First reading Judges 2:11-19

The Lord appoints judges to rescue the men of Israel

The sons of Israel did what displeases the Lord, and served the Baals. They deserted the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods from the gods of the peoples round them. They bowed down to these; they provoked the Lord; they deserted the Lord to serve Baal and Astarte. Then the Lord’s anger flamed out against Israel. He handed them over to pillagers who plundered them; he delivered them to the enemies surrounding them, and they were not able to resist them. In every warlike venture, the hand of the Lord was there to foil them, as the Lord had warned, as the Lord had sworn to them. Thus he reduced them to dire distress.
  Then the Lord appointed judges for them, and rescued the men of Israel from the hands of their plunderers. But they would not listen to their judges. They prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed down before these. Very quickly they left the path their ancestors had trodden in obedience to the orders of the Lord; they did not follow their example. When the Lord appointed judges for them, the Lord was with the judge and rescued them from the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived, for the Lord felt pity for them as they groaned under the iron grip of their oppressors. But once the judge was dead, they relapsed and behaved even worse than their ancestors. They followed other gods; they served them and bowed before them, and would not give up the practices and stubborn ways of their ancestors at all.
 

Responsorial Psalm 105(106):34-37,39-40,43-44

O Lord, remember me out of the love you have for your people.
 
They failed to destroy the peoples
  as the Lord had given command,
but instead they mingled with the nations
  and learned to act as they did.
 
O Lord, remember me out of the love you have for your people.
 
They worshipped the idols of the nations
  and these became a snare to entrap them.
They even offered their own sons
  and their daughters in sacrifice to demons.
 
O Lord, remember me out of the love you have for your people.
 
So they defiled themselves by their deeds
  and broke their marriage bond with the Lord
till his anger blazed against his people;
  he was filled with horror at his chosen ones.
 
O Lord, remember me out of the love you have for your people.
 
Time after time he rescued them,
  but in their malice they dared to defy him.
In spite of this he paid heed to their distress,
  so often as he heard their cry.
 
O Lord, remember me out of the love you have for your people.
 

Gospel Matthew 19:16-22

If you wish to be perfect, go and sell what you own

There was a man who came to Jesus and asked, ‘Master, what good deed must I do to possess eternal life?’ Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you ask me about what is good? There is one alone who is good. But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’ He said, ‘Which?’ ‘These:’ Jesus replied ‘You must not kill. You must not commit adultery. You must not bring false witness. Honour your father and mother, and: you must love your neighbour as yourself.’ The young man said to him, ‘I have kept all these. What more do I need to do?’ Jesus said, ‘If you wish to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ But when the young man heard these words he went away sad, for he was a man of great wealth.

Reflection
Judges 2:11-19, Matthew 19:16-22

“Taking the step to let go”
‘Master, what good deed must I do to possess eternal life?’. In the gospel passage, a man asked Jesus this question because He wanted to find the path to eternal life, i.e., communion with God. Yet, how many of us take the time to ask such questions? Do we long to seek to be in loving communion with God here, now and forever?

When Jesus told this man to let go of his wealth and give his money to the poor, he walked away because he could not have the strength to do as he was told. In a way, he could not let go because he felt that his wealth was the source of his happiness and life. What about us today? We, like this man, have things, people, habits and even attitudes in us that we cling onto, which we struggle to let go of, because we are convinced that we can find our security, happiness and comfort in them. Today, let us listen to Jesus as He beckons us to go to Him and find in Him as the source where we can find true happiness, security and peace.

Question for reflection:
What holds me back from the One who is the source of eternal life
?????????

Renungan
Hakim 2:11-19, Matius 19:16-22

“Mengambil langkah untuk melepaskan”
‘Guru, perbuatan baika apakah yang harus ku perbuat untuk memperoleh hidup yang kekal? ’. Dalam petikan injil, seorang pemuda bertanya soalan ini kepada Yesus kerana dia ingin mencari jalan untuk hidup yang kekal, iaitu, kesatuan dengan Allah. Namun, berapa ramai di antara kita mengambil masa bertanya soalan ini? Adakah kita rindu untuk berusaha berada dalam kesatuan kasih dengan Allah di sini, sekarang dan selamanya?

