First reading Exodus 33:7-11,34:5-9,28

‘They are a headstrong people; but forgive us our faults’

Moses used to take the Tent and pitch it outside the camp, at some distance from the camp. He called it the Tent of Meeting. Anyone who had to consult the Lord would go out to the Tent of Meeting, outside the camp. Whenever Moses went out to the Tent, all the people would rise. Every man would stand at the door of his tent and watch Moses until he reached the Tent; the pillar of cloud would come down and station itself at the entrance to the Tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses. When they saw the pillar of cloud stationed at the entrance to the Tent, all the people would rise and bow low, each at the door of his tent. The Lord would speak with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would turn back to the camp, but the young man who was his servant, Joshua son of Nun, would not leave the Tent.
  And the Lord descended in the form of a cloud, and Moses stood with him there.
  He called on the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The Lord, the Lord, a God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in kindness and faithfulness; for thousands he maintains his kindness, forgives faults, transgression, sin; yet he lets nothing go unchecked, punishing the father’s fault in the sons and in the grandsons to the third and fourth generation.’ And Moses bowed down to the ground at once and worshipped. ‘If I have indeed won your favour, Lord,’ he said ‘let my Lord come with us, I beg. True, they are a headstrong people, but forgive us our faults and our sins, and adopt us as your heritage.’
  Moses stayed there with the Lord for forty days and forty nights, eating and drinking nothing. He inscribed on the tablets the words of the Covenant – the Ten Words.
 

Responsorial Psalm 102(103):6-13

The Lord is compassion and love.
 
The Lord does deeds of justice,
  gives judgement for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses
  and his deeds to Israel’s sons.
 
The Lord is compassion and love.
 
The Lord is compassion and love,
  slow to anger and rich in mercy.
His wrath will come to an end;
  he will not be angry for ever.
 
The Lord is compassion and love.
 
He does not treat us according to our sins
  nor repay us according to our faults.
For as the heavens are high above the earth
  so strong is his love for those who fear him.
 
The Lord is compassion and love.
 
As far as the east is from the west
  so far does he remove our sins.
As a father has compassion on his sons,
  the Lord has pity on those who fear him.
 
The Lord is compassion and love.
 

Gospel Matthew 13:36-43

As the darnel is gathered up and burnt, so it will be at the end of time

Leaving the crowds, Jesus went to the house; and his disciples came to him and said, ‘Explain the parable about the darnel in the field to us.’ He said in reply, ‘The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world; the good seed is the subjects of the kingdom; the darnel, the subjects of the evil one; the enemy who sowed them, the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; the reapers are the angels. Well then, just as the darnel is gathered up and burnt in the fire, so it will be at the end of time. The Son of Man will send his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that provoke offences and all who do evil, and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Then the virtuous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Listen, anyone who has ears!’

Reflection
Exodus 33:7-11; 34: 5-9, 28, Matthew 13:36-43

“The name of God is mercy”
It is not our role to judge who the good wheat is and who is the darnel. We believe that God, who loves the saints and the sinners, is the Final Judge, not us. Often, we tend to regard the loveable ones in our life as wheat and disregard those we struggle to get along with as darnel. St. Paul wrote in the letters to the Romans, “Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister” (Romans 14:13). Thus, the call for us is to put mercy, not judgment, into practice because God judges with compassion and love. “I will say this: mercy is real; it is the first attribute of God.” (Pope Francis)

We live in this field where wheat and darnel exist. Let us ask for the grace to know that though we are sinners, God loves us and sends us out to this field to be His instrument of mercy to others.

Question for reflection:
“In the evening of our life, we will be judged on love alone” (St. John of the Cross): In the context of today’s prayer, how can I strive to love by showing compassion and mercy to others?

