常年期第三十二周 星期六

 

 

First Reading:  3 Jn 5-8

读经一（我们应当款待传教的弟兄，为叫我们成为与真理合作的人。）

恭读圣若望三书 5-8

 

Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers and sisters, especially for strangers; they have testified to your love before the Church.

亲爱的弟兄加约：凡你对弟兄，尤其对旅客所行的，都是真信徒的行为。他们在教会前证明了你的爱德。

 

Please help them in a way worthy of God to continue their journey.

你若以天主所喜欢的态度，帮助他们走上旅途，就是做了善事，

 

For they have set out for the sake of the Name and are accepting nothing from the pagans.

因为他们出发是为主的名字，并没有从外教人接受什么；

 

Therefore, we ought to support such persons, so that we may be co-workers in the truth.

所以我们应当款待这样的人，为叫我们成为与真理合作的人。

Gospel  Lk 18:1-8

福音（天主召选的人日夜呼求他，他岂能不为他们伸冤。）

恭读圣路加福音 18:1-8

 

Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, "There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being.

那时候，耶稣给门徒设了一个比喻，论及人应当时常祈祷，不要灰心。他说：“某城中曾有一个判官不敬畏天主，也不敬重人。

 

And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, 'Render a just decision for me against my adversary.'

在那城中另有一个寡妇，常去见他说：请你制裁我的对头，为我伸冤吧！

 

For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, 'While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.'"

判官多次不肯；以后想道：我虽不敬畏天主，也不敬重人，只是因为这个寡妇常来烦扰我，我要为她伸冤，免得她不断的来纠缠我。

 

The Lord said, "Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them?

于是主说：你们听听这个不义的判官说了什么！天主听到他所召选的人日夜呼吁，能不为他们伸冤吗？他会延迟俯听他们吗？

 

I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

我告诉你们：他必要快快为他们伸冤，但是，人子来临时，能在世上找到这样的信德吗？”
