常年期第二十七周星期日
Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
读经一
恭读哈巴谷先知书 1:2-3; 2:2-4
上主，我向你求救，而你不垂听，要到何时？向你呼喊“残暴”，而你仍不施救？为什么你使我见到邪恶；人受压迫，而你竟坐视不管？在我面前，只有迫害和残暴，争吵不休，辩论四起。
上主回答我说：“你写出这神视，清楚地刻在版上，使人能流利诵读。因为这神视有一定的期限，最后必要实现，决无欺诈；若迟延了，你应等待；它必定来，决不误期。看，心术不正的，必然消逝；义人必因他的信德而生活。”
Reading 1
A reading from the book of the Prophet Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4
How long, O LORD? I cry for help
but you do not listen!
I cry out to you, “Violence!”
but you do not intervene.
Why do you let me see ruin;
why must I look at misery?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and clamorous discord.
Then the LORD answered me and said:
Write down the vision clearly upon the tablets,
so that one can read it readily.
For the vision still has its time,
presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint;
if it delays, wait for it,
it will surely come, it will not be late.
The rash one has no integrity;
but the just one, because of his faith, shall live.
读经二
恭读圣保禄宗徒致弟茂德后书 1:6-8, 13-14
亲爱的：
我提醒你把天主借我的覆手，所赋予你的恩赐，再炽燃起来，因为，天主所赐给我们的，并非怯懦之神，而是大能、爱德和慎重之神。所以，你不要以给我们的主作证为耻，也不要以我这为主被囚的人为耻，但要依赖天主的大能，为福音同我共受劳苦。
你要以信德，及在基督耶稣内的爱德，把从我所听的健全道理，奉为模范；且依赖那住在我们内的圣神，保管你所受的美好寄托。
Reading 2
A reading from the second letter of St. Paul to Timothy 1:6-8, 13-14
Beloved:
I remind you, to stir into flame
the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands.
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice
but rather of power and love and self-control.
So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord,
nor of me, a prisoner for his sake;
but bear your share of hardship for the gospel
with the strength that comes from God.
Take as your norm the sound words that you heard from me,
in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Guard this rich trust with the help of the Holy Spirit
that dwells within us.
福音
恭读圣路加福音 17:5-10
那时候，宗徒向主说：“请增加我们的信德吧！”
主说：“如果你们有信德，像芥子那样大，即使你们给这棵桑树说：你连根拔出，移植到海中去！它也会服从你们。
“你们中间，谁有仆人耕田或放羊，从田里回来，即给他说：你快过来，坐下吃饭吧！而不对他说：给我预备晚饭，束上腰，伺候我，等我吃喝完了，以后你才吃喝？仆人做了吩咐的事，主人岂要向他道谢？
“你们也是这样，既做完吩咐你们的一切，仍然要说：我们是无用的仆人，我们不过做了我们应做的事。”
Gospel
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 17:5-10
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
The Lord replied,
“If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,
you would say to this mulberry tree,
‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
“Who among you would say to your servant
who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field,
‘Come here immediately and take your place at table’?
Would he not rather say to him,
‘Prepare something for me to eat.
Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.
You may eat and drink when I am finished’?
Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
So should it be with you.
When you have done all you have been commanded,
say, ‘We are unprofitable servants;
we have done what we were obliged to do.'”
