得撒洛尼前書1:1-5, 8-10

瑪竇福音23:13-22

今天的讀經提醒我們宗教的真正目的。

在福音中，耶穌提醒我們這些在某種意義上教導信仰的人，不要太注重信仰的規矩和細節，以至嚇跑了那些原本該被帶到基督前的人。規矩是必需的，但是我們需有要良好的判斷力，不要因為嚴格的貫徹執行而「封閉了天國」， 「不讓願意進去的人進去」。

在讀經一中，聖保祿寫信給得撒洛尼教會的靈性子女，對他們顯示了溫柔、鼓勵和愛。他讚揚他們，「因信德所做的工作，因愛德所受的勞苦，因盼望我們的主耶穌基督所有的堅忍。」

請努力回憶最近一次你如何稱讚和鼓勵那些屬你權下的人。

今天的答唱詠也提醒我們，「上主喜愛自己的百姓」。讓我們祈禱，希望我們能帶給他喜悅。

親愛的家人，上周因為避靜沒有及時更新，請見諒！上周每日靈糧內容本周將陸續刊發。

WORD Today

08/28/17

1Thes 1:1-5, 8-10

Mt 23:13-22

Today s Readings are reminders of the true intention of religion.

In the Gospel, Jesus reminds us who in some way teach the faith, not to focus too much on the rules and technicalities of the faith to the point of scaring away those we are supposed to bring to Christ. Rules are necessary but we need good judgment not to let strict implementation "lock the Kingdom of heaven" and "not allow entrance to those trying to get in."

In the First Reading, St. Paul, writing to his spiritual children in the church of Thessalonica, shows them gentleness, encouragement and love. He praises their "work of faith and labor of love, and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Try to recall the last time you praised and encouraged those under you.

The Responsorial Psalm reminds us that "The Lord takes delight in His people."

Let us pray we are bringing Him His delight.
