First reading Tobit 11:5-17

Tobit’s sight is restored to him

Anna was sitting, watching the road by which her son would come. She was sure at once it must be he and said to the father, ‘Here comes your son, with his companion.’
  Raphael said to Tobias before he reached his father, ‘I give you my word that your father’s eyes will open. You must put the fish’s gall to his eyes; the medicine will smart and will draw a filmy white skin off his eyes. And your father will be able to see and look on the light.’
  The mother ran forward and threw her arms round her son’s neck. ‘Now I can die,’ she said ‘I have seen you again.’ And she wept. Tobit rose to his feet and stumbled across the courtyard through the door. Tobias came on towards him (he had the fish’s gall in his hand). He blew into his eyes and said, steadying him, ‘Take courage, father!’ With this he applied the medicine, left it there a while, then with both hands peeled away a filmy skin from the corners of his eyes. Then his father fell on his neck and wept. He exclaimed, ‘I can see, my son, the light of my eyes!’ And he said:
 
‘Blessed be God!
Blessed be his great name!
Blessed be all his holy angels!
Blessed be his great name for evermore!
For he had scourged me
and now has had pity on me
and I see my son Tobias.’
 
Tobias went into the house, and with a loud voice joyfully blessed God. Then he told his father everything: how his journey had been successful and he had brought the silver back; how he had married Sarah, the daughter of Raguel; how she was following him now, close behind, and could not be far from the gates of Nineveh.
  Tobit set off to the gates of Nineveh to meet his daughter-in-law, giving joyful praise to God as he went. When the people of Nineveh saw him walking without a guide and stepping forward as briskly as of old, they were astonished. Tobit described to them how God had taken pity on him and had opened his eyes. Then Tobit met Sarah, the bride of his son Tobias, and blessed her in these words, ‘Welcome, daughter! Blessed be your God for sending you to us, my daughter. Blessings on your father, blessings on my son Tobias, blessings on yourself, my daughter. Welcome now to your own house in joyfulness and in blessedness. Come in, my daughter.’ He held a feast that day for all the Jews of Nineveh.
 

Responsorial Psalm 145(146):2,7-10

My soul, give praise to the Lord.
or
Alleluia!
 
My soul, give praise to the Lord:
  I will praise the Lord all my days,
  make music to my God while I live.
 
My soul, give praise to the Lord.
or
Alleluia!
 
It is the Lord who keeps faith for ever,
  who is just to those who are oppressed.
It is he who gives bread to the hungry,
  the Lord, who sets prisoners free,
 
My soul, give praise to the Lord.
or
Alleluia!
 
It is the Lord who gives sight to the blind,
  who raises up those who are bowed down,
the Lord, who protects the stranger
  and upholds the widow and orphan.
 
My soul, give praise to the Lord.
or
Alleluia!
 
It is the Lord who loves the just
  but thwarts the path of the wicked.
The Lord will reign for ever,
  Zion’s God, from age to age.
 
My soul, give praise to the Lord.
or
Alleluia!
 

Gospel Mark 12:35-37

‘David himself calls him Lord’

At that time while teaching in the Temple, Jesus said, ‘How can the scribes maintain that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, moved by the Holy Spirit, said:
 
The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit at my right hand
and I will put your enemies
under your feet.
 
David himself calls him Lord, in what way then can he be his son?’ And the great majority of the people heard this with delight.

Reflection
Tobit 11: 5-17, Mark 12: 35-37

“The humble joy of entering into the mystery of God”
Today’s gospel provokes us to ask ourselves a very fundamental question: Who is Jesus? In the passage, Jesus said, “How can the scribes maintain that the Christ is the son of David?”. Jesus knew that many Jews were expecting the coming Messiah to be King David’s descendent. However, King David himself in Ps 110 referred to the Messiah as “my Lord”, and so, the Messiah is far greater than David. Although Jesus is the Messiah that comes from the line of David, He is more than David’s son. He is David’s Lord. He is the Son of God. Therefore, the point that Jesus wants to reveal to His audience and all of us that there is more to Him than we can fully comprehend.

