Reading of the Word of God

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Whoever lives and believes in me
will never die.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Luke 9,43b-45

'For your part, you must have these words constantly in mind: The Son of man is going to be delivered into the power of men.' But they did not understand what he said; it was hidden from them so that they should not see the meaning of it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

 

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

If you believe, you will see the glory of God,
thus says the Lord.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

"Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands." This time there is no mention of the Resurrection. In the language of the Bible, "to be betrayed into human hands," refers to the painful and cruel fate of someone abandoned by God and left precisely at the mercy of the power of human beings. But despite this clarity, the disciples did not understand. This could be said of us, we who are often distant, like the disciples of that time, from the thoughts and concerns of Jesus and especially distant from the sense he had of himself and his mission. It is not that the disciples simply did not understand his words, but they risked to become hard as when one rejects weakness and sufferings. The apostle Paul will say it well to the Christians in Corinth: "But we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God" (1Cor 1:23-24). The way of the Cross remains a stumbling-block also for us, for our individualist culture so spread in the world. And yet it is from the cross that salvation is born. Redemption from the slavery of sin comes from a love that knows no limits, like Jesus'. Luke notes that the disciples still continued not to understand Jesus' words and remained in silence, without asking for any further explanation. It is an attitude of lack of trust towards Jesus and confidence in their ignorance. They preferred to stay in the dark. We need to be guided and instructed every day by the Word of God. In listening we will find the wisdom of the Gospel.

这群年轻人,通过阅读圣经,並将圣经作为生命的中心,激励他们度真正信仰的生活,接受耶稣基督自古以来,世世代代的邀请,成为祂的门徒。这邀请呼籲人悔改,放弃只是为自己而生活的态度,开始自由自在地成为泛爱众人的工具,爱人不分男女,而特别是爱那些最贫穷的人。聆听及生活天主的圣言,是人生命中的最重要的事,就是承认人应跟随耶稣,而非跟随自我。

在这个团体中,最真情流露的景象就是大家聚集一起祈祷,聆听天主的圣言,像当年的门徒,有如一家人般聚集在耶稣身旁一样。同心合意的祈祷(宗2:42)是简单的祈祷方式,它要求团体所有成员献出自己。如同圣咏一样,祈祷是熟识耶稣的说话和祈祷的门径,融合了前人的祈祷,将穷人的需要、我们的需要、以及整个世界的需要,呈献给上主。

因此,在罗马及在意大利、欧洲、以至在全世界的其他城市中,我们的团体都尽可能经常聚会,一起祈祷。我们在很多城市中,每晚都会有团体的祈祷,並开放给普罗大众参与。我们也期望团体内的每个成员,都有个人祈祷的理想地方,在生活中阅读圣经,並要从福音开始阅读。
