First reading Deuteronomy 10:12-22

The Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords

Moses said to the people:
  ‘Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you? Only this: to fear the Lord your God, to follow all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul, to keep the commandments and laws of the Lord that for your good I lay down for you today.
  ‘To the Lord your God belong indeed heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth and all it contains; yet it was on your fathers that the Lord set his heart for love of them, and after them of all the nations chose their descendants, you yourselves, up to the present day. Circumcise your heart then and be obstinate no longer; for the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, triumphant and terrible, never partial, never to be bribed. It is he who sees justice done for the orphan and the widow, who loves the stranger and gives him food and clothing. Love the stranger then, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. It is the Lord your God you must fear and serve; you must cling to him; in his name take your oaths. He it is you must praise, he is your God: for you he has done these great and terrible things you have seen with your own eyes; and though your fathers numbered only seventy when they went down to Egypt, the Lord your God has made you as many as the stars of heaven.’
 

Responsorial Psalm 147:12-15,19-20

O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
or
Alleluia!
 
O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
  Zion, praise your God!
He has strengthened the bars of your gates
  he has blessed the children within you.
 
O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
or
Alleluia!
 
He established peace on your borders,
  he feeds you with finest wheat.
He sends out his word to the earth
  and swiftly runs his command.
 
O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
or
Alleluia!
 
He makes his word known to Jacob,
  to Israel his laws and decrees.
He has not dealt thus with other nations;
  he has not taught them his decrees.
 
O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
or
Alleluia!
 

Gospel Matthew 17:22-27

‘They will put the Son of Man to death’

One day when they were together in Galilee, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘The Son of Man is going to be handed over into the power of men; they will put him to death, and on the third day he will be raised to life again.’ And a great sadness came over them.
  When they reached Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel came to Peter and said, ‘Does your master not pay the half-shekel?’ ‘Oh yes’ he replied, and went into the house. But before he could speak, Jesus said, ‘Simon, what is your opinion? From whom do the kings of the earth take toll or tribute? From their sons or from foreigners?’ And when he replied, ‘From foreigners’, Jesus said, ‘Well then, the sons are exempt. However, so as not to offend these people, go to the lake and cast a hook; take the first fish that bites, open its mouth and there you will find a shekel; take it and give it to them for me and for you.’

Reflection
Deuteronomy 10:12-22, Matthew 17:22-27

“On suffering and temple tax”
In today’s gospel, Jesus told His disciples that He would soon face His suffering, death and resurrection. Naturally, the disciples were overwhelmed with great sadness. Without faith, suffering and death are difficult realities for us to grasp fully. Let us, as Christians, walk this path of suffering in the light of Christ’s resurrection, trusting that pain, failure, loss and even death do not have the final word.

Later, tax collectors went to Peter and asked if Jesus paid the Temple tax. In Jesus’ opinion, He and His disciples were free not to pay it because they were the sons and daughters of God the Father. However, He told Peter to go ahead and make the payment so as prevent causing scandal or offending others. As God’s children, we are free in regards to some matters, but our freedom still needs to be governed by love, i.e. a love that seeks the well-being of others. Thus, at times, we need to put aside our rights and privileges in order to see how best we can exercise our love for others by serving and helping them.

Question for reflection:
What strikes me the most in this passage?
?????????

Renungan
Keluaran 10:12-22, Matius 17:22-27

“Tentang penderitaan dan cukai”
Dalam injil hari ini, Yesus mengatakan kepada murid-muridNya bahawa Dia akan menghadapi penderitaan, kematian dan kebangkitan. Secara semulajadi, para murid dilitupi dengan kesedihan. Tanpa iman, penderitaan dan kematian adalah kenyataan yang sukar untuk kita fahami sepenuhnya. Sebagai orang-orang Kristian, marilah kita melalui jalan penderitaan ini dalam terang kebangkitan Kristus, percaya bahawa penderitaan, kegagalan, kehilangan dan bahkan kematian tidak memiliki kata akhir.

Kemudian, pemungut cukai datang kepada Petrus dan bertanya sekiranya Yesus membayar cukai. Pada pendapat Yesus, mereka bebas untuk tidak membayar cukai tersebut kerana mereka adalah anak-anak kepada Allah Bapa. Namun, Yesus mengatakan kepada Petrus untuk mendahului dan membuat bayaran agar tidak menimbulkan skandal dan menyinggung perasaan orang lain. Sebagai anak-anak Allah, kita bebas dalam beberapa perkara, namun kebebasan kita masih harus diatur oleh kasih, iaitu kasih yang mencari kebaikan orang lain. Oleh itu, adakalanya kita harus mengetepikan hak dan keistimewaan kita untuk dapat mempraktikkan kasih kita dengan melayani dan membantu orang lain.

Soalan renungan:
Apakah yang menarik perhatian saya dalam petikan ini?

Renungan
Ulang Adat 10:12-22; Matthew 17:22-27

“Pemerinsa enggau chukai Rumah Sembiang.”
Ba bacha Injil saritu, Jesus nusi pasal pemerinsa, pemati enggau pengangkat Iya ti nyau semak ngagai bala Murid Iya. Sida bala Murid berasai tusah ati sereta sinu. Enti nadai pengarap, pemerinsa enggau pemati nyadi pemendar ti tusah bendar dimeretika kitai. Aram kitai orang Kristian, bejalai nengah jalai pemerinsa dalam terang penampak Kristus tu udah angkat ari pemati, arap ka pemedis, pengerugi sereta pemati nadai kuasa atas kitai.

Enda lama udah nya, pengumpol Chukai datai ngagai Peter sereta nanya iya enti Jesus udah mayar chukai ngagai Rumah Sembiang. Ba penemu Jesus, Iya enggau bala Murid Iya enda ibuh mayar chukai laban sida anak lelaki sereta indu Allah Taala Apai. Taja pia, Iya ngasoh Peter mayar chukai ngambi enda mai penyarut sereta ngenusah ka orang bukai. Kitai ti anembiak Allah Taala, sigi lepas ari sekeda bengkah pekara, tang kitai patut di iring ulih pengerindu, kelebih agi, pengerindu meda pemadas orang bukai. Nya kebuah kitai patut ngelengka sebarang penguntong awak kitai ulih meda jalai kitai mandangka pengerindu nengah nyaup sereta mela orang bukai.

Nama utai ti negu ati aku ba bacha saritu?

省思
«申十:12-22»
«玛十七:22-27»

” 关于苦难和圣殿税 “

在今天的福音中,耶稣告诉祂的门徒,祂很快就会面对苦难、死亡和复活。门徒自然是被巨大的悲伤淹没。 没有信仰,痛苦和死亡都是我们难以理解的现实。 让我们基督徒走这条路在基督复活的光照下,相信那痛苦、失败,甚至死亡都不是最后的定论。

后来税吏去见伯多禄,问耶稣有没有付钱给圣殿税。在耶稣看来,祂和祂的门徒可以自由地不付税钱因为他们是天主的儿女。然而,祂告诉伯多禄继续付款圣殿税,以免造成丑闻或冒犯他人。作为天主的孩子,我们可以自由地做一些事情,但我们的自由仍然需要由爱来支配,即寻求他人幸福的爱。因此,有时,我们需要撇开我们的权利和特权,看看我们如何才能最好地服务,帮助和爱他人。

省思题:
这段福音章节最打动我的是什么?
