First reading Exodus 16:1-5,9-15

The Lord sends quails and manna from heaven

From Elim they set out, and the whole community of the sons of Israel reached the wilderness of Sin – between Elim and Sinai – on the fifteenth day of the second month after they had left Egypt. And the whole community of the sons of Israel began to complain against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness and said to them, ‘Why did we not die at the Lord’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we were able to sit down to pans of meat and could eat bread to our heart’s content! As it is, you have brought us to this wilderness to starve this whole company to death!’
  Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Now I will rain down bread for you from the heavens. Each day the people are to go out and gather the day’s portion; I propose to test them in this way to see whether they will follow my law or not. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they have brought in, this will be twice as much as the daily gathering.’
  Moses said to Aaron, ‘To the whole community of the sons of Israel say this, “Present yourselves before the Lord, for he has heard your complaints.”’ As Aaron was speaking to the whole community of the sons of Israel, they turned towards the wilderness, and there was the glory of the Lord appearing in the form of a cloud. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and said, ‘I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel. Say this to them, “Between the two evenings you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have bread to your heart’s content. Then you will learn that I, the Lord, am your God.”’ And so it came about: quails flew up in the evening, and they covered the camp; in the morning there was a coating of dew all round the camp. When the coating of dew lifted, there on the surface of the desert was a thing delicate, powdery, as fine as hoarfrost on the ground. When they saw this, the sons of Israel said to one another, ‘What is that?’ not knowing what it was. ‘That’ said Moses to them ‘is the bread the Lord gives you to eat.’
 

Responsorial Psalm 77(78):18-19,23-28

The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
 
In their heart they put God to the test
  by demanding the food they craved.
They even spoke against God.
  They said: ‘Is it possible for God
  to prepare a table in the desert?’
 
The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
 
Yet he commanded the clouds above
  and opened the gates of heaven.
He rained down manna for their food,
  and gave them bread from heaven.
 
The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
 
Mere men ate the bread of angels.
  He sent them abundance of food;
he made the east wind blow from heaven
  and roused the south wind by his might.
 
The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
 
He rained food on them like dust,
  winged fowl like the sands of the sea.
He let it fall in the midst of their camp
  and all around their tents.
 
The Lord gave them bread from heaven.
 

Gospel Matthew 13:1-9

A sower went out to sow

Jesus left the house and sat by the lakeside, but such large crowds gathered round him that he got into a boat and sat there. The people all stood on the beach, and he told them many things in parables.
  He said, ‘Imagine a sower going out to sow. As he sowed, some seeds fell on the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Others fell on patches of rock where they found little soil and sprang up straight away, because there was no depth of earth; but as soon as the sun came up they were scorched and, not having any roots, they withered away. Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Others fell on rich soil and produced their crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Listen, anyone who has ears!’

Reflection
Exodus 16:1-5, 9-15, Matthew 13:1-9

“God’s love never discriminates”
“Listen, a sower went out to sow…”. Who is this sower? Why does he sow the seed indiscriminately onto the edge of the path, the rocky soil, the thorny ground and the rich soil? Why doesn’t he simply focus on sowing his seed just onto the rich soil? God is like this sower who scatters the seed of His Word everywhere because the Good News of His love is meant for the good soil as well as the bad soil. This is how generous our God is with His love that never discriminates.

This parable also gives us hope. We too have experienced the moments when our words and acts of kindness, encouragement and love seem to have fallen into hard, stony and thorny grounds of the hearts of others. It is tempting to fall into despair. Yet, today’s gospel passage reminds us to keep hoping and keep loving. Following the Sower, we too keep speaking words of love and sowing acts of kindness to reveal the true heart of our loving God.

Question for reflection:
What is Jesus telling me through this gospel passage today?

Renungan
Keluaran 16:1-5, 9-15, Matius 13:1-9

“Kasih Tuhan tidak pernah membeza-bezakan”

“Dengarkan, ada seorang penabur keluar untuk menabur…”. Siapakah penabur tersebut? Mengapa dia menabur benih di tepi jalan, di tanah yang berbatu, tanah berduri dan tanah subur? Mengapa dia tidak fokus menabur benih hanya di tanah yang subur? Tuhan adalah seperti penabur yang menyebarkan benih Firman-Nya di mana-mana kerana Khabar Gembira akan kasih-Nya dimaksudkan untuk tanah yang baik dan juga tanah yang buruk. Beginilah kemurahan hati Allah kita dengan kasih-Nya yang tidak pernah membeza-bezakan.

Peribahasa ini juga memberi kita harapan. Kita juga mengalami peristiwa di mana kata-kata dan perbuatan baik kita, dorongan dan kasih yang kita berikan seolah-olah jatuh ke hati yang keras, berbatu dan berduri. Pengalaman ini menggoda kita untuk berputus asa. Namun, petikan injil hari ini mengingatkan kita untuk terus berharap dan mengasihi. Dengan mengikuti Penabur, kita juga mengucapkan kata-kata kasih dan menabur kebaikan untuk mengungkapkan hati sejati Allah yang pengasih.

Soalan renungan:

Apakah yang ingin disampaikan Yesus kepada saya menerusi petikan injil hari ini?

Kaingkualan 16:1-5; 9-15; Matius 13:1-9

Orou ragili niayuk i Jisus nangiruan ra baloi no, am ongoi boo ra Tasik Galilia. Panturung Io ra intok raginio am pangila’.

Renungan
Pemansut 16:1-5,9-15
Matthew 13:1-9

‘Pengerindu Allah Taala enda kala beciping.’
“Siko orang nabur ka benih…”Sapa penabur benih tu? Lapa Iya nabur sepeneka ba jalai raya, tanah ti bebatu,ba madang duri sereta ba tanah ti ami? Lapa Iya enda nabur ba tanah ti ami aja? Allah Taala baka penabur benih tu ti nabur leka Jako Iya ba serata menua laban pengerindu Iya ukai ba tanah ti ami aja tang ba tanah ti mabu mega. Tu meh pemadas Allah Taala kitai laban pengerindu Iya sigi nadai beciping.

Jako sempama tu meri kitai pengandal ati. Kitai mega kala ngasaika awak lebuh jako sereta pengawa badas kitai labuh ba tanah ti kering, bebatu sereta beduri ba ati mensia. Sigi kitai mudah alah. Tang Injil saritu ngingatka kitai awak seruran andal sereta rindu. Nitih ka Penabur Benih, kitai seruran bejako pengerindu sereta nabur pemadas ti mandangka ati amat Allah Taala kitai ti bepengerindu.

Nama utai ti deka tusi Jesus ngagai aku lebuh nengah Injil saritu?

省思
《出十六:1-5,9-15》
《玛十三:1-9》

“没有歧视的爱–天主的爱”
“看,有个撒种的出去撒种……”谁是撒种者?为何他没有选择性的撒下种子呢?有的落在路旁、石头、荆棘及沃土?为何他不焦聚在沃土而已呢?天主就是这位撒种者。祂把圣言撒在每个角落,因为他的好消息是属于肥沃的土壤,也属于贫瘠的土壤。这就是我们的天主之爱,既慷慨又无私。
今天的比喻也是一种希望。我们的言语和举动如仁慈、勇气、爱都似乎曾经掉入那心如铁石的人身上。这是多让人绝望的试探!然而,今天的福音提醒我们继续怀有希望,继续去爱。仿效撒种者,我们撒下爱的言语,体现仁爱的举止,让天主的真爱显杨出来。

省思题:
今天的福音,天主告诉我什么了?
