读经一
恭读耶肋米亚先知书 14:17-22
我眼泪直流，昼夜不息，因为我贞洁的女儿——人民——大受摧残，受了严重的打击。我若走入田间，看见刀杀的遗尸；我若进入城里，看见饥馑的可怖惨状；就连先知和司祭们也流亡到他们素不相识的地方。 上主，难道你决意抛弃犹大，真心厌恶熙雍？为什么你打击我们，致使我们医治无望？我们原是期待和平，却不见好转；希望医治的时日，却只见恐怖！上主，我们承认我们的罪恶，和我们祖先的过犯；我们实在得罪了你。愿你为了你的名，不要嫌弃，不要轻慢你光荣的御座！望你记忆，不要废除你与我们订立的盟约！异民的「假神」中，有谁能降雨呢？或是诸天能自降甘霖吗？难道不只是你，上主我们的天主！我们寄望于你，因为你行了这一切事。
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Jeremiah 14:17-22
Let my eyes stream with tears
day and night, without rest,
Over the great destruction which overwhelms
the virgin daughter of my people,
over her incurable wound.
If I walk out into the field,
look! those slain by the sword;
If I enter the city,
look! those consumed by hunger.
Even the prophet and the priest
forage in a land they know not.
Have you cast Judah off completely?
Is Zion loathsome to you?
Why have you struck us a blow
that cannot be healed?
We wait for peace, to no avail;
for a time of healing, but terror comes instead.
We recognize, O LORD, our wickedness,
the guilt of our fathers;
that we have sinned against you.
For your name’s sake spurn us not,
disgrace not the throne of your glory;
remember your covenant with us, and break it not.
Among the nations’ idols is there any that gives rain?
Or can the mere heavens send showers?
Is it not you alone, O LORD,
our God, to whom we look?
You alone have done all these things.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 13:36-43
那时，耶稣离开了群众，来到家里，他的门徒就前来对他说：“请把田间莠子的比喻给我们讲解一下！”他就回答说：“那撒好种子的，就是人子；田就是世界；好种子，即是天国的子民；莠子即是邪恶的子民；那撒莠子的仇人，就是魔鬼；收获时期，即是今世的终结；收割者即是天使。就如将莠子收集起来，用火焚烧；在今世终结时也将是如此；人子要差遣他的天使，由他的国内，将一切使人跌倒的事，及作恶的人收集起来，扔到火窑里；在那里要有哀号和切齿。那时，义人要在他们父的国里，发光如同太阳。有耳的，听吧！”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 13:36-43
Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house.
His disciples approached him and said,
“Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
He said in reply, “He who sows good seed is the Son of Man,
the field is the world, the good seed the children of the Kingdom.
The weeds are the children of the Evil One,
and the enemy who sows them is the Devil.
The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire,
so will it be at the end of the age.
The Son of Man will send his angels,
and they will collect out of his Kingdom
all who cause others to sin and all evildoers.
They will throw them into the fiery furnace,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
Then the righteous will shine like the sun
in the Kingdom of their Father.
Whoever has ears ought to hear.”
