As the Apostles spread the new-found faith in Jesus
Christ through various cities, they were challenged by the
livelihood of the people. Corinth was a wealthy trading city
with two ports. When Paul visited and stayed for a while,
he found the people elevating human leaders. He insisted
that “there is nothing to boast about in anything human.”
Ultimately, they must rely on God by belonging to Christ
Who is the Head. Jesus Christ is the foundation stone for all
human thinking and activity. Do we have Jesus as the centre
of our lives? Will we remain steadfast in our faith and draw
courageous men and women to follow Jesus?
PRAYER Lord Jesus, give us courage in times of despair.

格林多前書　3:1-9
聖詠　33[32]:12-13,14-15,20-21
路加福音　4:36-44
聖史馬爾谷記載耶穌在加里肋亞一開始傳教，便籲人悔改，信從福音，說：「時期已到，天主的國臨近了」（谷1:14）。
耶穌降生成人，是為把天國帶到人間。可以說，天國就是天主的旨意承行於地，天國是天主的正義，義德與平安及在聖神內的喜樂，臨現於人間（羅14:17）。
耶穌治好西滿岳母的熱症，及患各種病症的人，將他們從各種疾病與壓迫中釋放出來。這是天國在人身上，得以實現及臨於人間的標記。耶穌向人顯示了，沒有任何邪惡勢力可以得勝的天國力量。耶穌的使命，是透過祂的行動，讓人認出天國的來臨，並向人宣講天主的國。耶穌的一生都是為天國服務，祂以忘我的精神為天國奔波，祂為天國能夠臨現人間而大聲疾呼。祂渴望天國早日臨現人間，讓人體會並生活在天國中，從而將人從各種壓迫與邪惡勢力中拯救出來。
主耶穌，請幫助我們在每天的生活中，首先讓自己體驗天國的來臨，在自己身上將它活現，為它作證。

22nd Week in Ordinary Time (II)
1 Cor 3:1-9; Ps 32 (33):12-15, 20-21;
Lk 4:38-44 (Ps Wk II)
The spiritual claims that people make can always be
evaluated by observing how they live. Many in Corinth
belonged to different factions, all claiming to have the truth
and to be spiritually advanced. But Paul insisted that the
Spirit draws everyone closer and creates an atmosphere
of harmony, cooperation, tolerance, and love. All these
qualities were lacking in Corinth and Paul concluded that
they were spiritual infants and had to be fed with milk rather
than solid food. All spiritual claims, including our own, must
pass this test.
Jesus worked non-stop in Peter’s house – people were
desperate for healing and Jesus could not bear to turn
anyone away. He rose early and disappeared, and when
the Apostles found Him, they wanted Him to continue His
healing ministry – and there was nothing wrong with that.
But Jesus refused – He had spent the night in prayer and had
become convinced that His true mission was to carry the
message to as many towns as possible. Often, our choices
are not between good and evil, but between good and
better. Where we can do the greater good for the greater
number, with a greater quality of service, should be our
guide, as well as asking what God wants of us. We need to
pray and ask God to show us His Will when we want to serve
Him better.
PRAYER Lord, help me to make the right choices.

格林多前書　2:10-16
聖詠　145[144]:8-9,10-11,12-13,13-14
路加福音　4:31-37
「耶穌下到加里肋亞的葛法翁城，就在安息日教訓人。人都十分驚奇祂的教訓，因為祂的話具有一種權威」（路4:31-32）。安息日是專屬人和天主的甜蜜時光，但也受到魔鬼的擾亂。因為「在會堂裏有一個附著邪魔惡鬼的人」（路4:33）。會堂是虔誠的猶太人聆聽天主話語的地方，但是，出現了附魔的人。
耶穌的宣講，是具有權威的。祂的話不僅使人驚奇，也令魔鬼害怕。耶穌叱責魔鬼說：「『不要作聲！從這人身上出去！』魔鬼把那人摔倒在人中間，便從他身上出去了，絲毫沒有傷害他」（瑪4:35）。因著耶穌驅魔，眾人從驚奇轉變成了驚駭。
耶穌的言行，使我們反省我們的言行。祂外在的言行，展現的，是祂內在的生命。耶穌是一個被聖神充滿，並被聖神推動的人。祂說話有權威，祂驅魔有能力，是因為聖神在祂內。如果沒有內在生命的建設，那麼，一切外在的忙碌都是徒勞。
耶穌，我們感謝祢，使我們看見祢的能力，我們渴望被聖神充滿。阿們。
