First reading Acts 22:30,23:6-11

‘You have borne witness in Jerusalem: now you must do the same in Rome’

Since the tribune wanted to know what precise charge the Jews were bringing, he freed Paul and gave orders for a meeting of the chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin; then he brought Paul down and stood him in front of them. Now Paul was well aware that one section was made up of Sadducees and the other of Pharisees, so he called out in the Sanhedrin, ‘Brothers, I am a Pharisee and the son of Pharisees. It is for our hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.’ As soon as he said this a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was split between the two parties. For the Sadducees say there is neither resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, while the Pharisees accept all three. The shouting grew louder, and some of the scribes from the Pharisees’ party stood up and protested strongly, ‘We find nothing wrong with this man. Suppose a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?’ Feeling was running high, and the tribune, afraid that they would tear Paul to pieces, ordered his troops to go down and haul him out and bring him into the fortress.
  Next night, the Lord appeared to him and said, ‘Courage! You have borne witness for me in Jerusalem, now you must do the same in Rome.’
 

Responsorial Psalm 15(16):1-2,5,7-11

Preserve me, Lord, I take refuge in you.
or
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
 
Preserve me, God, I take refuge in you.
  I say to the Lord: ‘You are my God.
O Lord, it is you who are my portion and cup;
  it is you yourself who are my prize.’
 
Preserve me, Lord, I take refuge in you.
or
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
 
I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,
  who even at night directs my heart.
I keep the Lord ever in my sight:
  since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm.
 
Preserve me, Lord, I take refuge in you.
or
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
 
And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;
  even my body shall rest in safety.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead,
  nor let your beloved know decay.
 
Preserve me, Lord, I take refuge in you.
or
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
 
You will show me the path of life,
  the fullness of joy in your presence,
  at your right hand happiness for ever.
 
Preserve me, Lord, I take refuge in you.
or
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
 

Gospel John 17:20-26

Father, may they be completely one

Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said:
 
‘Holy Father,
I pray not only for these,
but for those also
who through their words will believe in me.
May they all be one.
Father, may they be one in us,
as you are in me and I am in you,
so that the world may believe it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so completely one
that the world will realise that it was you who sent me
and that I have loved them as much as you loved me.
Father, I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see the glory you have given me
because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
Father, Righteous One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.’

20th May 2021 Thursday 7th week of Easter – St. Bernardine of Siena.

Reflection
Acts 22:30, 23:6-11, John 17:20-26

“The fruit of God’s love in us is unity”
We look at the divisions in the world, in the church, in our family, in our workplace: people not speaking to each other, competing to be the best, treating others with discrimination, gossiping to destroy the reputation of others, etc. Today, Jesus looks at the divisions around us and prays for oneness and communion: “May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you…”.

The communion that Jesus prays for comes from us having first a loving relationship with God Himself. This is because it is the love of God in us that will bring us to be in communion with others, especially those who are different from us. We need to take note that unity does not mean that we have to get along all the time and that we need to agree all the time. Rather, God’s love unites us to be one human family, one Christian community whether we like one another or not, whether we agree with one another or not. It is through our unity that will reveal God’s love to the world.

Question for reflection:
How can I grow in my communion with God so as to be one with others?
????????

20 hb Mei 2021 Hari Khamis Minggu Paska Ke-7 – St.Bernardine dari Siena.

Renungan
Kisah Para Rasul 22:30, 23:6-11, Yohanes 17:20-26

“Buah kasih Tuhan di dalam kita adalah kesatuan”
Kita melihat banyak perpecahan berlaku di dunia masa kini, di dalam gereja, dalam keluarga, di tempat kerja: tidak ada komunikasi satu sama lain, berlumba-lumba untuk menjadi yang terbaik, diskriminasi, gosip yang menjatuhkan reputasi orang lain dan sebagainya. Hari ini Yesus melihat perpecahan yang berlaku di sekeliling kita dan berdoa untuk kesatuan dan persekutuan: “Semoga mereka menjadi satu sama seperti Bapa, di dalam Aku dan Aku di dalam Engkau..”.

