读经一(那些逃散的人走遍各处,宣讲天主的喜讯。)
恭读宗徒大事录 8:1-8
就在斯德望死于乱石下的那一日,发生了严厉迫害耶路撒冷教会的事;除宗徒外,众人都逃散到犹太和撒玛黎雅乡间。虔诚的人共同埋葬了斯德望,也为他大哭了一场。扫禄想摧毁教会,进入各家,连男带女都拉去,押到监里。
那些逃散的人经过各处,宣讲真道的喜讯。斐理伯下到撒玛黎雅城,给他们宣讲基督。群众都留意 斐理伯所讲的话,都同心合意地听教,并看到了他所行的奇迹;因为有许多附了邪魔的人,邪魔从他们身上大声喊叫着出去了。有许多瘫子和瘸子也被治好了。为 此,那城里的人皆大欢喜。——上主的话。

今天的福音和读经揭示自有人类以来的争斗。这是正义和邪恶的较量,善与恶两大阵营的对决。我们要么向善,要么趋恶;在邪恶和正义面前,没有中间妥协路线。
读经描绘了初期教会的两种态势。正义之士与教会同生共死,以生命维持教会的存在;邪恶之士则迫害教会,残杀无辜。面对这样的现实,善恶自明。可能,摆在我 面前的挑战不是分清楚善恶是非,而是弃恶扬善。表面看来,从恶是一件风光的事!可以玩弄权利,铲除异己。与此同时,趋善是困难的!不仅自己要面对生命的危 险,而且还会株连亲友。但是,如果我们联系自己的生命经验,就不难发现:与恶为伍是一件多么煎熬人的事!因为,那来自良心的谴责远远大于表面的短暂快感。 我们更会深刻的记忆:趋善是一件多么美好的事!尽管看起来困难重重,但内心的平安喜乐远超过外在的挑战。
福音教导我们要做出和永生相称的行为,信从父派遣来的子。信的行为表现就包括读经所记述的为益而受迫害。信的行为更要求我们在日常生活中趋善避恶。
复活的主,请给我们力量吧!
The Acts of the Apostles relates for us the spread of the Good News, from Jerusalem to Rome and the whole earth. Today we see that even persecution has the effect of spreading the Gospel rather than suppressing it. As a result of Paul's persecution, the early Christians of Jerusalem were dispersed throughout the Palestinian region and carried with them the Gospel and its liberating power, which they share with the people of the towns to which they flee. God's spirit is at work, even when apprearances might suggest that the enemies of the Gospel were "laying waste to the Church." Today we must also trust that the Spirit is stronger than any force that would try to crush it. We see today the spread of the Gospel, even in countries where the Church continues to be persecuted.
In the gospel reading, Jesus reveals himself as the "Bread of Life". The feeding of the 5,000 is central to all four of the Gospels, and John's gospel lays particular emphasis on its significance, both as a sign that the Messianic Age has arrived in our midst, and also as a sign revealing who Jesus really is. For the first time John places in the mouth of Jesus the grammatical formula "I am + (predicate)" - a formula which he will use continuously through the rest of his Gospel to reveal the various dimensions of Jesus identity. Today Jesus identifies Himself as that bread "which has come down from heaven," to give eternal life to those who believe in him.
Lord, deepen our faith in Jesus that we might share in His resurrection.
