First reading Acts 8:1-8

They went from place to place, preaching the Good News

That day a bitter persecution started against the church in Jerusalem, and everyone except the apostles fled to the country districts of Judaea and Samaria.
  There were some devout people, however, who buried Stephen and made great mourning for him.
  Saul then worked for the total destruction of the Church; he went from house to house arresting both men and women and sending them to prison.
  Those who had escaped went from place to place preaching the Good News. One of them was Philip who went to a Samaritan town and proclaimed the Christ to them. The people united in welcoming the message Philip preached, either because they had heard of the miracles he worked or because they saw them for themselves. There were, for example, unclean spirits that came shrieking out of many who were possessed, and several paralytics and cripples were cured. As a result there was great rejoicing in that town.
 

Responsorial Psalm 65(66):1-7

Cry out with joy to God, all the earth.
or
Alleluia!
 
Cry out with joy to God all the earth,
  O sing to the glory of his name.
O render him glorious praise.
  Say to God: ‘How tremendous your deeds!
 
Cry out with joy to God, all the earth.
or
Alleluia!
 
Because of the greatness of your strength
  your enemies cringe before you.
Before you all the earth shall bow;
  shall sing to you, sing to your name!’
 
Cry out with joy to God, all the earth.
or
Alleluia!
 
Come and see the works of God,
  tremendous his deeds among men.
He turned the sea into dry land,
  they passed through the river dry-shod.
 
Cry out with joy to God, all the earth.
or
Alleluia!
 
Let our joy then be in him;
  he rules for ever by his might.
His eyes keep watch over the nations:
  let rebels not rise against him.
 
Cry out with joy to God, all the earth.
or
Alleluia!
 

Gospel John 6:35-40

It is my Father’s will that whoever sees the Son should have eternal life

Jesus said to the crowd:
 
‘I am the bread of life.
He who comes to me will never be hungry;
he who believes in me will never thirst.
But, as I have told you,
you can see me and still you do not believe.
All that the Father gives me will come to me,
and whoever comes to me I shall not turn him away;
because I have come from heaven, not to do my own will,
but to do the will of the one who sent me.
Now the will of him who sent me
is that I should lose nothing of all that he has given to me,
and that I should raise it up on the last day.
Yes, it is my Father’s will
that whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life,
and that I shall raise him up on the last day.’

21st April 2021 Wednesday 3rd week of Easter – St. Anselm.

Reflection
Acts 8:1-8, John 6:35-40

“Jesus, the Bread of Life, does not reject but welcomes all”
“I will certainly not reject anyone who comes to me, because I have come from heaven, not to do my own will, but to do the will of him who sent me.”: This is the God that we worship and believe in. Jesus, the Love incarnated, has come to reveal the heart of God whose love is faithful. He will never reject anyone who comes to Him because He always desires to be in communion with all of us. His love never discriminates. Even though we might turn away from Him, God will never turn away from us. He always welcomes us with open arms and remains for us the Bread of Life.

What about us? Do we recognise the church, our faith community, our homes as places of the pure and righteous or places where saints and sinners are welcomed? The call today is for us to first let ourselves be embraced by God’s faithful love. From this experience of being loved, we are called to present this faithful love of God to others by welcoming them into the church and our faith community and offering them the opportunity to encounter God who never rejects anyone.

Question for reflection:
How can I imitate God’s inclusive love?
????????

21 hb April 2021 Hari Rabu Minggu Paska Ke-3 – St. Anselm.

Renungan
Kisah Para Rasul 8:1-8, Yohanes 6:35-40

“Yesus, Roti Hidup, tidak menolak tetapi menerima semua orang.”
“Sesiapa yang datang kepada-Ku, ia tidak akan ku buang sebab Aku telah turun dari syurga bukan untuk melakukan kehendak-Ku, tetapi untuk melakukan kehendak Dia yang telah mengutus AKu.”: Inilah Tuhan yang kita sembah dan percaya. Yesus, cinta yang dijelmakan telah datang untuk menunjukkan hati Tuhan yang memiliki kasih yang setia. Dia tidak pernah menolak sesiapapun yang datang kepada-Nya kerana Dia sentiasa ingin bersatu dengan kita. Cinta-Nya tidak pernah membeza-bezakan. Tuhan tidak pernah berpaling dari kita walaupun kita mungkin berpaling daripada-Nya. Dia sentiasa menerima kita dengan tangan terbuka dan tetap menjadi Roti Hidup bagi kita.

