常年期第十四周星期四
Thursday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读欧瑟亚先知书 11:1-4, 8-9
上主这样说：当以色列尚在童年时，我就爱了他；从在埃及时，我就召叫他为我的儿子。可是我越呼唤他们，他们越远离我，去给巴耳献祭，向偶像进香。是我教了厄弗辣因迈步，双臂抱着他们，但他们却不理会是我照顾了他们。是我用仁慈的绳索，爱情的带子牵着他们，我对他们有如高举婴儿到自己面颊的慈亲，俯身喂养他们。我的心已转变，我的五内已感动；我不再按我盛怒行事，不再毁灭厄弗辣因，因为我是天主而不是人，是在你中间的圣者，而不是伏于城门的仇敌。
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Hosea 11:1-4, 8E-9
Thus says the LORD:
When Israel was a child I loved him,
out of Egypt I called my son.
The more I called them,
the farther they went from me,
Sacrificing to the Baals
and burning incense to idols.
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
who took them in my arms;
I drew them with human cords,
with bands of love;
I fostered them like one
who raises an infant to his cheeks;
Yet, though I stooped to feed my child,
they did not know that I was their healer.
My heart is overwhelmed,
my pity is stirred.
I will not give vent to my blazing anger,
I will not destroy Ephraim again;
For I am God and not man,
the Holy One present among you;
I will not let the flames consume you.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 10:7-15
那时候，耶稣对他的门徒说：“你们在路上应宣讲说：天国临近了。病人，你们要治好；死人，你们要复活；癞病人，你们要洁净；魔鬼，你们要躯逐；你们白白得来的，也要白白分施。你们不要在腰带里备下金、银、铜钱；路上不要带口袋，也不要带两件内衣，也不要穿鞋，也不要带棍杖，因为工人自当有他的食物。你们不论进了那一城或那一村，查问其中谁是当得起的，就住在那里，直到你们离去。你们进那一家时，要向它请安。倘若这一家是堪当的，你们的平安就必降临到这一家；倘若是不堪当的，你们的平安仍归于你们。谁若不接待你们，也不听你们的话，当你们从那一家或那一城出来时，应把尘土由你们的脚上拂去。我实在告诉你们：在审判的日子，索多瑪和哈摩辣地所受的惩罚，比那座城所受的还要轻。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 10:7-15
Jesus said to his Apostles:
“As you go, make this proclamation:
‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
Cure the sick, raise the dead,
cleanse the lepers, drive out demons.
Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.
Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts;
no sack for the journey, or a second tunic,
or sandals, or walking stick.
The laborer deserves his keep.
Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it,
and stay there until you leave.
As you enter a house, wish it peace.
If the house is worthy,
let your peace come upon it;
if not, let your peace return to you.
Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words–
go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet.
Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment
than for that town.”
