常年期第十六周星期二
Tuesday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读米该亚先知书 7:14-15, 18-20
上主，求你拿你的牧杖牧放你的人民——作你基业的羊群，他们独留在草莽中，在田园间；让他们在巴商和基肋阿得获得牧养，一如昔日。上主，让我们一如在你出离埃及的时日内，见到奇迹。
那里有神相似你，赦免罪恶，宽宥他的基业——遗民的过错？上主不会永远愤怒，反而喜爱仁慈。你必再怜悯我们，将我们的邪恶踏于足下，将我们的一切罪过投入海底。你必按照你昔日向我们祖先所发的誓，对雅各布伯表示忠信，对亚巴郎施行仁慈。
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Micah 7:14-15, 18-20
Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock of your inheritance,
That dwells apart in a woodland,
in the midst of Carmel.
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead,
as in the days of old;
As in the days when you came from the land of Egypt,
show us wonderful signs.
Who is there like you, the God who removes guilt
and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance;
Who does not persist in anger forever,
but delights rather in clemency,
And will again have compassion on us,
treading underfoot our guilt?
You will cast into the depths of the sea
all our sins;
You will show faithfulness to Jacob,
and grace to Abraham,
As you have sworn to our fathers
from days of old.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 12:46-50
耶稣还同群众说话的时候，看，他的母亲和他的兄弟站在外边，想要同他说话。有人告诉他说：“看！你的母亲同你的兄弟站在外边，想要同你说话。”他却回答那告诉他的人说：“谁是我的母亲？谁是我的兄弟？”遂伸出他的手，指着自己的门徒说：“看！我的母亲，我的兄弟！不拘谁遵行我在天之父的意旨，他就是我的兄弟、姊妹和母亲。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 12:46-50
While Jesus was speaking to the crowds,
his mother and his brothers appeared outside,
wishing to speak with him.
Someone told him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside,
asking to speak with you.”
But he said in reply to the one who told him,
“Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”
And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said,
“Here are my mother and my brothers.
For whoever does the will of my heavenly Father
is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