Bagaimana dengan kita? Adakah kita menyedari bahawa gereja, iman komuniti kita, rumah kita sebagai tempat yang suci atau tempat dimana orang-orang kudus dan para pendosa diterima? Panggilan untuk kita pada pagi ini adalah untuk membiarkan diri kita dipeluk oleh kasih setia Tuhan. Melalui pengalaman dikasihi ini kita dipanggil untuk menyatakan kasih setia Tuhan kepada orang lain dengan menerima mereka ke dalam gereja dan komuniti dan menawarkan kepada mereka peluang untuk bertemu Tuhan yang tidak akan menolak sesiapapun.

Soalan Renungan:
Bagaimana saya dapat meniru kasih Tuhan yang tidak tertutup?
????????

21 April 2021, Orou Katalu Minggu’ Paska Katalu, St. Anselm

Rinalatan 8:1-8; Juanis 6:35-40

I Jisus, Ruti’ Kaayagan, kalo impayin kaa’ mangapu ra ngaangai’

21-04-2021 Hari Empat Minggu Paska Ka-3 – St. Anselm

Renungan
Kereja Rasul 8:1-8; John 6:35-40

“Jesus Ruti Pengidup ngalu semua mensia.”
“Barang sapa ti datai ngagai Aku sigi enda ditulak aku laban Aku udah datai ari serega, ukai deka ngereja peneka Aku Empu, tang ngereja peneka Iya ke ngirumka Aku.”: Tu meh Allah Taala ti disembah sereta di arap ka kitai. Jesus, Pengerindu ti nyadi Mensia, udah datai mandangka ati Allah Taala ti talok. Iya enda nulak orang ti datai ngagai Iya laban Iya ingin beserakup enggau semua kitai. Pengerindu Iya enda beciping. Taja kitai suah nguing ari Iya, Allah Taala enda nguing ari kitai. Iya seruran ngalu kitai pulai lalu meruan nyadi Ruti Pengidup ka kitai.

Kati baka kitai deh? Bisi kitai ngelala Gerija, gerempong Kristian kitai, bilik kitai nyadi palan tuchi sereta lurus tauka nyadi palan endur orang ti kudus enggau orang ti bepenyalah dialu tama? Kangau keterubah kitai saritu awak nerima penalok pengerindu Allah Taala. Bepun ari pengasai dikerindu, kitai dikangau nyerah pengerindu Allah Taala tu ka orang bukai sereta nerima semua dalam Gerija enggau gerempong pengarap kitai ngambi sida ngasaika Allah Taala ti nadai nulak sebarang orang.

Kati aku ulih bechuan ka pengerindu Allah Taala ti enda beciping?
????????

2021年4月21日复活节第三周星期三

省思
《宗八:1-8》
《若六:35-40》

“耶稣,生命的食糧。不会拒绝,反而欢迎所有人。”

“凡父赐给我的人,都会到我这里來。那到我这里來的,我都不会拒绝;因为我從天而來,不是为实现我自己的意愿,而是为承行那派我來者的旨意。”
这就是我们崇拜和相信的天主。耶稣,因爱而化身,是被派来宣扬天主专一的爱。祂从不会拒绝来到祂面前的人,因为祂一直要和我们交流。祂的爱是没有鄙视的。就算我们离祂而去,天主也永远不会离开我们。祂是永远的欢迎我们并且是我们生命的粮食。
那么我们呢?我们是否认定我们的教会、我们的信仰社区、我们的家、是个纯洁和正义并且愿意欢迎所有的圣人和罪人?
今天我们的使命是要先接受天主专一的爱。有了被爱的经验,我们就可以以欢迎人们进入我们的教堂和信仰社区来宣传天主专一的爱,并且让他们有机会体验从不拒绝人们的天主。

省思题:
我要如何模仿天主广泛的爱?
????????
