First reading 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

How we prove that we are God’s servants

As his fellow workers, we beg you once again not to neglect the grace of God that you have received. For he says: At the favourable time, I have listened to you; on the day of salvation I came to your help. Well, now is the favourable time; this is the day of salvation.
  We do nothing that people might object to, so as not to bring discredit on our function as God’s servants. Instead, we prove we are servants of God by great fortitude in times of suffering: in times of hardship and distress; when we are flogged, or sent to prison, or mobbed; labouring, sleepless, starving. We prove we are God’s servants by our purity, knowledge, patience and kindness; by a spirit of holiness, by a love free from affectation; by the word of truth and by the power of God; by being armed with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left, prepared for honour or disgrace, for blame or praise; taken for impostors while we are genuine; obscure yet famous; said to be dying and here are we alive; rumoured to be executed before we are sentenced; thought most miserable and yet we are always rejoicing; taken for paupers though we make others rich, for people having nothing though we have everything.
 

Responsorial Psalm 97(98):1-4

The Lord has made known his salvation.
 
Sing a new song to the Lord
  for he has worked wonders.
His right hand and his holy arm
  have brought salvation.
 
The Lord has made known his salvation.
 
The Lord has made known his salvation;
  has shown his justice to the nations.
He has remembered his truth and love
  for the house of Israel.
 
The Lord has made known his salvation.
 
All the ends of the earth have seen
  the salvation of our God.
Shout to the Lord, all the earth,
  ring out your joy.
 
The Lord has made known his salvation.
 

Gospel Matthew 5:38-42

Offer the wicked man no resistance

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You have learnt how it was said: Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. But I say this to you: offer the wicked man no resistance. On the contrary, if anyone hits you on the right cheek, offer him the other as well; if a man takes you to law and would have your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone orders you to go one mile, go two miles with him. Give to anyone who asks, and if anyone wants to borrow, do not turn away.’

Reflection
2 Corinthians 6:1-10, Matthew 5:38-42

“To fight wickedness with love”
In today’s gospel, Jesus’ words go against human logic and the ways of the world. He speaks of overcoming wickedness with good. Thus, as His disciples, this is the way of love, non-violence and peace that we are called to walk.

It is neither easy to offer the wicked no resistance but to turn the other cheek. Often, we look at the world and we see that violence begets violence. Yet, it is an act of greater courage to do the unexpected thing of responding to wickedness with good. One clear thing is that Jesus is not asking us to be submissive and passive in face of injustices. In the gospels, we see Jesus constantly standing up for what is right but He did so without the use of arms or violence. Today, let us go to Jesus with open hands and ask Him to give us His strength and courage as well as to inspire us to fight for what is right, but without causing violence and harm to others but to overcome wickedness with good.

Question for reflection:
What strikes me as I reflect on these words of Jesus in today’s gospel?

14 hb Jun 2021 Hari Isnin Minggu Biasa Ke – 11

Renungan
2 Korintus 6:1-10, Matius 5:38-42

“Menentang kejahatan dengan kasih”
Dalam injil hari ini perkataan Yesus bertentangan dengan logik manusia dan cara dunia ini. Yesus berbicara tentang menentang kejahatan dengan kebaikan. Oleh itu, sebagai pengikut-pengikutNya, inilah cara kasih, tanpa kekerasan dan kedamaian yang harus kita jalani.

Tidak mudah untuk tidak menentang orang yang jahat. Seringkali kita melihat dunia dan melihat bahawa kejahatan dibalas dengan kejahatan. Namun, memberi respon kepada kejahatan dengan kebaikan adalah tindakan keberanian yang lebih besar. Satu perkara yang jelas adalah, Yesus tidak meminta kita untuk tunduk dan pasif ketika berhadapan dengan ketidakadilan. Di dalam injil, kita melihat Yesus yang sentiasa membela yang benar namun melakukannya tanpa menggunakan kekerasan. Hari ini, marilah datang kepada Yesus dengan tangan terbuka dan mohon kepadaNya untuk memberikan kekuatan dan keberanianNya serta memberi inspirasi kepada kita untuk memperjuangkan apa yang benar, tanpa menggunakan kekerasan yang mencederakan orang lain tetapi menentang kejahatan dengan melakukan kebaikan.

Soalan renungan:
Ketika merenungkan perkataan Yesus melalui injil hari ini, apakah yang menarik perhatian saya?

Ngelaban penyai ngena pengerindu.

Ba dalam Injil, kitai meda Jesus seruran ngenan ka utai ti betol tang Iya nadai ngena jalai ti jai tauka nyerang. Saritu, aram meh kitai datai ngagai Jesus enggau jari ti tebuka lalu minta Iya meri kitai pengering enggau pemerani sereta pemeransang runding dikena kitai niri ka utai ti betol, lalu enda mai penyai tauka ngemedis ka orang bukai lalu ngalah ka penyai ngena pemadas.

2021年6月14日常年期第十一周单数年星期一

省思
«格后六:1-10»
«玛五:38-42»

” 以爱对抗邪恶”
在今天的福音中,耶稣的话语违背了人的逻辑和世界的方式。祂所说的就是以善战胜邪恶。 因此 , 作为祂的门徒,就是爱的方式,没有暴力,只有和平的方式。这就是我们被召叫的生活方式。

这并不容易当有人掌擊你的右頰,你把另一面也轉給他脸颊。 通常,我们所看到的世界是暴力会滋生暴力。然而,以爱来回应邪恶是需要拥有巨大的勇气。 一个明显的事实耶稣是不要求我们在不公义的面前顺从和被动。 在福音的章节里,我们看到耶稣不断为正义挺身而出,但祂这样做没有使用武器或暴力。 今天,让我们一起走向耶稣,并伸开双手要求祂给我们祂的力量和勇气,以及激励我们为正义而战,但不引起暴力和对他人有害,但是要以善来克服邪恶。

省思题:
当我反省今天福音中的耶稣话语时,让我感动深刻的是什么?
