进堂咏
上主保护我,引领我步入广阔的平原,他因喜爱我,而给了我救援。(咏18:19-20)
集祷经
上主,但愿世事常能遵照你和平的计划进展,并愿你的教会常在平安中欢欣地事奉你。因你的圣子、我们的主耶稣基督,他和你及圣神,是唯一天主,永生永王。亚孟。
读经一(上主的工程,充满了他的光荣。)
恭读德训篇 42:15-26
现在,我要提念上主的化工,要称述我见过的事迹:上主的化工因自己的话而完成,他的教训是他恩宠的作为。光辉的太阳照耀万物,上主的化工,也充满了他的光荣。上主并未允许圣者讲论他的一切奇事,全能的上主建立了这些奇事,为叫天地万物愈发显扬自己的光荣。他穷究深渊和人心,看透众人的诡计。因为,至高者通达各种学问,明察时代的征兆,陈述过去未来的世事,揭露隐秘的事迹;任何思想不能逃过他,连一句话也不能隐瞒他。
他井然布置了自己智慧的伟业,他从永远直到永远常常存在;对他,什么也不能增加,什么也不能减少;他不需要任何人的计谋。他的一切化工,是多么美妙!所能见到的,只是一点火花。这一切都要生活,且永远存在,任何环境下,都服从他。一切都是成双而相对的,他所造的圆满无缺。物各有所长,互成其美;天主的光荣,谁能看够?--上主的话。

福音(师傅!请叫我看见!)
恭读圣马尔谷福音 10:46-52
耶稣和他的门徒及一大群人,从耶里哥出来的时候,有一个瞎眼的乞丐,即提买的儿子巴尔提买坐在路旁。他一听说是纳匝肋人耶稣,就喊叫说:“耶稣,达味之子,可怜我吧!”许多人斥责他,叫他不要作声。但他越发喊叫说:“达味之子,可怜我吧!”耶稣就站住说:“叫他过来!”人就叫那瞎子,给他说:“放心!起来!他叫你呢!”瞎子就扔下自己的外衣,跳起来,走到耶稣跟前。耶稣对他说:“你愿意我给你做什么?”瞎子说:“师傅!叫我看见!”耶稣对他说:“去吧!你的信德救了你。”瞎子立刻看见了,就在路上跟着耶稣去了。--上主的话。
献礼经
天主,我们献上的礼品原是你的恩赐,你却把我们的奉献,视作我们事奉你的表现。求你藉此献礼,帮助我们承行你的旨意,以获享永生的赏报。因主耶稣基督之名,求你俯听我们的亚孟。
领主咏
我要向我恩主歌赞,赞颂至高上主的圣名。(咏13:6)
领圣体后经
仁慈的上主,我们饱飨了救恩的盛宴,恳切求你,恩赐我们今世常得这圣事的滋养,来日获享永生。因主耶稣基督之名,求你俯听我们的祈祷。亚孟。
上主发言,万有造成,在赞扬天主的光荣!人是天主至爱的创造,人以心神去看创造的美妙,自由地去歌颂。可是,罪打乱这个圆满。于是,天主再次发言,这次祂派遣祂的圣言基督来拯救。愿我们众人都能恒常赞颂上主在不断地创造。
基督,求祢可怜我们罢!因为我们失去了本来的圆满,活在看得多而看不明之中。我们不是完全看不见,而是模糊不清,我们虽是看得差,却自以为看得清。求祢垂怜我们如同祢垂怜巴尔提买一样。纵然我们有限,不能看够天主的光荣,基督,求祢起码让我们看得见祢,使我们起码可以追随祢,如同巴尔提买追随了祢一样。因为我们看不清,就更需要有祢的精明带领,使我们有正确的方向,不会掉进人间的陷阱中。求祢叫我们看见祢罢!
在我们信徒内的圣神啊!请祢以祢的超见补助我们眼目的有限,请祢以祢的神帮助我们听出天主圣言的呼唤,以祢的神圣性帮助我们的心神相信,使我们堪受基督对信者的怜悯。
天主圣三,愿祢永受赞美,因为我们在祢的恩宠中,从残缺转向圆满。
At his request "Lord that I may see" the blind beggar receives his sight. He had been waiting so long, had often been over-looked in the crowd. We can imagine his joy when Jesus calls him personally and asks him "What do you want me to do for you?"
The blind man is very clear what he wants. His blindness has kept him isolated and begging for a living. He has missed out on so much that now he appreciates even more the gift he has received. Not only does he receive his sight but, he is called personally by Jesus. He now no longer needs his cloak but leaves his old ways behind and follows Jesus on the way. We can imagine the joy in his heart as he goes along with new eyes to behold the beauty of all that God has made. He is no longer alone on the journey and now his life has a purpose and a goal.
Sometimes we too lose sight of our goal in life. Our journey is often blurred and like the beggar we beome immersed in our work and our own immediate goals and forget the call to follow Christ. Perhaps today's reading is a call to look into our own lives. Where are we on the journey? Do we have time to stop and appreciate the wonder and beauty of all that God has made? Maybe we need to listen to Jesus as He puts the question to us today "What do you want me to do for you?"
Lord, open our hearts to listen to our own deeper needs and give us the faith to believe that You do want to grant us our heart's desires.
