Tuesday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读欧瑟亚先知书 8:4-7, 11-13
上主这样说：以色列自立了君王，却没有我的同意；他们自立了首领，却没有叫我知道；他们用金银为自己制造了偶像，给自己招来灭亡。撒玛黎雅！我必要除掉你的牛犊，我的怒火必要对它燃起；以色列子民不能自新要到几时呢？牛犊是工匠制造的，它并不是天主；撒玛黎雅的牛犊必定被粉碎！他们既播种了风，收的也必是风；麦子不抽穗，做不成面粉；即使做出面粉来，也必被外邦入吃掉。厄弗辣因建筑了许多祭坛，但这些祭坛为他们却只有犯罪的用途。虽然我为他们写了许多法律，却被看作陌生人的废话。让他们奉献燔祭，让他们取吃祭肉：这一切上主都不喜欢；今后他必记住他们的邪恶，必惩罚他们的罪孽；他们必要回到埃及去。
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Hosea 8:4-7, 11-13
Thus says the LORD:
They made kings in Israel, but not by my authority;
they established princes, but without my approval.
With their silver and gold they made
idols for themselves, to their own destruction.
Cast away your calf, O Samaria!
my wrath is kindled against them;
How long will they be unable to attain
innocence in Israel?
The work of an artisan,
no god at all,
Destined for the flames—
such is the calf of Samaria!
When they sow the wind,
they shall reap the whirlwind;
The stalk of grain that forms no ear
can yield no flour;
Even if it could,
strangers would swallow it.
When Ephraim made many altars to expiate sin,
his altars became occasions of sin.
Though I write for him my many ordinances,
they are considered as a stranger’s.
Though they offer sacrifice,
immolate flesh and eat it,
the LORD is not pleased with them.
He shall still remember their guilt
and punish their sins;
they shall return to Egypt.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 9:32-38
那时候，有人给耶稣送来一个附魔的哑巴。魔鬼一被赶出去，哑巴就说出话来。群众惊奇说：“在以色列从未出现过这样的事情。”但法利塞人却说：“他是仗赖魔王驱魔。”
耶稣周游各城各村，在他们的会堂内施教，宣讲天国的福音，治好一切疾病，一切灾殃。他一见到群众，就对他们动了慈心，因为他们困苦流离，像没有牧人的羊，于是对自己的门徒说：“庄稼固多，工人却少，所以你们应当求庄稼的主人派遣工人，来收他的庄稼。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 9:32-38
A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus,
and when the demon was driven out the mute man spoke.
The crowds were amazed and said,
“Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
But the Pharisees said,
“He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”
Jesus went around to all the towns and villages,
teaching in their synagogues,
proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom,
and curing every disease and illness.
At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them
because they were troubled and abandoned,
like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples,
“The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
so ask the master of the harvest
to send out laborers for his harvest.”
