The Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
-
Isaiah 49: 3, 5-6; 1 Corinthians 1:1-13; John 1:29-34. Before we receive the Lord in the Eucharist, we hear the words, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” We will hear these words in today’s Gospel, for they were first proclaimed by John the Baptist. John, Isaiah, and Paul all testify to how the Lord has called them and changed their lives. May we be inspired by them and take to heart what we sing in the responsorial psalm: “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”Domenica 2A Del Tempo Ordinario
Giovanni ci communica la vera fisionomia del Messia. Costruiamo attorno a noi un mondo di serenità e di pace perchè Gesù, mite agnello, non spenda invano la sua vita per tutti noi, consegnandoci un mondo rinnovato e pulito.
常年期第二主日
聖若翰洗者在傳教之前祇認識耶穌是自己的表弟 。但在約旦河替耶穌付洗時，看見聖神藉鴿子的形象從天降下，停在祂身上，才豁然明白，才真正地認清耶穌是天主聖子，是默西亞。這種認識使他大膽地為祂作證，清楚地向眾人說：「請看！天主的羔羊，除免世罪者！」這是兩句話是整部福音的主題：看、信、見證。
這也是今後世世代代的基督徒的目標和使命。天主給我們每人一個使命、一段時間去完成這使命。聖若翰看清了耶穌的真正身份，不惜以生命去作見證。而多年和師傅若翰在一起門徒，聽了師傅的見證，離開了他，跟隨耶穌去了。他們以後終其一生去傳揚祂的聖道，為祂作證，甚至為祂犧牲生命。時至今日兩千多年來，我們仍看到不少精烈的信徒，為主作出英的見證。
今天，我們也可以從福音中，從大自然中、從周圍環境和所接觸的人中看到這位除免世者。讓我們祈求天主給我們恩寵使我們看到、去接受以及去信和願意為祂作證吧！
