圣德兰.里修(小德肋撒)庆日

Feast of Saint Therese of Lisieux

读经一

恭读依撒意亚先知书 66:10-14

凡爱慕耶路撒冷的,你们都应同她一起快乐,因她而欢喜!凡为她而忧伤的,你们都要同她尽情欢乐!如此你们能从她那安慰的怀里吃奶而得饱饫,你们能从她那丰满的乳房吃奶而得快乐。因为上主这样说:看!我要在她身上广赐和平,有如河流一样;我要赐给她万国的财宝,好似泛滥的江河;她的乳儿将被抱在怀中,放在膝上摇晃。就如人怎样受母亲的抚慰,我也要怎样抚慰你们,你们必要在耶路撒冷享受安慰。你们见到这种情形,你们的心必要欢乐,你们的身体必要如青草一般的健壮;那时,上主的大能将显示给他的仆人。

Reading 1

A reading from the book of the Prophet Isaiah 66:10-14c

Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her,
all you who love her;
Exult, exult with her,
all you who were mourning over her!
Oh, that you may suck fully
of the milk of her comfort,
That you may nurse with delight
at her abundant breasts!
For thus says the LORD:
Lo, I will spread prosperity over her like a river,
and the wealth of the nations like 
an overflowing torrent.
As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms,
and fondled in her lap;
As a mother comforts her son,
so will I comfort you;
in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort.

When you see this, your heart shall rejoice,
and your bodies flourish like the grass;
The LORD’s power shall be known to his servants.

福音

恭读

圣玛窦福音 18:1-5

那时候,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,你们决不能进入天国。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。”

Gospel

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 18:1-5

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 humbles himself like this child
is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.
And whoever receives one child such as this in my name
receives me.”