Kesatuan yang didoakan Yesus adalah agar kita pertama-tama memiliki relasi cintakasih bersama dengan Tuhan sendiri. Ini kerana cintakasih Tuhan yang ada dalam diri kita akan membawa kita untuk dapat bersatu dengan orang lain terutama mereka yang berbeza dengan kita. Kita perlu menyedari bahawa kesatuan bukan bermakna kita harus sentiasa bersetuju dengan orang lain. Sebaliknya, cintakasih Tuhan menyatukan kita untuk menjadi satu keluarga di dunia ini, satu komuniti Kristian sama ada kita menyukai mereka atau tidak, sama ada kita bersetuju dengan mereka atau tidak. Kerana melalui kesatuan inilah yang akan menunjukkan kasih Tuhan kepada dunia.

Soalan renungan:
Bagaimana saya dapat bertumbuh dalam kesatuan saya dengan Tuhan serta orang lain?

20-05-2021 Hari Empat Minggu Paska Ka-7 – St. Bernardine ari Siena

Renungan
Kereja Rasul 22:30,23:6-11; John 17:20-26

“Penyerakup nya meh Buah Pengerindu Allah Taala dalam kitai.”
Kitai berati ka dunya ti agi kacau, dalam Gerija, dalam bilik kitai, dalam palan pengawa:mensia enggai bejako enggau pangan diri, bepekit nyadi numbor satu,betenah sereta besengki jako. Saritu, Jesus merati ka pemechah ti nyadi ba kitai lalu besampi awak semua nyadi siti sereta beserakup:”ngambika sida nyadi siku, baka Tua ke endang siku, Aku dalam sida, lalu Nuan dalam Aku…”

Penyerakup ti disebut Jesus nya datai ari kitai awak bisi kaul pengerindu enggau Allah Taala Apai. Laban pengerindu Allah Taala ti diau dalam kitai deka mai kitai beserakup enggau orang bukai, kelebih agi sida ti enda sebansa enggau kitai. Kitai patut ngingatka diri penyerakup ukai reti nya kitai ulih nerima tauka setuju belama. Tang, lebih agi ari nya, Pengerindu Allah Taala ngempuru kitai awak nyadi siti bilik raban mensia, orang Kristian taja kitai mayuh beza penemu, pengelandik enggau penau. Nengah penyerakup tu, pengerindu Allah Taala mancar atas dunya.

Kati aku ulih mansang dalam kaul ti dalam enggau Allah Taala awak ulih nyadi siti enggau orang bukai?

2021年5月20日 复活期第七周星期四圣伯尔纳定

省思
《宗廿二:30,廿三:6-11》
《若十七:20-26》

“天主的爱在我们之间结成了合一的果实”
我们看看这世上到处都是分裂,在教堂里、在我们的家庭里、在我们的工作场所里,它无所不在:众人没有互相交流、为了成为最好而彼此竞争、以歧视看待其他人、散布谣言进而致使他人的形象受到污蔑等。今天,耶稣看向我们周遭的分裂局面,并且为了合一及通融而做了这样的祷告:“愿他们众人合一,就像是,父呀,您在我内及我在您内……”。

耶稣所祈祷的共融首先是出自于我们拥有与天主建立起的关系。这是因为天父的爱在我们内将带给我们与众人的共融,尤其是与我们甚为差异的人们。我们必须知道的是,共融不代表着我们时常处在一起,以及需要每时每刻都赞同。天主的爱聚集我们成为一个大家庭,一个不管我们喜欢与否,或者我们认同彼此与否的基督群体。通过我们的合一,我们将能够向世界昭示天主的爱。

省思题:
我怎样在与天主的共融成长至与众人的合一呢?
????????
