读经一
恭读约伯传 1:6-22
有一天，天主的众子都来侍立在上主面前，撒殚也夹在他们当中。上主问撒殚说：“你从那里来？”撒殚回答上主说：“我走遍了世界，周游了各地回来。”上主对撒殚说：“你曾留心注意到我的仆人约伯没有？因为世上没有一个像他那样十全十美，生性正直，敬畏天主，远避邪恶的人。”撒殚回答上主说：“约伯那里是无缘无故敬畏天主呢？你不是四面保护他、他的家庭和他所有的一切么？并且凡是他亲手做的，你都祝福了；你使他的牲畜在地上繁殖增多。但是你若伸手打击他所有的一切，他必定当面诅咒你。”上主对撒殚说：“看，他所有的一切，都随你处理，只是不要伸手加害他的身体。”撒殚遂离开天主走了。
有一天，约伯的儿子同女儿正在长兄家里欢宴饮酒的时候，有个带信的人跑来向约伯说：“牛正在耕田，母驴在一旁吃草的时候，舍巴人突然闯来将牲口抢了去，用刀将那些仆人杀了，只有我一人逃脱，来向你报告。”这人还在报告时，另一个人跑来说：“天主的火由天降下，将羊群和仆人都烧死了，只有我一人逃脱，来向你报告。”这人还在报告时，另一个人跑来说：“加色丁人分成三队闯入骆驼群，将骆驼抢走了，用刀将仆人杀了，只有我一人逃脱，来向你报告。”这人还在报告时，另一个人跑来说：“你的儿女正在长兄家宴饮的时候，忽然从旷野那边吹来一阵飓风，刮倒了房屋的四角，压死了你的孩子，只有我一人幸免，来向你报告。”约伯就起来，撕裂了自己的外袍，剃去头发，俯伏在地叩拜，说：“我赤身脱离母胎，也要赤身归去；上主赐的，上主收回。愿上主的名受赞美！”就这一切事而论，约伯并没有犯罪，也没有说抱怨天主的话。
Reading 1
A reading from the book of Job 1:6-22
One day, when the angels of God came to present themselves before the LORD,
Satan also came among them.
And the LORD said to Satan, “Whence do you come?”
Then Satan answered the LORD and said,
“From roaming the earth and patrolling it.”
And the LORD said to Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job,
and that there is no one on earth like him,
blameless and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil?”
But Satan answered the LORD and said,
“Is it for nothing that Job is God-fearing?
Have you not surrounded him and his family
and all that he has with your protection?
You have blessed the work of his hands,
and his livestock are spread over the land.
But now put forth your hand and touch anything that he has,
and surely he will blaspheme you to your face.”
And the LORD said to Satan,
“Behold, all that he has is in your power;
only do not lay a hand upon his person.”
So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
And so one day, while his sons and his daughters
were eating and drinking wine
in the house of their eldest brother,
a messenger came to Job and said,
“The oxen were ploughing and the asses grazing beside them,
and the Sabeans carried them off in a raid.
They put the herdsmen to the sword,
and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
While he was yet speaking, another came and said,
“Lightning has fallen from heaven
and struck the sheep and their shepherds and consumed them;
and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
While he was yet speaking, another messenger came and said,
“The Chaldeans formed three columns,
seized the camels, carried them off,
and put those tending them to the sword,
and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
While he was yet speaking, another came and said,
“Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine
in the house of their eldest brother,
when suddenly a great wind came across the desert
and smote the four corners of the house.
It fell upon the young people and they are dead;
and I alone have escaped to tell you.”
Then Job began to tear his cloak and cut off his hair.
He cast himself prostrate upon the ground, and said,
“Naked I came forth from my mother’s womb,
and naked shall I go back again.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
blessed be the name of the LORD!”
In all this Job did not sin,
nor did he say anything disrespectful of God.
福音
恭读圣路加福音 9:46-50
那时，门徒间开始争辩谁是他们中最大的。耶稣看透了他们的心思，就领来一个小孩子，叫他立在自己身边，对他们说：“谁若为了我的名字收留这个小孩子，就是收留我；谁若收留我，就是收留那派遣我来的；因为在你们众人中最小的，这人才是最大的。”若望说：“老师！我们曾看见一个人，因你的名字驱魔，就禁止了他，因为他不与我们同伙。”耶稣却向他说：“不要禁止！因为谁不反对你们，就是倾向你们。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 9:46-50
An argument arose among the disciples
about which of them was the greatest.
Jesus realized the intention of their hearts and took a child
and placed it by his side and said to them,
“Whoever receives this child in my name receives me,
and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.
For the one who is least among all of you
is the one who is the greatest.”Then John said in reply,
“Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name
and we tried to prevent him
because he does not follow in our company.”
Jesus said to him,
“Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you.”
