读经一
恭读厄则克耳先知书 2:8-3:4
我，厄则克耳听见有声音向我说：“人子，你要听我向你讲的话，你不要叛逆，像叛逆的家族。你要张口，把我给你的吞下。”我观望时，看，有一只手向我伸来，手上有一卷书。他把那卷书在我面前展开，内外都写着字，写的是：“哀伤、悲叹和灾祸。” 以后，他向我说：“人子，将给你的吞下去。你吞下这卷书，然后去向以色列子民宣讲。”我遂张开口，他便使我吞下那卷书，并向我说：“人子，要吞到肚子里，要把我给你的这卷书充满你的五内。”我遂吃了，这卷书在我嘴里甘甜如蜜。然后他向我说：“人子，起来往以色列家族那里去，向他们宣讲我所说的话。”
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Ezekiel 2:8-3:4
The Lord GOD said to me:
As for you, son of man, obey me when I speak to you:
be not rebellious like this house of rebellion,
but open your mouth and eat what I shall give you.
It was then I saw a hand stretched out to me,
in which was a written scroll which he unrolled before me.
It was covered with writing front and back,
and written on it was:
Lamentation and wailing and woe!
He said to me: Son of man, eat what is before you;
eat this scroll, then go, speak to the house of Israel.
So I opened my mouth and he gave me the scroll to eat.
Son of man, he then said to me,
feed your belly and fill your stomach
with this scroll I am giving you.
I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
He said: Son of man, go now to the house of Israel,
and speak my words to them.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 18:1-5, 10, 12-14
就在那时刻，门徒来到耶稣跟前说：“在天国里究竟谁是最大的？”耶稣就叫一个小孩来，使他站在他们中间，说：“我实在告诉你们：你们若不悔改而变成如同小孩一样，你们决不能进天国。所以，谁若自谦自卑如同这一个小孩，这人就是天国中最大的。无论谁因我的名字，收留一个这样的小孩，就是收留我。你们小心！不要轻视这些小子中的一个，因为我告诉你们：他们的天使在天上，常见我在天之父的面。” 耶稣又说：“你们以为如何？如果一个人有一百只羊，其中一只迷失了路，他岂不把那九十九只羊留在山上，而去寻找那只迷失了路的吗？如果他幸运找着了，我实在告诉你们：他为这一只，比为那九十九只没有迷路的，更觉欢喜；同样，使这些小子中的一个丧亡，决不是你们在天之父的意愿。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14
The disciples approached Jesus and said,
“Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?”
He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said,
“Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children,
you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.
Whoever becomes humble like this child
is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.
And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones,
for I say to you that their angels in heaven
always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.
What is your opinion?
If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,
will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills
and go in search of the stray?
And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it
than over the ninety-nine that did not stray.
In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father
that one of these little ones be lost.”