Jesus, God in human form, is beyond titles and concepts. The invitation from Jesus is to enter into a relationship with Him and to spend time in prayer to truly allow Him to reveal who He is to us.

Question for reflection:
Do I delight in Jesus and in who He is for me?

Renungan

Tobit 11: 5-17, Markus 12: 35-37

“Sukacita untuk masuk dalam misteri Allah”
Injil hari ini memprovokasi kita untuk bertanya soalan yang paling asas: Siapa Yesus? Dalam petikan tersebut Yesus mengatakan, “Bagaimana ahli-ahli Taurat dapat mengatakan bahawa Mesias adalah anak Daud?” Yesus mengetahui bahawa ramai orang Yahudi menantikan kedatangan Mesias untuk menjadi keturunan Raja Daud. Namun, Raja Daud sendiri dalam Mazmur 110 merujuk Mesias sebagai “Tuhanku”, dan oleh itu, Mesias adalah lebih besar daripada Daud. Walaupun Yesus adalah Mesias yang datang dari keturunan Daud, Dia lebih dari sekadar menjadi anak kepada Daud. Dia adalah Tuhan bagi Daud. Dia adalah anak Allah. Oleh itu, hal yang ingin ditunjukkan Yesus kepada para pendengarNya adalah bahawa terdapat hal yang lebih besar tentang Dia yang sukar untuk kita fahami.

Yesus, Tuhan dalam bentuk rupa manusia adalah jauh melebihi gelaran dan konsep. Jemputan Yesus pada kita adalah untuk masuk ke dalam relasi denganNya dan meluangkan waktu dalam doa agar dapat membenarkan Dia menunjukkan diriNya sebenar kepada kita.

Soalan renungan:
Adakah saya gembira di dalam Yesus dan siapa Yesus bagi saya?

Tobit 11:5-17; Mark 12:35-37

“Pengimun ati gaga tama dalam misteria Allah Taala.”
Saritu, bacha Injil ngansak kitai awak nanya diri empu: sapa Jesus? Ba bagi bacha, ko Jesus, “Baka ni ku sida pengajar Adat tau ngumbai Kristus peturun David?”. Jesus nemu mayuh orang bansa Judah ngadang penatai Mesias ti ari peturun David. Tang, David kediri udah bejako dalam Masmur 110 ngaku Mesias nya “Tuhan”, nya alai Mesias lebih besai agi ari David. Taja Jesus nya amat Mesias ti datai ari peturun David, Iya lebih besai agi ari nyadi anak David. Iya meh Tuhan Rajah David. Iya meh Anak Allah Taala. Nya kebuah, isi pesan Jesus mandangka kitai ti peninga Iya nanda ka Iya lebih agi ari runding kitai.

Jesus, Allah Taala ti udah nyadi mensia, besai agi ari pangkat sereta atur penemu kitai. Kangau Jesus ka kitai awak tama dalam kaul ti semak enggau Iya lalu ngelipang diri awak besembiang ngagai Iya gi mandangka Diri ngagai kitai.

Bisi aku gaga ati ke Jesus lalu ngaku sapa Iya ba aku?

2021年6月4日常年期第九周单数年星期五

省思
《多十一:5-17》
《谷十二:35-37》

“进入天主奥秘的谦卑喜乐”
今天的福音激起我们这个很重要的问题:谁是耶稣?在福音的章节里,耶稣问:”经师怎会说基督是达味之子呢?” 耶稣知道许多的犹太人期待着来临的默西亚成为达味之子。然而,达味王在咏110提到默西亚就是”我主”,因此,默西亚是远远超越达味王。
虽然耶稣是来自达味的血统,祂是超越达味之子。祂是达味的天主。祂是天主之子。因此,天主有许多要与观众和我们分享,可是祂确实我们远远超乎我们想象。
耶稣,就是天主在人体里,超乎头衔和想法。耶稣邀请我们进入与祂的关系中并且透过祈祷来了解祂。

省思题:
我是否喜乐在耶稣内和祂为我是谁呢?
