First reading Hosea 11:1,3-4,8-9

I will not give rein to my fierce anger, for I am God, not man

Listen to the word of the Lord:

When Israel was a child I loved him,

and I called my son out of Egypt.

I myself taught Ephraim to walk,

I took them in my arms;

yet they have not understood that I was the one looking after them.

I led them with reins of kindness,

with leading-strings of love.

I was like someone who lifts an infant close against his cheek;

stooping down to him I gave him his food.

Ephraim, how could I part with you?

Israel, how could I give you up?

How could I treat you like Admah,

or deal with you like Zeboiim?

My heart recoils from it,

my whole being trembles at the thought.

I will not give rein to my fierce anger,

I will not destroy Ephraim again,

for I am God, not man:

I am the Holy One in your midst

and have no wish to destroy.

Responsorial Psalm Isaiah 12

The rejoicing of a redeemed people

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Truly, God is my salvation,

I trust, I shall not fear.

For the Lord is my strength, my song,

he became my saviour.

With joy you will draw water

from the wells of salvation.

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Give thanks to the Lord, give praise to his name!

Make his mighty deeds known to the peoples!

Declare the greatness of his name.

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Sing a psalm to the Lord

for he has done glorious deeds;

make them known to all the earth!

People of Zion, sing and shout for joy,

for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

Second reading Ephesians 3:8-12,14-19

The love of Christ is beyond all knowledge

I, Paul, who am less than the least of all the saints have been entrusted with this special grace, not only of proclaiming to the pagans the infinite treasure of Christ but also of explaining how the mystery is to be dispensed. Through all the ages, this has been kept hidden in God, the creator of everything. Why? So that the Sovereignties and Powers should learn only now, through the Church, how comprehensive God’s wisdom really is, exactly according to the plan which he had had from all eternity in Christ Jesus our Lord. This is why we are bold enough to approach God in complete confidence, through our faith in him.

This, then, is what I pray, kneeling before the Father, from whom every family, whether spiritual or natural, takes its name:

Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit for your hidden self to grow strong, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, you will with all the saints have strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth; until, knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge, you are filled with the utter fullness of God.

Gospel John 19:31-37

Out of his pierced side there came out blood and water

It was Preparation Day, and to prevent the bodies remaining on the cross during the sabbath – since that sabbath was a day of special solemnity – the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken away. Consequently the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with him and then of the other. When they came to Jesus, they found he was already dead, and so instead of breaking his legs one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance; and immediately there came out blood and water. This is the evidence of one who saw it – trustworthy evidence, and he knows he speaks the truth – and he gives it so that you may believe as well. Because all this happened to fulfil the words of scripture:

Not one bone of his will be broken;

and again, in another place scripture says:

They will look on the one whom they have pierced.

11th June 2021 Friday 10th Week of Ordinary Time – Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Reflection
Hosea 11:1,3-4,8-9, Ephesians 3:8-12, 14-19, John 19:31-37

“The heart of God is the pierced heart of Christ”
As we celebrate today’s feast, let us look and contemplate on the pierced heart of Jesus as portrayed in the image of the Sacred Heart. On the cross, Jesus, God in human form, showed “the breath and the length, the height and the depth” of Christ’s love and it is a love that is beyond all human knowledge, as said by St. Paul in the second reading. Thus, in front of the pierced heart of Christ, all we can do is to experience ourselves loved, cherished and forgiven.

As we contemplate the image of the Sacred Heart, we are also invited to look at the state of our hearts. We tend to love those around us with limitations and often let others down. Today, let us open ourselves to experience the outpouring love of the Sacred Heart so that His love can flow in us and through us to embrace and touch the lives of the people God has placed in our paths today.

Question for reflection:
What does today’s feast mean for me at this moment of my life?

11 hb Jun 2021 Hari Jumaat Minggu Biasa Ke – 10 – Hari Raya Hati Kudus Yesus.

Renungan
Hosea 11:1,3-4,8-9, Efesus 3:8-12, 14-19, Yohanes 19:31-37

“Hati Allah adalah hati Yesus yang tertusuk”
Pada saat kita merayakan perayaan pesta hari ini, marilah melihat dan merenungkan hati Yesus yang tertusuk seperti yang digambarkan di dalam imej Hati Kudus Yesus. Di atas kayu salib, Yesus, dalam rupa manusia telah menunjukkan “betapa lebarnya dan panjangnya dan tingginya” kasih Kristus dan dapat mengenal kasih itu, sekalipun ia melampaui segala pengetahuan, seperti yang dikatakan oleh St. Paulus dalam pembacaan kedua. Oleh itu, di depan hati Kristus yang tertusuk, yang dapat kita lakukan adalah mengalami diri kita yang dikasihi, dihargai dan diampuni.

Saat kita merenungkan imej Hati Kudus Yesus, kita juga dijemput untuk melihat keadaan hati kita. Kita cenderung mengasihi orang-orang disekitar kita dengan keterbatasan dan seringkali mengecewakan orang lain. Hari ini, marilah membuka diri kita untuk mengalami kasih yang melimpah dari Hati Kudus Yesus agar kasihNya dapat mengalir di dalam dan melalui kita untuk menerima dan menyentuh kehidupan orang-orang yang ditempatkan Tuhan di jalan kita hari ini.

Soalan renungan:
Apakah erti perayaan ini bagi saya ketika ini?

Renungan
Hosea 11:1,3-4,8-9; Eph 3:8-12,14-19 ; John 19:31-37

Dalam pengerami ti diintu kitai saritu, aram kitai meda sereta belemati ka ati Jesus ti direjang baka ka ba gambar Ati Kudus.

2021年6月11日耶稣圣心节

省思
《欧十一:1、3-4、8-9》
《弗三:8-12、14-19》
《若十九:31-37》

” 天主的心就是那被刺痛的耶稣圣心 “
当我们庆祝今天的节日，让我们凝视并默想耶稣那被刺痛的心犹如画像中的耶稣圣心。
诚如圣保禄在第二读经里所叙述的：“在十字架上，耶稣，天主取了人躯，展示了基督的爱是怎样的广、阔、高、深，而这爱是远超人所知的。”
因此在耶稣被刺痛的圣心前，我们能做的只是默默地感受被爱，被拥抱，被原谅。
我们一方面默想耶稣的圣心，一方面也要看看我们自己的心。我们爱人，通常都有自己的尺度，或常让人失望。让我们今天敞开心扉体验耶稣圣心倾泻而出的爱。让这份爱流入我们的心并通过我们去环抱或感动那些出现在我们生命的人。

省思题:
在我此刻的生命里，今天的庆典对我有何意义？
