First reading Deuteronomy 26:16-19

You will be a people consecrated to the Lord

Moses said to the people: ‘The Lord your God today commands you to observe these laws and customs; you must keep and observe them with all your heart and with all your soul.
  ‘You have today made this declaration about the Lord: that he will be your God, but only if you follow his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and listen to his voice. And the Lord has today made this declaration about you: that you will be his very own people as he promised you, but only if you keep all his commandments; then for praise and renown and honour he will set you high above all the nations he has made, and you will be a people consecrated to the Lord, as he promised.’
 

Responsorial Psalm 118(119):1-2,4-5,7-8

They are happy who follow God’s law!
 
They are happy whose life is blameless,
  who follow God’s law!
They are happy who do his will,
  seeking him with all their hearts.
 
You have laid down your precepts
  to be obeyed with care.
May my footsteps be firm
  to obey your statutes.
 
I will thank you with an upright heart
  as I learn your decrees.
I will obey your statutes;
  do not forsake me.
 

Gospel Matthew 5:43-48

Pray for those who persecute you

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You have learnt how it was said: You must love your neighbour and hate your enemy. But I say this to you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you; in this way you will be sons of your Father in heaven, for he causes his sun to rise on bad men as well as good, and his rain to fall on honest and dishonest men alike. For if you love those who love you, what right have you to claim any credit? Even the tax collectors do as much, do they not? And if you save your greetings for your brothers, are you doing anything exceptional? Even the pagans do as much, do they not? You must therefore be perfect just as your heavenly Father is perfect.’

Reflection
Deuteronomy 26:16-19, Matthew 5:43-48

“To be perfect is to love like God”
‘You must, therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect’-We might think that Jesus is calling us to be a perfectionist who cannot accept flaws and carry high demanding expectations. God is perfect in the sense that He is love (1 John 4:16). We are called to be perfect, to be love, just as God our Father is perfect, is love.

Therefore, Jesus puts forth the challenging teaching of loving our enemies and praying for those who make our life difficult. We need to remember that love is not a feeling but an act of the will. Love implies that we will ourselves to choose to pray for the good and safety of those who hate us, to respond with kindness to those who treat us badly, to forgive those who hurt us, etc. On our own, it seems impossible to be perfect as God is, but with Him, all things are possible. In this time of prayer, let us remain in His love so that we can live this day with the power of His love in us.

Questions for reflection:
Do I yearn to be perfect as God is perfect? How can I put love into action?

27 hb Februari 2021 Hari Sabtu Minggu Prapaska Pertama

Renungan
Ulangan 26:16-19, Matius 5:43-48

“Menjadi sempurna adalah mengasihi seperti Allah”
‘Kerana itu haruslah kamu sempurna, sama seperti Bapamu yang disyurga adalah sempurna’ – Kita mungkin berfikir bahawa Yesus memanggil kita untuk menjadi seorang yang sempurna, yang tidak dapat menerima kekurangan dan membawa pengharapan yang tinggi. Tuhan itu sempurna dalam erti bahawa Dia adalah kasih (1 Yohanes 4:16). Kita dipanggil untuk menjadi sempurna, kasih, seperti Allah Bapa kita yang sempurna, adalah kasih.
Oleh itu, Yesus mengemukakan ajaran yang mencabar iaitu mengasih musuh-musuh kita dab berdoa bagi mereka yang menyukarkan hidup kita. Kita perlu ingat bahawa kasih bukanlah perasaan semata-mata tetapi tindakan dari keinginan. Kasih memerlukan kita untuk memilih berdoa untuk kebaikan dan keselamatan mereka yang membenci kita, untuk bertindak balas dengan baik bagi mereka yang memperlakukan kita dengan buruk, untuk mengampuni mereka yang telah menyakiti kita dan sebagainya. Melalui kekuatan kita sendiri, adalah mustahil untuk menjadi sempurna seperti Tuhan, namun bersama Dia, tidak ada yang mustahil. Pada saat doa ini, marilah tetap tinggal dalam kasih-Nya agar kita dapat hidup dengan kuasa cintakasihNya dalam diri kita.

Soalan renungan:
Adakah saya ingin menjadi sempurna seperti Allah yang adalah sempurna? Bagaimana saya dapat mempraktikkan cinta melalui perbuatan?
????????

Renungan
Ulang Adat 26:16-19; Matthew 5:43-48

“Nyadi Pemadu Badas enggau rindu ka Allah Taala.”
“Nya alai kita enda tau enda nyadi pemadu badas, baka Apai kita ti di serega.” Tentu kitai berunding Jesus ngasuh kitai nyadi orang ti pemadu badas, orang ti enda ulih nerima sebarang salah sereta meruan deka bulih pengadang ti badas. Allah Taala meh ti pemadu badas laban Iya meh Pengerindu (1 Kor 4:16).
Kitai dikangau awak nyadi badas, dikerindu, baka Allah Taala ti udu badas, ti rindu.

Nya kebuah,Jesus keran ngajar kitai ngambi rinduka munsuh kitai lalu besampi ka sida ti ngenusahka pengidup kitai. Kitai patut ingat ka pengerindu tu ukai semina pengasai tang pengawa ti datai ari pengingin ati. Pengerindu mai reti kitai milih deka besampi ka pemadas enggau penyelamat ka orang ti enda rindu ka kitai, malas enggau pemadas ka sida to bejaie ka kitai, ngampun sida ti ngemediska kitai sereta macam utai bukai. Enti ari kitai diri empu, sigi kitai enda ulih nyadi pemadu badas baka Allah Taala ti badas, aram kitai meruan diau dalam pengerindu Iya ngambi kitai ulih diau dalam kuasa Pengerindu Iya dalam kitai.

Bisi aku ngemeran ati deka nyadi pemadu badas baka Allah Taala ti Badas?Kati aku ulih mandangka pengerindu dalam pengidup aku?

2021年2月27日四旬期第一周星期六

省思
«申廿六:16-19»
«玛五:43-48»

” 成全–爱人如主爱我们”

“所以你们应当是成全的,如同你们的天父是成全的一样。”
从经文的叙述,我们可能以为天主要我们成为一个完美主义者,不能容忍半点瑕疵,要求甚高的天主。其实,天主是成全意思是天主是爱。(若望一书 4:16)。我们应当是成全的,应当是爱的,诚如天父是成全的,是爱的。
因此,耶稣进一步挑战我们,教导我们要爱仇人,为迫害我们的人祈祷。我们必须谨记爱不是感觉而是行动。爱,暗喻我们选择去为憎恨我们的人求平安和安好,以礼相待那恶者,原谅伤害我者等等。我们自己似乎是不可能成全如天父的,可是,在主内,一切都可能的。在今次的祈祷,让我们继续驻留在祂爱内以便今天能活在祂的大爱里。

省思题:
我向往如天父般的成全吗?我如何把爱付诸行动?
????????
