渴望:進入天主的國
讀經:路加福音:13:22-30
22耶穌經過城市鄉村,隨處施教,朝著耶路撒冷走去。 | 22And he went through the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem. |
23有一個人給他說:「主,得救的人果然不多嗎?」耶穌對他們說: | 23And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them: |
24「你們竭力由窄門而入罷!因為將來有許多人,我告訴你們:要想進去,而不得入。 | 24Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able. |
25及至家主起來把門關上,你們在外面站著,開始敲門說:主,請給我們開門罷!他要回答你們說:我不認識你們是那裡的。 | 25But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are. |
26那時,你們會說:我們曾在你面前吃過喝過;你也曾在我們的街市上施教過。 | 26Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. |
27他要說:我告訴你們:我不認識你們是那裡的;你們這些作惡的人,都離開我去罷! | 27And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. |
28幾時你們望見亞巴郎、依撒格、雅各伯及眾先知在天主的國裡,你們卻被棄在外,那裡要有哀號和切齒。 | 28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. |
29將有從東從西,從北從南而來的人,在天主的國裡坐席。 | 29And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. |
30看罷!有最後的將成為最先的,也有最先的將成為最後的。」 | 30And behold, they are last that shall be first; and they are first that shall be last. |
與主對話
Ø 我對耶穌說:我目前這樣的狀態------是在天主的國嗎?------,耶穌打斷我的話,你目前的狀態是在我手中,是我負責,不是你負責,你已經不在世界,不要用世界的眼光來批判自己。
Ø 耶穌說:你現在是要把一切的心思意念歸到我的手中,我不要你任何一絲的成就是來自妳自己。
Ø 耶穌繼續說:我知道妳會憂慮,把憂慮換成每一個祈禱,在祈禱中蛻變妳的憂慮,我沒有要妳用意志去做甚麼事,你的意志是要歸到耶和華妳的神身上。
