First reading Acts 11:19-26

They started preaching to the Greeks, proclaiming the Lord Jesus

Those who had escaped during the persecution that happened because of Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, but they usually proclaimed the message only to Jews. Some of them, however, who came from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch where they started preaching to the Greeks, proclaiming the Good News of the Lord Jesus to them as well. The Lord helped them, and a great number believed and were converted to the Lord.

The church in Jerusalem heard about this and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. There he could see for himself that God had given grace, and this pleased him, and he urged them all to remain faithful to the Lord with heartfelt devotion; for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a large number of people were won over to the Lord.

Barnabas then left for Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him he brought him to Antioch. As things turned out they were to live together in that church a whole year, instructing a large number of people. It was at Antioch that the disciples were first called ‘Christians.’

Responsorial Psalm 86 (87)

O praise the Lord, all you nations!

Alleluia!

On the holy mountain is his city

cherished by the Lord.

The Lord prefers the gates of Zion

to all Jacob’s dwellings.

Of you are told glorious things,

O city of God!

O praise the Lord, all you nations!

Alleluia!

‘Babylon and Egypt I will count

among those who know me;

Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia,

these will be her children

and Zion shall be called “Mother”

for all shall be her children.’

O praise the Lord, all you nations!

Alleluia!

It is he, the Lord Most High,

who gives each his place.

In his register of peoples he writes:

‘These are her children,’

and while they dance they will sing:

‘In you all find their home.’

O praise the Lord, all you nations!

Alleluia!

Gospel John 10:22-30

The Father and I are one

It was the time when the feast of Dedication was being celebrated in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the Temple walking up and down in the Portico of Solomon. The Jews gathered round him and said, ‘How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.’ Jesus replied:

‘I have told you, but you do not believe.

The works I do in my Father’s name are my witness;

but you do not believe,

because you are no sheep of mine.

The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice;

I know them and they follow me.

I give them eternal life;

they will never be lost

and no one will ever steal them from me.

The Father who gave them to me is greater than anyone,

and no one can steal from the Father.

The Father and I are one.’

Reflection
Acts 11:19-26, John 10: 22-30

“In the heart of the Shepherd”
“The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me.”: Today, Jesus reminds us once again that we need to listen to His voice among the many other voices that tend to vie for our attention. We need to listen to Him in the silence of our hearts, in others, and most of all, in the Scriptures. We listen in order to follow Him. The good news is that Jesus is the first one who is always faithful to us. He, as our Shepherd, will never allow any of us to be lost, stolen or fall away from Him. Even if we consciously walk away from Him, He will never abandon us but waits for us to come back to Him because His love for us has no end.

Following the Shepherd, we are loved and protected. Each day, He wants to lead us to eternal life, to share God’s life of love and communion. Let us keep listening to the voice of the Shepherd, the voice of Love, and abide in His love.

Question for reflection:
What is Jesus’ message for me as I pray with the gospel passage today?

Renungan
Kisah Para Rasul 11:19-26, Yohanes 10: 22-30

“Hati seorang Gembala”
“Domba-domba-Ku mendengarkan suara-Ku dan Aku mengenal mereka dan mereka mengikut AKu.” Hari ini Yesus mengingatkan kita sekali lagi bahwa kita perlu mendengar suara-Nya diantara banyak suara yang cenderung menarik perhatian kita. Kita perlu mendengar kepada-Nya di dalam keheningan hati kita, melalui orang lain dan terutama sekali melalui Kitab Suci. Kita mendengar agar dapat mengikuti Dia. Khabar baiknya adalah bahawa Yesus adalah yang pertama yang selalu setia kepada kita. Sebagai Gembala, Dia tidak akan pernah membiarkan kita hilang dan menjauh daripadaNya. Walaupun kita secara sedar menjauh dariNya, Dia tidak akan pernah meninggalkan kita tetapi menunggu kita kembali kepada-Nya kerana kasihNya terhadap kita tidak mempunyai pengakhiran.

Dengan mengikuti Gembala, kita dikasihi dan dilindungi. Setiap hari Dia ingin memimpin
kita menuju hidup kekal, untuk mengongsikan kasih dan kesatuan hidup Allah. Marilah terus mendengar suara Gembala, suara Kasih dan tinggal di dalam kasih-Nya.

Soalan Renungan:
Apakah pesan Yesus kepada saya saat ini?

“Dalam ati Pengibun Bedus.”
“Bedus Aku mendingka nyawa Aku. Aku ngelala sida, lalu sida nitihka Aku.” : Saritu, Jesus ngingatka kitai sekali agi awak kitai patut mendingka nyawa Iya lebih agi ari nyawa bukai ti bepekit deka narit ati kitai. Kitai patut mendingka Iya dalam ati kitai ti sunyi, nengah orang bukai sereta kelebih agi dalam Bup Kudus. Kitai mendingka Iya ngambi ulih nitih ka Iya. Iya ti nyadi Pengibun Bedus kitai,enda ngelak ka kitai lenyau,dichuri tauka tepenjoh jauh ari Iya. Taja kitai nitih ka runding diri ngelari ari Iya, Iya enda kala ngelengka ka kitai twng nganti kitai nikal pulai ngagai Iya laban pengerindu Iya nadai pemuntan.

Dalam nitihka Jesus, kitai dikerindu sereta di dinding. Genap hari, Iya deka ngiring kitai ngagai pengidup meruan, bekunsi pengidup pengerindu Allah Taala sereta kaul Iya. Aram kitai mendingka nyawa Pengibun Bedus, nyawa Pengerindu sereta diau dalam pengerindu Iya.

Nama pesan Jesus soh aku lebuh besembiang ngena bacha saritu?

省思
«宗十一:19-26»
«若十:22-30»

” 在善牧的内心”
“我的羊聽我的聲音，我也認識他們，他們也跟隨我。” ；今天，耶稣再次提醒我们，我们需要倾听祂的声音，因为有其他许多声音很想争夺我们的注意力。我们内心应当在静默中倾听祂的声音，在他人中，最重要是在圣经中。我们聆听祂以便能够跟随祂。好消息是耶稣是第一位永远的对我们忠实。作为我们的善牧，他永远不会允许我们当中任何一个人迷失，被盗或从祂身上离弃。即使我们时常有意识地离开祂，祂也将永远不会抛弃我们，但是却等待我们回到祂身边，因为祂对我们的爱永远没有停止。

跟随善牧的时候，我们被爱和受到保护。每天，祂都想带领我们走向永生，分享天主的爱，和与祂共融。让我们继续聆听善牧的声音，天主爱的声音，和居住在祂爱内。

省思题：
今天我接着福音章节祈祷时，耶稣要告诉我的信息是什么?
