First reading 2 Corinthians 9:6-11

There is no limit to the blessings which God can send you

Do not forget: thin sowing means thin reaping; the more you sow, the more you reap. Each one should give what he has decided in his own mind, not grudgingly or because he is made to, for God loves a cheerful giver. And there is no limit to the blessings which God can send you – he will make sure that you will always have all you need for yourselves in every possible circumstance, and still have something to spare for all sorts of good works. As scripture says: He was free in almsgiving, and gave to the poor: his good deeds will never be forgotten.
  The one who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide you with all the seed you want and make the harvest of your good deeds a larger one, and, made richer in every way, you will be able to do all the generous things which, through us, are the cause of thanksgiving to God.
 

Responsorial Psalm 111(112):1-4,9

Happy the man who fears the Lord.
or
Alleluia!
 
Happy the man who fears the Lord,
  who takes delight in all his commands.
His sons will be powerful on earth;
  the children of the upright are blessed.
 
Happy the man who fears the Lord.
or
Alleluia!
 
Riches and wealth are in his house;
  his justice stands firm for ever.
He is a light in the darkness for the upright:
  he is generous, merciful and just.
 
Happy the man who fears the Lord.
or
Alleluia!
 
Open-handed, he gives to the poor;
  his justice stands firm for ever.
  His head will be raised in glory.
 
Happy the man who fears the Lord.
or
Alleluia!
 

Gospel Matthew 6:1-6,16-18

Your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Be careful not to parade your good deeds before men to attract their notice; by doing this you will lose all reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win men’s admiration. I tell you solemnly, they have had their reward. But when you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right is doing; your almsgiving must be secret, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.
  ‘And when you pray, do not imitate the hypocrites: they love to say their prayers standing up in the synagogues and at the street corners for people to see them; I tell you solemnly, they have had their reward. But when you pray, go to your private room and, when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.
  ‘When you fast do not put on a gloomy look as the hypocrites do: they pull long faces to let men know they are fasting. I tell you solemnly, they have had their reward. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that no one will know you are fasting except your Father who sees all that is done in secret; and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.’

16th June 2021 Tuesday 11th Week of Ordinary Time

Reflection
2 Corinthians 9:6-11, Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18

“Whatever I do, I do for the glory of God”
Today, Jesus challenges us to reflect on the motivation behind why we do what we do. ‘Be careful not to parade your uprightness in public to attract attention’: Our good works of doing works of charity, our prayer life as well as our fasting that we do can sometimes be motivated by selfishness and pride. We live our Christian faith publicly because, within our hearts, we want to attract attention to ourselves and to get admiration and praise from others.

Once again, Jesus wants us to be different from the ways of the world. Our society values outward appearance and we tend to be caught up with the need to publicise our lives on social media to draw attention to ourselves. Let us serve and love others with the motivation to draw others to God, not to ourselves. We are content when God our Father who “sees all in secret” will reward us with His faithful and everlasting love.

Question for reflection:
What motivates me to volunteer my time in the parish, to serve the poor, to help those in need, to spend time to pray, etc?

16 hb Jun 2021 Hari Rabu Minggu Biasa Ke – 11

Renungan
2 Korintus 9:6-11, Matius 6:1-6, 16-18

“Apa sahaja yang saya lakukan, saya lakukan demi kemuliaan Tuhan,”
Hari ini Yesus mencabar kita untuk merenungkan motivasi disebalik mengapa kita melakukan apa yang kita lakukan. ‘Ingatlah, jangan kamu melakukan kewajiban agamamu dihadapan orang supaya dilihat mereka’: Kebaikan yang kita lakukan dalam kerja-kerja amal, kehidupan doa kita serta puasa yang kita lakukan kadang-kadang dimotivasikan oleh kepentingan diri sendiri dan kebangaan. Kita menjalani iman Kristian kita secara terbuka kerana di dalam hati, kita ingin mendapat perhatian dan kekaguman serta pujian dari orang lain.

Namun sekali lagi, Yesus mahu agar kita memiliki sikap yang berbeza dengan cara dunia ini. Masyarakat kita menghargai penampilan luar dan kita cenderung terpikat untuk mewar-warkan kehidupan kita di media sosial untuk menarik perhatian orang. Marilah melayani dan mengasihi orang lain dengan motivasi untuk membawa orang lain kepada Tuhan, bukannya kepada diri kita sendiri. Kita merasa puas apabila Allah Bapa kita yang “melihat yang tersembunyi” akan membalas kita dengan kasih-Nya yang setia dan kekal.

Soalan renungan:
Apakah yang mendorong saya untuk meluangkan masa di paroki, melayani orang miskin, menolong mereka yang memerlukan, meluangkan masa untuk berdoa dan sebagainya?
?????????

Renungan
2 Kor 9:6-11; Matthew 6:1-6,16-18

“Semua utai dikereja aku, aku ngereja ka mulia Allah Taala.”
Saritu, Jesus nekan ka kitai awak belemati ka tuju semua pengawa dikereja kitai. “Bejimat anang ngereja pengawa pengarap awak minta diri dipeda orang mayuh”: pengawa badas kitai, pengidup sembiang kitai sereta lebuh kitai bepasa ulih ngasoh kitai nyadi orang ti mentingka diri sereta sombong. Kitai diau dalam pengidup Kristian ba bala mayuh laban dalam ati kitai, kitai deka narit orang bukai awak dipeda mensia mayuh lalu bulih puji sereta basa mensia.

Sekali agi, Jesus minta kitai awak enda nitih ka jalai dunya. Dunya ngasuh kitai ngangkun ka utai ti tampak ari luar ti ngasuh kitai tepejuh deka mandangka pengidup kitai ba media rama awak narit ati orang ka kitai. Aram meh kitai mela sereta rindu ka orang bukai enggau meri pemeransang narit orang ngagai Allah Taala, ukai narit ngagai kitai. Kitai cukup gaga ati lebuh Allah Taala ti Apai kitai “meda semua pengawa belalai kitai” deka meri ngupah kitai enggau penalok ati sereta pengerindu ti meruan belama.

Nama utai ti meransang aku awak meri masa ba Gerija, ngintu sida ti seranta, nyaup orang ti merinsa, ngeluang masa besembiang?

2021年6月16日常年期第十一周单数年星期三

省思
《格后九:6-11》
《玛六:1-6, 16-18》

“我所做的,是为光荣天主”
今天,耶稣挑战我们反省我们所做的一切。”你们要谨慎,不可在人前炫耀你们的正义,故意引人注目”。我们以施舍,祈祷和斋戒所做的善工,都有可能来自于我们的自私和虚荣。我们宣传我们的基督信德因为在我们内心我们要引起注意力并且得到他人的崇拜和赞赏。
再一次,耶稣要我们与众不同。我们的社会重视外在,也因此我们时常在社交媒体展示自己以得到更多的目光。让我们服务人群和以爱拉近众人与天主的距离而不是我们的。。天父会明察隱秘的事,祂会以忠诚和永恒的爱来赏报你。

省思题:
是什么鼓励我们服务教会,帮助穷苦,帮助有需要的人,祈祷等等?
