First reading 2 Corinthians 3:4-11

The new covenant is a covenant of the Spirit

Before God, we are confident of this through Christ: not that we are qualified in ourselves to claim anything as our own work: all our qualifications come from God. He is the one who has given us the qualifications to be the administrators of this new covenant, which is not a covenant of written letters but of the Spirit: the written letters bring death, but the Spirit gives life. Now if the administering of death, in the written letters engraved on stones, was accompanied by such a brightness that the Israelites could not bear looking at the face of Moses, though it was a brightness that faded, then how much greater will be the brightness that surrounds the administering of the Spirit! For if there was any splendour in administering condemnation, there must be very much greater splendour in administering justification. In fact, compared with this greater splendour, the thing that used to have such splendour now seems to have none; and if what was so temporary had any splendour, there must be much more in what is going to last for ever.
 

Responsorial Psalm 98(99):5-9 

You are holy, O Lord our God.
 
Exalt the Lord our God;
  bow down before Zion, his footstool.
  He the Lord is holy.
 
You are holy, O Lord our God.
 
Among his priests were Aaron and Moses,
  among those who invoked his name was Samuel.
  They invoked the Lord and he answered.
 
You are holy, O Lord our God.
 
To them he spoke in the pillar of cloud.
  They did his will; they kept the law,
  which he, the Lord, had given.
 
You are holy, O Lord our God.
 
O Lord our God, you answered them.
  For them you were a God who forgives;
  yet you punished all their offences.
 
You are holy, O Lord our God.
 
Exalt the Lord our God;
  bow down before his holy mountain
  for the Lord our God is holy.
 
You are holy, O Lord our God.
 

Gospel Matthew 5:17-19

I have not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets but to complete them

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them. I tell you solemnly, till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, shall disappear from the Law until its purpose is achieved. Therefore, the man who infringes even one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be considered the least in the kingdom of heaven; but the man who keeps them and teaches them will be considered great in the kingdom of heaven.’

9th June 2021 Wednesday 10th Week of Ordinary Time – St. Ephrem.

Reflection
2 Corinthians 3:4-11, Matthew 5:17-19

“Constant need for renewal”
Jesus was always confronting the Jewish leaders regarding the manner of how they worshipped God and dealt with the people. He was not afraid to bring out the limitations that He saw. Yet, in today’s gospel, Jesus was very clear of His intention: “Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them”. He did not come to abolish but to renew and bring what is good in the Jewish law and the teachings of the Prophets into completion.

We tend to focus on the imperfections of the Church and its people as well as our faith communities and also our families. Often, we focus on the wheat of imperfections and fail to see the darnels of goodness present there. Today, allow Jesus to open our hearts to love the Church, our faith communities, our families despite the failures of people. We are called, not to criticise, but dare to work for renewal and bring what is good there to completion.

Question for reflection:
Am I willing to allow Jesus to work in and through me in the work of renewal?

9 hb Jun 2021 Hari Rabu Minggu Biasa Ke – 10 – St. Ephrem.

Renungan
2 Korintus 3:4-11, Matius 5:17-19

“Keperluan berterusan untuk pembaharuan”
Yesus sentiasa berhadapan dengan pemimpin Yahudi berkaitan dengan cara mereka menyembah Tuhan dan berurusan dengan orang ramai. Yesus tidak takut menyatakan kelemahan yang dapat Dia perhatikan. Namun, dalam injil hari ini, Yesus amat jelas dengan niatNya: “Janganlah kamu menyangka bahawa Aku datang untuk meniadakan hukum Taurat atau kitab para Nabi. Aku datang bukan untuk meniadakannya, melainkan untuk menggenapinya”. Yesus tidak datang untuk menghapuskan tetapi untuk memperbaharui dan menyempurnakan apa yang baik dalam hukum Yahudi dan ajaran para nabi.

Kita cenderung untuk memberi perhatian kepada kekurangan Gereja dan umatnya serta komuniti iman kita dan juga keluarga kita. Seringkali kita memberi tumpuan kepada ketidaksempurnaan dan gagal melihat kebaikan yang ada. Hari ini, benarkan Yesus membuka hati kita untuk mengasihi Gereja, komuniti iman kita, keluarga kita walaupun terdapat kegagalan-kegagalan di dalamnya. Kita dipanggil bukan untuk mengkritik melainkan untuk berani bekerja demi pembaharuan dan menyempurnakan apa yang baik.

Soalan renungan:
Adakah saya bersedia membenarkan Yesus bekerja di dalam dan melalui saya untuk kerja pembaharuan?

09-06-2021 Hari Tiga Minggu Selama Ka-10 – St. Ephrem

Renungan
2 Kor 3:4-11; Matthew 5:17-19

“Seruran ngemaru.”
Jesus seruran ngajar pemesai bansa Judah ba jalai sida nyembah Allah Taala sereta ngatur mensia mayuh. Iya enda takut negur pengurang ti di peda Iya. Saritu, dalam bacha Injil, Jesus nyemetak bendar bejako:”“Anang ngumbai Aku datai deka muai Adat, tauka muai ajar sida nabi. Aku ukai datai deka muai Adat, tang deka ngamatka iya.” Iya ukai datai muai adat tang ngemaru enggau mai utai ti badas ari adat bansa Judah sereta ngenap ka ajar sida Nabi.

Kitai suah merati ka penimpang Gerija enggau Umat sereta raban sepengarap nyengkaum bilik kitai. Kitai suah merati ka penimpang gandum lalu enda tepeda ka pemadas lalang dia. Saritu, beri awak ka Jesus muka ati kitai awak rindu ka Gerija, gerempong pengarap, bilik kitai taja mayuh penimpang. Kitai dikangau ukai ngakim tang awak gawa bendar ka pemaru lalu mai pemadas awak semua pengawa ulih genap dikereja.

Bisi aku meri awak ka Jesus gawa dalam sereta nengah aku dalam aku ngemaru ka diri?

2021年6月9日 常年期第十周单数年星期三
圣爱弗冷

省思
《格后三:4-11》
《玛五:17-19》

“需要持续地更新”
耶稣经常面对于犹太首领朝拜天主及处理民众事物的方式而质疑他们。祂不畏惧以祂所见到他们的不足之处而发声。然而,在今日的福音篇章里,耶稣很清楚地告知了祂的意向:“不要以为我的到来是为了废除法律或是先知。我的到来不是为了废除,而是使它们达到圆满”。祂的到来不是废除而是更新以及从犹太法律中带入良善的,同时教导宗徒进入圆满的境界。

我们倾向于聚焦于教会和当中民众的不足,当中包括了我们的社群和我们家庭中的缺陷。我们時時刻刻注意到的是麦子中的残缺,而忘了去看看莠子也有它存在的益处。今天,请允许耶稣开启我们的心扉去爱教会、爱我们的社群、爱我们的家庭,并且不去计较他们的失败之处。我们受到的召唤是,不是去批评,而是勇于为更新而努力并且带出良善好使得该处得到圆满。
