First reading Ecclesiasticus 48:1-4,9-12

The prophet Elijah will come again

The prophet Elijah arose like a fire,
  his word flaring like a torch.
It was he who brought famine on the people,
  and who decimated them in his zeal.
By the word of the Lord, he shut up the heavens,
  he also, three times, brought down fire.
How glorious you were in your miracles, Elijah!
  Has anyone reason to boast as you have?
Taken up in the whirlwind of fire,
  in a chariot with fiery horses;
designated in the prophecies of doom
  to allay God’s wrath before the fury breaks,
to turn the hearts of fathers towards their children,
  and to restore the tribes of Jacob,
Happy shall they be who see you,
  and those who have fallen asleep in love.
 

Responsorial Psalm 79(80):2-3,15-16,18-19

God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.
 
O shepherd of Israel, hear us,
  shine forth from your cherubim throne.
O Lord, rouse up your might,
  O Lord, come to our help.
 
God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.
 
God of hosts, turn again, we implore,
  look down from heaven and see.
Visit this vine and protect it,
  the vine your right hand has planted.
 
God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.
 
May your hand be on the man you have chosen,
  the man you have given your strength.
And we shall never forsake you again;
  give us life that we may call upon your name.
 
God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.
 

Gospel Matthew 17:10-13

Elijah has come already and they did not recognise him

As they came down from the mountain the disciples put this question to Jesus, ‘Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?’ ‘True;’ he replied ‘Elijah is to come to see that everything is once more as it should be; however, I tell you that Elijah has come already and they did not recognise him but treated him as they pleased; and the Son of Man will suffer similarly at their hands.’ The disciples understood then that he had been speaking of John the Baptist.

11th December 2021 Saturday 2nd Week of Advent – St. Damasus I.
??????????

Reflection
Ecclesiasticus 48:1-4, 9-11, Matthew 17:10-13

“Open my eyes, Lord, to see what you see!”
“I tell you that Elijah has come already and they did not recognise him but treated him as they pleased”. In today’s gospel, Jesus pointed out that John the Baptist was the long-awaited Elijah, but the people did not recognise him for who he was. As a result, he was poorly treated and eventually beheaded. “…the Son of man will suffer similarly at their hands”. Jesus recognised that He too was heading towards the same path trodden by John the Baptist. Many failed to see His true dignity and significance and could not appreciate His works and words, and thus, He was rejected and crucified on the cross.

As we draw closer to Christmas, let us examine the way we regard others. Often, when we fail to recognise the dignity of those around us, especially those we deem insignificant, we tend to end up crucifying them with harsh words and unloving actions. Today, let us start by looking at others through the eyes of Jesus and start by treating them with love and not hatred, with openness and not prejudices, with respect and not contempt.

Question for reflection:
Is it a challenge for me to see each and every person through the eyes of love?

11 hb Disember 2021 Hari Sabtu Kedua Masa Adven – St. Damasus I

Renungan
Pengkotbah 48:1-4, 9-11, Matius 17:10-13

“Buka mataku Tuhan, untuk melihat apa yang Engkau lihat!”
“dan Aku berkata kepadamu: Elia sudah datang, tetapi orang tidak mengenal dia dan memperlakukannya menurut kehendak mereka.”. Dalam injil hari ini, Yesus mengungkapkan bahawa Yohanes Pembaptis adalah Elia yang telah lama dinantikan, namun orang tidak mengenalinya. Akibatnya, dia dilayan dengan buruk dan akhirnya dipancung. “…demikian juga Anak Manusia akan menderita oleh mereka.”. Yesus mengetahui bahawa diriNya juga akan berjalan di jalan sama yang telah dilalui Yohanes Pembaptis. Ramai orang gagal melihat identiti dan kepentinganNya dan tidak dapat menghargai perbuatan dan perkataanNya. Oleh kerana itu, Yesus ditolak dan disalibkan.

Saat kita semakin menghampiri Krismas, marilah memeriksa cara kita melayani orang lain. Seringkali kita gagal melihat martabat orang-orang di sekeliling kita terutama mereka yang kelihatannya tidak penting. Kita cenderung menyalibkan mereka dengan kata-kata yang keras dan tindakan yang tidak mempunyai kasih. Marilah hari ini mula melihat orang lain melalui mata Yesus dan mula melayani mereka dengan kasih, bukan kebencian, dengan keterbukaan dan bukannya prejudis, dengan hormat dan bukannya penghinaan.

Soalan renungan:
Adakah melihat orang lain dengan mata kasih satu cabaran bagi saya?

11-12-2021 Hari Enam Minggu Penatai ka-2 – St. Damasus I.

Renungan
Penemu Solomon 48:1-4, 9-11, Matthew 17:10-13

“Buka mata aku, Tuhan ngambi ulih meda utai dipeda Nuan!”
“Elijah endang amat dulu datai, lalu nyendiaka semua utai. Tang, Aku madah ngagai kita, Elijah udah datai, lalu sida enda ngelala iya, tang merinsaka Iya sepeneka ati sida”. Ba bacha Injil saritu, Jesus ngajar pasal John Pembaptisa nya meh Elijah ti ditunggu datai, tang mensia mayuh enda ngelala sapa iya. Nya alai, iya kena tangkap sereta di pumpong pala. “…Baka nya mega sida deka merinsaka Anak Mensia.” Jesus nemu Iya empu meda deka niti jalai ti sebaka enggau John Pembaptisa. Mayuh ari sida enda ulih meda sapa Jesus nya alai sida enda temegah ati ka kereja enggau jako ajar Iya ti ngujong ka Iya diperinsa sereta diregang.

Lebuh kitai mansang semak ngagai Hari Krismas, aram kitai belemati ka gaya kitai enggau orang bukai. Suah kitai enda meda sapa sida ti enggau kitai bekaul, kelebih agi sida ti tampak nadai guna, kitai ngeregang sida ngena leka jako kasar sereta nadai ati rindu ka sida. Saritu, aram meh kitai bepun meda orang bukai ngena mata Jesus sereta rindu ka sida, nerima enggau ati basa sida ti enggau kitai bekaul.

Bisi kenya nyadi penanggol ba aku meda orang bukai enggau mata pengerindu?

2021年12月11日 将临期第二周星期六 教宗圣达苏一世

省思
《德四十八:1-4, 9-11》
《玛十七: 10-13》

“主啊,求祢开启我双眼,能见祢所见!”

“但我告诉你们:厄里亚已经来了,人们却不认识他,反而任意待了他; “。今天的福音耶稣指出洗者若翰是期待已久的厄里亚,但百姓却没有认出他是谁。结果,他受到了恶劣的对待,最终被斩首。”…照样,人子也要受他们的磨难”。 耶稣深知祂也将步上洗者若翰的后尘。许多人没有认识祂真正的身份,未能珍赏祂的行为和话语,因此,祂被拒絕,被釘死在十字架上。

圣诞节将近,让我们反省我们待人的方式。通常,当我们不尊重周围的人时,尤其是那些我们认为微不足道的人,我们往往会以严厉的言辞和无情的行为把他们钉在十字架上。今天,让我们通过耶稣的目光看人,以爱而不是恨,带着开放而不是偏见,带着尊重而不是蔑视。

省思题:
以爱德的眼光看待每一个人,对我来说是一个挑战吗?