Apabila Yesus memberitahu pemuda tersebut untuk meninggalkan kekayaannya dan memberikan hartanya kepada orang miskin, dia berlalu pergi kerana tidak memiliki kekuatan untuk melakukan apa yang diminta oleh Yesus. Dengan kata lain, dia tidak dapat melepaskannya kerana dia merasa bahawa kekayaannya adalah sumber kebahagiaan dan kehidupannya. Bagaimana dengan kita saat ini? Seperti pemuda ini, kita mempunyai banyak benda, orang-orang, tabiat dan bahkan sikap dalam diri kita yang sukar untuk dilepaskan, kerana kita yakin bahawa kita dapat menemukan keselamatan, kebahagiaan dan keselesaan di dalamnya. Hari ini, marilah mendengarkan Yesus ketika Dia meminta kita untuk datang kepadaNya dan menemukan di dalamNya sumber dimana kita dapat menemukan kebahagiaan, keselamatan dan kedamaian yang sejati.

Soalan renungan:
Apakah yang menghalang saya dari Dia yang adalah sumber hidup kekal?

Penghulu 2:11-19;
Mathew 19:16-22

Mutus ati deka ngelepas.
“Pengajar, nama pengawa ti manah ti enda tau enda dikereja aku ngambika aku tau bulih pengidup ti meruan belama iya?” Ba bacha Injil, siko orang nanya Jesus bansa tu laban iya deka ngiga jalai ngagai pengidup meruan, kelebih agi beserakup dalam Allah Taala. Taja pia, sapa bagi kitai bisi udah nanya kenya mega? Bisi kitai ngembuan juluk ati ngiga jalai deka beserakup dalam pengerindu enggau Allah Taala ditu, diatu sereta belama iya?

Lebuh Jesus nyaut orang tu, Iya ngasoh iya mutus ati ngelepas ka pengaya raja enggau meri reta iya ngagai orang ti seranta, orang nya tadi lalu mupuk bejalai laban iya nadai pengering ngereja utai ti usah dipadahka Jesus. Iya enda ulij ngelengka ka semua laban iya tetemuka pengaga enggau pengidup dalam reta pengaya iya. Kati baka kitai saritu deh? Baka orang tu mega, kitai bisi ngembuan mayuh utai, kaban belayan, pendiau sereta ulah ti dalam kitai ka ngasoh kitai tusah deka ngelepas laban kitai udah ngasaika pengelantang, pengaga sereta penyamai dalam semua utai nya. Saritu aram meh kitai ninga ka Jesus lebuh Iya meransang kitai awak datai ngagai Iya sereta tetemuka dalam Iya meh pun pengaga ati,penyelamat sereta pemaik kitai ti amat.

Nama utai ti nagang aku ari datai ngagai Iya ti pun pengidup merua

省思
《民二:11-19》
《玛十九:16-22》

“踏出去放开手”
‘老师,我要行什么善,才能得到永生呢?’在福音篇章里,有个人问了耶稣这一道问题,因为他想要寻找通往永生的道路,就如同与天主的共融。然而,在我们当中的多少人有腾出时间来问一问这一道问题呢?我们是否盼望与现在、今在、和永远都在的天主达到亲切的共融呢?

当耶稣告诉那个人去放开他的财富,并且把钱财捐给穷人的时候,那个人离开了;因为他没有足够的勇气照着耶稣的话去做。以某种形式来看,他不能放开因为他认为这些财富是他快乐和生命的资源。今时今日的我们又如何呢?我们就像那个人一样,拥有很多财物、很多友人、很多习惯、甚至是在我们内有着很多不同的态度等,这些都是我们坚持保守着的一切,也是让我们感到无比挣扎是否应该放弃的种种;这是因为我们深信从这些事物中,我们得到了保障、愉悦、及慰藉。今天,让我们聆听耶稣,祂正在向我们招手,也正催促我们走向祂。让我们发现到祂就是我们可以找到喜乐、保障、和平等的资源。

省思题:
什么阻挡我走向惟一永生的资源呢?
