First reading Genesis 46:1-7,28-30 

‘I can die, now that I have seen you alive’

Israel left Canaan with his possessions, and reached Beersheba. There he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. God spoke to Israel in a vision at night, ‘Jacob, Jacob’, he said. ‘I am here’, he replied. ‘I am God, the God of your father’, he continued. ‘Do not be afraid of going down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there. I myself will go down to Egypt with you. I myself will bring you back again, and Joseph’s hand shall close your eyes.’ Then Jacob left Beersheba. Israel’s sons conveyed their father Jacob, their little children and their wives in the waggons Pharaoh had sent to fetch him.
  Taking their livestock and all that they had acquired in the land of Canaan, they went to Egypt, Jacob and all his family with him: his sons and his grandsons, his daughters and his grand-daughters, in a word, all his children he took with him to Egypt.
  Israel sent Judah ahead to Joseph, so that the latter might present himself to him in Goshen. When they arrived in the land of Goshen, Joseph had his chariot made ready and went up to meet his father Israel in Goshen. As soon as he appeared he threw his arms round his neck and for a long time wept on his shoulder. Israel said to Joseph, ‘Now I can die, now that I have seen you again, and seen you still alive.’
 

Responsorial Psalm 36(37):3-4,18-19,27-28,39-40

The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
 
If you trust in the Lord and do good,
  then you will live in the land and be secure.
If you find your delight in the Lord,
  he will grant your heart’s desire.
 
The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
 
He protects the lives of the upright,
  their heritage will last for ever.
They shall not be put to shame in evil days,
  in time of famine their food shall not fail.
 
The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
 
Then turn away from evil and do good
  and you shall have a home for ever;
for the Lord loves justice
  and will never forsake his friends.
 
The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
 
The salvation of the just comes from the Lord,
  their stronghold in time of distress.
The Lord helps them and delivers them
  and saves them: for their refuge is in him.
 
The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
 

Gospel Matthew 10:16-23

The Spirit of your Father will be speaking in you

Jesus instructed the Twelve as follows: ‘Remember, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be cunning as serpents and yet as harmless as doves.
  ‘Beware of men: they will hand you over to sanhedrins and scourge you in their synagogues. You will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the pagans. But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to speak or what to say; what you are to say will be given to you when the time comes; because it is not you who will be speaking; the Spirit of your Father will be speaking in you. ‘Brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all men on account of my name; but the man who stands firm to the end will be saved. If they persecute you in one town, take refuge in the next; and if they persecute you in that, take refuge in another. I tell you solemnly, you will not have gone the round of the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.’

Reflection
Genesis 46:1-7; 28-30, Matthew 10:16-23

“Courageous sheep among wolves”
To be Jesus’ disciple and live out the gospel values in a pluralistic society is not an easy task. It is often easier to keep our head down and blend into our surroundings to not stick out like a sore thumb. However, as Christians, we are meant to go against the current to offer the Good News of Jesus to others. We are called to work for social justice, have a say in racial discrimination, be in solidarity with the poor and the weak, etc. Today, the gospel passage calls us to be courageous in the living of our faith in Jesus and His values of love, compassion, honesty, and justice.

Listen to Jesus as He invites us to be sheep among wolves. It is not for us to be lost sheep but sheep who follow Him, the Good Shepherd. Jesus, our Shepherd, walks with us and guides us as we walk on in this path to be His living presence in this world. Let us keep our eyes on Him!

Question for reflection:
Am I willing to face opposition and hostility in following you?
?????????

(Versi BM)

Kejadian 46:1-7; 28-30, Matius 10:16-23

“Domba berani di antara serigala”
Menjadi murid Yesus dan menghayati nilai-nilai injil dalam masyarakat majmuk bukanlah tugas yang mudah. Selalunya lebih mudah untuk menundukkan kepala dan tidak melibatkan diri agar tidak terlalu menonjol. Namun, sebagai orang-orang Kristian, kita seharusnya melawan arus untuk mewartakan Khabar Baik Yesus kepada orang lain. Kita dipanggil untuk bekerja demi keadilan sosial, bersuara ketika berhadapan dengan diskirminasi kaum, bersolidariti dengan orang-orang miskin dan lemah dan sebagainya. Injil hari ini memanggil kita untuk berani dalam menghidupi iman kita kepada Yesus dan nilai-nilaiNya iaitu kasih, belas kasihan, kejujuran dan keadilan.

Dengarkan Yesus ketika Dia menjemput kita menjadi domba di antara serigala. Bukan bermaksud menjadi domba yang hilang tetapi menjadi domba yang mengikuti Dia, Gembala Baik. Yesus, Gembala kita berjalan bersama kita dan memimpin kita untuk menjadi kehadiranNya yang hidup di dunia ini. Marilah terus memperhatikanNya!

Soalan renungan:
Adakah saya bersedia tomenghadapi tentangan dan permusuhan dalam mengikuti Yesus?

*Kasaukan 46:1-7, 28-30; Matius 10:16-23*

Renungan
Pemungkal 46:1-7;28-30; Matthew 10:16-23

“Domba ti berani ba tengah-tengah serigala.”
Nyadi Murid Jesus sereta diau nitih ka ajar Injil ba gerempong pendiau pupu raban bangsa ukai pengawa ti mudah dikereja. Kitai tentu milih enggai tampak ba bala mayuh. Taja pia, kitai orang Kristian dikangau awak enda nitih churak dunya sereta besedia bekunsi Berita Manah Jesus ngagai orang bukai. Kitai dikangau awak niri ka pengelurus sosial, nulak sebarang penyarut bansa, beserakup enggau sida ti seranta sereta lemi. Saritu, bacha Injil ngangau kitai awak berani diau mandangka pengarap kitai dalam Jesus sereta ajar pengerindu, pengasih, pengelurus sereta pemendar Iya.

Dinga ka Jesus lebuh Iya ngangau kitai nyadi domba ba tengah-tengah serigala. Kitai ukai nyadi domba ti tesat tang domba ti nitih ka Iya, Pengibun Bedus ti Badas. Jesus Pengibun kitai, bejalai sertai kitai sereta ngiring kitai ba rantau pejalai pengidup nyadi tanda Iya ti Idup ba dunya tu. Aram kitai nguing ngagai Iya!

Bisi aku nyangup diri bedepan enggau penanggol sereta penusah lebuh nitih ka Nuan?

省思
«创四十六:1-7,28-30»
«玛十:16-23»

” 狼群中勇敢的羊”
身为主耶稣的门徒,要在多元化的社会里活出福音的价值观实在不是一件容易的事。
两者哪个较容易?是融入当时的社会潮流还是标新立异呢?然而,身为基督徒,我们就是必须与时代对立,把喜讯传于他人。我们被召叫去维护社会正义,在种族歧视下,拥有发言权,与穷人及弱者同站一阵线等等。今天的福音,呼吁我们勇敢地活出对耶稣的信德及祂的价值观。即是爱、怜悯、诚实和正义。
当主要把我们置于狼群中时,仔细聆听祂的话。祂不是要我们成为迷失的羔羊。他要我们跟随祂,一个善牧。耶稣,我们的善牧,与我们同行,并且指引我们走向祂的道路。我们将成为他世上的器皿。让我们心无旁骛,常紧盯着祂!

省思题:
当我跟随你时,我是否情愿面对反对且含敌意的声音呢?
