First reading Ezekiel 37:21-28

I will bring them home and make them one nation

The Lord says this: ‘I am going to take the sons of Israel from the nations where they have gone. I shall gather them together from everywhere and bring them home to their own soil. I shall make them into one nation in my own land and on the mountains of Israel, and one king is to be king of them all; they will no longer form two nations, nor be two separate kingdoms. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and their filthy practices and all their sins. I shall rescue them from all the betrayals they have been guilty of; I shall cleanse them; they shall be my people and I will be their God. My servant David will reign over them, one shepherd for all; they will follow my observances, respect my laws and practise them. They will live in the land that I gave my servant Jacob, the land in which your ancestors lived. They will live in it, they, their children, their children’s children, for ever. David my servant is to be their prince for ever. I shall make a covenant of peace with them, an eternal covenant with them. I shall resettle them and increase them; I shall settle my sanctuary among them for ever. I shall make my home above them; I will be their God, they shall be my people. And the nations will learn that I am the Lord, the sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary is with them for ever.’
 

Responsorial Psalm Jeremiah 31:10-13

The Lord will guard us as a shepherd guards his flock.
 
O nations, hear the word of the Lord,
  proclaim it to the far-off coasts.
Say: ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him
  and guard him as a shepherd guards his flock.’
 
For the Lord has ransomed Jacob,
  has saved him from an overpowering hand.
They will come and shout for joy on Mount Zion,
  they will stream to the blessings of the Lord.
 
Then the young girls will rejoice and dance,
  the men, young and old, will be glad.
I will turn their mourning into joy,
  I will console them, give gladness for grief.
 

Gospel John 11:45-56

Jesus was to die to gather together the scattered children of God

Many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did believed in him, but some of them went to tell the Pharisees what Jesus had done. Then the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting. ‘Here is this man working all these signs’ they said ‘and what action are we taking? If we let him go on in this way everybody will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy the Holy Place and our nation.’ One of them, Caiaphas, the high priest that year, said, ‘You do not seem to have grasped the situation at all; you fail to see that it is better for one man to die for the people, than for the whole nation to be destroyed.’ He did not speak in his own person, it was as high priest that he made this prophecy that Jesus was to die for the nation – and not for the nation only, but to gather together in unity the scattered children of God. From that day they were determined to kill him. So Jesus no longer went about openly among the Jews, but left the district for a town called Ephraim, in the country bordering on the desert, and stayed there with his disciples.
  The Jewish Passover drew near, and many of the country people who had gone up to Jerusalem to purify themselves looked out for Jesus, saying to one another as they stood about in the Temple, ‘What do you think? Will he come to the festival or not?’

Reflection
Ezekiel 37:21-28, John 11: 45-56

“For Jesus, each individual is important”
In the gospel, Caiaphas, the high priest, decided that one man should die for the nation. For him, the life of an individual was nothing compared to the nation, and thus Jesus should be sacrificed for the collective good. For Jesus, however, each and every person matters. He is, like the shepherd, who left the 99 sheep to search for the single lost sheep. He is, like the woman who lost one coin and turned her house upside-down in order to find that coin. He is, like the father, who goes out to each son to show his love (Luke 15, 1-32). His whole life was to reach out to love each sinner (Zacchaeus, Luke 19:1-10), each outcast (Matthew, Matthew 9:9, Samaritan woman, John 4:1-25), each sick person (Mark 10:46-52, Matthew 8:1-4).

Today, Jesus invites us to look at each person as precious and to extend our love for the individual and his/her well-being. Each person, no matter how insignificant, is important and worthy of our attention and care.

Question for reflection:
Do I look at each person through the eyes of Jesus or Caiaphas?

27 hb Mac 2021 Hari Sabtu Minggu Prapaska Ke – 5

Renungan
Yehezkiel 37:21-28, Yohanes 11: 45-56

“Bagi Yesus, setiap peribadi adalah penting”
Dalam injil, Kayafas, imam besar memutuskan bahawa satu orang harus mati untuk bangsa ini. Baginya, kehidupan seorang individu tidak dapat dibandingkan dengan bangsa dan dengan itu Yesus harus dikorbankan untuk kebaikan bersama. Namun bagi Yesus, setiap peribadi adalah penting. Yesus, seperti seorang gembala yang meninggalkan 99 dombanya untuk mencari satu dombanya yang hilang. Dia, seperti seorang wanita yang kehilangan satu duit syiling dan membongkar seluruh rumahnya untuk mencari duit syiling tersebut. Dia, seperti seorang bapa, keluar pergi kepada setiap anaknya untuk menunjukkan kasihnya kepada mereka (Lukas 15:1-32). Seluruh kehidupanNya adalah untuk mengasihi orang-orang berdosa (Zakheus, Lukas 19:1-10), setiap orang yang terbuang (Matius, Matius 9:9, Perempuan Samaria, Yohanes 4:1-25), orang-orang yang sakit (Markus 10:46-52, Matius 8:1-4).

Hari ini Yesus mengundang kita untuk melihat setiap peribadi sebagai berharga dan menunjukkan kasih untuk kesejahteraan mereka. Setiap orang berharga dan layak diberi perhatian.

Soalan renungan:
Adakah saya melihat setiap orang melalui mata Yesus atau Kayafas?
????????

2021年3月27日四旬期第五周星期六

省思
«厄卅七:21-28»
«若十一:45-56»

” 对耶稣而言,每一人都很重要”

在福音里,盖法,一个大司祭,想出了“叫一个人替百姓死”的概念。对他而言,一人牺牲性命不足为奇。因此,耶稣必需为大众牺牲。可是,对耶稣而言,每一个人都很重要。祂像个牧人,丢下99只而去寻觅那一只遗失的羊。祂像一个妇女,遗失了一个“达玛”,而点上灯,打扫房屋,细心寻找,直到找着。祂像一个父亲,去对每一个孩子表达他的爱(路十五:1-32)。祂的一生在于对罪人(匝凯,路十九:1-10),边缘人(玛窦,玛九:9,撒玛黎雅妇女,若四:1-25),病痛的人(谷十:46-52,玛八:1-4)显示祂的爱。
今天,耶稣邀请我们正视每一个人,他/她的健康及其幸福。每一个人,不管他/她看似那么的微不足道,都值得被我们关心及爱护。

省思题:
我以耶稣的还是盖法的眼光看待每一个人?
