四旬期第一周星期二
Tuesday of the First Week of Lent
读经一
恭读依撒意亚先知书 55:10-11
上主这样说:“譬如雨和雪从天降下,不再返回原处,只有灌溉田地,使之生长萌芽,偿还播种者种子,供给吃饭者食粮;同样,从我口中发出的言语,不能空空地回到我这里来;反之,它必实行我的旨意,完成我派遣它的使命。”
Reading 1
A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah 55:10-11
Thus says the LORD:
Just as from the heavens
the rain and snow come down
And do not return there
till they have watered the earth,
making it fertile and fruitful,
Giving seed to the one who sows
and bread to the one who eats,
So shall my word be
that goes forth from my mouth;
It shall not return to me void,
but shall do my will,
achieving the end for which I sent it.
福音
恭读圣玛窦福音 6:7-15
那时候,耶稣对他的门徒说:“你们祈祷时,不要唠唠叨叨,如同外邦人一样,因为他们以为只要多言,便可获得垂允。你们不要跟他们一样,因为你们的父,在你们求他以前,已知道你们需要什么。所以,你们应当这样祈祷:我们在天的父!愿你的名被尊为圣,愿你的国来临,愿你的旨意承行于地,如在天上一样!我们的日用粮,求你今天赐给我们;宽免我们的罪债,犹如我们也宽免得罪我们的人;不要让我们陷入诱惑,但救我们免于凶恶。因为你们若宽免别人的过犯,你们的天父也必宽免你们的;但你们若不宽免别人的,你们的父也必不宽免你们的过犯。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 6:7-15
Jesus said to his disciples:
“In praying, do not babble like the pagans,
who think that they will be heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them.
Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
“This is how you are to pray:
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
“If you forgive men their transgressions,
your heavenly Father will forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men,
neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.”
