First reading 1 John 3:22-4:6

The Son of God has come and given us the power to know the true God

Whatever we ask God,
we shall receive,
because we keep his commandments
and live the kind of life that he wants.
His commandments are these:
that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ
and that we love one another
as he told us to.
Whoever keeps his commandments
lives in God and God lives in him.
We know that he lives in us
by the Spirit that he has given us.
 
It is not every spirit, my dear people, that you can trust;
test them, to see if they come from God,
there are many false prophets, now, in the world.
You can tell the spirits that come from God by this:
every spirit which acknowledges that Jesus the Christ has come in the flesh
is from God;
but any spirit which will not say this of Jesus
is not from God,
but is the spirit of Antichrist,
whose coming you were warned about.
Well, now he is here, in the world.
 
Children,
you have already overcome these false prophets,
because you are from God and you have in you
one who is greater than anyone in this world;
as for them, they are of the world,
and so they speak the language of the world
and the world listens to them.
But we are children of God,
and those who know God listen to us;
those who are not of God refuse to listen to us.
This is how we can tell
the spirit of truth from the spirit of falsehood.
 

Responsorial Psalm 2:7-8,10-11

I will give you the nations for your heritage.
 
The Lord said to me: ‘You are my Son.
  It is I who have begotten you this day.
Ask and I shall bequeath you the nations,
  put the ends of the earth in your possession.’
 
Now, O kings, understand,
  take warning, rulers of the earth;
serve the Lord with awe
  and trembling, pay him your homage.
 

Gospel Matthew 4:12-17,23-25

The people that lived in darkness have seen a great light

Hearing that John had been arrested, Jesus went back to Galilee, and leaving Nazareth he went and settled in Capernaum, a lakeside town on the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali. In this way the prophecy of Isaiah was to be fulfilled:
 
‘Land of Zebulun! Land of Naphtali!
Way of the sea on the far side of Jordan,
Galilee of the nations!
The people that lived in darkness has seen a great light;
on those who dwell in the land and shadow of death
a light has dawned.’
 
From that moment Jesus began his preaching with the message, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.’
  He went round the whole of Galilee teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the kingdom and curing all kinds of diseases and sickness among the people. His fame spread throughout Syria, and those who were suffering from diseases and painful complaints of one kind or another, the possessed, epileptics, the paralysed, were all brought to him, and he cured them. Large crowds followed him, coming from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judaea and Transjordania.

Reflection
1 John 3:22-4:6; Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25

“A light that shines”
“The people that lived in darkness have seen a great light”. In the Gospel today, Jesus left the security of Nazareth and ventured to Capernaum. He started preaching the Good News of God’s love, healing the sick, offering friendship to the outcasts, etc. Through His compassion and love, He revealed the true face of God. Thus, through His words and actions, Jesus became the light of hope to the people. Today, Jesus calls us too to dare to leave our “Nazareth”, our comfort zones and venture out to become the light of hope as we offer the Good News of God’s love to others. But first, we need to embrace Jesus as our Light that enlightens our life. United with Jesus, we can then become light for others.

Question for reflection:
How can I, through my words and actions, become a light that shines the way for others to encounter Christ?

4 hb Januari 2021 Hari Isnin – Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton

Renungan
1 Yohanes 3:22-4:6; Matius 4:12-17, 23-25

“Terang yang bersinar”

“Bangsa yang diam dalam kegelapan telah melihat terang besar”. Dalam Injil hari ini, Yesus meninggalkan Nazaret dan memasuki Kapernaum. Dia mula mewartakan Khabar Gembira akan kasih Allah, menyembuhkan yang sakit, memberika persahabatan kepada orang-orang terbuang dan sebagainya. Melalui belas kasihan dan cintakasih-Nya, Yesus menunjukkan wajah Allah yang sebenarnya. Oleh itu melalui perkataan dan perbuatanNya, Yesus telah menjadi terang harapan kepada ramai orang.
Hari ini Yesus juga memanggil kita untuk meninggalkan “Nazaret” kita, tempat selesa kita dan berusaha untuk menjadi cahaya harapan ketika kita mewartakan Khabar Gembira akan kasih Tuhan kepada orang lain. Namun, pertama-tama kita harus menerima Yesus sebagai Terang yang menerangi kehidupan kita. Dengan bersatu bersama Yesus, kita kemudian dapat menjadi terang bagi orang lain.

Soalan renungan:
Bagaimana saya dapat menjadi terang yang menyinari jalan untuk orang lain, agar mereka dapat bertemu dengan Kristus?

Renungan
1 John 3:22-4:6; Matthew 4:12-17,23-15

“Penampak ti manchar.”
“Orang ke diau dalam petang udah meda penampak ti besai.” Ba bacha Injil saritu, Jesus ninggal ka Nazareth lalu bejalai ngagai Kapernaum. Iya bepun nusi pasal Berita Manah pengerindu Allah Taala, nyaman sida ti sakit, bekaban enggau sida ti kena buai lalu ngereja kereja badas bukai. Nengah penyiru enggau pengerindu Iya, Iya mandangka gamal amat Allah Taala. Ari nya, Jako enggau pengawa Iya nyadi penampak ti mai pengandal ka mensia mayuh.

Saritu, kitai mega dipinta ninggal ka “Nazareth”, palan endur kitai berasai lantang tolalu bejalai nyadi penampak ti mai pengandal lebuh kitai nusi Berita Manah pengerindu Allah Taala ka orang bukai.

Tang keterubah nya, kitai patut nerima Jesus nyadi penampak ti manchar atas kitai. Besatup enggau Jesus, kitai nyadi penampak ka orang bukai.

Kati aku ulih nyadi penampak ti manchar atas orang bukai awak sida mega ngelala Kristus nengah jako enggau pengawa aku?

2021年1月4日 圣诞期第二周星期一

省思
《若壹三:22-四:6》
《玛四:12-17,23-25》

“一道皓光”

“生活在黑暗中的人们看见了一道皓光”。今天的福音里,耶稣离开了安全的纳匝肋及冒险来到了葛法翁。祂开始宣扬天主爱的喜讯、治愈受疾病的人、为边缘群体献出友谊等。通过祂的怜悯和爱,祂显示了天主真正的面貌。因此,通过祂的言行,耶稣成了人们的希望之光。

今天,耶稣召唤我们勇于离开我们的“纳匝肋”——我们的舒适圈,以及冒着风险地向众人献上天主爱的喜讯,进而成为希望之光。但是,我们需要首先拥护耶稣为照亮我们生命的光源。与耶稣合而为一,我们接着就能成为众人之光了。

省思题:
我怎样能够,通过言行,成为照亮众人邂逅基督道路上的光源呢???????????
