Monday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读依撒意亚先知书 1:10-17
索多玛的统治者,请听上主的话!哈摩辣的百姓,请听天主的训示:“你们为什么向我奉献那么多的牺牲?上主说:我已饱餍了公羊的燔祭和肥犊的脂膏;牛犊、羔羊和山羊的血,我已不喜欢;你们来见我的面时,谁向你们要求了这些东西?这简直是蹂躏我的殿院。不要再奉献无谓的祭品!馨香已为我所憎恶;月朔、安息日、集会、斋戒和盛大的宴会,我已都不能忍受;我的心痛恨你们的月朔和你们的庆节,它们为我是种累赘,使我忍无可忍。你们伸出手时,我必掩目不看;你们行大祈祷时,我决不俯听,因为你们的手染满了血!你们应该洗涤,应该自洁,从我眼前革除你们的恶行,停止作孽,学习行善,寻求正义,责斥压迫人的人,为孤儿伸冤,为寡妇辩护。”
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Isaiah 1:10-17
Hear the word of the LORD,
princes of Sodom!
Listen to the instruction of our God,
people of Gomorrah!
What care I for the number of your sacrifices?
says the LORD.
I have had enough of whole-burnt rams
and fat of fatlings;
In the blood of calves, lambs and goats
I find no pleasure.
When you come in to visit me,
who asks these things of you?
Trample my courts no more!
Bring no more worthless offerings;
your incense is loathsome to me.
New moon and sabbath, calling of assemblies,
octaves with wickedness: these I cannot bear.
Your new moons and festivals I detest;
they weigh me down, I tire of the load.
When you spread out your hands,
I close my eyes to you;
Though you pray the more,
I will not listen.
Your hands are full of blood!
Wash yourselves clean!
Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes;
cease doing evil; learn to do good.
Make justice your aim: redress the wronged,
hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 10:34-11:1
那时候,耶稣对他的门徒说:“你们不要以为我来,是为把平安带到地上;我来不是为带平安,而是带刀剑,因为我来,是为叫人脱离自己的父亲,女儿脱离自己的母亲,儿媳脱离自己的婆母;所以,人的仇敌,就是自己的家人。谁爱父亲或母亲超过我,不配是我的;谁爱儿子或女儿超过我,不配是我的。谁不背起自己的十字架跟随我,不配是我的。谁获得自己的性命,必要丧失性命;谁为我的缘故,丧失了自己的性命,必要获得性命。谁接纳你们,就是接纳我;谁接纳我,就是接纳那派遣我来的。谁接纳一位先知,因他是先知,将领受先知的赏报;谁接纳一位义人,因他是义人,将领受义人的赏报。谁若只给这些小子中的一个,一杯凉水喝,因他是门徒,我实在告诉你们:他决失不了他的赏报。”
耶稣嘱咐完了他的十二门徒,就从那里去了,为在他们的城里施教宣讲。
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 10:34-11:1
Jesus said to his Apostles:
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth.
I have come to bring not peace but the sword.
For I have come to set
a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
and one’s enemies will be those of his household.
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me,
and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
and whoever does not take up his cross
and follow after me is not worthy of me.
Whoever finds his life will lose it,
and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
“Whoever receives you receives me,
and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.
Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet
will receive a prophet’s reward,
and whoever receives a righteous man
because he is righteous
will receive a righteous man’s reward.
And whoever gives only a cup of cold water
to one of these little ones to drink
because he is a disciple–
amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”
When Jesus finished giving these commands to his Twelve disciples,
he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.
