First reading Genesis 32:23-33

Jacob wrestles with God

Jacob rose, and taking his two wives and his two slave-girls and his eleven children he crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream and sent all his possessions over too. And Jacob was left alone.
  And there was one that wrestled with him until daybreak who, seeing that he could not master him, struck him in the socket of his hip, and Jacob’s hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him. He said, ‘Let me go, for day is breaking.’ But Jacob answered, ‘I will not let you go unless you bless me.’ He then asked, ‘What is your name?’ ‘Jacob’, he replied. He said, ‘Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have been strong against God, you shall prevail against men.’ Jacob then made this request, ‘I beg you, tell me your name’, but he replied, ‘Why do you ask my name?’ And he blessed him there.
  Jacob named the place Peniel, ‘Because I have seen God face to face,’ he said ‘and I have survived.’ The sun rose as he left Peniel, limping because of his hip. That is the reason why to this day the Israelites do not eat the sciatic nerve which is in the socket of the hip; because he had struck Jacob in the socket of the hip on the sciatic nerve.
 

Responsorial Psalm 16(17):1-3,6-8 

Lord, in my justice I shall see your face.
 
Lord, hear a cause that is just,
  pay heed to my cry.
Turn your ear to my prayer:
  no deceit is on my lips.
 
Lord, in my justice I shall see your face.
 
From you may my judgement come forth.
  Your eyes discern the truth.
You search my heart, you visit me by night.
  You test me and you find in me no wrong.
 
Lord, in my justice I shall see your face.
 
I am here and I call, you will hear me, O God.
  Turn your ear to me; hear my words.
Display your great love, you whose right hand saves
  your friends from those who rebel against them.
 
Lord, in my justice I shall see your face.
 
Guard me as the apple of your eye.
  Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
In my justice I shall see your face
  and be filled, when I awake, with the sight of your glory.
 
Lord, in my justice I shall see your face.
 

Gospel Matthew 9:32-37

The harvest is rich but the labourers are few

A man was brought to Jesus, a dumb demoniac. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke and the people were amazed. ‘Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel’ they said. But the Pharisees said, ‘It is through the prince of devils that he casts out devils.’
  Jesus made a tour through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the kingdom and curing all kinds of diseases and sickness.
  And when he saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest.’

Reflection
Genesis 32:23-33, Matthew 9: 32-38

“To labour alongside Jesus”
Jesus never stopped working for the good and the well-being of others. He constantly placed Himself at the service of the people who needed Him. In today’s passage, Jesus healed a dumb person and went around the towns and villages to teach and proclaim the Good news and heal
more people with all kinds of illness. He worked with His heart that was constantly filled with compassion for the people. Today, Jesus wants us, His disciples, to work with Him by placing our talents and gifts in the service of the people. Are we generous in giving our “Yes” to God?

In the same passage, we also see two kinds of responses to Jesus’ good work . The Pharisees dismissed Jesus and His work while the people saw God’s presence and work in Jesus. Today, we are also invited to be quick to see the presence of God around us, especially in the good and loving work that others do.

Question for reflection:
What is Jesus inviting me to put into practice today?
?????????

Renungan
Kejadian 32:23-33, Matius 9: 32-38

“Bekerja bersama dengan Yesus”
Yesus tidak pernah berhenti bekerja demi kebaikan dan kesejahteraan orang lain. Dia terus menerus meletakkan diriNya untuk melayani orang-orang yang memerlukanNya. Dalam petikan hari ini, Yesus menyembuhkan orang bisu dan berkeliling kota dan desa untuk mengajar dan mewartakan Khabar Gembira dan menyembuhkan banyak orang dengan segala penyakit. Dia bekerja dengan hatiNya yang sentiasa dipenuhi dengan belas kasihan kepada orang lain. Hari ini Yesus ingin agar kita, pengikut-pengikutNya bekerja bersamaNya dengan menggunakan semua bakat dan karunia kita untuk melayani orang lain. Adakah kita bermurah hati memberikan jawapan “Ya” kita kepada Tuhan?

Dalam petikan yang sama, kita juga melihat dua bentuk tindak balas terhadap pekerjaan baik Yesus. Orang-orang Farisi menolak Yesus dan pekerjaanNya sementara orang banyak melihat bahawa Tuhan hadir dan bekerja di dalam Yesus. Hari ini, kita juga dijemput untuk melihat kehadiran Tuhan di sekeliling kita, terutama sekali dalam pekerjaan baik dan penuh kasih yang dilakukan oleh orang lain.

Soalan renungan:
Apakah jemputan Yesus untuk saya praktikkan hari ini?
?????????

*Kasaukan 32:23-33; Matius 9:32-38*

Renungan
Pemungkal 32:23-33; Matthew 9:32-38

“Gawa begulai enggau Jesus.’’
Jesus enda kala badu gawa mai pemadas sereta pemanah ke orang bukai. Iya seruran magi Diri awak mela orang ti datai ngagai Iya minta saup. Dalam bacha saritu, Jesus nyaman ka orang ke bisu sereta bejalai ngagai semua negeri enggau genturung pendiau ngajar sereta nusui berita manah enggau nyuman mayuh orang ari macam leman sereta penyakit. Iya gawa enggau ati Iya ti bepengasih ke semua orang. Saritu, Jesus deka kitai ti Murid Iya gawa sertai Iya ngena penau enggau pemeri kitai dikena mela orang bukai. Bisi kenya kitai nyangup diri ke Allah Taala?

Ba bagi genteran bacha ke sama, kitai ulih meda dua bagi saut ke pengawa badas Jesus. Orang Parisi nulak Jesus enggau kereja Iya tang mensia mayuh meda Allah Taala enggau sida lalu gawa dalam Jesus. Saritu, kitai dikangau awak meda Allah Taala ti sertai kitai, kelebih agi dalam pengawa badas sereta bepengerindu dikereja orang bukai.

Nama kangau Jesus ke aku awak ulih dikereja aku saritu?

省思
《创卅二:23-33》
《玛九:32-38》

“与耶稣同工”

耶稣从来没有停止为他人的好和幸福服务。祂时常为需要的人服务。今天的福音里,耶稣医治了一位哑巴人士并且在走遍各城各村,在他們的会堂教导人,宣讲天国的福音,治愈各种殘疾病痛。每当祂看见百姓,便很怜悯他们。今天,耶稣要我们,祂的门徒,同祂一起把我们的长处和特长服务人群。我们是否很慷慨的对天主说:”愿意”?
在同个福音里,我们也看到对天主的两种回应 。法利塞人拒绝耶稣和祂的工作但是有人们却看到天主的存在并且与他同工。今天我们也被邀请快速的在四周观看天主,尤其是当他人做好事时。

省思题:
耶稣今天邀请我做什么?
