First reading Deuteronomy 6:4-13

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart

Moses said to the people:
  ‘Listen, Israel: the Lord our God is the one Lord. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength. Let these words I urge on you today be written on your heart. You shall repeat them to your children and say them over to them whether at rest in your house or walking abroad, at your lying down or at your rising; you shall fasten them on your hand as a sign and on your forehead as a circlet; you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
  ‘When the Lord has brought you into the land which he swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that he would give you, with great and prosperous cities not of your building, houses full of good things not furnished by you, wells you did not dig, vineyards and olives you did not plant, when you have eaten these and had your fill, then take care you do not forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You must fear the Lord your God, you must serve him, by his name you must swear.’
 

Responsorial Psalm 17(18):2-4,47,51

I love you, Lord, my strength.
 
I love you, Lord, my strength,
  my rock, my fortress, my saviour.
 
I love you, Lord, my strength.
 
My God is the rock where I take refuge;
  my shield, my mighty help, my stronghold.
The Lord is worthy of all praise,
  when I call I am saved from my foes.
 
I love you, Lord, my strength.
 
Long life to the Lord, my rock!
  Praised be the God who saves me,
He has given great victories to his king
  and shown his love for his anointed.
 
I love you, Lord, my strength.
 

Gospel Matthew 17:14-20

If your faith were the size of a mustard seed, the mountain would move

A man came up to Jesus and went down on his knees before him. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘take pity on my son: he is a lunatic and in a wretched state; he is always falling into the fire or into the water. I took him to your disciples and they were unable to cure him.’ ‘Faithless and perverse generation!’ Jesus said in reply ‘How much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.’ And when Jesus rebuked it the devil came out of the boy who was cured from that moment.
  Then the disciples came privately to Jesus. ‘Why were we unable to cast it out?’ they asked. He answered, ‘Because you have little faith. I tell you solemnly, if your faith were the size of a mustard seed you could say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it would move; nothing would be impossible for you.’

Reflection
Deuteronomy 6:4-13, Matthew 17:14-20

“I do have faith, Lord, but help me with my little faith”
Jesus’ disciples tried to heal a man’s sick son but they were unable to. After Jesus healed the boy, the disciples went to Him and asked, “Why were we unable to drive it out?” This failure to heal the boy made them to face their own limitations and helplessness.

Let us reflect on this question that the disciples posed to Jesus, and identify those moments when we too have come face-to-face with situations that seem to test our inability to do the right things and make us recognise our limitations. We ask ourselves, “Why can’t I do this?…”. Jesus’ reply to His disciples, “Because you have so little faith”. Like the disciples, we have faith in Jesus, but “little faith” which weakens when we look at the overwhelming situations and forget to fix our gaze on Him and trust more in Him. Today, Jesus invites us to keep growing to know and love Him so that we can have trusting faith in Him.

Question for reflection:
Do I desire to have a strong, trusting faith in Jesus?
?????????

Renungan
Ulangan 6:4-13, Matius 17:14-20

“Tuhan, saya memiliki iman namun, bantulah saya dengan iman kecil yang saya miliki”
Murid-murid Yesus cuba menyembuhkan anak seorang pemuda yang sedang sakit namun mereka tidak dapat melakukannya. Setelah Yesus menyembuhkan anak lelaki tersebut, murid-muridNya bertanya kepadaNya, “Mengapa kami tidak dapat mengusirnya? Kegagalan mereka menyembuhkan anak lelaki tersebut membuat mereka berhadapan dengan kegagalan dan ketidakberdayaan mereka.

Marilah merenungkan soalan yang diajukan murid-murid Yesus kepadaNya, dan mengenal pasti saat-saat di mana kita berhadapan dengan peristiwa yang menguji kemampuan kita untuk melakukan yang benar sehingga menyebabkan kita menyedari kekurangan diri kita sendiri. Kita bertanya kepada diri kita, “Mengapa aku tidak dapat melakukannya?….”. Jawapan Yesus kepada murid-muridNya adalah, “Kerana kamu memiliki iman yang kecil”. Seperti murid-murid Yesus, kita memiliki iman kepada Yesus, namun “iman kecil” yang menjadi lemah saat kita berhadapan dengan situasi yang mencabar sehingga kita terlupa untuk menetapkan pandangan kita padaNya dan percaya kepadaNya. Hari ini Yesus menjemput kita untuk terus bertumbuh dan mencintaiNya agar kita dapat terus percaya kepadaNya.

Soalan renungan:
Adakah saya ingin memiliki iman yang kuat dan percaya kepada Yesus?

Ulang Adat 6:4-13
Matthew 17:14-20

“Aku bisi pengarap, Tuhan, tang saup aku negap ka pengarap ti dikembuan aku”.

Bala murid Jesus nguji nyuman anak laki siko nya tang sida enda ulih. Sepengudah disuman ka Jesus, bala murid datai lalu nanya Iya, “Lapa kami enda ulih muru antu nya?”. Sida enda ulih nyuman ka anak nya laban sida bisi penakat sereta pengelemi diri.

Aram kitai belematika tanya bala murid Jesus tu ngagai Iya sereta nyema diri enggau awak endur kitai empu kala ngasaika diri nadai daya ngereja utai ti patut sereta ngaku penakat kitai. Kitai nanya diri empu, “lapa aku enda ulih ngereja utai tu?…Ko Jesus nyaut bala murid Iya, “laban kitai enda tegap ati”. Baka bala murid, kitai bisi pengarap dalam Jesus tang “enda tegap ati” datai ka tu ulih ngelemika kitai lebuh kitai bisi pengawa dikereja laban kitai enda nguing malik ngagai Jesus sereta arap ka Iya enggau dalam agi. Saritu, Jesus ngangau kitai awak seruran mansang tegap deka ngelala sereta rindu ka Iya ngambi kitai ulih nyerah ka diri enggau ati tegap dalam pengarap ngagai Iya.

Bisi aku ngembuan pengeran ti kering, tegap agi dalam pengarap ngagai Jesus?

省思
《申六:4-13》
《玛十七:14-20》

“我有信德,天主,但是,请耶稣帮助我的小信德”
门徒要帮助一名男人的孩子可是不能。耶稣医治那人之后,他们私下问耶稣:”为什么我们不能驱走那魔鬼呢?”失败的结果让他们了解到自己的极限和无助。
让我们也反省这个问题,那就是门徒问耶稣的问题,并且自己确认我们要面对自己要做对的事情时的无能和面对自己的极限。我们问自己:”为什么我们做不到?”耶稣回答门徒说:”因为你们的信德很小。”就像门徒们,我们都有信德,可是我们的”小信德”会在我们面对困难时变得更弱,并且让我们忘了注视祂和相信祂。今天,耶稣邀我们一直成为去多了解和爱祂,这样,我们就会对天主有更多的信德

省思题:
我是否渴望对耶稣有强的信德?
