First reading 2 Corinthians 3:15-4:1,3-6

The veil over their eyes will not be removed until they turn to the Lord

Even today, whenever Moses is read, the veil is over their minds. It will not be removed until they turn to the Lord. Now this Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, with our unveiled faces reflecting like mirrors the brightness of the Lord, all grow brighter and brighter as we are turned into the image that we reflect; this is the work of the Lord who is Spirit.

Since we have by an act of mercy been entrusted with this work of administration, there is no weakening on our part. If our gospel does not penetrate the veil, then the veil is on those who are not on the way to salvation; the unbelievers whose minds the god of this world has blinded, to stop them seeing the light shed by the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For it is not ourselves that we are preaching, but Christ Jesus as the Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. It is the same God that said, ‘Let there be light shining out of darkness’, who has shone in our minds to radiate the light of the knowledge of God’s glory, the glory on the face of Christ.

Responsorial Psalm 84(85):9-14(Thu10)

The glory of the Lord will dwell in our land.

I will hear what the Lord God has to say,

a voice that speaks of peace.

His help is near for those who fear him

and his glory will dwell in our land.

The glory of the Lord will dwell in our land.

Mercy and faithfulness have met;

justice and peace have embraced.

Faithfulness shall spring from the earth

and justice look down from heaven.

The glory of the Lord will dwell in our land.

The Lord will make us prosper

and our earth shall yield its fruit.

Justice shall march before him

and peace shall follow his steps.

The glory of the Lord will dwell in our land.

Gospel Matthew 5:20-26

Anyone who is angry with his brother will answer for it

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘If your virtue goes no deeper than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven.

‘You have learnt how it was said to our ancestors: You must not kill; and if anyone does kill he must answer for it before the court. But I say this to you: anyone who is angry with his brother will answer for it before the court; if a man calls his brother “Fool” he will answer for it before the Sanhedrin; and if a man calls him “Renegade” he will answer for it in hell fire. So then, if you are bringing your offering to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar, go and be reconciled with your brother first, and then come back and present your offering. Come to terms with your opponent in good time while you are still on the way to the court with him, or he may hand you over to the judge and the judge to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison. I tell you solemnly, you will not get out till you have paid the last penny.’

Reflection
2 Corinthians 3:15-4:1,3-6, Matthew 5:20-26

“Jesus’ way of love: Reconciliation”
In today’s gospel, Jesus demands from us a new way of love that goes out to work for reconciliation. The challenge is for us to take the step to go to that brother or sister who has something against us, and to go and make peace! After that, then we go and worship God with a clean and peaceful heart.

As we read the gospel today, let us ask ourselves: What is the point of presenting our offerings to God with all piousness but harbour hatred against a brother/sister and distance ourselves away from him/her? For Jesus, what is essential is that we do all that we can to build right and loving relationships with others. It is not easy based on our human strength, but we can love others and work for reconciliation only when our hearts are daily and constantly filled with God’s merciful and faithful love.

Question for reflection:
Is there someone with whom I need to build a right and loving relationship?

Renungan
2 Korintus 3:15-4:1,3-6, Matius 5:20-26

“Jalan cintakasih Yesus: Pengampunan”
Dalam injil hari ini Yesus menuntut kepada kita cara mengasihi yang baru iaitu bekerja untuk pengampunan. Cabarannya adalah bagi kita untuk mengambil langkah untuk pergi kepada saudara dan saudari kita yang menentang kita, dan berdamai dengan mereka. Setelah itu, kita dapat pergi dan menyembah Tuhan dengan hati yang bersih dan damai.

Ketika kita membaca injil hari ini, marilah bertanya kepada diri kita sendiri: Apa gunanya mempersembahkan persembahan kepada Tuhan dengan penuh kesal namun membenci saudara saudari kita dan menjauhkan diri dari mereka? Bagi Yesus, perkara yang sangat penting adalah kita dapat melakukan semua yang kita mampu untuk membentuk hubungan yang benar dan penuh cintakasih bersama dengan sesama. Bukan mudah melakukannya dengan bersandar kepada kekuatan manusiawi kita. Namun, kita boleh mengasihi orang lain dan bekerja untuk perdamaian hanya apabila hati kita dipenuhi dengan belas kasihan dan kasih setia Tuhan setiap hari.

Soalan renungan:
Adakah seseorang yang perlu saya bina kembali hubungan dengan kasih dan kebenaran?

2 Kor 3:15-4:1,3-6; Matthew 5:20-26

“Jalai Jesus rindu:Bebaik.”
Dalam bacha Injil saritu, Jesus nekan ke kitai jalai rindu dalam gawa mai orang bebaik. Kitai tentu ngasai kakang ati deka mansang ngagai orang ti besalah ngagai kitai lalu bebaik baru enggau orang nya! Belabuh ari bebaik nya,dia kitai ulih nyembah Allah Taala enggau ati ti tuchi.

Lebuh kitai macha Injil saritu, aram kitai mansik diri empu: nama tuju aku nyembah piring ke Allah Taala enggau pengabis ati tang agi enda rindu ka orang sereta nyerara diri? Bagi Jesus, kitai patut ngereja seulih-ulih kitai niri ka pengelurus sereta kaul pengerindu enggau orang bukai. Sigi enda mudah laban pengelemi kitai mensia, tang kitai ulih rindu ka orang bukai sereta gawa awak bebaik enggau orang bukai enti ati kitai seruran di iri ulih pengasih enggau penalol pengerindu Allah Taala.

Bisi kenya orang ti patut endur aku niri ka utai ti lurus sereta kaul pengerindu?

省思
«格后三:15-四:1,3-6»
«玛五:20-26»

” 耶稣爱的方式：和解”
在今天的福音中，耶稣向我们要求一种新的爱方式就是出去和解。这为我们是挑战，我们要出去找和我们敌对的兄弟姐妹，然后与他们讲和 ! 在那之后，我们才有圣洁和平安的心敬拜天主。

今天当我们阅读福音时，让我们自问：这又有何意义当我们虔诚地向天主献祭，但是对兄弟姐妹却怀有仇恨的心，使自己与他/她远离呢 ? 为了耶稣，最重要的是我们尽一切努力与他人建立正确和爱的人际关系。基于我们人的力量，这并不容易，但是当我们的心每天和不断的充满着天主的仁慈和忠诚的爱时，我们也可以爱别人和与他们和解。

省思题：
我需要与谁建立正确和友爱的关系?