Keluaran 33:7-11; 34: 5-9, 28, Matius 13:36-43

“Nama Tuhan adalah belas kasihan”
Menilai siapa gandum yang baik dan lalang yang buruk bukanlah tugas kita.. Kita percaya bahawa Tuhan, yang mengasihi orang kudus dan yang berdosa adalah Hakim Akhir, bukan kita. Seringkali, kita cenderung menganggap orang-orang yang kita kasihi sebagai gandum dan menolak mereka yang tidak kita senangi dan menganggap mereka sebagai lalang. St. Paulus menulis dalam Surat di Roma, “Kerana itu janganlah kita saling menghakimi lagi. Tetapi lebih baik kita jangan membuat saudara kita terjatuh atau tersandung” (Roma 14:13). Oleh kerana itu, panggilan untuk kita adalah untuk mengenakan belas kasihan, bukannya menghakimi, sebagai amalan kerana Tuhan menghakimi dengan belas kasihan dan kasih. “Aku mengatakan ini: Belas kasihan itu nyata; ia adalah sifat pertama Allah.” (Pope Francis)

Kita hidup di tempat di mana terdapat gandum dan lalang. Marilah mohon rahmat kesedaran bahawa walaupun kita berdosa, Tuhan mengasihi kita dan mengutus kita keluar untuk menjadi alat belas kasihan-Nya kepada orang lain.

Soalan renungan:
“Pada senja hari kehidupan kita, kita akan dihakimi atas dasar kasih kita” (St. Yohanes dari Salib): Dalam konteks doa hari ini, bagaimana saya dapat berusaha untuk mengasihi dengan menunjukkan belas kasihan kepada orang lain?

Pemansut 33:7-11;34:5-9,28; Matthew 13:36-43

“Nama Allah Taala nya Pengasih.”
Ukai pengawa kitai awak ngakim ni bagi gandum ka manah enggau rumput. Kitai arap ka Allah Taala ti rindu ka sida ti lurus enggau bepenyalah ti nyadi Hakim, ukai kitai. Suah kitai milih meda sida dikerindu kitai dalam pengidup nya baka gandum lalu meda sida ti tusah enggau begulai nya baka rumput. Ko Surat ti ditulis St. Paul ngagai orang ba Rome, “Nya alai, aram kitai badu agi ngakim pangan diri, tang mutus ati enggai sekali-kali ngereja utai ti tau ngasuh orang bukai tesangkut tauka bedosa.”(Rome 14:13) Nya alai kitai dikangau awak mandangka pengasih ukai ngakim laban Allah Taala ngakim ngena pengasih enggau pengerindu. “Pengasih nya amat nyata bendar, nya meh nama Allah Taala.”(Pope Francis)

Kitai diau ba umai ti bisi gandum sereta rumput sama bela tumbuh. Aram kitai minta nimet awak ulih nemu sereta mereti taja kitai tu orang ti bepenyalah, Allah Taala rinduka kitai sereta ngirum kitai ari umai tu nyadi perengka Pengasih Iya ngagai orang bukai.

Dalam pengujung pengidup kitai, kitai deka di pechara atas pengerindu aja” (St. John ari Regang): kati aku ulih mandangka pengerindu sereta pengasih ngagai orang bukai saritu?

《玛十三:36-43》

“天主的名是怜悯”
我们的角色不是判定谁是良好的麦子,以及谁是莠子。我们相信天主,祂钟爱圣洁者,也钟爱犯罪者,祂是终极的审判者,不是我们。很多时候,我们倾向于关注生命中挚爱的人,把他们认定为麦子;同时漠视那些我们难以相处的人们,把他们看待为莠子。圣保禄在致罗马人的书信中有写到,“因此,我们不可再彼此判断了。反之,你们应拿定主意:总不可使弟兄失足或跌倒”(《罗十四:13》)。因此,我们领受的召唤是把怜悯付诸于行动,而不是判定,因为天主是以怜悯及慈爱来做出审判的。“我将会这么说道:怜悯是真实的;这是天主最主要的属性”(教宗方济各)。

我们活在麦子和莠子同时存在的场所。让我们寻求恩宠,好使得我们知道自己虽是犯罪者,天主钟爱我们,及派遣我们离开这场所,向众人展示我们是天主怜悯的器皿。

省思题:
“当我们抵达生命的黄昏时,我们将纯粹地藉由爱而被审判”(十字架的圣若望):在今天的祈祷范畴内,我怎样能够向众人显示同情心及怜悯而努力付出爱呢?
